If enough light enters the room, then you can use massive curtains or curtains made of coarse material. If the room is small and dark, then you should forget about thick curtains.

In order for the artificial light given by the lamps to spread as well as possible throughout the hall, it is necessary to select curtains with a combination of dark and light shades. Multi-layered curtains look interesting. The first layer is tulle, a light, transparent, flowing fabric, and the second is a dense canvas. This decor option is appropriate if there are no blinds on the windows, but you need to regulate the degree of lighting in the hall. Sometimes, instead of tulle, you can use blinds, but they should fit harmoniously into the interior, otherwise the ceremonial hall may be overshadowed by an office stain. An equally important stage of window decoration is the selection of a cornice on which the curtains will be attached. If they are multi-layered, then you should not focus on the cornice. It should not attract attention. But if the curtain is asymmetrical, then it is best to use a bright cornice, which will emphasize the originality of the material and cut.

Dark wood frames, processed in such a way that the effect of antiquity is created, are able to favorably emphasize all design solutions. It is worth paying tribute to this, because no plastic can repeat this effect. You can complement the elegant texture of the frame with flower beds. Laconic French balconies will please the eye of even the most demanding and capricious guest. Whatever the frame, whether flower beds are built into it or not, the main thing is that everything is practical. There is no point in building flowerpots if no one plans to take care of the flowers. If the structure will only collect dust, then its need is zero. Another option for decorating a window opening is stucco trim. Previously, plaster, concrete or wood were used for stucco. Now you can make intricate designs from polyurethane. This is an excellent alternative to bulky relics. Return to contents</a>
