Tulle for the kitchen: options, choice of material, palette, styles, patterns and combination with curtains.

Which fabric is better to choose?

Modern manufacturers offer tulle material for every taste and budget. From the point of view of practicality, the material of the canvases should be easy to clean and not deform when washed. Before choosing tulle for the kitchen, you need to figure out which material and in which interior is better to prefer.

Organza

It is a thin, stiff, transparent fabric. Traditionally, silk, viscose or polyester are used to produce organza.

Veil

Smooth, soft, translucent fabric. The main feature of using voile curtains in the kitchen is the ability to transmit and diffuse sunlight, which is an advantage when choosing a window frame facing the dark side.

Kiseya

Very light, transparent fabric, made from cotton threads. It is able to freely pass air, while shading the room from sunlight.

Chiffon

A light, translucent fabric that diffuses light and can protect the room from prying eyes. Chiffon is made from cotton or silk threads.

Types

Tulle manufacturers offer a huge selection of materials by texture.

Mesh

It looks beautiful on the window in combination with curtains or other modern materials. It is not recommended to use a material with a texture – mesh without an additional background, as it will not protect the kitchen from either sunlight or prying eyes.

Spiderweb

It is very durable, despite its visual weightlessness. It is made of silk or synthetics. Does not require ironing after washing. You can use gossamer both separately and in combination with other types of fabric.

Rain

Modern designers recommend using this type of fabric in bright interiors to emphasize contrasting accents and calm the overall background.

Pleated

It has an amazing property of transmitting light and holding back the sun’s rays. It is an ideal solution for windows facing the south side. Does not wrinkle at all.

Thread

Does not require ironing and retains its original shape for a very long time. If desired, such fabrics can be decorated with contrasting beads.

Sizes of kitchen tulle

The choice of size directly depends on the area of the kitchen.

Short

It will fit well into the interior of a small kitchen, without interfering, if necessary, with opening the window.

Long

Will look gorgeous in a spacious kitchen-dining room. It will favorably emphasize the high cost of the interior.

Design options in various styles

The stylistic design of the kitchen allows you to convey the emotional component and personal preferences of the owners.

Provence

When decorating a kitchen window opening in a rustic French style, you should choose tulle with a light pastel base color and a bright floral print.

Classic

The classic style is appropriate in rooms with a large area, as it implies curtains to the floor. In the classics, tulle in the kitchen is either white or light pastel colors. A small pattern is allowed on the material.

Modern

Modern style kitchen tulle can have absolutely different colors or even multi-colored ones, as well as a geometric print, for example, with triangles. Both rich monochromatic colors, such as burgundy, and those with photo printing will do.

High-tech

A high-tech curtain can be equipped with a mechanism that allows you to open access to the window from a remote control and the simplest, possibly geometric coloring.

Color scheme

The color of the tulle should be in harmony with the color of the furniture in the kitchen. If you have difficulty choosing, you should give preference to light or pastel colors.

White

A classic color for framing a window in the kitchen, especially in a small area. But when choosing white, you should take into account that it is an aggressive color and is best combined with a calm, light interior.

Beige

A neutral, calm color. But when choosing beige, you should consider that there are two shades of beige – warm and cold.

Orange

Greatly expands the space and is ideal for dark rooms. Increases vitality and increases appetite.

Green

Light and airy green tulle will enliven and refresh the kitchen space. Green is a natural color and therefore has a calming effect on the human psyche.

Blue

It will add lightness to the interior, as the delicate blue color is associated with clear expanses of heaven. It harmonizes best with warm green, soft pink or peach colors.

Gray

It is a complex, paradoxical color, the brightness of which changes depending on the degree of saturation. A monochromatic palette of gray fabric in the kitchen will go equally well with both a blue set and sunflowers on the wallpaper.

Brown

An aristocratic color that can emphasize the status of the owner of a kitchen with such curtains. The interior with brown tulle creates a feeling of isolation and security. This color also has a significant drawback: when combined with dark furniture, it visually reduces the area of the kitchen.

Yellow

Ideal for a kitchen with windows facing north. Will add light and warmth.

Red

Pink

Suitable for kitchens decorated in modern styles or country, Provence. When choosing a pink tone for the kitchen window frame, it is important that the color of the furniture is matte or has a wood structure.

Lilac

Biased tulle adds asymmetry to the interior, giving visual lightness from the short side and emphasizing the details from the long side.

Made in two halves

Options for attaching to the cornice

The choice of the method for attaching tulle to the cornice directly depends on the preferences of the owners of the interior.

Rings

Tulle on rings looks no worse than on eyelets. But at the same time, the rings are an additional element of window decoration in the kitchen. The rings can be either the same color or combined.

Loops

Similar to ties, this type of fastening suits any type of interior. Usually, loops are made of the same material as the tulle fabric, but sometimes, you should choose a material that differs in color and texture.

Ties

You need to be careful when choosing this method of fastening. It will not suit all types of kitchen interiors. For example, if the room is decorated in a loft style, modern classic or minimalism, such fastening will be inappropriate. But it will fit well into more romantic interiors.

Non-standard windows

In addition to the usual rectangular shape, kitchens now come in different designs.

With a balcony door

To decorate a kitchen window opening with a balcony door, you can use either a single piece of floor-length curtain or two pieces of tulle: one that reaches the windowsill and the other that completely covers the door to the balcony.

The photo shows an example of decorating a window with a balcony door with curtains with a hard lambrequin.

Bay window

The main task of the bay window in the kitchen: to give the room an increased degree of illumination, based on this, the tulle for the window should not prevent sunlight from entering the room.

• The color of the tulle should preferably be light, but not necessarily white.
• Large patterns should be avoided.
