Curtains with garters

A curtain is a piece of heavy, dense fabric. They are used to decorate large windows at a summer house, and are also used in spacious rooms where a sense of coziness and privacy is required.

Curtains are often complemented with grabs that form picturesque folds. They soften the roughness of log or plank walls. They look good when paired with translucent curtains.

Roman linen blinds

The products are made of natural fabric, which, when raised, forms neat folds of the same width. They look elegant and at the same time laconic, and thanks to the natural material they fit perfectly into the country house interior.

Roman blinds do not need additional decoration, but if you want complete darkening in the room, you can add blackout curtains to them. Natural linen lets in light and air, does not fade and does not cause allergies.

Cafe curtains in the kitchen

Simple “granny” curtains, hiding only half the window, have returned to country and modern interiors under a new, “European” name – cafe-style curtains. They are fixed on a rod or fishing line in the center of the window opening.

They can have a decorative function, being complemented with lace, ruffles, buttons, or they can mask the room from the street or shade the sunlight.

For cafe curtains, choose simple natural fabric with uncomplicated patterns – this design is devoid of pomp and looks organic in a rustic style. If desired, you can install a shelf for plants or kitchen utensils above the rod.

Light curtains

In a country house with rooms with large windows, you often want to maintain a feeling of airiness and spaciousness. At the same time, if the sun illuminates the room too brightly, fabric is needed to diffuse the rays. Avoid thick, massive curtains in favor of light and bright curtains: they will add lightness to the room, but will not darken it too much.

Textiles with patterns are especially appropriate at the dacha, which add coziness to the interior. Give preference to unobtrusive patterns without contrasting transitions from dark to light, so as not to overload the environment visually.

Blinds for small windows

If the window opening is small, choose laconic blinds for it. They will add a touch of modernity to the decor. They look good both in the bedroom and living room of a wooden house, and in the kitchen. They are easy to care for – just wipe off dust with a damp cloth periodically.

The products do not attract unnecessary attention – choose white blinds with thin slats to “dissolve” them against the background of the window. A great option if you want to focus on something else – furniture or decor.

Flounces

Another way to decorate a small window in the country is to use flounces, which are a frill made of fabric. They cover only the upper part of the window opening and serve as a decorative detail, since they do not provide privacy or protection from the sun.

Thanks to the flounce, you can admire the view from the window at any time. The solution will appeal to those who have abandoned traditional curtains, but do not want to leave the window opening undesigned.

Curtains in the attic

In a room under a roof with a sloping ceiling, it will not be possible to design window openings in the usual way. Attic curtains are hung either on a cornice fixed diagonally, or under the ceiling and secured with grabs.

In addition to standard curtains, you can use blinds that are attached to a frame – ideal for windows located directly in the ceiling.

Embroidered tulle

To fit lace fabrics into the interior of a modern apartment, special skill and style are required. Where to put old tulle curtains? Tulle looks most harmonious in a setting with a bias towards Provence, country and shabby chic, and such curtains seem to be created for a country house.

Tulle fabric with embroidery adds romance to the room, looks a little naive, but at the same time very elegant.

Interior shutters

Some people think that wooden shutters in the country are outdated, but they are actively used in design projects and add originality to the room. The products reliably protect from the sun and can completely darken the room – useful for families with small children who need to sleep during the day or go to bed before dark.

Shutters painted in a bright color become the main accent of the interior. But if you want to “hide” them, choose a paint color that matches the walls.

Austrian curtains

Unlike French and Roman curtains, Austrian curtains do not have gathering along the cornice, so they look most appropriate in a country house interior. It does not form multi-tiered classic waves that tend to be voluminous, and is easy to make – you can sew it yourself.

Usually, an Austrian curtain is made of lightly draped fabric, which allows you to form beautiful wave-like folds – festoons – when raised. Looks great both in residential interiors and in the kitchen.

Curtains in a country house can not only hide the life of household members from prying eyes, but also lift the mood, and emphasize the style of the interior.
