How to choose curtains for your interior

So, before us the task is to make "beautiful". In the sense, pick up curtains to your already finished interior. How? Now tell!

A little bit about the styles in the interior and their features

There are a lot of styles, and if you are not a professional designer, this can embarrass you. However, they can all be divided into three groups - classical, modern, ethnic. It's a little easier, right? And now let's see what is characteristic of them.

• Classical. Here we include Roman, Greek, Romanesque styles, classicism, baroque, renaissance, rococo, gothic, empire, etc. They all have strict symmetry, a clear and maximally logical division of space, not drawing attention to themselves, color solutions, an abundance of light sources And luxury.

Classic interiors are always associated with luxury

• Modern. This group includes art deco, kontemporari and hi-tech, minimalism, modernism and postmodernism, shebbi-chic, country, eco-style and others. Yes, they are all different, but similar in that all are opposed to the classics. These are not intricate convex reliefs, but homogeneous surfaces, not patterned prints, and neutral drawings or their absence, a minimum of accessories against the abundance of figurines, paintings and other ornaments of classical interiors. In modern styles, the tone is set by simple geometric shapes, angles, lines and planes, neutral colors that allow you to concentrate on these shapes, and bright accents can be pieces of furniture, lacquered surfaces, chrome or steel accessories and other details.

Bright textiles can also set the tone for the whole interior

• Ethnic. These are such styles of interior decoration as Japanese, Egyptian, Chinese, Indian, African. Their goal is to convey the atmosphere of an exotic country to a single room by recreating the traditional entourage in it. Accordingly, in this interior decorative elements are used that convey the spirit and color of these countries, reflecting their traditions and culture.

And now, when we sorted out the basic characteristics of styles, let's return to the question of how to choose curtains and their color for the interior of your house or apartment.

Color, space and color therapy

Have you ever noticed that there are rooms that go into and just want to sit in a chair with a cup of fragrant tea and an interesting book? Or rooms in which you are literally filled with energy? Or those in which you instantly become cold, even if it's warm outside? This effect is not the least due to the color gamut. So, for example, yellow gives the interior a feeling of lightness and vigor, blue - depth and spaciousness, blue pulls all attention to itself, while it is cold, reserved and even a little dreary. Dark red color can cause anxiety, pink - a romantic mood, and beige shades - calm.

Naturally, the curtains should be in harmony with the rest of the interior and the elements of the furnishings, giving the room a finished look.

Fabrics

Now, when we have already reached the finish line, we can only decide on the cloth. And here again we will return to the division into styles.

• Classic interiors . Curtains and curtains for such premises are made of heavy fabrics, capable of beautifully folding and draping - velvet, corduroy, jacquards. On their background, carved furniture, luxurious furniture and bas-reliefs will look especially refined.

• Modern interiors. The refined elegance of minimalism, the restraint of high-tech, the irony of postmodernism are well emphasized by laconic curtains from any quality fabrics - natural or synthetic, with a pronounced texture or smooth, monochrome or with geometric patterns.

Modern styles allow you to experiment with fabrics for curtains, but not by their shape

• Ethnic interiors. Japanese or Chinese style perfectly fit Japanese curtains, an African underlined curtains with prints that mimic animal skins or depict hunting scenes. The Indian style is bright and shiny fabrics. Embroidery, beads and fluffy brushes are welcome.
