Modern curtains: photos, varieties, color solutions and combinations with tulle in the interior.

Features of window decoration with tulle

Correctly chosen tulle will become a special accent of the interior or a neutral background for decorative items. It is distinguished by transparency, smooth or openwork texture of neutral or bright color.

Tulle simultaneously protects the room from sunlight and transmits it, while diffusing it, which brings an airy and cozy atmosphere to the interior. Light fabric drapes well and holds a given shape.

Rules for choosing tulle:

1. Tulle and curtains in the interior should be contrasting or complement each other, differing in shades. If there is a pattern on the curtains, then the tulle should repeat it, or remain neutral;
2. It should be selected to match the style and color of the interior, taking into account whether the emphasis will be on the window, or it will become a background for other interior items;
3. If there is no connection to a specific interior style, then a win-win choice will be tulle in neutral beige and white shades without a prominent pattern;
4. When custom-made, you need to take into account the features of the fabric, its shrinkage during sewing, and then washing, it is best to select curtains from a photo;
5. When choosing natural tulle, you should remember that fabric with the addition of polyester wrinkles less. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the material is impregnated with a special antistatic and dirt-repellent agent, especially if the textile will be used in the kitchen.
