Magic of the East: Window Textiles in an Exotic Interior

The Eastern style in interior design is a mesmerising play of colours, patterns, and textures that transports us to the atmosphere of Eastern palaces and caravanserais. It combines luxury, mystery, and a special philosophy of space. Although Eastern motifs are traditionally associated with carved wooden frames, modern plastic windows fit perfectly into this style — as long as the textile оформление is chosen wisely. Their smooth surface and clean lines create an ideal backdrop against which vibrant and intricate textile patterns look especially striking.

In Eastern‑style textile decor, colour and pattern are key. Opt for fabrics in rich shades: pomegranate red, turquoise, gold, purple, and deep blue. Velvet, silk, brocade, and satin — materials with a noble sheen and rich texture — work particularly well. Patterns should be recognisable and expressive: paisley (the “Indian cucumber”), arabesques, geometric motifs, and floral ornaments with an Eastern flair.

Curtains in the Eastern style are often layered: a combination of heavy drapes with sheer voile or chiffon creates a special ambience. Length can vary — from shortened versions to floor‑length, with draperies and gatherings. Designs with tiebacks in the form of cords with tassels, metal rings, or decorative hooks look particularly impressive. Lambrequins of complex shapes, fringes, and embroidered trim further accentuate the Eastern flair.

For plastic windows, curtain rods with Eastern motifs work well — carved, gilded, or featuring ethnic patterns. They conceal the modern look of the frame and enhance the stylistic effect.

Avoid minimalist solutions and overly simple fabrics — they disrupt the magic of the Eastern look. Instead, focus on vibrancy, shine, an abundance of details, and intricate draping.

Properly chosen textiles will transform a plastic window into a portal to a сказочного Eastern palace. With their help, you can create an atmosphere of coziness, mystery, and luxury in your home — qualities inherent to authentic Eastern interiors.
