The living room, compared to other rooms, maximizes the beauty of the whole house.
When designing a kitchen or a bedroom, you need to think more about the functionality and convenience of the rooms in everyday life, but in the living room we want to see the maximum sophistication and beauty.
One of the elements that is involved in decorating the living room is textile design, namely, we will talk about elite curtains.
Let's now figure out which curtains can be called elite?
Such curtains should look very beautiful and of high quality, without a single flaw. The pattern is clear, the seams are even and without protruding threads, the material is natural and of high quality.
Yes, you can find curtains that meet these criteria in almost any store, but it is very difficult to find those that will perfectly match the overall design of the living room.
Therefore, you need to contact a professional designer who will make custom-made curtains that are as compatible as possible with the overall design.
This means that elite curtains are those that are made flawlessly from expensive materials, as well as those that blend perfectly with the overall style of the room.
Style
If you are confident in your abilities and want to choose curtains for yourself without the help of designers, then you should learn more about existing styles.
Classic curtains with light wavy folds, which are great for draping a room, while tulle can be left out so that the room can easily fill with sunlight.
Lamberken curtains are ideal for large houses with high ceilings and windows, but they are not suitable for a room with low ceilings, since such curtains are quite large, hung with fringe and tassels, which visually reduces the room.
Roller blinds are perfect for people who appreciate conciseness and minimalism, because they do not have excessive bright colors and patterns. They are made from natural fabrics (cotton, linen), simple in appearance - plain.
Roman blinds are a sheet that covers the entire window and has bars sewn horizontally. Such curtains can be pulled up to the top of the window, like blinds.
They can be used as an independent window decoration, or in combination with other curtains, using Roman blinds like tulle.
Thread curtains - made from a large number of dense laces.
There are also filament curtains that imitate vertical blinds, where the curtains are divided into small filament curls, they are connected to a mechanism that pushes and shifts the curls together.
Curtains on the grommets are a single canvas, which is attached, or rather strung on the cornice with the help of special rings (grommets), which are sewn into the canvas itself.
Such curtains are mainly made in plain color without decor, since the grommets give them originality and play the role of decoration.
French curtains are graceful, but also not provocative, they are very easy to use in the neoclassical style. They have a characteristic difference in the form of hidden cornices.
The curtains seem to start from the ceiling and hang by themselves. But there are also French curtains with open cornices, where old clip rings are used, which add elegance and romance.
Little tricks for using curtains in the living room
Windows, and how they are framed with curtains, have a huge impact on the design of the entire room. With the help of curtains, we can visually increase the space, which is good, or reduce it, which is already bad.
And also curtains create symmetry of windows and control the amount of penetrating light.
When you need to visually increase the height of the ceiling, then you need to use curtains with a vertical pattern or filament curtains.
A horizontal drawing can visually enlarge the window.
In small living rooms, bulky curtains should not be used, as they will visually reduce an already small space. For such cases, simple, concise roller blinds are better suited.
When little sunlight enters the windows, then it is better to use light translucent curtains, these can be classic, roller or filament curtains.
Also, do not forget about such an important detail as the cornice.
The choice of cornice must be taken responsibly, as it must match the color and style of the curtains, and complement them.
An incorrectly chosen cornice may conflict with curtains, which is striking.

Architects and builders, manufacturers of furniture and accessories invest their time and energy in elite design. The concept of the interiors is dominated by natural materials and sophisticated designs: for example, curtains with pelmets. Window decoration can both set the tone for a luxury room, or be an elegant harmonious backdrop for the environment as a whole. Elite curtains are made in several styles.
Actual Options
Classic. These curtains are chic in everything from heavy fabrics to expensive accessories. The designs are predominantly multi-layered, consisting of elements such as lambrequins, curtains (including those with linings), curtains, ties, and cords. The elite classic character emphasizes the monotony of materials, a minimum of decor.
English style. Curtains are strict and laconic, but with a claim to originality: brocade, satin, velvet fabrics are decorated with checkered, striped, floral prints. An important aspect is that one of the other types of room textiles (carpet, tablecloth, upholstery, sofa cushions, etc.) should have a similar pattern. Of the accessories, lush pickups are acceptable.
Art Deco. A design direction that embodies freedom and looseness. The "highlight" lies in the combinations of heavy and airy, translucent fabrics (silk, taffeta, tulle, velor, satin, tapestry, etc.), as well as color contrasts. Bold options include combinations of coffee and strawberry, white and golden hues. Intricate patterns and eclecticism are welcome.
Elite curtains for the hall are made exclusively to order, according to the author's sketch, developed in accordance with the architectural features of the room, the contours of the window opening, style requirements and personal preferences of the buyer.
When caring for such curtains, you will have to work hard: professional dry cleaning will help to put in order multi-layer structures, which will clean and refresh the fabric without removing it from the eaves. In relation to light materials, machine processing is allowed in a delicate mode as it gets dirty.

Peculiarities
Elite curtains are very similar to the usual versions of this textile for windows, however, they are distinguished by a number of the following features:

We select a style
In order for an expensive interior design to truly look as luxurious as it stands, to please the eyes of guests and all household members, it is necessary to think through everything to the smallest detail, this especially applies not only to furniture, but also to textiles on the windows. If you have a desire to choose elite curtains, it is very important to note that this will not be as easy as it seems at first glance. In addition to the fact that such curtains are made from expensive fabrics and have a high price, they are unique in their own way, there is something designer in each of them, so you can’t just take and hang such a curtain in a room, at least it will be very thoughtless .
In order to choose the right curtains for a particular room, the following points should be considered:
- Room area. It is necessary to carefully select textiles so as not to make the room visually smaller and more constrained. But in rooms with a large space, you can easily give free rein to your imagination;
- Window shapes and sizes. It is also important to take into account these parameters, as well as what function the curtains will perform in the room. Will they be just decorative, or is it more important for you that drafts do not blow from the windows;
- It is also very important to pay attention to the proportions of the room and the style of its design. The main focus in the room can always be made on luxurious curtains with expensive decor, or you can send them to the background. It all depends on your preferences and the future design of the room.
As for the style of future curtains, here you also need to consider the following:
- Length. Curtains may not be very long, up to the window sill, below it and up to the floor (flowing models);
- It is important to decide on the cornices. They can also be very diverse, but the main thing is that they are in perfect harmony with the curtains;

- Straight curtains are perfect for small windows, they are in the best harmony with a variety of room styles. To prevent such curtains from looking boring, they should be shaped using a special holder located on the wall or a decorative hook. Some tie curtains with special ribbons and ropes;
- Also, do not forget to consider whether your curtains need drapery, which becomes a real decoration for any window textile;
- Choose the main style of future curtains. It can be Roman curtains, and French, and Austrian, and many other types.
- When choosing curtains, you should also consider whether they will be lined or unlined. Most often, it is required if additional protection from sunlight is needed, and in addition, such a lining protects the fabric from rapid fading, especially if the windows are located on the sunny side of the building.
Accessories
If you have purchased elite curtains, but something is still missing, then the answer is obvious - of course, accessories. These, it would seem, sometimes uncomplicated details in the interior may well play a major role in the decoration. You can decorate and complement the curtains as follows:
