Windows are the most visible place in any room. And their main decoration is curtains. If you decide to decorate a room or kitchen in a country style, you just need to choose the right curtains.
Only natural materials can be used to recreate country style (rustic style). So you entered a village hut, look at the windows. No blinds or burgundy velvet curtains, just small light curtains.
If you decide to purchase curtains for a country-style kitchen, you should pay special attention to the design of the window, table, and chairs.

Everything ingenious is simple
Country curtain fabrics include chintz, cotton and linen. Decorators love them. They are what we need.
Cotton curtains are characterized by chemical resistance and high strength. Neither water nor light have any effect on the material for a long time. Another distinctive characteristic is good heat resistance. However, the fabric wrinkles easily and may shrink after washing. Unfortunately, white curtains tend to turn yellow in the sun.
In the distant times of the USSR, the most popular and used fabric was chintz. They made so many things out of it: women’s dresses, men’s shirts, towels, pillowcases, duvet covers, sheets. Chintz curtains are perfect for a country-style bedroom. The nature of chintz will only emphasize the rustic design.

Linen is highly valued in Europe and is considered a luxury fabric, and in our country it is widely used. Even in Ancient Rus’, clothes, bedding and curtains were already made from flax. It is very light and durable, has a matte shine, and is perhaps the ideal material for sewing curtains. And most importantly, it hardly shrinks after washing.
Taking a break from the bustle of the city
What should be the design of country style curtains? Light-colored fabrics are welcome. Either beige or white. The design is very simple: polka dots, stripes, checkered patterns, flowers. Any pictures that match the surroundings of the village will also work. For example, sunflowers, strawberries, strawberries, raspberries, apples, pears, wheat, rye, chickens, cows, melons, watermelons and cherries.
The length can vary: from long in the living room and bedroom to very short in the kitchen. They will be easier to wash. There are also curtains with frills or tiebacks, which perfectly emphasize the rustic style.
Well-chosen and tasteful curtains will make the design of the room warm, cozy and light.
