Modern curtains and drapes give the apartment the finishing touch and beautify our windows. Elegant, colorful or unusual, these should be chosen to match the living ambience. Existing upholstered furniture, soft furnishings, carpets and floor coverings that do not need to be replaced should be taken into account in order to make the right choice.
Classically, two curtains are attached to the window - a thin lower one and one that ensures reasonable privacy or light protection. New light will be semi-transparentCurtains or curtainsMostly popular because they bring everything together and at the same time appear unobtrusively decorative.
Pastel colors are in trend today. Trendy in fashion, but also in interior design, the nuances such as mint green, soft pink, ice cream, powdery beige, cream and nude tones create a natural, unobtrusive, harmonious effect. Very popular as wall colors, these are mixed with light gray to create a complicated color palette and can be used in any area of the home. These calm tones influence perception and ensure a peaceful living atmosphere.
The pastel colors can be found in the home textiles. Carpets, upholstery and modern curtains create a cozy atmosphere. They serve as a gentle transition, a decorative element and at the same time provide a practical benefit. To support the natural effect of the interior design, interior designers use natural materials and fabrics.
Fabrics with a large percentage of natural fibers, such as wool, cotton, linen and silk, are the best choice and are properly protected when furnishing the room. Models made from linen fabric are very popular because of the excellent properties of linen. Linen has a natural shine and strength, is dirt-repellent and almost antistatic. It can absorb moisture without feeling damp and is also bactericidal, which is why it has long been highly valued in warm countries.
Linen, similar to silk, has the property of retaining temperature - having a cooling or warming effect. The disadvantage is that this fabric wrinkles easily and remains wrinkled at a higher temperature of 40 ° C. It is recommended to iron the linen fabric on the back when it is damp or to place a damp cloth on top.
Models made from a mix of linen and silk look really seductive. The silk is used as a color accent and contrasts with the natural beige color of the linen. Playful ornaments, stripes and patterns also contribute to the exotic flair.
“Capri” collection from Zepel Fabrics is associated with vacation, beach and summer. The blue and orange tones, ombre effects and plant motifs combined with the sand color of the linen are reminiscent of a modern Mediterranean ambience.
Variants with chic patterns were long considered old-fashioned. If you have floor-to-ceiling windows you probably don't want to close them, but the noise from the street can be a real reason for this. Tightly woven modern linen curtains absorb sound and are ideal for puristically designed rooms.
Dense materials compete with fine and permeable ones. You should find out on site which color and structure exactly suits your taste and actually suits the living space. Sample fabrics can be borrowed from specialist retailers, whether online or in the actual store. This way you can really compare and assess which material will be exactly the right one.
Floor-length curtains make the room appear larger and the ceiling appear higher. Half-length curtains are usually used in the kitchen, as full length curtains are not possible in this area due to the kitchen cabinets.
The curtain as a decorative element is subject to trends. Colors and materials change constantly and reinvent themselves. But some motifs and ornaments are considered timeless and classic. Diamonds, waves, stripes and any baroque patterns that are not too pompous are always good choices for elegant interiors.
The correct function of the curtain to protect against noise, unwanted visibility and excess light is not forgotten. In order to achieve this fully, it is recommended to choose fabrics with as high a percentage of natural fibers as possible.
The semi-transparent versions are often the best choice. With a subtle pattern, these give an individual touch and remain far from being over-pointed. Stripes are always in and, if no contrasting colors are used, they are suitable for every area - from the living room to the bedroom.
Linen fabric in its natural color represents a natural touch. It can be successfully combined with other natural materials. Linen and wood can be described as best friends and you would never go wrong with this combination.
The semi-transparent or translucent models made of linen fabric are ideal for use in the living room. Pastel colors that characterize lightness, such as the natural beige nuance of linen, appear inviting and harmonious, ideal for a retreat after a strenuous day at work.
