Original curtains for your home
We offer eight ways to decorate windows with fabric. And the neighbors will not just stop peering into your windows – they will not be able to take their eyes off them. Because it would be sacrilege not to consider such curtains.

Now the furniture has become plastic, the walls are bare, the carpets are on the verge of extinction. Perhaps only the curtains remained from the past abundance.

Original curtains
This window design cannot be called modern. But it looks perfect in a romantic bedroom, where everything can be a little old-fashioned. In the end, the association with a noble estate of the last century will definitely not hurt this room. closes the cornice – another plus: you don’t have to think about how the technical device will look like in its essence. The curtains fall in soft folds. If it seems that this is not enough, you can decorate the lambrequin with applique.
Perhaps one of the reasons why this window design option is used quite rarely is the fear of not coping with fixing the lambrequin to the cornice. In fact, everything is simple. The curtains hang on a string, and a Velcro tape is attached to the rim of the cornice and the edge of the lambrequin. The lambrequin is easy to install and easy to remove to clean. For those who once lived in noble estates, it was more difficult
You can’t ruin a bedroom with textiles. It will be even better if you cover not only the window with curtains, but also the wall. In this case, the window is not a color or light accent, but rather is perceived as a continuation of the interior. Let the color scheme of the curtains correspond to the general design of the bedroom. The purpose of these curtains is to dim the sunlight, not exclude it entirely. But you can play with textures. There should be at least two of them, but it’s good if there are more.
For drywall special rails are hidden – each curtain has its own, so the canvases move independently of each other. The rails include a slider to which the edge of the curtain is attached using the same Velcro tape
Terracotta walls, a palm tree in a tub, wicker furniture – by simple means, the atmosphere of a southern (perhaps Italian) house was created. And of course, it was not without … They use less matter than ordinary curtains, but in a practical sense they are convenient: when you lift them up, the same amount of sunlight enters the room as if the window had not been curtained at all. Roman blinds are sewn from dense, usually natural fabrics – cotton and linen.
Roman shades are usually hung from a cornice with special lifting blocks. The rotation of the blocks pulls the tape or cord through the rings, causing the fabric to lift up in even horizontal folds
This option is good for a small window. Such curtains are easy to make with your own hands, if you follow some simple rules. You can use fabrics that are not the same in color and transparency, but always close in composition. After all, synthetics and natural materials differ in the degree of shrinkage during … The curtain consists of three different pieces of fabric. In the upper and lower parts, the fabric can be denser, but in the middle it is better to place a lighter and transparent insert.

Half window curtains are the perfect solution for the kitchen. Once upon a time, our grandmothers decorated windows in a similar way, and pleasant memories are a good help in creating coziness. The curtains can be matched to the color of the tile or wallpaper, and it is better to fix it at the level of the curb – this way it will be easier for short canvases to fit into the interior. This option is not only beautiful, but also practical: the cornice is held on by magnetic fasteners, which means that the curtains are easy to remove and wash.

The new is the well-forgotten old. It was this saying that the decorators were guided by when they came up with fabric shutter curtains. The solution is interesting and unexpected, and also economical from the point of view of the use of materials. Ideal for balcony doors or … It is better to take a fabric that is dense enough (in this case, a fabric resembling a waffle towel was used). And the brackets can be either metal or wooden.

This option is simple, but effective: the sand-colored fabric is trimmed with a spotted border. The theme should be supported by the textile decoration of the room. Pillows of the same color and an exotic carpet with a pattern “a la cave painting” will be a great addition to such curtains. Furniture and lamp base are tinted to match .
Pay attention to the cornice. The knob ball is the same spotty as the border on the curtains. At the same time, the cornice itself imitates an exotic tree – also “in the theme”. If you do not find a cornice of a suitable color, you can tint any wood, for example, pine
Curtains play not only a protective, but also a decorative role in the interior. They can be used on their own or, as in this version, beautifully border the blinds. The fabric is suspended on a thin string and sways with every breath of the breeze. The blinds are rigidly fixed to the ceiling above the windows. There are advantages to this solution.
