Curtains on one side: stylish asymmetry in the interior (24 photos)
Content
Curtains are the final touch in the design of various rooms, acting not only as a detail of the decor, but also a participant in the design. All types and forms of textiles are designed to create a unique and at the same time simple interior.
Curtains on one side have the following advantages:
- easier to use in everyday life: it is easy to close the window, it is easy to fold and fix it with a grab;
- the room is more freely ventilated with the desired location of the curtain;
- with a close arrangement of furniture, you can beautifully assemble the curtain on the side with the help of a decorative pickup;
- Use in the kitchen is appropriate (when installing a gas stove near the window).
Despite the “one-sided” arrangement, the curtain fully fulfills the functions assigned to it: decorates the window and is an active participant in the decoration of the room; prevents sunlight from entering the room and protects the environment from fading.
When installing the curtains on one side, they use different tricks to elegantly position the curtain relative to the window opening. The most common options: a solid canvas over the entire window opening (draped to the side or sliding), a narrow strip of fabric fixed on the cornice on one side of the window.
The nuances of choosing curtains
To make the curtain look organically in the room, several factors are taken into account:
- color palette and interior style of the room;
- level of natural light;
- window parameters and its location;
- the purpose of the curtain on the window (which is preferred - protection or beauty).
To create a harmonious environment, the following recommendations are taken into account: dense curtains are not used in darkened small rooms; light fabrics give the room airiness.
When using translucent fabrics, it is advisable to install rolled or Roman curtains in the opening. It is especially important to do this in rooms that include rest, sleep (bedrooms, children's rooms).
One-way curtains in the interior
Naturally, you can choose the appropriate decor and accessories for any interior and room. To make the whole atmosphere look organic, it is recommended to take into account some features of the choice of curtains for rooms for various purposes.
Cozy bedroom
First of all, you need to consider the parameters of the room. Spacious rooms are adequately decorated with a double floor-length model. The classic combination of curtains in the bedroom is a dense fabric and light tulle. Moreover, only a dense curtain can drape with a grab, and a transparent curtain - freely hang down and completely cover the window.
If the bedroom is modest in size, then a light curtain up to the windowsill will harmoniously look. At the same time, Roman or roller blinds can provide darkening of the room.
As a mount, you can use single and double cornices. A light curtain on grommets sewn from translucent fabric (chiffon, organza, cambric) will look exquisite. In addition to it, it is necessary to install a Roman curtain - to regulate the natural lighting of the bedroom.
Spectacular living room
One-sided models look more interesting in living rooms with a single window opening.Preference should be given to natural fabrics of natural shades. Be sure to take into account fashion trends when choosing a color palette. This year, the favorite was the blue color and all its shades. However, it must be handled with care. In the premises of the north side, it is desirable to dilute the cold blue palette with warm tones.
When choosing a cut for the curtains for the hall, it is taken into account that you can give the room a secular and elegant look with the help of paintings that fall in soft folds. The wide window is skillfully decorated with small curtains on both sides of the opening, performing an exclusively decorative function. In addition to such curtains, a thin tulle and a veil covering the entire window are used.
Also, a one-sided curtain, complemented by a lambrequin, will perfectly cope with the decorative function. The drapery of the window in the Provence, classic styles will stylishly accentuate the lambrequin in the form of a hard even canvas or a soft flowing curtain will adorn an exquisite lambrequin decorated with folds. High-tech interiors and minimalism will decorate the curtains on the grommets without the use of pickups.
Curtain in the kitchen - practical decor
Perhaps this is the most popular room, which is decorated with one-sided curtains. And this is understandable. Most often, the room has 1 window, which occupies most of the wall, so the curtain to the kitchen, in addition to the standard functions (protect and decorate), also solves the corrective task.
A properly installed curtain can visually raise the ceiling (low kitchen) or expand the room (narrow elongated room). In the first case, a double cornice is mounted near the ceiling and a transparent canvas is hung on the whole window and a decorative curtain assembled on one side. For visual expansion, a kitchen curtain is installed, supplemented with a direct lambrequin, and the cornice is chosen wider than the window opening or set it with an offset.
When choosing fabrics, both a combined combination of material and a single use are used. Basic requirements for textiles: easy maintenance, sufficient transparency for sunlight, resistance to pollution. It is best to use cotton or linen (with the addition of synthetics), organza, tulle. These materials are also suitable for sewing curtains of many styles and shapes.
Compliance with some rules when choosing a color scheme and ornament will help to create a harmonious interior in the kitchen.
The use of bright colors will give the room space and bring a feeling of freshness and comfort. If you definitely want patterned textiles, then preference should be given to large drawings or colors of not bright shades. The fine pattern of muted tones can give the impression of sloppiness.
Do not abuse pure white light. In a small kitchen space, it is desirable to dilute white sterility with close tones (beige, sand, light pink).
In kitchens with multi-colored wall decoration (wallpaper with ornament / pattern), it is better to decorate the window with plain fabrics that support the color scheme of the walls. If the walls are single-color, then it is appropriate to hang curtains with patterns / flowers / ornaments.
In compact kitchens, it is not recommended to hang canvases of dark shades that can visually reduce the room. The exception is kitchen studios, where the textiles in the kitchen support the decor of windows in the dining room, hall.
The main goal when choosing window decor is a harmonious combination of design proposals / options and the wishes of the owners of the apartment or house, because there is nothing worse than curtains that annoy the owners or have a boring and depressing look.
