How to choose curtains for windows with access tohighway, why choose bright shades of curtains, why large ornament and contrasting shades will only benefit your psyche. About this and many other things - in our new material Curtains, without exaggeration, are one of the greatest creations of mankind. They help us to sleep comfortably, despite the white day outside the window, they hide our little secrets from our neighbors, they hide the world around us from our tired eyes when there is no more strength to contemplate it. And curtains can be extremely cool. Let's talk about this today.
1. Let the curtains impress more than the view behind them
Possessing such wealth as a gorgeous view fromwindows are a rare piece of luck. If you are not one of those lucky ones, devote a little more time and effort to choosing curtains. The window is always a pretty strong accent, and even if the landscape behind it is not pleasing, you can transfer the visual focus to the curtains. Choose the most intense shades from the rest of the interior palette and feel free to use them. Ekaterina Volkonskaya, designer: - If this is a country house, the view from the windows is beautiful, and there are no other buildings that interfere with the view, then quite often we do not decorate the windows with tulle, or we use very transparent tulle to bring the interior as close as possible to nature. And vice versa, if the object is located in the city and the windows overlook the neighboring Khrushchev or the highway, constantly clogged with cars, we try to hang as dense tulle as possible in order to “close” from stress as much as possible. When we zone the space (often it is necessary to separate the bedroom from the living area or separate sleeping places in the children's bedroom), then we usually use either neutral fabrics, in the color of the walls, repeating the texture of the finish, or wallpaper pattern. If we combine the fabric on the “partition” with curtains, and they are bright and with large ornaments, then the curtain is usually two-sided and consists of different fabrics. The part that is open to the eye along with the curtains decorating the window is the same, or of the same color, but with a pattern that differs in rapport (size), but which is completely repeated. decorhome.ru 
2. Ornament - everything!
At least for neutral interiors,long time did not know the dynamics and energy, curtains with large ornaments can only play by the hand. The key point in this option is to observe the correct proportions and geometry of the picture: it should be minimally related to the forms of interior items. 
3. Make room in the room
Zoning, in other words.If you are lucky enough to have spacious rooms, do not neglect the opportunity to expand their functionality. And instead of building barricades of furniture, separate areas with curtains. You will probably find this option the least labor-intensive, mobile and much more effective than a drywall partition. However, here you will have to brainwash and figure out several options. For example, what will the curtains look like on a sunny day? And during a draft? And will they match the rest of the textiles? 
4. Underline the dimensions of the windows
Here we are talking, of course, about largeFrench windows from floor to ceiling. It can be quite difficult to drape these in the right way. And the biggest mistake here will be to choose curtains to match the walls. To hide such beauty is criminal. Therefore, the choice of shade of curtains should be unambiguous - rich, contrasting, eye-catching. 
5. Make the tent
Not literally, of course.But perhaps you have a marvelous veranda, a summer kitchen, or even a balcony that lacks coziness. Blackout curtains to the floor will help transform even the most dull space. Ekaterina Volkonskaya, designer: - In home theaters, curtains are usually sealed with a special gasket that acts as noise insulation. Curtains give such a room a certain mystery, a state of "fairy tale", theatricality. Also, the fabrics perfectly zone the space on the street: it can be cozy tents made of bright or neutral dense fabrics, or light tulle, based on the customer's desire and functionality. Also, fabrics can be limited to any area: for example, terraces or barbecues. When fabrics are used in zoning space both indoors and outdoors and do not perform a purely decorative function, great attention should be paid to cornice systems, they should be very comfortable and functional, since these zones are the most walkable. Also on the street you can use only special fabrics (outdo). If you do not want to use bright fabrics with a riot of colors and patterns in curtains, you can use bright contrasting finishes (brushes, braid, fringe, cord), they will emphasize the "architecture" of your curtains. If your windows are on the sunny side, but you do not want to keep the curtains closed all the time, you can use roll curtains, blinds or pleated curtains, which have varying degrees of shading. Often we install these systems under tulle or on window frames, then when using them, they are almost invisible, but they perfectly fulfill their function without being conspicuous. decorhome.ru 
6. Try something new
You are afraid and not sure that you can take root ininterior with a rich palette, but have you been dreaming of trying it for a long time? New curtains are the best option. One but - choose juicy shades, as far as possible from everything that you managed to let into your interior. Leaving your comfort zone is one of the main conditions for changes in life. And in a bright environment, these changes will always only be for the better. 
7. Expand the windows
If you are unlucky with the size of windows, raisecornices as high as possible and choose contrasting double-layer curtains. So you visually increase the window and make the look of the viewer constantly move. 
8. The best is the enemy of the good
We always try to increase the number ofsunlight indoors, but what if it's already too much? Here, curtains will come to the rescue again. Only in contrast to the previous options here, we advise you to choose a plain, translucent, unhappy tulle. 
9. Duplicate the decor
Do you have textiles or is there an unusual chair?Extend the idea in curtains. It is not necessary to repeat the wallpaper pattern or look for an ornament that perfectly repeats the thread on your favorite table. It is enough to choose two main shades of wallpaper, repeat the drapery of the sofa or find curtains in the same style as the brightest accents of the room. In any case, you will achieve the greatest effect if you use multilayer textiles.
