The curtains for the living room are particularly important for the interior as they have a dramatic effect and enhance the interior design. Before you choose the curtains, you should consider a few important factors. First, think about how big your windows are and take a close look at whether the curtains you want fit in with the interior design. If you have a limited budget, you can put together the curtain design yourself. If you prefer a particular fabric, consider whether the material is appropriate for curtains and how it will drape. It's always good to choose a pattern first to make sure the colors and fabric match the design and decor.
When considering which variants to choose, consider function as the very first factor. The purpose of the curtains is particularly important when making this decision. Do you want the curtains to provide more private space, or do you just need them as decoration? The other significant element is the material. If you want the curtains to stand out as a decorative element, choose a fabric with bright colors and impressive patterns. But if you prefer a simpler design, hang curtains made of sheer fabric with neutral colors. It is particularly important to know the exact dimensions of the windows.
If you want to draw attention to your windows, choose curtains in striking colors, for example with a striped pattern. The raw silk goes well with light colors and gives the curtain design a certain elegance. The plaid pattern and stripes match the living room with traditional furnishings and classic design. If you are looking for more style and elegance, choose a model made of transparent fabric. In most cases, these curtains can be found in light and neutral shades. They always look elegant and delicate and create a romantic ambience. It is often necessary to combine the transparent curtains with those made of a dense fabric or with blinds, as they cannot ensure enough private space.
If you have small windows, roller blinds are also a very practical solution. They fit the window shape exactly and do not hide the decorative details and interesting elements next to the window. During the day the blinds can be folded and they look just as elegant and stylish. If you want to achieve a dramatic effect, choose models that extend from ceiling to floor. This will make the room look higher and the curtains will look massive and impressive. During the day you can tie them to the side with decorative tiebacks.
Slightly transparent curtains have a more decorative effect, so they provide less protection from sunlight and daylight in general, but can still protect from view to a certain extent. They frame the window wonderfully and create a more homely atmosphere. If the room is surrounded by an opaque garden and is not used for sleeping, where darkness is desired, these types of fabrics are completely sufficient. The living room is one such room.
If you can't decide or would like to create a particularly interesting effect, simply combine several curtain designs with each other. Two models are not uncommon, but with three pieces you create a real eye-catcher. You can either hang the three curtains all together on one side and leave the other side free, or you can hang three of them on each side of the window. This is purely a matter of taste. The idea is particularly suitable for wider windows.
These modern fabric panels are a great alternative to classic curtains. They hang straight down from the ceiling and can be moved using tracks. In this way they can be opened and closed again at will, can overlap completely or only partially and can be hung anywhere on the window. This is particularly advantageous when the sun is still very low and shines strongly into the room from the end of autumn to the beginning of spring. With the fabric panels you can always shield the desired area without completely losing any light.
A dense fabric is not only elegant, but also very advantageous if you want to successfully darken the room, but blinds and the like are too modern or simple for you. So if you live in a one-room apartment where the living room is also a bedroom, this type of curtains can come in handy and decorate the room at the same time. Also match the color of the heavy fabric to the rest of the furnishings. It doesn't necessarily have to be dark either. Even light-colored fabrics can be very opaque due to their thickness.
Use the fabrics to underline your interior style. For example, if you have furnished in a modern and minimalist style, you can use gray or other neutral colors. For an exotic style, the fabrics can be decorated with patterns such as tropical plant leaves, while for a maritime interior, colors such as blue, white, beige and coral and striped patterns are very suitable. So use this home accessory to give your interior the finishing touches.
For a particularly feminine interior, you can choose curtains that are made of matching colors and also have a playful design. Alsoare for girls' roomsSuch variants are wonderfully suitable. Other matching decorations and carpets create a beautiful and harmonious interaction.
The fabrics are also often combined with blinds. This is a good idea if the curtains are only intended to serve as decoration, but at the same time you want privacy and sun protection. If the blinds are not needed, you can simply pull them together and enjoy the free window with the curtains. By the way, curtain fabrics do not have to be hung on both sides of the window as usual. Even on just one side an attractive effect is created.
The materials for the windows no longer just have a useful purpose. They contribute to a large extent to the homely atmosphere, have decorative properties and create interesting highlights with their patterns and colors. They can even take on the role of wall decoration, as this model proves. The interesting patterns are particularly eye-catching and adorn walls and windows alike. So banish the sterile look of the room with fabrics!
