Current concepts of curtain design in stylish loft design

General recommendations for choosing curtains

There are a number of recommendations for the right choice.

• Natural fabrics that allow maximum light transmission are best suited for this style. For example: linen, tulle or airy organza.
• Volumetric draperies and folds are not expected here. The shapes and lines of the curtains should be clear and even.
• It is advisable to choose curtains in white, beige, gray or other pastel colors.
• The print on the curtains should echo the main idea of the style. It can be large in size or in the form of photo printing and graphics.

Types of curtains

The design of curtains for a loft is distinguished by minimalism, conciseness and maximum functionality.

Roller

They will fit especially perfectly into the interior, emphasize and support the general atmosphere of the loft. They harmoniously combine with brickwork, heavy furniture and ascetic design.

Roman

Perfectly suited for decorating an apartment in this style. Practical and functional, they are made from completely different fabrics. Roman blinds will add coziness and aesthetics to the interior.

Tulle (curtains)

Weightless fabric in combination with a metal cornice will give a special charm to the interior and will become the best solution for design.

Blinds

The best option for maintaining minimalism and clearly creating a loft style. In addition, blinds perfectly protect the room from too much sunlight.

Photo curtains

Stylized curtains with photo printing under graffiti, flags, posters or posters will support the overall picture of the interior in this style.

Double curtains

The loft has a rather rough interior, which implies straight and strict lines. Double panels beautifully diffuse the light entering the room and form a semblance of even columns of fabric.

Thread

Light and transparent threads provide free access to fresh air and do not deprive the space of light.

Curtain material

Correctly selected textiles will add zest and a finished look to the interior, as well as warmth and coziness.

Fabrics for curtains

Blackout is one of the best types of material for window decoration. It does not let in sunlight and allows you to completely darken the room, even if it is midday outside.

Natural linen fabrics are hygroscopic, hypoallergenic and have good air permeability. Durable, resistant to constant washing and ironing.

Rogozhka is a dense fabric with a beautiful texture, consisting of three layers. It drapes well, keeps its shape well and prevents light from entering the room.

Cotton is a durable, pleasant to the touch material, hypoallergenic, resistant to high temperatures and not subject to electrification.

Taffeta is a smooth fabric with a characteristic iridescent shine and fragile folds. It is especially suitable for creating original and fantasy loft interiors.

Tulle fabrics (for curtains)

Unlike curtain fabrics, they do not protect the room from sunlight, but only softly diffuse it. Despite this, curtains will be a wonderful decoration for the window opening and will make the loft interior especially comfortable.

Veil is a delicate and light material that forms soft folds. A universal option for decorating a room and adding elegance to it.

Organza is a very thin, transparent, slightly stiff fabric with a metallic sheen. When draped, due to its structure, it forms angular folds.

Kiseya will provide complete freedom for creativity. You can decorate any interior with such curtains, they are perfect for both window decoration and space zoning.

Types of fastening to the cornice

For each type of curtains, there is its own, best-suited fastening option.

Eyelets

Curtains on eyelets will fit especially well into the interior. With this type of fastening, a beautiful wave-like drapery is created on the canvas.

Velcro

A simple and convenient fastening option that allows you to place the curtain not only on the frame, but also directly on the wall or beam. The most practical are Roman blinds with Velcro, they are especially in harmony with the loft style.

Loops

This type of fastening, such as decorative loops, is quite often used in urban interiors.

Curtains

Curtains with a so-called sleeve at the top of the fabric. They are great for decorating windows in the loft style.

Tape

The fabric is draped with tape, which creates frequent folds. Such curtains look simple and at the same time very original. They add a certain dynamism to the room.

Rings

This method of fastening is present in the vast majority of interiors. This design is durable and wear-resistant. Often the design of the rings is selected to match the overall style of the room.

Curtain sizes

The length of the curtains has a huge impact on the appearance of the window and the spatial perception of the entire room.

Short ones are an ideal and practical length option that fits harmoniously into the decor. Short curtains will add a unique fantasy and playfulness to the interior.

Simple in shape and long canvases are the most indispensable decor for modern lofts.
