Sometimes it is the curtains that play the role of an accent element of the interior and the sleeping room in this case is no exception.

Fashion does not stand still, more and more new, original, modern ideas appear among designers developing window decor. Fashionable trends can not always be used in ordinary houses and apartments, to meet the practical component of window drapery, which is so important for homeowners. But the trends of the coming season demonstrate a very concise, simple and even rigorous approach to the design of window openings with textiles. Modern design projects are filled with democratic and functional solutions, curtains are no exception. Let's try to understand together a wide range of color, texture and model solutions for decorating a modern bedroom with curtains, curtains and curtains. We hope that our extensive selection of turnkey solutions will help you get inspired for your own accomplishments.

The suitability of the material for sewing curtains depends on several factors, among which the most important can be distinguished:

• composition;
• density;
• weight;
• ability to drape;
• wear resistance;
• care requirements;
• external aesthetic qualities.

High-quality fabrics have a high density, are excellently draped and retain their presentable appearance for a long time. In order not to miscalculate the purchase of fabric for curtains, look at the material for clearance, check for creasing, look at the entire canvas for uniformity of coloring and preservation of the pattern, print or embroidery.

In order to make an impression of the ability of the fabric to drape, it is enough to unwind a couple of meters of material and collect the folds. Low-quality fabric easily stretches, threads diverge at the seams and such material even after careful ironing looks untidy, wrinkled.

Be sure to find out about how to care for the fabric. Depending on the origin of the fibers (natural, synthetic or mixtures thereof) that make up the material, various methods of caring for it are distinguished. Mixed fiber fabrics are now the most popular; they can be machine washed in a gentle mode. Silk, velvet, organza perfectly retain their appearance if dry cleaning is used, but cotton varieties, chintz and most types of polyester can be machine washed under normal conditions.

Cotton. Fabrics based on cotton fibers are excellent for decorating windows in a variety of stylistic manifestations. The material made from the cotton plant is durable and wear-resistant, it is easy to stain, it is easy to apply a printed pattern on it. Cotton fabric often has artificial impurities that contribute to improving the technological qualities of the finished product. Cotton material can have different densities, weave texture, it drapes well, conducts heat and protects from sunlight. But there are also disadvantages of cotton - it is very susceptible to sunlight, the paint and printed pattern fade quickly enough.If your windows face the south or south-west side, for cotton curtains you will need to get a lining, otherwise soon you will have to think about changing the window decor.

Linen. Fabrics made from linen fibers are also strong and durable. But linen is much tougher than cotton, has an original structure, for which many designers and homeowners around the world fell in love. Linen material perfectly holds hard folds and is great for making fabric blinds or folded curtains. But the higher the content of natural flax fibers in a fabric, the easier it will wrinkle, the more difficult it will be to smooth it. But many designers suggest not ironing linen curtains at all to demonstrate the naturalness of the fabric and give the room a slight negligence, rural motifs and obvious proximity to nature (if we are talking about decorating a bedroom located in a country house). Linen fiber fabrics are also exposed to direct sunlight, quickly fade and deteriorate (lining is required).

Silk. As everyone knows, silk fibers are a product of the activity of silkworms. Silk yarn fabrics are great for creating window drapes. Such material is not cheap, but the high cost is compensated by the beautiful appearance of the picturesque folds, falling folds. In addition, silk fabric is strong and durable, practically does not wrinkle and is excellently dyed, printed. But for most types of silk fabrics, only dry cleaning is provided.

Synthetic fabrics. To synthetic canvases it is customary to include not only artificially created materials, but also mixtures with natural products. It is the presence of artificial fibers that enriches the fabric with properties such as elasticity, strength and water resistance. The most popular curtain fabrics include:

• acetate;
• nylon;
• viscose;
• polyester.

Synthetic fabrics are easy to care for, but it is important to remember that they need to be ironed at a low temperature, otherwise the fibers can simply melt. But most modern synthetic materials can even do without ironing if they have been dried in a straightened form.

Before heading to the store for the curtains, you need to clearly understand how dense the canvases should be, how often you will pull them, can you give the fabric for dry cleaning or will you look after yourself. In many ways, the choice of material for curtains depends on the location of your bedroom relative to the cardinal points. For the south and south-west side, you will need fairly dense curtains that can protect the room from sunlight. Well, it's over, your lifestyle directly affects the choice of curtain fabric - the shift schedule and the need to sleep during the day makes its own adjustments.

In order for the choice of curtains for the bedroom to be successful and please you for many years, you must consider, in addition to the location of the room relative to the cardinal points, indicators such as:

• stylistic decisions made in the design of the room - decoration, furniture, textile decor of a berth and other elements of the interior;
• size and number of windows;
• the fabric and design that were used for the upholstery of the extra furniture and drapery of the bed.

From the point of view of the design of curtains for windows in the bedroom, experts recommend using traditional options in simple and concise solutions. The modern style of interior design generally strives for a democratic and even strictly appearance, but not without a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Classical curtains and curtains with vertical flowing folds can become a harmonious element of any interior. The traditional choice of curtains is not easy to protect you from possible mistakes, but also gives the room an elegant sophistication, skillfully combined with incredible practicality.

The modern styling of living spaces tends to unobtrusive minimalism, so often large windows in the rooms are completely devoid of decor. But for bedroom windows, the lack of fabric can be a big inconvenience for the owners. Therefore, designers recommend the use of blackout curtains without curtains for cases where it is necessary to protect themselves from sunlight, luminous lamps or prying eyes, and the rest of the time to spread the canvas and allow the room to bathe in natural light.

Traditional curtains and curtains decorated with flip loops through which a cornice is simply threaded - a modern and original way to drape a window. The advantage of such models is that, with little experience, they can be made independently, and a simple metal or plastic tube without fittings can be used as a curtain rod.

Classic curtains on grommets (plastic or metal rings) - a popular version of the drapery of windows in a modern bedroom. With the help of rings located at equal distances, integrated into the fabric, it is possible to create perfectly even and identical vertical folds. Curtains on grommets look stylish, attractive, but at the same time do not attract attention from the focal points of the room, such as a berth.

For a neoclassical style bedroom, you can use traditional curtains with pinches to slightly embellish the model. Interceptions with brushes will be a great addition to curtains made of expensive, high-quality fabric, not to mention the functional purpose of such a decor.

Perhaps the most functional of all known options for curtains are fabric blinds. The design of the blinds has a very simple, but at the same time effective system for controlling the illumination of the room. For many homeowners, blinds (especially horizontal) are associated with the office style, with plastic or wooden structures that were popular in the last century. But modern turnkey solutions for the decoration of residential premises have gone far in their progressive design. Modern blinds are made of fabric, which is easy to care for, furniture fittings can last up to 20 years (with proper use). From the point of view of the color and texture palette, it is very extensive and able to satisfy homeowners with different taste preferences and budgets for decorating windows in the bedroom.

With the phrase "curtains with lambrequin»Many represent luxurious and even elaborate designs from fabric with assemblies, frills and fringe in a classic style. But the modern interpretation of curtain models with a lambrequin has a very concise design - simple designs with straight lines and most often without any additional decor.

In modern design projects of bedrooms, traditional curtains with French-style lambrequins can also be found - textured, graceful, with a complex texture of folds. If you decorate such a pelmet with fringe and complement the design of the curtains with flounces, you can get a almost traditional appearance of the window decor in the style of classicism, baroque or rococo.

Roll or screen curtains great for decorating the windows in the bedroom, because they protect the space from sunlight. Screens can be made of both plain and colored fabric.

Roman curtains are a variation of roller blinds, in which a continuous web of fabric is collected in evenly distributed horizontal folds in the direction from the bottom up of the window opening. Curtains reliably protect the room from sunlight, look modern and do not require large expenditures of fabric.

There is a simple unwritten rule when choosing shades and colors of curtains for decorating living quarters - printed curtains can be used with plain wallpaper, but if a picture is used for wall decoration, it is better to prefer a plain fabric.The dormitory is no exception. Large curtains will look organically in a room with plain walls, especially if there are no more colorful colors in the interior except for the window decor.

The bedroom in light beige colors is a classic of the genre. Calm shades of natural origin soothe and relax. Many beige color options allow homeowners to choose the exact tone that will be the most harmonious addition to the bedroom interior.

If the bedroom has a four-poster bed, then when choosing the color and texture of the fabric for window decor, you must also take into account the peculiarities of the drapery of the bed. As a rule, the canopy is made using light, translucent fabrics. Because these days it is used primarily for decoration, and not in its original purpose - to preserve the warmth of a berth and protect it from insects.

The fact that the gray color and many of its shades at the present time is the most relevant trend, much has been said. Many homeowners and designers choose different shades of gray to represent bedroom window decor as the most neutral, yet functional option. Using two variants of classic curtains with different colors in shades of gray, you can create an original, interesting drapery of the window.
