Fashion for curtains is almost as changeable as for clothes. Every year there are interesting novelties and non-trivial design solutions: unusual color combinations, new types of fabric, interesting accessories. In order not to drown in this information flow, let's try to figure out which curtains for the hall are the most fashionable this year.

Fashion trends and novelties

If you want your windows to look trendy, curtains for them will have to be chosen in accordance with the latest fashion trends.

- decorative braid with threads sewn to it, pompons, tassels, beads, glass beads. Previously, it was used mainly in classic and oriental interiors, but this season it is used in most famous styles. For example, a fringe with metallic inclusions looks great in high-tech style, trimmed with country-style lace, shells and imitation pearls in a marine interior.

Tassels, as well as fringe this season, it is allowed to decorate almost all types of curtains. Small tassels can be sewn even on the bottom of shortened models of Japanese fabric panels, although it is traditionally believed that “Japanese women” do not tolerate excesses.

Tiebacks are the most used curtain accessory. With their help, it is convenient to keep the curtains open and beautifully draped. There are a lot of types of tiebacks: magnetic clips, cords with tassels, curtain hairpins. It is impossible to list everything. 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 decorates halls made in classical 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 is suitable for a Scandinavian or Mediterranean interior, white curtains and black tulle for a high-tech interior, checkered curtains and tulle trimmed with lace for a 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 any, then you can easily choose the right 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 in a special studio unique curtains, according to your photo.

With photo printing, it does not need partner curtains and additional decorations. It serves as a 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 of finished products with such a mount on sale, 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 are not inferior in quality to metal fasteners and, unlike it, do not make noise while sliding along the eaves and do not oxidize when washed. In addition, plastic rings are available in different colors. Therefore, their decorative properties are higher.

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 a large number of varieties of this decorative element have appeared.

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.

Thanks to the fact that, like everyone else lifting curtains, 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 latest trends curtain fashion - the use of absolutely diverse, but sewn from the same fabric, curtains on one window. 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 the modern interior of the 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. AT last case it performs the function of a 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 classics, hi-tech, loft, eclecticism, of course, Japanese, or in a neutral but minimalist interior, feel free to choose Japanese screen panels for decorating windows.

Speaking about Japanese curtains, 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.

In fact, creating real Japanese panels is 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.

But if everything works out as it should, the result will exceed your expectations. With Japanese panels, even the most ordinary interior will be transformed and look fashionable and stylish.

The photo shows an example of how to successfully combine Japanese panels from two types of fabric.

Today you can choose any fabric for Japanese curtains: dense and transparent, plain and color, and even with photo printing. But since we're talking about fashion trends current year, it is better to choose the texture and color of fabrics based on the recommendations listed above.

Modern curtains carry a serious functional load, but at the same time they are the same full-fledged decorative element in the interior as an interesting picture or a stylish vase.

Therefore, when choosing the right model, it is necessary to take into account not only its practical value, but also fashion trends season.

The kitchen is the very room in which you have to spend a sufficient amount of time every day, so it is the kitchen that is a kind of “symbol hearth". Properly selected curtains are extremely important for this room. Lush curtains in small kitchens will look too cumbersome, they obviously have a place somewhere in the living room, but at the same time, awkwardly weighing blinds will give off cold and boredom. In this situation, it is most acceptable to use curtains light colors from monophonic materials. It is important that there is always light in the kitchen.

It is also worth considering the functional load on the curtains. They should be well washed, let in light, not fade under the influence of sunlight and, most importantly, be resistant to different temperatures, because sometimes the kitchen turns into a real "steam room". Many designers suggest using the following options:

Photo design curtains for the living room and hall

The choice of window "clothes" for the living room is very large. The simplest task becomes a huge problem. A variety of models of curtains and tulles can give the room comfort and hospitality.

It is worth highlighting the main types that are often used in the interior:

I. Classic.

II. English.

III. Austrian.

IV. French.

VII. Japanese.

Often they are used for any premises with limited space.

This is really a saving option for an already cramped room. Due to the snug fit to the window, they will not take up much-needed space and fit perfectly into the modern and minimalist style.

The leader among minimalism is the Japanese curtain design of 2017. Thanks to the system fixed on the eaves, the canvases move freely, like doors in a closet.

Due to the lack of folds, they can become a whole art object. A large pattern or drawing will draw the attention of your guests for a long time.

The best curtain design that will never go out of style. These are long, wide canvases, with many decorative folds and descending to the floor.

They look great both folded and unfolded. This is a truly sophisticated style that will fill the living room with noble classics and give it aristocracy.

Bedroom

Curtains for the bedroom should be light and devoid of brightness. Bright colors do not contribute to peace. They are distracting and not conducive good sleep. It is more appropriate to use catchy sleeping colors. However, translucent curtains will also not work. They must protect from sun rays and other troubles that interfere with restful sleep. Blackout curtains in classic strength are perfect.

The choice of curtains is also determined by the style orientation, but you should not focus only on what is fashionable, because the most important thing here is functionality.

Fashionable curtains
