It is unlikely that anyone will object that curtains in the interior of any room create a special atmosphere. Therefore, when choosing curtains, be sure to pay attention to their color, texture, and style. To simplify the task somewhat, let’s do a short review of curtains. Let’s start with their style.
Curtain design
Of the several dozen possible stylistic designs for curtains, we will consider the most popular (we will not dwell on the always popular classics).
- Very popular and often used in the interior (for example, in the kitchen) are Roman blinds, which are a panel of fabric that is evenly gathered upward in overlapping folds.
- The French curtain (a panel, usually of silk fabric with numerous longitudinal drawstrings with cords, when pulled together, the curtain gathers into beautiful wavy folds) looks great in a Baroque interior. These curtains are most often used to decorate bedrooms.
- Japanese curtains, reminiscent of a screen, look stylish and refined in the interior. They are panels covered with fabric that are moved using a rope mechanism.
- Roller blinds fit into almost any interior; their appearance (in this case, the rolled-up state is implied) is indicated by their very name.
- Thread curtains will add some unusualness to the interior. Their beauty is that, when decorating a window, they do not limit freedom of access to it – they do not need to be pulled back.

Special mention should be made about the curtains in the “Provence” interior – always light, weightless, perhaps with a small floral pattern or discreet stripes.
Of course, the choice of curtains is also influenced by the room in which they will be hung. So, for example, curtains in the interior of the living room must be an active element of decor – in the front room the curtains must also be formal. Heavy velvet curtains, for example, burgundy, will fit perfectly into the interior of a living room, especially a large one.

But for the bedroom it is better to choose curtains of calmer colors and shades so that they only emphasize the features of the interior. Blue curtains will look very good in the bedroom interior. This color, according to psychologists, promotes healthy sleep better than others.

Since we are talking about the color of the curtains, let’s consider some color options for this decorative element.
Curtain color
Everyone knows that with the help of color you can visually adjust the size of a room, fill it with light or, conversely, shade it. This fully applies to the color of curtains. Thus, blue curtains in the interior of a very sunny room will create a feeling of coolness. On the contrary, yellow curtains will add some warmth to the interior of “northern” rooms. In addition, white curtains are no less appropriate in the interior of such rooms.

Orange curtains will fit perfectly into the interior of a nursery – this color promotes active mental activity, in addition to being simply joyful. The choice of curtains for large living rooms has already been discussed. Now a few comments about the selection of textiles (curtains) for small living rooms. Green curtains will harmoniously fit into the interior of a small room, filling it with freshness. Turquoise curtains in the interior of the living room (and not only) will favorably emphasize the beauty of expensive furniture made of natural wood.

In the interior of any room, oddly enough, pink curtains will look good – they will contribute to the visual expansion of the space, filling it with tenderness and lightness. Don’t be afraid to use curtains in radical colors, such as black, in your interior. With the right color combination, such curtains will add strict elegance and luxury to the interior. The same applies to purple curtains in the interior – with a carefully thought-out selection of the colors of other decorative elements, curtains in this color design will make the room elegant and glamorous.
