The design of the windows in the hall is no less important than the upholstery of upholstered furniture and textile accessories that give the room a homely feel.
Curtains in the interior of the hall should be beautiful, harmoniously fit into the general stylistic direction and perform functions such as protection from sunlight during daylight hours and prying eyes when it is already dark outside and the lights are on in the hall.
Models of modern curtains
In 2016, designers were given relative freedom in terms of choosing models, since there were a wide variety of options in the trend.
- Classic straight curtains without lambrequins. Such options look organically on their own and in combination with models that are more complex in terms of design, for example, Roman, Austrian and French curtains;

- Curtains on grommets. Eyelets look spectacular and make it easy to drape the canvas into even and aesthetic folds. In addition, such metal rings are loved because they make it easier to hang curtains after washing. This is especially true for the hall, where the canvases are often voluminous and heavy;

- Curtains with large loops have become an alternative to models with grommets. They look no less interesting, and in terms of practicality they can even surpass eyelets;
- Lambrequin curtains remain a trend for halls. But if a hard pelmet is preferred for children's rooms, then in the halls swags and soft models have an advantage. This detail of the window decor is able to give the hall solemnity and representativeness and make the very composition of the curtains more complex and interesting;

- Another compositionally complex solution for decorating windows in the hall is the “bishop's sleeve” model. Interesting drapery and decor with tassels make such curtains elegant and elegant;
- Roman models, which are not very suitable for the interior of the hall because of their simplicity and conciseness, in 2016 are usually combined with curtains or tulle.
Materials, colors and prints

The primary factor of coziness and comfort in the house is the interior. Therefore, creating a special atmosphere, you need to remember about the design, style, color background, furniture arrangement and, of course, the correct design of the window space. Here, curtains and curtains are an indispensable companion. Recently, tulle without adding curtains has been in fashion, it makes the room larger, gives lightness and at the same time prevents direct sunlight from penetrating into the room, gently scattering them.
Let's take a closer look at the tulle for the hall. To begin with, this is usually a public room in which we arrange gatherings with relatives, invite guests, or simply gather for dinner with the whole family. Therefore, it is the living room that is the face of the house, an indicator of the taste, individuality and style of the owners.
This fact suggests that being here, guests and loved ones should feel comfortable, be in a good mood, tune in to a positive mood and communication. In the interior of such a room, windows and their design play an important role.
Curtains are able to complete the interior very profitably, bring zest to it, add charm. In 2017, light flowing tulle for the hall, smoothly falling from the window, is in fashion, options with printed flowers, large patterns and lurex have gone into oblivion.
Fashion trends
Simple, straight, uncomplicated curtains are very popular. Although unusual designs, in the form of lambrequins or additional tails made of the same material, are also in fashion. You can decorate a room with their help in any desired style - from classic options to styles such as hi-tech, baroque, modern, minimalism.
In addition, now beautiful tulle is distinguished by its practicality - it is easily washed, most materials do not wrinkle, are lightweight and lend themselves to many modifications.
More recently, advanced experts advised to completely abandon the use of tulle. Now almost no room can do without it. On what option to stop?
For the classic design of the room, light, calm shades, straight or with large airy folds, will be appropriate.
The novelties of tulle are models with tassels, fringes, lambrequins and even elegant and festive ruffles.
If there is enough space in the living room, it makes sense to play with colors by choosing a fabric that matches the furniture or carpet. Or you can make a slight accent on the windows and choose a completely different shade, the main thing is that it harmonizes with other interior items.
When the hall is small, it is better to choose pastel-colored tulle - beige, blue, pink, mint, white and the like.
Remember about psychological calmness, relaxation, mood enhancement when choosing a fabric. Warm, yellow-orange, sandy and delicate tones will be more favorable. Be careful with bright colors - red is annoying, a combination of black or brown tones is depressing. If you want to combine with more saturated ones, then stop at purple, emerald, calm blue and burgundy tones.
An interesting option would be the design of tulle for the hall in the ombre style, when delicate shades turn into more saturated ones towards the bottom.
Pay attention to the length. The distance between the floor and the curtain should not stand out. It is better if the fabric covers the floor a little.
An important point is the density of the fabric. For bright large rooms, you can take more dense curtains. In the case when the windows are small, it is worth taking a more transparent fabric.
The general environment plays a big role. When there is a lot of furniture and other items in the hall, plain models are better suited. In a design with a minimum of furniture, you can choose curtains with a pattern - the most popular options are with vertical stripes, geometric colors, photo printing in the form of butterflies, a night city, landscapes. The latter option will favorably place accents and be able to hide minor flaws.
Types of tulle
The material from which tulle is made can be completely different in composition, color, and tailoring. However, there is a general rule - the fabric must be transparent or translucent and have good plasticity in order to form beautiful folds. The most commonly used materials for tailoring are voile, organza, silk, although now there are also cotton options, and even linen.
When combining curtains with curtains, look at the type of fabric - combine natural with natural, synthetic with synthetic.
Kisei is an excellent choice for a classic style and oriental motifs - simple and at the same time with extraordinary exotic notes.
In a rich interior, with luxurious furniture and bright elements, it will be right to purchase a veil.
Living room in Art Nouveau style will sparkle with new colors if you hang guipure tulle.
If you have chosen ethnic style or rustic motifs for the hall, linen or cotton tulle will be an appropriate solution.
Little tricks
To begin with, when choosing curtains, it would be nice to make sketches of the room. Or look at the catalog with photos of tulle for the hall. Remember that unwisely selected tulle can bring disharmony to the overall look of the room and completely spoil the design.
The large hall will be decorated with multi-layered models.
In the presence of arches and bulky structures, choose something as simple as straight curtains and curtains.
For a narrow room, a tulle with horizontal lines, hung from wall to wall, will be a wonderful solution.
For a low room, you need to purchase a fabric with vertical stripes.
A simple interior is well diluted with fun options with a metallic thread or sequins.

- Room size and ceiling height;
- Number and shape of windows;
- Stylistic interior design;
- The color palette, and especially the color, texture and pattern of furniture upholstery;

Therefore, if you want to choose the perfect curtains for the hall, then it will also be useful for you to familiarize yourself with our other material. Next, we will look at the popular novelties and trends of 2016.
Modern design of curtains for the living room (new photo 2016)
Modern trends in the design of the living room, as well as other rooms in the house, are increasingly reduced to minimalism, simplicity and conciseness. When it comes to curtains, this means choosing a plain fabric with a simple cut that will make an impression with a beautiful color or expressive texture. In 2016, curtains in luxurious blue shades, as well as neutral beige, gray and brown tones, are especially popular.
In addition to a pleasant appearance, curtains should provide comfort to people in the room: protect from the sun and give privacy. Therefore, today the trend is functional, a combination of traditional curtains with roller blinds and blinds, as well as curtains made of dense fabric.
Roller blinds and Roman blinds made of simple natural fabrics (cotton or linen) fit perfectly into the laconic atmosphere of modern living rooms. In a minimalist interior design, it can be quite difficult to find the right decor for windows, so here they also serve as decoration. Patterned roman blinds look best paired with thick monochrome curtains, and if they have a pronounced texture (like bamboo), then with light and transparent tulles.
Fabric blinds in 2016 do not lose their popularity, especially their vertical models. They not only protect the interior of the living room from the bright sun, but also create a visual illusion of increasing the height of the ceiling.
Stylish curtains for the living room 2016. Choosing a color scheme
The modern style of the living room is easily emphasized by dark-colored curtains, especially if their shade is also included in the upholstery of upholstered furniture, sofa cushions or other interior elements.
Pastel curtains are a win-win option for a calm and cozy living room design in a modern or classic style. In addition, they are perfect for decorating a hall in popular Provence and Shabby Chic styles.
Curtains for the living room in beige and brown are always on trend to create a natural and relaxing atmosphere. In 2016, you should especially look at fabrics in the color of milk chocolate, cocoa or potter's clay.
Snow-white curtains can be the best complement for a luxurious art deco or shabby chic living room design, as well as black and white rooms. In turn, black and dark gray curtains will look natural without weighing down the interior, only in the living room with bright white walls and ceiling.
A simple rule for you to remember: if the wallpaper in the living room has a pattern, then the curtains should be simple, and vice versa. In 2016, plain curtains for the living room are in trend, but if you already have plain wallpaper and sofa upholstery in the hall, then curtains with a beautiful modern pattern can enliven the interior and become its main decoration. Among the patterns for curtains, vertical stripes, geometric and modern floral motifs are in fashion today, as in the following photos.

Therefore, it is necessary to select new curtains for the hall very scrupulously, paying attention to a whole list of nuances.

Curtains for the hall 2019-2020: trends
The fashion for minimalism and laconic Scandinavian design with the stingy and emphatically simplified approaches to window design inherent in these styles has begun to become obsolete. It is pleasant to note that in the collections of fashionable window textiles since 2016 more lush, bright, complex and elegant trends began to appear. Therefore, we are pleased to present you with the following guidelines that will help you choose fashionable and functional curtains for the hall and be sure that they will not go out of style in the next few years:
1. Lush decoration
As we have already mentioned, laconicism in interior design is beginning to lose ground, which means that simple and modest, practical "bare" windows are a thing of the past. Long live intricate drapery, lush layering and heavy, luxurious drapes.
2. Rich, dynamic colors
Also, the exit from the fashion of minimalism and the Scandinavian style marks the return of bright and saturated colors of window textiles. And what better can complement the atmosphere of the room and make it more comfortable and memorable, if not curtains in the right color? Bright curtains are especially good in the cold and rainy season - they create the illusion of a warm sunny day and cheer you up.
Note that in 2019-2020, curtains for the hall in the color of aquamarine, noble emerald green, exotic color of the tropical jungle will be especially popular (and the corresponding prints should also not be ignored).
3. Curtains for the hall 2019-2020: natural materials
In this case, we are talking about vertical and horizontal blinds made of wood and roller blinds made of bamboo, which have been on the list of the most current “window” trends for several years in a row. Wooden and bamboo blinds are not only reliable protection from the sun, but also complete environmental friendliness, natural colors and a memorable style for your home.
Note that roller blinds that close from the bottom up are gaining popularity. This version of the roller blind is one of the most beneficial and convenient for people living on the ground floor (curtains can be raised to a certain height to block the view from the street, but at the same time, the upper part of the window remains open and enough sunlight enters the room ), and for those who want to hide their indoor plants from direct sunlight.
In order to choose the perfect curtains for the hall 2016-2016, you need to consider the following nuances:
- the footage of the room and the height of the ceilings;
- number and shape of windows;
- stylistic interior design;
- interior color palette
- color, texture and other characteristics of furniture upholstery;
- color, texture and prints (if any) of wallpaper or wall coverings;
Note that the use of such rather bulky and immediately conspicuous decorative elements in the hall is permissible only if you have a spacious room with high ceilings. Otherwise, you risk making the room visually even more cramped, and the ceilings even lower.
Roller blinds made of cotton and linen are the perfect solution for a modern interior, which can be used both in combination with classic curtains and separately, depending on the stylistic interior solutions you choose.
Roller blinds for the hall 2019-2020 look beautiful and modern from a thin translucent material with a print. Such curtains are ideally combined with heavy plain curtains.
Roman blinds also fit perfectly into the interior of the hall, allowing you to create a spectacular, classic design.
If you choose textile blinds for the hall, pay attention to vertical blinds - this option will ideally fit into the strict interior of the living room. Note that this option is especially good for small rooms with low ceilings: laconic vertical blinds will provide your room with perfect lighting and allow you to visually increase its footage and make the ceilings visually higher.
However, horizontal textile blinds can also be used in the interior of the hall. But in this case, give preference to light shades.
Curtains for the 2019-2020 hall look very modern and stylish on grommets or rings. This is a very practical and convenient trend, which was appreciated by many housewives:
