Having a balcony or loggia in an apartment is an undeniable advantage. This is an additional area that can be used for various purposes: storing food, unnecessary things, or setting up a relaxation area on the balcony. But when decorating a window with a balcony door, difficulties arise. This is due to the difference in the size of the window and door area, which most often form a single structure. Therefore, it is advisable to keep them in the same style as the design of the entire room.
It is advisable to keep the design of the balcony window in the same style corresponding to the design of the room.
Care should be taken to ensure the functionality of the curtains so that they do not interfere with comfortable passage.
The doors to the balcony should open freely, without touching any decorative details.
Volumetric flounces, lush draperies and folds, which will create additional inconvenience when opening the door, are not suitable for decorating a window with a balcony door.
The choice of fabric for curtains is important. Since they will have to be moved frequently, the material must be durable, not easily soiled, washable well, and have a design that allows the curtains to be easily removed. To decorate a window with a balcony door, lush draperies, voluminous flounces and folds are not suitable, which in this case are not entirely appropriate - they will create additional inconvenience. The same rules should be followed when choosing curtains for the loggia. Of course, it is not at all necessary to decorate it with curtains, however, it is their presence that creates a feeling of comfort and, if necessary, can also protect from the sun’s rays. In this case, you will no longer need to add a curtain made of thick fabric to the design of the window and balcony door, but you can limit yourself to light, translucent curtains made of organza or tulle. In addition, the appearance of the loggia will be very attractive and have a finished look. If desired, you can hang tulle on an unglazed balcony in the summer.
Original window design options with balcony doors
Vertical blinds can be made of various materials: fabric, plastic, wood, bamboo.
Vertical blinds can be classified as a type of curtains. They can be made of various materials: fabric, wood, bamboo, plastic. Blinds are ideal if you need to decorate windows on a loggia or balcony. This option is the most practical and common, and also looks very modern. The blinds are easy to care for, they have a convenient opening mechanism and last a long time. It is better to use a model that will move away on both sides from the junction of the window and door. Blinds can be combined with curtains made of light fabrics or tulle, freely falling to the floor. This option is well suited for the kitchen. In this case, the curtains can be grabbed at the sides or tied with a decorative knot. Blinds with a lambrequin would look appropriate in a bedroom or living room.
Roller blinds are made of fabric impregnated with a special composition, thanks to which they repel dust and are easy to clean.
Roller blinds are very suitable for decorating a window with a balcony door, as well as loggia or balcony windows. They are a sheet of fabric packed in a plastic or aluminum box, which is mounted under the ceiling. Using a special mechanism, they can be lowered and fixed at different heights as desired. Roller blinds are made strictly according to the size of the window and fit closely to it. In this case, fabrics are used that are impregnated with a special composition, due to which they repel dust and other dirt and are easy to clean. For convenience, it is better to attach two pieces of fabric in the same color scheme - one on the window, the other on the door. This way it will be possible to open the balcony without affecting the curtain on the window. Roller blinds are a variant of blinds, and they can also be combined with curtains and lambrequins.
A combination of different models can be a successful and effective solution for decorating a window with a balcony door. For example, for a window, a Roman blind is used, which rises horizontally upward and gathers in uniform folds, and for doors, a Japanese panel is used, which is moved to the side. It is important to note that the fabric used is the same. It is best to decorate a kitchen or children's room in this style.
Decoration in classic style
Classic light curtains will look good both in a classic interior and in an interior designed in high-tech style.
Light curtains. This is a classic decoration option. They hide the balcony door well. It is more correct to use two sheets of fabric that move apart in different directions. When decorating a kitchen, it is better to give preference to simple, translucent fabrics. You can choose bright colors and prints that match the overall interior. Curtains can be beautifully draped and secured at the sides with ribbon.
Curtains of different lengths look interesting: the short one is located on the window, the long one is floor-length along the door. You can decorate a window with a balcony door in the kitchen without curtains, by hanging only tulle, especially if there are already curtains on the balcony. This creates a feeling of lightness and elegance. In addition, tulle is easy to wash and does not absorb moisture.
To decorate a bedroom or living room decorated in a classic style, curtains consisting of several layers are suitable - tulle fabric, side curtains made of thick fabric and lambrequins. It is imperative to make the part that is located along the balcony window movable. The lambrequin can be made asymmetrical: shorter above the doors with a gradual increase towards the other edge.
Thread curtains will make the room feel lighter and will not block light from entering the room.
Recently, thread curtains (muslin) have become popular. They are well suited for a children's room or office. They serve a more decorative function and go well with blinds.
Curtains with long hinges or eyelets will look harmonious with the balcony door. They move easily, do not come off, are suitable for fabrics of any density and texture, and go well with any interior. These curtains can be used to decorate any room in the apartment: from the nursery to the kitchen.
Choosing curtain rods for windows
A correctly selected cornice can influence the overall appearance of the window and help create a harmonious design. The type of cornice depends on the style of curtains, the chosen fabric, as well as the shape of the window and the height of the ceilings in the room.
For simple curtains, a regular round cornice is suitable; for multi-layer curtains, a cornice with several rows is needed. To create an asymmetrical composition, you will need several cornices of different lengths, located at different levels. For Roman and Japanese curtains, curtain rods made of aluminum profiles are used. The color of the cornice and accompanying accessories must fit into the overall style of interior design.
It is difficult to choose curtains for a kitchen with a balcony door, and choosing an option that is ideal in all respects is almost impossible. Due to the characteristics of the window unit with the door, curtains must be both practical and comfortable. And the aesthetic component is also important.

Off-the-shelf options are rarely the right size or style. The optimal solution is to have it made to order. But before going to the studio, you also need to decide on the design, material, and model.
![](https://i0.wp.com/delokuhni.ru/uploads/posts/2018-05/1526314096_20.jpg)
How to find a suitable option specifically for a kitchen of any style, we will discuss in detail below.
See also how the window and balcony exit are designed in real apartments:
Curtains for a kitchen with a balcony will have their own nuances. And the principle of their choice is based on the characteristics of the room itself.
- Firstly, the illumination of such a kitchen will be less, because... light passes through the balcony room or loggia.
- Secondly, the constant use of the balcony door should affect the choice of curtain rod and method of hanging curtains.
- Thirdly, the radiator on the wall under the window affects the choice of material.
- Fourthly, due to the nature of the room, the curtains will get dirty more often than in other rooms of the house or apartment. Frequent washing requires consideration of durability.
Due to poor lighting, dark curtains will aggravate the problem. White, cream, beige colors will make the kitchen visually lighter.
![](https://i1.wp.com/delokuhni.ru/uploads/posts/2018-05/1526314101_23.jpg)
For the same reason, curtains should be as transparent as possible. This means that dense options and others that transmit little light are not suitable.
Tip 2 – Choose a durable cornice and convenient fastening mechanism
Curtains will need to be moved or raised frequently (roller curtains), and the fastening mechanism must be as reliable, durable and easy to use as possible.
![](https://i1.wp.com/delokuhni.ru/uploads/posts/2018-05/1526314091_26.jpg)
String fastenings are not so convenient, but large rings are more practical.
Mounting the cornice can have several options:
- obliquely;
- two-level.
In the first case, the convex part above the door allows you to open it freely and unhindered. In the second option, an additional cornice is installed above the door so that you can move only part of it without touching the curtains at the window.
Tip 3 - Give preference to materials that do not deform under heat and are fireproof
Due to the radiator in the cold season, synthetic curtains can become deformed under the influence of high temperatures.
If you don’t want to spoil the item, then your option is natural or heat-resistant materials.
Due to frequent washing, cheap fabric will lose its beautiful appearance within a year: it will wash out, fade, and turn gray. Therefore, having saved once, you will be forced to update the design constantly.
Your option is not too thin and not thick, dries quickly, and does not absorb odors too much.
![](https://i1.wp.com/delokuhni.ru/uploads/posts/2018-05/1526314081_27.jpg)
When choosing fabric, give preference to semi-synthetic (combined) options. The natural component is environmentally friendly, but without the addition of synthetic fibers, the fabric will wear out quickly.
Today, manufacturers offer completely synthetic materials, but they are environmentally friendly and safe for health. They do not allow air to pass through so well, but they are durable, and thanks to special production technology and processing, they are fireproof.
Tip 4 - The design of the room and balcony block should be combined with the design of the curtains
A harmonious interior is one in which there are no details that violate the unified style space.
Curtains for a kitchen with a balcony door are often just such a detail. Many people choose thick, expensive curtains to cover unsightly trim on doors and windows. But it would be better to spend money on a beautiful design of the block and leave it without curtains at all, maintaining good lighting.
Another important design nuance is the size of the room. Lush lambrequins and other overly lacy options, which will surely appeal to adherents of tradition and classics, are inappropriate in a small kitchen. The simpler their design, the better.
Types of curtains: choose the right model
Tulle
A plain, maximally transparent tulle will decorate a kitchen with access to a balcony. The monochrome and discreet design makes this design option universal and suitable for any style.
It is important to select high-quality materials, because... kitchen tulle will be washed often and wear out faster.
There are several types of tulle:
- net. It transmits light and air well, but strongly absorbs all contaminants.
- veil. The fabric is very wear-resistant and drapes well.
- organza. Strong and durable. It is easy to wash and dry quickly, does not absorb much dust, and is inexpensive. Also ideal for the kitchen. The only negative is that it does not allow air to pass through well. You will need to move it aside for ventilation.
Short curtains
Lightweight curtains that can be assembled and fixed in this position during the day are an ideal solution for decorating door and window units.
Curtains can be made of any fabric that can be easily assembled.
Blinds
In minimalist, loft and Scandinavian style kitchens, this is the most common option.
But is it as practical as tulle? The latter, in case of contamination, can be quickly and easily cleaned by washing it in a machine. Blinds quickly lose their original attractive appearance: they accumulate soot, particles of fat and food. Washing off dirt on such a product is inconvenient and time-consuming.
Another drawback is the darkening, which does not meet the features discussed above. Even in an open room they take in too much light.
If other options are not suitable, and blinds are really the only successful way to decorate windows and doors for the interior, then
you need to take care of additional artificial lighting.
Roman
Recently they have become very popular and are actively used in kitchen decoration. They are practical: short, easily adjustable in length, ideal for small kitchens, look good in almost any style, easy to care for.
![](https://i2.wp.com/delokuhni.ru/uploads/posts/2018-05/1526314004_5.jpg)
The disadvantage of this window design option is the result of adjusting the length. To fully open the window, they must be assembled. And in a half-lowered state they will interfere with the full lighting of the kitchen. For some, this is inconvenient and makes no sense.
Rolled
Roller shutters with a chain mechanism are similar to Roman ones in terms of length adjustment. They have the same disadvantages. When folded, it’s as if they don’t exist. But in the evening, when half-closed, they look modern and stylish.
![](https://i1.wp.com/delokuhni.ru/uploads/posts/2018-05/1526314009_7.png)
With eyelets
Form beautiful and stylish folds. Therefore, it is important for them to select fabric that drapes well.
![](https://i0.wp.com/delokuhni.ru/uploads/posts/2018-05/1526314047_8.jpg)
An important advantage of balcony doors is that they are convenient to move aside due to the fact that they glide well along the eaves.
With lambrequin
To be honest, you rarely see such window design in modern interiors. And for a kitchen with a balcony door it’s not a very practical option. As they like to say, “expensive, rich,” but in reality it often turns out completely tasteless.
![](https://i1.wp.com/delokuhni.ru/uploads/posts/2018-05/1526314100_10.jpg)
If you have already purchased lambrequins, but it’s a pity to throw them away, then you can leave them if they have a laconic design and are not pretentious. The photo below is a good example.
And below is another option for curtains. Due to the fact that the door has a sliding mechanism, the fabric will not interfere with free opening.
![](https://i2.wp.com/delokuhni.ru/uploads/posts/2018-05/1526314089_12.jpg)
Japanese or panel
A long canvas with oriental notes looks especially stylish on windows and doors with panoramic glazing. In the apartments of some modern developers, such windows are becoming more common.
They are easy to remove and wash, do not absorb odors, and do not collect dust. If you choose a plain, laconic design, you can fit them into any interior.
But a significant disadvantage of this design is that they cannot be raised. They can only be moved. But not like usual ones, but by completely moving the entire canvas to the side.
Japanese curtains would be out of place in a classic or vintage interior. But in the style of minimalism or hi-tech will be a good solution. They resemble a screen and can also be used for zoning.
Thread curtains or muslin
It is difficult to choose such a model to match your style, but they look interesting and unusual. And this is what attracts us. Light monochromatic or monochrome ones are more versatile.
![](https://i0.wp.com/delokuhni.ru/uploads/posts/2018-05/1526314050_25.jpg)
In other words, thread curtains with a border from which ropes come out are called muslin or rope curtains.
![](https://i1.wp.com/delokuhni.ru/uploads/posts/2018-05/1526314098_41.jpg)
Thick curtains without tulle
Ordinary classic colored, opaque curtains, which can be pulled back during the daytime and decorate the door and window openings after sunset.
Previously, it was not customary to use thick curtains without tulle. But today designers are actively resorting to such design. After all, you can’t imagine a better design in a classic interior.
Selecting curtains for a bedroom or living room with a balcony is one of the most important points in interior design any housing. It is this that is the main accent and finishing touch of the design solution, on which the atmosphere and comfort of the home will depend.
In standard residential buildings, the living room or hall is usually equipped with a balcony or loggia. This fact does not in any way relate to the disadvantages of the layout, but it does bring some difficulties in decorating the opening with curtains in a room with a balcony and a window.
Incorrectly chosen curtains for a living room or bedroom with a balcony will have a negative impact on the overall design of the room: a curtain that is too long will interfere, and a short one will simply spoil the overall picture of the room.
Each room interior should have its own your own flavor, so let it be perfectly selected curtains that will favorably emphasize the advantages, hide errors and give a unique image to the room. Ideally, the curtain material should blend with the fabric, with which the furniture is upholstered, and decorative elements of the furnishings. The main thing is that curtains should provide free access to the doors of the balcony or loggia.
When choosing a window decor option with a balcony door in the living room or bedroom, you need to consider the following factors:
- The amount of daylight entering through curtains for a living room with a balcony door. It should be understood that even when the windows face the warm side, the glazed balcony will only be able to transmit part of the sunlight, so it is not recommended to place dark sealed curtains.
- When the loggia is not glazed and the room’s windows are large enough, then, on the contrary, it is worth thinking about good protection from blinding sunlight and prying eyes.
- The balcony is a fairly functional part of the home, because it is where they usually dry clothes, store a lot of things, or have a good time. Therefore, when designing an opening, you need to take into account how often this room is visited. If household members travel between the balcony and the apartment all day, then the exit should be as functional as possible so that textile curtains do not need to be folded or specially removed.
- It is necessary to carefully approach the choice of material with a balcony, taking into account the above factors.
Convenience of styles
It is important to understand that the design of such a window with curtains should remain practical and not complicate access to this small room. The aesthetic component also plays an equally important role, which is why the market today offers an endless number of options for decorating windows with curtains.
Strict blinds
Horizontal or vertical doors and windows, made from a variety of materials, occupy a minimum of space, are quite practical to handle, easy to use and do not interfere with free passage.
In addition, at the customer’s request, the blinds are equipped with a special remote control and can be moved both from the inside and outside of the balcony. They make the room visually larger, but have a rather formal look and require additional decor if installed in a living space.
Roman and roller blinds
Roller or Roman blinds in a room with a balcony door are a fairly practical option. They are concise and easy to use. Rolled options have a huge number of different colors, can be adjusted using the control panel and meet all the requirements for the decor of a bedroom or living room.
At the same time, Roman and roller blinds on the balcony door and window, like blinds, have a slightly office look, and to complete the image of the opening, it is recommended to frame them with weightless tulle that does not block the exit from the room.
Therefore, when choosing roller blinds or Roman blinds for a balcony door or window, you need to be careful, thinking through all the options so as not to turn your own apartment into an office.
Traditional simplicity
To use traditional curtains in a living room with a balcony, there is a wide selection of design solutions for any type of interior. You can choose luxurious, elegant heavy curtains in a classical style, late baroque or materials with metallized threads for modern living.
Dense canvases that go well with delicate, airy, but opaque tulle will hide the shortcomings of the balcony opening and harmoniously combine the exit and window into a single composition.
If we are talking about choosing curtains for a bedroom with a balcony door, then you should pay attention to models with a minimum set of decorative elements so that they do not create a congestion in the space. At the same time, the material should be easy to handle and maintain. This type of curtain is perfectly complemented by stylish and at the same time practical magnetic tiebacks.
Today, curtains with grommets are coming back into fashion. They perfectly decorate any modern interior, especially when placed in a window opening with a balcony door, because they are very easy to move away.
When choosing fabric for tulle and curtains, you need to remember the length of the curtains in order to take into account the possibility of fully opening the sash without damaging the textiles with strong tension.
Of course, traditional curtains for a living room with a balcony are not as practical as blinds, but they harmoniously smooth out the obvious difference in the size of the door and windows. In addition, this decorative option helps to hide an unaesthetic radiator, which is unlikely to decorate the room.
If straight traditional curtains seem too casual, then you can take a closer look at asymmetrical curtains. You can balance the exit to the balcony, which is too large compared to the window opening, by using an asymmetrical lambrequin, where its elongated side will go down to the window, and the short side will cover the door.
The tulle for this option is made up of a couple of parts to make access to the balcony easier and protect the thin fabric from damage. This decor for a window with a balcony in the bedroom looks quite original, organic and attractive.
Tulle transparency
When the balcony is glazed and curtained, then the living room window can be perfectly decorated with organza or veil tulle, which will allow you to decorate the opening without darkening the room. It is important that two-piece tulle is not suitable here, only one-piece fabric.
When choosing a solid piece of tulle, you need to add about two meters to the width of the opening, then the material will gather in beautiful folds and allow you to open the balcony door without damaging the fabric.
Plastic or metal eyelets are suitable for attaching light curtains. It is important that the color of the tulle harmonizes well with the interior of the room, and it is not at all necessary to use the usual snow-white fabric.
Delicate muslin
This year's fashionable novelty is considered thread curtains (muslin). They look unusual, decorate the window effectively and in an original way. Thin flowing curtains can create an incredible play of light in the room. You can purchase a single-color version of such curtains or put together a composition of a pair or more colors.
In addition, the following muslin options are offered:
- with beads,
- flowers.
- other decorative elements.
This option for decorating a window with a balcony is not only visually attractive, but also quite practical. You won’t have to constantly move the curtain aside to go out onto the balcony.
Japanese practicality
The most non-standard design method is considered modern Japanese curtains for a living room with a balcony. They are ideal for interiors in oriental, minimalist or European style.
It is worth choosing such curtains for a window with a balcony door when this room is often used. The curtain fabric, fixed to the frame, moves smoothly along the guides, so it is almost impossible to damage it. In addition, the curtain material is impregnated with a specialized compound that effectively protects against dust and dirt.
Bamboo (oriental)
An exotic design option for a window opening with a balcony in the living room. They represent an intricate natural fiber weave, ideally complementing and decorating the expressive oriental interior of any home.
Loggia decoration
In a modern apartment, the balcony is also a full-fledged room, even if it serves as a storage room. After all, this particular room is located on the outside and needs to be decorated with dignity.
An excellent solution in this case would be tulle for the balcony and curtains for the balcony door. You need to select them in the same way as for any room. The main thing is compliance with the overall style of the room. It is also necessary to take into account the size of the balcony or loggia.
For a small room, it is better to choose short fabric or tulle that does not reach the floor, so that the room visually appears larger. For a spacious loggia, floor-length curtains are suitable, which will bring complete harmony to the interior.
Today there are a huge number of ways to decorate windows with balcony doors to suit every taste, interior and budget. And therefore, everyone has the pleasure of choosing curtains for a window with a balcony, so that they can then enjoy the aesthetics and practicality of their own home.

Design features
Many people prefer not to design a balcony door with a window, because they have to constantly move the curtains aside to get onto the balcony. But if you leave the opening empty, it won't look very nice. And this is not very practical if the apartment is on the 2-3 floor.
All design options are suitable for the bedroom, living room and nursery
In the hall you can hang transparent tulle and thick curtains. Install blinds if it faces east so that the sun does not interfere with sleep. The same technique is suitable for the nursery and living room.
Using curtains for the kitchen is not advisable, especially if there is a stove nearby. Long curtains and tulle will only get in the way. Roman (if you want more decorative) and vertical blinds are suitable for the kitchen. They are easy to clean and won't get in the way.
Vertical blinds are attached to the wall cornice above the window or to the ceiling, and can be easily rotated to any position in relation to the opening.
![](https://i0.wp.com/bezkovrov.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/3e49294279.jpg)
Or you can hang short tulle near the opening and leave the door like that. This option is suitable for those who have kitchen utensils or a food pantry on the balcony. This way you won’t have to constantly move the curtain aside to get onto the balcony.
Japanese curtains will also work. They will organically fit into a minimalist kitchen design.
Custom decor
A common design option is a rectangular balcony door and a square window. But you can decorate in an unusual style. True, this is a labor-intensive and expensive process. The entire balcony block will have to be replaced. But after such transformations you will not have to hang curtains or blinds. You can place several pots of flowers on the windowsill so that the space does not seem empty.

Designing a window with a door leading to a balcony is a complex and creative process. It is not enough to just hang tulle and curtains. After all, you have to open the balcony all the time, and the curtains can get in the way. You need to select a design depending on how often you will have to go out to the balcony.
A balcony is a decoration for any apartment, a convenient and beautiful architectural solution. But to make the balcony pleasing to the eye day after day, it is worth decorating the window with the balcony door with curtains. Today there is a huge selection of different curtains and blinds that will fit into any interior. Some people prefer strict vertical blinds, while there are fans of traditional fabric curtains, light tulle, Roman blinds and elegant lambrequins. This article is devoted to photos and descriptions of popular options for curtains for balconies, balcony doors and windows.
Today, curtain manufacturers can offer a wide variety of options.
The following are popular:
- Horizontal blinds- a practical option, suitable for both home and office space. The metal version of the blinds is incredibly convenient to use: it is easy to clean from any dirt. Today there are blinds of different styles: not only strict white, but a variety of colors, sometimes with patterns. You can also find blinds controlled by remote control.
- Roller blinds: do not interfere with the opening of the balcony door; there are suitable options for all interior styles. There are a lot of original solutions.
- Roman curtains. This is a very non-standard option, just gaining popularity, but already appreciated as durable and inexpensive.
- Traditional fabric curtains. This option is good because it includes a simply wide selection of various light curtains and massive curtains.
- Tulle- the most airy, gentle solution that preserves the light and lightness that balcony windows impart to the interior.
Selection of textiles: what to keep in mind
In order not to make a mistake when choosing curtains, you should pay attention to the following important details of the design of a balcony window with a door:
- The balcony window with the door is asymmetrical. This asymmetry should either be hidden or played out so as not to disturb the harmony of the interior.
- Curtains overflowing with decorative elements rarely turn out to be a good option.
- Curtains must exactly match the interior, fitting into its style.
- In addition to visual effectiveness, functionality and practicality are also important. Curtains should open without difficulty, and access to the door should not be interfered with. It is also necessary to provide the room with sufficient light.
- Lambrequins can complete the design of the curtains. But here it is important not to make a mistake with the choice. Lambrequins make the appearance heavier and are often not suitable for all interiors. The color of a suitable lambrequin should match the bedspreads or upholstery, and the texture should match the textiles in the room.
Be sure to study the photos of the selected curtains. Keep in mind that in the photo they may not look the same as they will look in the apartment, but don’t get by with just a text description when choosing.
Safety comes first! Do not buy curtains made from flammable materials. Also scurtains should not flutter when the wind blows.
Curtains should be easy to care for, not requiring daily cleaning and easily getting rid of dust and dirt: in the place where they hang or in the washing machine.

Roller blinds on the balcony door: advantages
This type of curtain is similar in functionality to blinds. Roller blinds are completely adjacent to the window, therefore, they must be made in strict accordance with its dimensions.
Important benefits:
- Advantage over blinds: roller blinds can be combined with almost any decoration. The main thing is not to overdo it.
- Wide choice.
- Resistance to dust and dirt, achieved by special processing during production.
- This option is also suitable for windy rooms: heavy roller blinds do not sway when the wind blows.
- Do not interfere with the free opening of balcony doors.
There are very original proposals, of which, perhaps, the most useful are cassette solutions.
Cassette curtains differ in that their guides are almost flat in shape and are installed together with the frame, overlapping the glass. Visually they have a more monolithic structure with a window. More compact due to the depth of the bead and its use.
Roman blinds for the balcony door
Some historians claim that the Romans made sails the prototype of curtains. It’s hard to say whether this is true or not, but the design can be called very successful: Roman blinds, like roller blinds, are combined with a lot of decorative elements and are practical. Having not yet received sufficient distribution, they are already loved by designers and buyers for their efficiency, adjustable suspension height and elegant appearance when opened. It’s not difficult to sew them yourself if you know the technology (it’s better to have a master class with a photo).
Roman blinds are distinguished by wide transverse folds formed when the curtain is lifted and usually range from twenty to thirty centimeters in height. When the curtain is assembled, the folds are gathered at the top, where they hang over each other in relief. To get a smooth canvas, you need to lower the curtain.
Almost any material is suitable for making Roman blinds: from transparent to light-proof, from multi-colored and bright to monotonous, from heavy to weightless. Various finishes and designs are acceptable. They are suitable for office space and home, where they can be placed in the bedroom, in the nursery, in the living room, and in the kitchen. You can choose curtains with either vertical folds, visible when opened, or with invisible ones.
Decorating a window with a balcony door with curtains: taking into account the nuances
Just hanging curtains on the window is not enough. It is necessary to ensure their harmonious appearance within the framework of a specific interior by properly designing them.
The combination of curtains with successful curtains is an ideal option for living rooms. Blinds can also be combined with curtains.
Bamboo curtains can bring exoticism into your home. Bamboo, one of the oldest materials used in interior design, is considered a kind of protective amulet against evil forces. The material protects from drafts, direct sunlight and is not afraid of water. There are many different models and designs, from purely exotic and oriental to modern.
You should not select curtains to match the color of the wallpaper: it is more correct to focus on the color of the furniture facades.
Beware of excessive embellishment and decorative details. Everything is good in moderation.
