Features of choosing curtains for a loggia

Nuances of choosing curtains for open and closed loggias:

  • For balconies located on the south side, it is better to choose products made of denser materials that protect well from the sun, for example, blackout.
  • Windows with a northern orientation can be decorated with curtains made of light fabric.
  • More dust accumulates in this room, so you should not choose double-layered and too lush curtains.
  • It is advisable to decorate a small balcony in an apartment with simple and laconic models and refuse thick curtains and lambrequins.
  • For an open loggia, curtains or classic curtains made of simple fabrics, without unnecessary draperies and folds, are suitable.

What types of curtains are best for the balcony?

Curtains should not only harmonize with the various elements of the loggia’s interior, but also correspond to the features of this room.

Curtains (tulle, veil, organza)

Perfectly let air and sunlight through, they do not weigh down the balcony space and beautifully flutter in the wind, creating a feeling of spaciousness and lightness.

Ideas in different styles

Even balcony spaces have their own stylistic directions.

  • Provence. A balcony decorated in the Provence style is best decorated with light linen curtains, such a composition will look very elegant and will turn the loggia into a real paradise.
  • Modern. In this style, simpler and straighter models are appropriate. Sun protection roller blinds or wooden blinds will perfectly emphasize a fashionable and stylish interior.
  • Classic. Here they choose models that combine functionality and aesthetics and at the same time maintain warmth and comfort in the space.

Photos for non-standard types of windows and balcony shapes

Several types of window openings and loggias of unusual shapes:

  • Sliding windows. Classic horizontal slats or roller blinds with a ceiling profile will be appropriate here.
  • Panoramic glazing. Roller blinds or blinds with fastening directly to the balcony frame will emphasize the delightful feeling of space and freedom on the loggia with panoramic windows.
  • Corner. Curtains should accentuate the unusual silhouette of the balcony and give it even more sophistication.
  • Semicircle. Translucent curtains will gracefully emphasize the semicircular shape and will not spoil the view from the loggia.

Options for fastening to the cornice

Various types of fastening allow you to create an even more thoughtful design of curtains.

  • With Velcro. When the balcony has very large windows up to the ceiling and there is no space left to install a curtain rod, curtains with Velcro, which can be hung without drilling, are a great option.
  • On hooks. They are universal fasteners that are quite convenient and easy to use.
  • Tape. Gives the curtains beautiful and lush vertical folds and allows you to model their shape.
