Curtains: classic and modern

Curtains are still the most popular window decoration option. Light and airy or dense and heavy, they have been decorating our windows for hundreds of years. The choice of curtains should be approached thoroughly, because the general impression of the interior of your home depends on it. There are a few rules that are worth taking note of to make it easier to choose from the countless options. So, planning to buy curtainsb take into account the following points:

- which side of the world the windows face (the design of the windows facing north or south should not be the same)

- the style of the room (classic curtains with heavy draperies will look completely out of place if the furniture in your living room is in high-tech style)

- the shape and dimensions of the room

- size and design features of windows

- what fabrics are used in the design of this room.

If the windows face north, then the curtains should not be thick and heavy, in this case the room will be too dark. On the contrary, if the windows face the sunny side, they should be protected from direct sunlight, the curtains on the southern windows can be much denser.

Each style in the design of the room requires an appropriate window decor. Richly decorated Baroque furniture will require heavy velvet curtains with draperies and tassels, modern high-tech furniture perfectly combines with laconic shutters and blinds, jacquard and organza curtains decorated with floral ornaments will suit the light and joyful style of French Provence.

In a small room, large and heavy curtains will visually reduce the size of the room, such decor is better left for large rooms and window openings.

Of course, the color of the curtains should be in harmony with the textile design of the entire interior, colors and textures do not have to be the same, but harmoniously complement each other.
