Figure 4.In a room in the Art Nouveau style, different patterns can be combined, while the main tone of the wallpaper and curtains should match, and the room textiles should have the same pattern and color as the curtains. Palace styles (baroque, rococo, empire, classicism, etc.) are characterized by grandeur and pomp. The walls and window openings are decorated with expensive materials of noble tones. Usually, the walls are covered with silk-screen printing with an intricate pattern or plain wallpaper in golden shades. In the first case, satin or silk without a pattern and exactly in tone with the main color of the wallpaper are selected for the curtains. Lush drapery of the curtains will give the room a special royal flavor. In the second case, brocade or jacquard with a printed pattern is perfect. High-tech and techno styles cannot be imagined without chrome details and the shine of metal. Practicality and coldness are everywhere. Metallic smooth curtains without a pattern or roller blinds - this is what you need! In this style, it is necessary to maintain the clarity of lines to mathematical precision. No floral prints. Everything is functional and laconic. Roman blinds are good in the Provence and country styles. If the walls are covered with plain wallpaper, then for curtains you can safely choose bright fabrics (chintz, cotton, linen) with a floral pattern. For walls with a pronounced pattern, plain curtains of a similar shade are suitable.
