Curtains in the living room not only help to create coziness, but also to hide some defects in the walls and corners, and also visually change the size of the room. This is especially true combined curtains from several colors. We will discuss how to sew two-color curtains with your own hands and choose the right fabric in this article.
Selecting the texture of combined fabrics
Sewing curtains in two colors most often involves combining fabrics. In order for fabrics to harmoniously combine with each other, you need to choose a material of the same or at least similar texture. Firstly, such a combination looks more attractive in appearance. And, secondly, with practical point As a matter of fact, fabrics of different textures may shrink differently after washing, which can ultimately lead to distortion of the entire curtain.
In addition to texture, the density of the material must also be taken into account. Particularly successful for curtains would be a combination of medium-density fabrics that flow and do not weigh down the window. In addition, the density of the fabric will depend on what function of the curtains is being emphasized. If the curtains serve only for decorative purposes, then you can choose any fabric that suits the style and color, since by securing these curtains, you will not move them often. If curtains are needed to shade a room during the day or hide a room in the evening and at night, then in this case you will need a denser fabric with good light resistance.
Having decided on the texture, you need to carefully select the colors for the curtains. You can create a lot of combinations of two colors, but whether they will be appropriate in the living room is not an easy question. What do designers recommend about this? Here are some of their tips:
- When combining two colors of fabric for curtains, take as a basis those shades that are present in the design of the living room. Perhaps it will be just one shade - it will be the main one, and an additional one can be selected to match this main one. In this case, two-color curtains will echo overall composition living room;
- Particularly interesting are combinations of contrasting colors, for example, red and white, black and white, pistachio and chocolate, brown and turquoise. Such curtains will become an accent element in the interior; they are great for monochrome decoration of the living room, if the room seems boring to you;
- You can combine colors on curtains both vertically and horizontally. If indoors low ceilings, then it is better to combine colors vertically. If it is necessary to extend the width of the room, colors are combined horizontally;
- It is better to combine fabrics of two colors with each other so that the darker color falls on the lower part of the curtain, and in the case of a vertical combination, on the outer part.
What is needed to sew straight curtains?
Let's look at a simple example of how you can sew two-color curtains with your own hands. Having basic cutting and sewing skills, make two straight classic curtains won't be difficult. The first thing you have to do is measure the length of the cornice and the height of the ceilings from the floor to the hook on the cornice. These parameters will help determine required quantity fabrics.
For curtains, they usually take 1.5-2 lengths of cornice, that is, for a three-meter cornice, taking into account the hemming of the side sections, you will need 4.9-5.4 meters of fabric. The height of the fabric is calculated as follows: add fabric to the height of the ceiling to hem the curtains at the bottom and top, for example, for a ceiling 2.5 m high, fabric 2 m 66 cm is sufficient. In addition, if you combine the fabric vertically, then you need to add more to the length 2 cm (4.9 +4 = 4.92 m), and if horizontal, then add the same value to the height of the curtains. Thus, we found that for curtains with a vertical color combination, you will need a piece of fabric with a length of 4.92:2 = 2.46 m and a height of 2.66 m of one color and the same piece of a different color.
In addition to fabric, you will also need:
- threads;
- needles;
- curtain tape;
- scissors;
- pins.
We sew curtains ourselves
Before you start sewing, take two pieces of purchased fabric and cut each of them exactly in half vertically. To sew a fabric from two parts of different colors, you need to fold them with their front sides facing each other. Then, at a distance of 1 cm from the edge, stitch on sewing machine and overlay. Next, gently press the seam with an iron. Fold the sides 2 cm and also iron, fold again 2 cm and iron again. Now carefully make an even stitch along the edge of the fold. The bottom edge of the curtain is hemmed in the same way.
Let's move on to sewing the curtain tape. To do this, fold the curtain to the width of the tape and iron it. We apply the tape to the lapel with the loops facing up and fasten with pins. We make a stitch along the upper and lower edges of the curtain tape. The second curtain fabric is sewn in the same way.
Important! Before you start sewing, check the quality of the stitching on a separate piece of fabric and, if necessary, adjust the thread tension so as not to spoil the fabric later.
Well, now all you have to do is thread the hooks into the loops of the ribbon on equal distance from each other. And hang the curtains on the cornice. Such curtains usually complement beautiful tulle or light transparent organza, in combination with which it looks elegant and attractive. Thanks to this, no one will be able to see you, day or night.
Thus, two-color curtains for the living room can not only be ordered from experienced craftsman, but also sew it with your own hands. Combined curtains will help refresh the interior, even if you do not plan to renovate. A little patience, a desire to work, and you yourself will turn the reception room into a cozy and comfortable place where your loved ones and friends will gather.

Two-color curtains solve these problems more efficiently exactly as many times as the number of colors and shades used to make them.
Combining curtains: simple and original

The color combination plays a decisive role in combination curtains in terms of creating the perfect look: stylish and complete. You can, of course, through trial and error, choose two or more colors for your own design solution. Or you can use the color wheel, in which colors are arranged according to the principle of related contrasts.

How to sew two-color curtains yourself
It's nice when a room is decorated with stylish beautiful curtains. But if they are made with my own hands, this is doubly pleasant: the window is decorated, the family is proud, the room is filled with positive energy.
To achieve this effect, you need a little free time and basic sewing skills. So, let’s determine the procedure for sewing two straight combined curtains.
Fabric calculation
Fabric calculations should be made according to two parameters:
- cornice length;
- ceiling height.
The calculation of the fabric height is as follows: the centimeters required for hemming from the bottom and top are added to the ceiling height parameter. If the standard ceiling height is 2.5 m, then the arithmetic is as follows: 2 m 500 cm + 8 cm + 8 cm = 2 m 66 cm.
The length is calculated as follows: the length of the cornice * 1.5 + 2 cm by 2 widths of the hem of the side cuts. If the length of the cornice is 3 meters, then the length of the fabric will be equal to: 3m*1.5+ 2cm+2cm=4 m 90 cm.
Since we planned to combine the curtains vertically, we need to add another 2 cm to the length: 4 m 90 cm + 2 cm = 4 m 92 cm
Total, we get, for combined curtains vertical way, you will need 2 different pieces of fabric:
- width: 2.46 m (4.92:2);
- length 2.66 m.
Selecting fabric and cutting the model
When selecting fabrics in a specialized store or from your own leftovers, you need to take into account that they match in color, pattern and texture. It will also be important to take into account quality: fabrics must be of the same level of quality.
We will produce step by step cutting and stitching:
- Let's prepare two different pieces of fabric and iron them.
- Divide each of them exactly in half and cut them.
- We take two halves of different fabrics and place them right sides together.
- At a distance of 0.7mm-1cm from the edge we sew on a sewing machine.
- Finish the edge using an overlocker.
- Iron the seam.
Finishing the seams and the final step: hanging the curtain
We process the side seams as follows:
- Fold the edge 2 cm and iron it.
- fold it again 2 cm and iron it with an iron.
- Having stepped back 2 mm from the edge of the fold, we make an even stitch on the machine.
In a similar way, we hem the bottom edge of the curtain.
Sew on the curtain tape:
- We tuck top part curtains the width of the tape, iron them. We put the ribbon with the loops on top and stitch it “in profit” with contrasting threads.
- We machine sew the tape on both sides.
- We do the same manipulation with the second curtain.
In order to hang the curtains in the loops on the tape, insert plastic hooks at the same distance from each other and hang the curtains on the cornice.
How to wash combined items
Washing any curtains is a responsible undertaking. But when modern level automatic washing machines not a problem at all. What nuances of washing combined curtains should you pay attention to:
- pre-soaking in large quantities warm water;
- washing, preferably in a special bag;
- It is better not to hang curtains, but to lay them out horizontally.
- When ironing, pay attention to smoothing the seams.
If you are not sure that you are ready to cope with the task, give priority to dry cleaning.
If you know the rules, it will not be difficult to harmoniously arrange your home.
