Peculiarities

In most cases, window decor is an integral part stylish interior. You can only afford to have no curtains for... top floor buildings or panoramic windows with mirror outer side, in other cases curtains are necessary.

The “right” curtains can save a simple interior, while the “wrong” ones can ruin the ideal design idea.

Today, unusual new items in window design and time-tested options using new textures and trendy shades are relevant.

Classic

A traditional and familiar tandem of light fabrics (tulle) and dense fabrics (drapes). In a modern interpretation, they are a combination of plain light fabric of different colors from milky to graphite, with printed curtains. The print can be absolutely anything: floral motifs, inscriptions, portraits, stylization, and whatever the designer’s soul desires.

Classic is universal for all types of premises. It differs by the type of fabric (for example, jacquard for the living room and blackout for the bedroom), by the method of fastening: on loops, on hooks, on eyelets (on rings), on ties, on a drawstring (put on a barbell), by the method of decoration: tiebacks, magnets, cords, curtain tape.

A common option for decorating a living room is curtains with a lambrequin. It covers the part of the cornice on which the curtains are attached, and the composition takes on a decorative and complete look. However, it is important to consider that the lambrequin is not intended for rooms with low ceilings, since it visually reduces their height.

Austrian

The second name by which they are known is scalloped. They are a fabric that is assembled into horizontal folds using special laces or ribbons. They run along the wrong side of the fabric through several rows of loops or rings. If the cords are loosened, the curtain hangs straight, with soft puff folds remaining only along the bottom edge. Open curtains are gathered into voluminous flounces, giving the window a festive look.

Austrian curtains are made from fabrics different varieties and density. The most popular products are those with shiny surfaces: silk, cambric, taffeta or polyester. They cover the window quite tightly and look original. For light curtains, choose translucent, flowing fabrics that give the window an airy feel.

French

If you combine the features classic curtains with a lambrequin and scalloped curtains, you get what is commonly called French curtains. They consist of two vertical draping panels and one horizontal part, reminiscent of a lambrequin made of puffs.

Such curtains can be combined with transparent or colored tulle. It is better to choose the canvases themselves from a plain and well-draped fabric.

Romanesque

This is a single piece of fabric that is draped along the top edge using curtain tape.

There are as many variations of drapery as there are types of curtain tape:

• Columns– neat folds identical to each other in one row. The quantity and density is adjusted by the laces and the width of the fabric;
• Buffs. Unlike columns, they have the opposite effect - uneven folds. When assembled, they resemble a “waffle” surface, so “Waffle” is the second name for this type of drapery;
• Pencil. A leader in simplicity and versatility. Similar to columns, but the folds are smaller.
• Glasses(cups, small glasses). The name of this type is telling, since the shape of the folds is similar to elegant glasses. Of all types of drapery, they are the most magnificent.
• Bows. Simple bows formed by folds towards each other;
• "Butterfly". By appearance looks like diamonds. For the tie you need 4 cords in the tape;
• Counter folds.
• Fan.“French assembly” of a series of fans with 4-5 feathers.

The folds are assembled using several simple movements using laces in the tape. Their density can be adjusted by changing the build factor.

English

In accordance with the name, they fit best into ethnic style in the interior, since the print variations on the curtains are very limited here. The characteristically English design predominates: checks, stripes, small printed flowers, roses. They are more decorative than practical.

Crossed

A combination of two and sometimes three light translucent or transparent fabrics. The upper parts are fixed to the cornice and are located on top of each other, and the lower parts are spread apart. The more the fabric shines through, the more elegant the window design looks.

You can decorate most rooms in the house with flowing folds.

Crossed curtains do not move apart, so the material must let in a sufficient amount of light, and the fabric itself must drape beautifully. Fabric cuts of different lengths and widths will form a fashionable asymmetry in the design of the room.

Italian

In children's drawings, there are often curtains on windows that do not move apart to the middle, but are gathered on the sides of the window and tied with a beautiful ribbon, braid, or tassels. This is exactly what classic Italian curtains look like.

Modern models are not only tied up, but pulled together with cords, passed through rings or tucked into special holders.

An important nuance: for the curtains to look perfect, the ceiling height must be at least 3 meters.

As for the choice of fabric, for such curtains you should choose something expensive and luxurious: silk, satin, velvet and other noble materials.

They are made from beautiful translucent fabrics reminiscent of rice paper and tied with ribbons. Their main purpose is window decoration to cover up an unfortunate landscape.

Bamboo

As the name suggests, they are made from natural natural material. There can be three types: woven fabric that is wound onto a shaft, pleated curtains and vertical curtains, which fold like an accordion. The last type is intended for zoning a room and instead of interior doors.

• Vertical ones perform a decorative function. Their width makes it possible to experiment with materials and colors. You can find fabric products, plastic, aluminum, wood, bamboo, combined, 3D photo curtains and models made of threads (rain, noodles).

Screen

"Hourglass"

Distinctive feature curtains is that they are designed for narrow and high windows, and in the middle they are pulled together with ribbons, bows or laces. You can decorate the assembly site with decorative elements.

The principle of fastening is similar to screen curtains. Being put on a round rod, they can move freely left and right.

These curtains give the room an exotic, bohemian look, but at the same time function perfectly, while protecting from prying eyes and letting in enough light. Can be used both on windows and as interior curtains in the doorway.

Styles

All design ideas stem from three main directions: historical style, ethnic, modern.

• In historical style Today the luxury and chic of Victorian castles, Baroque, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau are embodied. These also include classicism and neoclassicism, Empire, Romanesque and Greek styles.

Whatever direction is chosen as the dominant one, the resulting interior should be synonymous with respectability and genuine beauty.

To achieve this effect, it is not necessary to purchase antiques and order stucco on the ceiling from a master; it is enough to use stylization from good quality modern materials. Still, it’s hard to live among things that resemble museum exhibits, and maintaining order in such a house will be problematic.

• Ethnic styles very popular in interior design. With their help, it is very easy to reflect the interests and passions of the apartment owner, using the national motives of a particular country.

For pedantic individuals who tend to maintain perfect order in their cozy home, variations on the theme of the English style will be interesting.

Indian style will suit ascetics, while refined personalities and romantics will like the ambiance of oriental fairy tales.

For adherents of everything natural - Russian style, Moroccan, Mediterranean, African.

Democratic sentiments are easily reflected in American style, and you can get as close to modernity as possible with the help of modernity.

• Modern trends take into account people's need for free space, savings on household items and the need for self-expression. They are the most variable and varied in terms of room decoration.

Minimalism, techno, hi-tech can use roller shutters and blinds, glossy, plastic and metal surfaces.

Grunge is characterized by classic window design techniques using modern materials, loft and contemporary for beauty without frills.

Fusion and pop art can afford to be defiantly bright and unusual; For such interiors, Japanese curtains, blinds, bright plain pleated curtains, photo curtains, rope curtains to create a bohemian atmosphere, crossed curtains are suitable.

Shabby chic, chalet, Provence, boho, country tend to provincial romance with natural motifs. Natural fabrics and floral patterns in different colors and sizes will be perfect for decorating windows with textiles.

Vintage stands apart among modern styles, which is a paradoxical phenomenon because it uses things from bygone eras. It is characterized by a retrospective of several decades ago, hereditary values ​​and things in the spirit of “treasures from the mezzanine”.

Beautiful design apartment design implies an interior within a style that matches the size and layout of the apartment, and the taste preferences of its owners.

• For the studio Modern styles that welcome free zoning of space, freedom and elements of creativity are perfect. The design of the window in this case may be the most unexpected, but priority is given to light translucent fabrics that let in natural light, which is necessary for visual airiness and visual magnification small area.
• In the design of apartments with a standard layout it is important to consider their size and number of windows. It is convenient to decorate one large one so that it becomes the central element of the composition. Classic types with lambrequins or more modern vertical photo blinds with a bright image are suitable for this. This technique works when decorating a hall and designing a living room.

• If you need to delimit a room from a hallway, accordion blinds or rope curtains will come to the rescue. Blinds completely isolate rooms from each other, and thread fabrics will create more lightness and airiness.
• For the bedroom It is important to use roller blinds, horizontal and vertical blinds, blackout in combination with airy tulle. This will allow a lot of light into the room during the day and completely darken the bedroom at night.

Width of textile curtains and vertical blinds measured by the width of the cornice with an increase of 10-15 centimeters on each side. Length – from the eaves to the expected length (to the window sill, below the window sill, to the floor).

The width of roller blinds and horizontal blinds is determined by the distance from bead to bead, since they are mounted directly on the frame. The length is measured along the window opening.

Satin and muslin fabrics are perfect for English curtains. We will also need a satin ribbon.

We mark the location of the satin ribbons on the material. We take the ribbons themselves, fold them 1 cm on each side, iron them, pin them to the fabric with pins and sew them on.

Pay attention!

Then we secure the upper edges of the ribbons, hem and iron the bottom of the curtain. Our curtain is ready!

A thing made with your own hands is unique. It stores the energy of its creator and helps fill the house with warmth and comfort. Sewing curtains yourself is not at all difficult.

We hope that this article will help you with this. Good luck!
