After you have analyzed the design of your room, decide what is the main task of your curtains, to maintain the main tone or to make a new bright accent? A compromise option is considered optimal: the most successful curtains in the halls should refresh the space, expand it, introducing pleasant color elements and not violating the overall harmony of the room.

Take for example the most common room decoration option: brown classic furniture and wallpaper in pastel colors, most often with a vertical ornament. Curtains in this case should carry some coolness and airiness, so a light green or cool yellowish shade will do, which will create the atmosphere of a summer sunny day. If there are more than modern furniture in light colors, curtains can be an unexpected brighter color - orange, rich green - but in this case it is necessary to complement the interior with pillows in the same range that is used in the curtains.

The fabric from which the curtain will be sewn is very important. The texture or, in other words, the material from which the curtains will be created with your own hands, to a greater extent depends on the functional load of this element of the interior. If the task is to completely rid the room of prying eyes street passers-by, then the fabric should be dense, perhaps even tapestry. If the curtains will perform a purely decorative function, you can choose any fabric that matches the tone and color.

For example, in English interiors often three materials are used - two basic and one decorative. However, keep in mind that the more various canvases you take, the more carefully you need to think through the design, because multi-color solutions are the most difficult for independent work.

In addition, the choice of model for curtains in the hall is influenced by texture and color. With a rich monochromatic main fabric, it is better to use a simple style, since the fabric itself will already decorate the room. With a more restrained color, you should choose a more sophisticated model. Folds curtains are very diversified - large and small, along the entire length or in some details. Also popular decorative elements of curtains are lambrequins, lapels, ties and ties. The curtain is also decorated with pinned bows or your favorite decorative elements that can be easily changed. Thus, you can give the hall a completely different look.

After all the preliminary decisions have been made, you need to draw a sketch of your future curtains, prepare a pattern. It is this drawing that will allow you to correctly calculate how much fabric you need to make curtains with your own hands. The calculation is as follows: measure the distance from the hooks of the eaves to the floor and add 2 cm. 2 cm of fabric will be spent on processing the edges, and thus the curtains will not reach the floor a little. If you prefer a more refined and intricate finish on the bottom edge, add another 10 cm. The width of the material is equal to the width of the cornice multiplied by a factor of 1.2. Larger coefficient allows you to make deeper folds. Do not forget that dense, heavy fabrics with an abundance of folds look bulky and ugly.

8. Curtain tape.


9. Decor elements.

2. Do not neglect the patterns - they greatly facilitate the process.


3. Do not be lazy and carefully process all the edges of the fabric. A sloppy edge can spoil the whole impression of the most sophisticated curtains.


4. Curtains should be washed at least once every three months. Thin curtains made of natural fabrics can only be washed by hand.


5. The material must be ironed before and after work. Otherwise, the view ready-made curtains will be unrepresentative.

In addition, they can be easily made independently from any materials at hand: beads, braid, lace, ribbons, belts, ropes, and also sewn from the same fabric as the curtains.

This year, to decorate the hall, designers advise us to adopt six main types of window curtains. All of them are diverse, and have characteristic advantages that make each model a priority for a particular interior. Let's take a closer look at them.

Draperies and tulle

Curtains and tulle never went out of fashion. The exception is a short period of history, when all the usual ideas about the world order were destroyed and many useful beautiful things began to be considered philistine.

Today, the traditional combination of dense long curtains of saturated colors and snow-white or matching tulle most often decorate rooms made in a classic style.

But since variability is in fashion, suitable curtains and tulle can be chosen for other interiors. A set of curtains in the color of baked milk will suit the Scandinavian or mediterranean interior, white curtains and black tulle to the high-tech interior, checkered curtains and tulle trimmed with lace to the country interior.

The main methods for decorating window openings with such curtains, offered by designers today, are as follows. Tulle serves as a backdrop for curtains. His task is to emphasize their beauty. In this case, the curtains are sewn from fabric of a rich color, and faded pastel shades are chosen for tulle, it is possible with a woven pattern of the same color or unobtrusive embroidery.

Tulle is the main decorative element of the tandem. In this case, the colors for the curtains are chosen exactly the opposite: the curtains become invisible, and the transparent curtains are sewn from a beautiful, bright fabric and complemented by colored lace or a large pattern.

If there is no need to create complete blackout, only a tulle curtain can be hung on the window. It is generously decorated with swags, folds, draperies. Lambrequins are installed on the cornice from the same fabric or material of the same color, but with a different shade.

The tulle is hung over the curtains. If the color of the curtains is dark and saturated, and the tulle is colorless, it will muffle its richness and add mystery to the interior. If you choose light curtains and dark tulle, the curtains will look more voluminous and give the impression of a depth of space outside the window.

An excellent design option for curtains for the hall would be "colorblock". To sew such curtains, you just need to connect the fabric of two colors together and you will get very stylish curtains. Since the choice colors can be absolutely anyone, then you can easily pick up desired colors that will be in harmony with the interior of the hall.

An interesting option can also be decor in the form of contrasting stripes that are simply sewn onto curtains. With this technique, you can revive any plain curtains.

Today's trendy photo printing deserves special attention. Transparent tulle made of smooth chiffon, organza or veil, as if specially created for applying any images to it.

There is a wide selection of photo curtains on sale, but you can always order unique curtains in a special studio, according to your photo.

With photo printing, it does not need partner curtains and additional decorations. She serves bright accent in the interior, attracts attention and sets the tone for the whole environment.

If we talk about fastening curtains to the cornice, then the most popular today is eyelets. They are rings made of metal, plastic or wood, which frame holes in the upper part of the curtains.

Eyelets are strung on a round or string cornice and thanks to them, the curtains are assembled into even, vertically falling folds.

Eyelets on curtains and curtains look very neat and stylish. There is a wide range for sale finished products with such a mount, but you can install it yourself.

Since a special punch is required to install metal rings, only plastic eyelets can be placed on curtains at home. They don't compromise on quality. metal fasteners and, unlike it, they do not make noise while sliding along the eaves and do not oxidize during washing. In addition, plastic rings are available different colors. Therefore, their decorative properties above.

Curtains with lambrequin

Initially, the pelmet was a soft, fluffy horizontal drapery, hung along the entire cornice. It was decorated with fringes or frills and made from the same fabric as the main curtains. And they were used mainly in combination with long curtains.

Today, the idea of ​​​​what a lambrequin should be has expanded and appeared a large number of varieties of this decorative element.

It is now allowed to combine even Roman curtains and Austrian curtains with lambrequins, despite the fact that when assembled they themselves resemble lambrequins. But still, no one has canceled the classics yet, and the combination of curtains - curtains - lambrequin is still considered the most advantageous.

Almost more than the varieties of curtains, but still among them there are several main types:

The lambrequin decorated with fringe looks beautiful.

Roman

Roman blinds are one of the most popular types of roller blinds this season. When assembled, they are assembled into even horizontal folds like an accordion.

Since the shape of such curtains is quite strict, they try not to decorate them with anything, and the rich color of the fabric gives them a decorative effect.

Roman blinds are considered universal, suitable for most interiors.

They are easy to combine with curtains or curtains.

Due to the fact that, like all roller blinds, they do not “eat up” space and do not take up much space, they can be used in rooms of any size.

Variegated and bright colors are not suitable for Roman blinds, but natural, deep matte colors that are fashionable today are ideal for them.

One of the latest trends in curtain fashion is the use of absolutely diverse curtains on one window, but sewn from the same fabric. You can bring this idea to life by hanging together Roman blinds and classic curtains, for example, from dense linen in walnut or grass color.

The photo shows Roman blinds made of jute, which look great in modern interior hall. They also go well with classic curtains.

This year, everything natural and natural is fashionable, designers recommend taking a closer look at Roman blinds made of jute and bamboo. In this design, they will be in perfect harmony with the “natural” interior styles that are also very fashionable today: ethnic, colonial, Japanese, African.

Austrian

Austrian curtains are another type of lifting window curtains. They combine the elegance of French and the severity of Roman curtains. They are distinguished from the former by less lush folds and the presence of a lifting mechanism, and from the latter by smooth lines.

These curtains look cute and sophisticated at the same time, while taking up very little space and fit well into small rooms. They are best suited for light and bright interiors such as shabby chic, provence, mediterranean.

Horizontal folds are laid on Austrian models not along the entire height, but only at the bottom of the canvas. They are used both in the gathered and loose state and are sometimes supplemented with a lambrequin and decorated with curtain decor: fringe, satin ribbons, bows, artificial flowers.

Classical Austrian curtains are made from fabrics of delicate colors, plain or with a small floral pattern. A large pattern is undesirable, as it will distort in the folds, and the curtains will look untidy. But this season, small print is not welcome, so for the "Austrian" there is only a single-color option.

Kisei

In the East, kisei (rope curtains), made not from fabric, but from scattered mixed or completely synthetic twisted threads, have been used for more than one hundred years, but we have appeared recently. On the windows, such curtains look like a filament waterfall, falling evenly to the floor.

At first glance, it may seem that such curtains do not protect well from the sun. In fact, their light-shielding properties are higher than those of solid transparent materials and they are quite capable of creating comfortable shading in the room on a bright sunny day.

The photo shows an example of how to successfully combine muslin and Roman curtains.

In addition, muslin does not interfere with the passage of air currents and in hot weather it is difficult to find an equivalent alternative for it.

The photo shows an example of a combination of muslin and classic curtains in the interior of the hall.

The first type is thin woven threads, the ends of which are free, and the bases are intertwined. Depending on the type of material, such a muslin happens:

• Simple - made from ordinary threads of different colors. It can be monophonic, two-tone or in the form of a rainbow.
• With the addition of metallic threads or lurex. This kisei looks luxurious and has a characteristic sheen.
• Noodles - curtains of braid thread.
• Chenille - kisei made of chenille yarn.

The second type of kisei - filament curtains made using gold and silver sequins, glass beads, colored and plain beads or other decor.

Kisei decorate window openings not only as the main curtains, but also in combination with other types of curtains. In the latter case, it performs the function of tulle. In addition, filament curtains are very convenient for zoning space.

They look great in classic European and Oriental interiors, but some of their varieties can be harmoniously combined with more avant-garde designs.

Black and white or metallic threads are suitable for high-tech style, dyed in all colors of the rainbow for pop art style, threads of natural wood shades for country or eco-style, decorated with transparent glass beads or small shells for a Mediterranean style.

Japanese

If your hall or living room is decorated in such styles as minimalism, modern classic, hi-tech, loft, eclectic, of course, Japanese, or in a neutral but minimalist interior, feel free to choose Japanese screen panels for decorating windows.

Speaking of Japanese curtains ah, very often I want to pronounce the definition of the most. The most functional, practical, economical, elegant, stylish. Many may add: “And the simplest!”, - and in fact they will be right. But this simplicity is only an appearance.

Actually create real japanese panels not so easy. In order for them to look good, their surface must be perfectly flat, stretched like a drum.

And in order for them to function correctly - smoothly slide along the windows, change places and rebuild in a different order, you need a multi-profile cornice and a special mount.
