Types of curtains

Today, designers widely use various styles to decorate windows. If desired, textiles on the window can become both a soft and organic addition to the overall concept of the interior, and a luxurious color or textured accent of the room.

Curtains

In a modern interior, curtains are most often called curtains that are sewn from light and thin fabrics – organza, tulle and veil. These can also be dense, plain curtains made of smooth materials with an even weave.

Fabrics made of natural fibers with a patterned, checkered or cellular structure that allow air to pass through well – can be an ideal option for making curtains.

Double

Double curtains are those whose fabrics are combined one on top of the other. Lambrequins and a combination of two translucent curtains are often used in the decor of this type of curtains. Multilayered curtains made of translucent organza will decorate and visually enlarge a small window.

Roman

These curtains are made of a smooth fabric, which is divided into equal sections. Each horizontal section is fixed with a sewn-in durable and lightweight rod. To raise the curtain, you need to pull the cord, which is attached on the reverse side. They can be used to dim bright daylight. And in order not to create a gloomy atmosphere, it is worth using translucent fabrics, for example, organza.

French

This type of curtains is often called “marquise”. French curtains consist of sections that are formed by semicircular folds, evenly distributed across the entire canvas. A marquise made of silk organza or tulle goes well with lambrequins and curtains.

Austrian

Austrian curtains are distinguished by voluminous scallops at the bottom of the canvas. At the top, the curtain is draped manually or with a curtain tape. These curtains are sewn from translucent fabrics. Depending on the purpose, they are practical to use in the kitchen to create an airy effect and make a practical short length to the windowsill. In the living room or bedroom, paired with heavy curtains, Austrian curtains will add an accent of luxury to the room’s interior.

With photo printing

This type of curtains involves choosing any photo image, for example, a city or natural landscape, with subsequent application to the canvas.

Types of organza

Fashion trends suggest the use of new types of organza in window decoration. Created with the help of innovative thread weaving technologies, these types of fabrics provide the effect of additional diffusion of sunlight, play of color and shimmer under artificial lighting.

• Crash. This type of organza is also called – “broken glass effect”. The texture of the fabric is uneven, as if cracked.
• Crinkled. Or tergalet. The pattern on the fabric looks like crash and also has a relief “crumpled” texture.
• Devore. In this organza, dense and transparent sections of the fabric alternate. In production, this effect is achieved by etching the fabric with specially selected reagents.
• Rain. Small dense threads imitating the pattern of rain are woven into the organza fabric.
• Chameleon. This type of fabric has an iridescent texture and a silky sheen.

Dimensions

When choosing the parameters of the future curtain composition, in particular the length of the canvas, designers take into account:

• the height of the room;
• the color of the walls and furniture;
• the functionality of the room – living room, kitchen or bedroom.

Long

Floor-length curtains or softly draped ones on the floor will never go out of fashion. If the room is located on the south or southeast side, then long thick curtains will be suitable for protection from light. For those who love bright light, curtains made of light and bright organza are suitable.

Short

Curtains up to the windowsill can be used in rooms both for a practical purpose – in the kitchen and in the nursery, to avoid frequent contamination. And for an aesthetic one – in the design of a room with a modern style, the window frame is often decorated with short Roman blinds of a dense texture. If the interior needs more light and lightness, then they are combined with airy curtains up to the floor.

Color scheme

A color scheme is a combination of colors and their shades that harmonize with each other, which means they can be combined in decor and textiles when decorating an interior.

Choosing the right colors for interior design is an important task, since different shades have the ability to influence mood and physical condition: some tones excite the nervous system, while others, on the contrary, calm it.

Beige

This color is an excellent base for other more saturated and vibrant shades. In addition, the palette of beige in milky, cappuccino, ecru and caramel shades allows you to use it in monochrome design. Designers use this method to achieve the effect of calm and softness in the interior.

White

White organza curtains have the ability to visually increase the space. White color evokes positive images: a white dove is a symbol of peace and friendship. There are more than 10 shades of white, both cold and warm, for example, platinum and milky tones. Choosing the right tone will allow you to harmoniously combine tulle with other elements of the curtain composition.

Care and cleaning recommendations

Organza is easy to care for and easy to wash, but there are a few rules to ensure the fabric retains its appearance for a long time.

How to wash properly?

First of all, you need to know what mode to wash on, what detergents to choose and how to bleach.

1. The temperature for washing organza should not be higher than 30 degrees. The use of hot water is excluded, as the fabric is deformed.
2. When hand washing, the fabric must be soaked and not wrung out after rinsing.
3. The number of revolutions should also be minimal and maximum 500 per minute.
4. When bleaching, it is necessary to choose gentle bleaching agents that do not contain chlorine.

How to iron?

In order not to damage the fabric when ironing, it is necessary to follow some rules.

1. It is necessary to start ironing organza immediately after washing, while the fabric is still damp. In this case, the smoothing process will be faster compared to dried fabric.
2. It is necessary to place a thick fabric under and on top of the fabric. Clean gauze is ideal for this.
3. The iron temperature should be set to minimum, otherwise yellow or burnt spots may appear, which will spoil the appearance of the curtain.
