New types of curtains and their design
Types of modern lifting curtains. The most common types of new curtains are:
Roller blinds are flatcanvas, which can be assembled with a roller, in whole or in part, at the required level. They are universal, at the same time they are very convenient, they are almost invisible in the assembled form, and deployed, they can create complete darkness in the room. It all depends on what material to choose. He can either completely skip the sunlight or give scattered light. Roman blinds can also be assembled using special cords drawn along the entire length of the curtains through symmetrically located holes, and adjust the room's lighting. Thanks to such a design, not an even web is formed, but folds, completely or partially, just below. These curtains look very unusual, although they were invented a long time ago. They give the room a solemn and austere look, are very easy to attach and are able to disguise the defects of the room. However, they do not provide much choice in the coloring, since the figure is deformed during assembly. You can choose any fabric by texture, but the coloring is either monophonic or very discreet. 
Thread curtains perfectly pass light, but requirecareful care. Japanese curtains, or panel, as they are also called, are practically sliding cloth screens resembling vertical blinds, but with wider panels. They move along the cornice and are made not only from fabric, but also from bamboo, for example. Japanese curtains are easy to use and maintain. Usually the material is subjected to additional processing, and the vacuuming of the products is not required more than once every 3 months. Japanese curtains can serve not only as decoration of the room, but also as a way of zoning, they can also be used as interior partitions. They are almost universal, although they look exotic, but at the same time simple and modern, do not overload the room, drawing and coloring can choose any. Filament curtains only recently began to gain popularity, although a variety of their types have been used for a long time, but mostly in auxiliary rooms. They are also called muslin, because they consist of a multitude of falling threads. It's not hard to guess that the birthplace of this decoration is the East, such curtains protect from light, but do not interfere with the penetration of fresh air. The design of curtains made of threads, you can choose the most diverse, experimenting with length and color. Very smoothly look smooth transitions from light to saturated hue. Uniform, strict muslin curtains of light colors will suit even for a room in high-tech style. One can not help noticing certain difficulties in the care of such products: they need to be washed often enough, especially if the curtains are light, there is no allowance here, since this will spoil the whole aesthetic effect.
