When choosing curtains for the living room, you need to pay attentionpay attention to fabric. Today, manufacturers offer a wide range of textiles, they can be both expensive and relatively cheap, can have a pattern or not, be transparent or not - the choice will entirely depend on the overall style of the living room, the personal preferences of the owner of the house. But at the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to some parameters. It is imperative to choose the right color of the canvas. Everything depends on the overall color scheme of the living room. Curtains should be selected in such a way that they match the upholstery of the furniture, the color scheme of the walls and floor. Draperies should not merge with the wall decoration, but the upholstery textile of chairs, sofas, armchairs should be in harmony with the fabric of the curtains. You do not need to use the same fabric, but its color, pattern should be a continuation of each other. In this case, it will be possible to make the environment more expressive and bright. For example, if the walls are light in color, then the fabric for curtains and furniture can be dark, intense and saturated shades. You can use a pattern or patterns of light tones, but not repeating with the shade of the walls. As a result, the room will be made more clearly defined, spacious. The presence of a pattern on the fabric is also important. The design of the curtains only looks more presentable. If there is a pattern on the upholstery and walls, it is bright in color, then it is better to take the fabric for the curtains from smooth textiles that do not have any patterns. If a simple and discreet pattern is used for interior design or there is none, then the fabrics can be bright and spectacular, with various patterns, including voluminous ones. These are the curtains that become the central element of the interior, attracting attention. The color of the drapery should be combined with other elements of the room.

Equilateral swag pattern.Attention should be paid to satin and silk curtains for window openings. The difficulty is that the window must not only be covered with fabric, but also create a beautiful drapery. Such types of fabrics are capricious, they are difficult to gather into folds if there is no certain experience. You can do without folds, but ordinary straight pieces of fabric do not look so good. They are boring, do not show themselves in any way. The way out is to gather them not only into folds, but also into beautiful festoons. Sewing curtains with your own hands from this fabric is difficult. If you do not have the appropriate experience, then it is better to start not with capricious silk, but with a more pliable fabric. Modern curtain design cannot do without additional accessories. Craftswomen use beads, sequins, fringe. But you should take into account what color, texture the fabric has, whether the decoration will match the rest of the decor.

It is not recommended to use sequins and beads for a strict interior, but they are ideal for a bright and playful one.
