Curtains for the bedroom - new in 2018

It is difficult to imagine the interior of the bedroom without drapery on the windows. No matter how much designers around the world say that modern styling tends to the maximum amount of sunlight that can only penetrate the window, but for Russian owners of apartments and private houses a “bare” window opening, without textiles, is a sign of a lack of comfort. At the same time, the room may look modern and fashionable, but most of our compatriots will not feel comfortable in it. But the curtains and curtains in the bedroom fulfill not only a decorative role, but also carry a very serious functional load - they protect the room from sunlight (if necessary) and from prying eyes. Perhaps the bedroom is the most difficult room from the point of view of choosing textiles. For the window, you need to choose blackout curtains that do not let light in, but at the same time maintain the lightness of the interior image, withstand all the design elements in the selected color scheme, but do not make the design too boring. There is no need to talk about the variety of ready-made solutions and options for the execution of window draperies on order - the range is incredibly wide. That is why it is important to clearly represent the color and texture, the quality of the material and its dimensions, before you go shopping or the Internet in search of the perfect curtains for the bedroom.

It is not surprising that for many consecutive seasons (not even seasons, but decades), the traditional design of curtains is considered to be the most popular option for window drapery decoration - these are straight canvases that fall down with vertical folds from the cornice to the floor. A universal option for rooms of any shape and size, for windows of various modifications. Such a design of curtains always helps to visually “stretch” the space to a height, adding the necessary centimeters, if not actually, but visually.

Among the models of traditional curtains, there are many varieties. They differ, first of all, by the type of fastening to the cornice. Canvases with flip loops look original - such curtains will organically look in the bedroom, decorated in the style of country, beach, Provence and modern.

Models of traditional curtains on grommets do not lose their popularity - the canvases are threaded onto the cornice through rings made of plastic or metal. The advantage of this method of attachment is that the canvases fall in uniform folds, which are formed by the grommets. Most often they use stainless steel rings, chrome-plated elements, plastic products are much more unusable.

If you have a magnificent view outside the window, then you will not want to hide it. For panoramic windows, a dense tulle is more suitable, rather than curtains. Spreading even folds from the ceiling to the floor, such canvases will not only emphasize the luxury of panoramic windows and the beauty of nature behind them, but also visually increase the height of the ceiling.

If your bedroom has windows of various modifications, then it would be logical to use curtains of different models. For example, for standard double-leaf windows and a balcony block or glass doors leading to the back yard, you can use a combination of traditional and roller blinds made of the same fabric.

Bamboo roller blinds are very popular. They perfectly protect the windows of rooms located on the south side of the building from sunlight. For those who work in shifts and have to sleep during the day, this option of protecting the bedroom window is a great way not only to drape, but also to bring originality to the interior.And yet, it must be borne in mind that such curtain models are most suitable for a sea or beach style of interior decoration. Therefore, their specificity is usually “smoothed out” by a company of ordinary vertical curtains (most often monophonic, neutral shades).

Curtains with a lambrequin can be used to decorate the windows in bedrooms, decorated in a modern style or neo-classic design options. Modern style seeks to simplify, and therefore lambrequins (horizontal strips of fabric located throughout the width of the cornice) look concise and simple. If earlier lambrequins were used in order to hide the flaws of decoration or installation of windows, nowadays it acts exclusively as a decorative element of a curtain composition.

In some modern design projects of bedrooms you can find the use of Japanese curtains - fabric paintings in the form of screens covering the window (part of it) or protecting the sleeping area from the rest of the combined room. Japanese curtains can be presented both in a single-color version, and in the form of a canvas with a pattern.

There is a “golden rule” to using the color of curtains in a room of any functional purpose - if the walls of the room are plain, then the window cloth can be selected with a pattern, but if the decoration of the vertical surfaces is printed, then the textiles for window drapery must be used neutral. Of course, for each rule (especially the unspoken one) there are exceptions, but for beginner designers of their own home it is better not to risk and not experiment with the possibilities of combining prints on wallpaper and curtains.

If you do not want to take risks or just see your bedroom, executed in the same color scheme, then choose neutral colors of fabrics for curtains. Snow-white curtains always look festively, smartly, bringing some lightness, airiness to the image of a sleeping room. Even against the background of walls in pastel colors, snow-white curtains will look spectacular.

In the coming season, according to experts, the most popular will be complex shades of blue. Whether one of the options for a huge palette of shades of this basic color is suitable for your bedroom is up to you. But it is obvious that the blue color will not become a catalyst for outbursts of emotions, it will contribute to the creation of a calm, relaxing atmosphere of the sleeping space. The only limitation is if your room faces the north side of the building, then blue shades will add coolness to the image of the room, they must be diluted with light or bright wood surfaces, for example.

Gray color and many of its shades have been popular for several seasons. This love of designers and their customers is easily explained by the universality of color, its neutral color. Curtains of any shade of gray organically fit into any interior design, and in modern style they will look more than appropriate. It can be luxurious velor or dense jacquard, translucent linen or one of the brocade variations casting with steel shine - gray curtains are always relevant.

Beige shades can also be called neutral, which is why they are popular with most of our compatriots. Warm shades help create a cozy, relaxing atmosphere, which for many owners of houses and apartments is a fundamental factor in the design of sleeping space.

Dark curtains will always be in demand for the design of sleeping spaces. If your room is impressive in size, and you need not only reliable protection from sunlight, but also the ability to bring contrast to the interior design, then the dark canvases on the windows can be a spectacular finishing touch in its creation.The color of dark chocolate, dark graphite, and even ash black will look more organic if they intersect with the dark execution of any bedroom interior item - the head of the bed (or the entire frame), a chair in the reading corner, an ottoman at the foot of the bed or bedside table.

Curtains as a bright color accent - a spectacular design technique that can make unique even the most neutral bedroom interior. If you choose a really colorful, bright color for the execution of curtains, then let it be the only accent spot on a light background.

Using printed fabric is a great way to make window draping an accent item in your interior. Curtains with a bright or colorful print will certainly attract attention, and if necessary they will distract you from design flaws or finishes, or structural imperfections in the room. For what style of interior print curtains are suitable? In fact - for anyone, it all depends on the decor of the bedroom and on the pattern on the fabric, its brightness, motive.

Given the fact that modern style tends to monotonous walls in neutral, light colors, the use of printed fabrics can be an excellent option to bring the warmth of home comfort to fairly simple bedroom interiors. So, what prints are relevant in the new season:

• geometric (especially horizontal wide stripes and vertical narrow and frequent ones);
• plant (flower) - perhaps only in the bedroom a similar pattern can be considered appropriate for modern style;
• with ethnic motifs (relevant for an eclectic bedroom or room, decorated in one of the variations of the country style)
• abstract.

Wide horizontal stripes help visually increase the size of the room, “stretching” not only the window opening, but also the space around it. This print is suitable for rooms with a neutral, light finish.

Vertical stripes, in turn, help visually increase the height of the ceiling in the bedroom.

If your bedroom has a modest area, and you want to use fabric for curtains with a colorful pattern (large print), then let this eye-catching color only be on the drapery of the windows. The abundance of colorful textiles in a small room can create a negative effect and visually make the room even smaller.

The use of various materials for the manufacture of curtains is an original design technique that helps to bring uniqueness to the interior. Even simple, straight curtains made of different materials (rarely a combination of more than three types of fabrics can be found) can transform the interior, make the most ordinary atmosphere interesting, creative. Most often, you can find a combination of plain fabric with print, in which the color of the main fabric is used.

The fabric can be combined both horizontally and vertically.

So that the curtains do not “fall out” of the overall picture of the bedroom interior, their color and texture can be combined with different design objects. This may be the textile design of the bed or the coloring of the bed itself, upholstery of additional upholstered furniture (armchairs or ottomans), lampshade material on table lamps or wall sconces, carpet color and even the design of bedside tables.

The execution of textile for curtains in the same tone as the upholstery of the head of the bed is a great way to create a balanced image of the bedroom ...

 

No less effect can be achieved by combining drapery fabric for a horse with the execution of decorative pillows that adorn a sleeping place ...

From the same fabric that the curtains are sewn, you can make a bedspread or the so-called “path” for decorating a bed.

Not only curtains are used for window openings in the bedroom.The canopy is decorated with textiles, the bed itself is fenced off from the rest of the room, one bed is separated from the other in the room where heterosexual children or children with a big age difference sleep, curtains can be used exclusively for interior decoration. There are many options for using textiles to give the character of the room a greater comfort.

If your bedroom is part of the living room, then the desire to create some secluded atmosphere in the segment for sleeping and relaxing can be considered natural. Curtains are a great way to separate the sleeping area from the common room, without using complex structures - partitions and screens. The advantage of textiles in this case is that it can be easily pushed to the side and allow sunlight to penetrate into the space of the "bedroom". You can use either one canvas or two strips of fabric, closing like a curtain - the weight depends on the size of the room and the length of the cornice.

One of the options for the alternative use of curtains in the bedroom is a curtain for a built-in wardrobe. For these purposes, ordinary straight canvases of neutral colors that do not attract attention are best suited.
