How to choose the right curtains

When choosing curtains, several rules are required:

• for wallpaper with complex variegated patterns, you should select monochromatic curtains and vice versa;
• bright curtains look great, preferably warm colors;
• it is desirable that the walls contrast with the decoration of the windows, and not merge with it, but the combination option is also possible;
• if the curtains are matched to the wallpaper, then they should be at least two or three tones lighter or darker;
• curtains should be in harmony with other textiles in the room - furniture upholstery, carpets, pillows, wardrobe trunks, draperies on the bed, armchairs, etc.

Curtains with vertical or horizontal stripes, against a background of plain wallpaper, slightly change the geometry of the space. Light thin curtains are almost always inappropriate here. The most harmonious look are red-brown curtains, curtains, the color of coffee with milk, sky blue, bright green, violet. But blinds or blinds are selected with alternating canvases - gold with brown, blue, silver, pink and others.

Japanese curtains can repeat the pattern of the walls, if so conceived, and Italian curtains have only a golden lace to pull them in the right place. Austrian or London ones are decorated with gold ribbons, they can have a wide gold cornice, in harmony with the wallpaper. The hourglass-shaped curtains, tied in the middle, are inserted into the frames of the partitions that zone the space of the studio apartment or kitchen-living room. They duplicate the texture, the pattern of the curtains on the windows, matching the color with the wallpaper or contrasting with it. Interior curtains for a golden interior sometimes look like a crumbling "rain" made of gilded beads.

Light curtains, with or without a pattern, will fit into the theme for almost any interior, dark shades are used only for the most spacious rooms, wide corridors.

Combination with furniture, ceiling, floor

In most cases, the floor covering is chosen a couple of tones darker than the walls of the room - this will visually create reliable support for the legs and furniture, ensuring compositional balance. Lacquered goes well with gold wallpaper batten, parquet, wood-tone laminate, floor ceramic tile, linoleum. The ceiling is desirable light, but may have separate gilded stucco elements. An option for the nursery will be a light blue ceiling with a sun-shaped chandelier that kind of illuminates the walls.

Furniture that is contrasting with gold wallpaper looks best; it is chosen a few tones darker or lighter. If the wallpaper is plain, the upholstery upholstered furniture a patterned one is selected, and when they have a complex ornament, then sofas, armchairs, poufs, kitchen corners, etc. are decorated with fabrics with a simple large pattern or without it at all. Gold accessories are used in moderation, do not litter the room with many figurines or vases. The central gilded chandelier and the gold edging of the carpet will be enough.

If you use golden wallpaper with gradient transitions from dark to light, then the maximum saturated color preferred below.

Wall design in rooms

Especially bright golden wallpaper is pasted in rooms with windows facing north - they will give a feeling of "sunshine" in the absence of natural sunlight. Darker ones - chocolate gold or black and gold - are used in spacious "southern" rooms where daylight is abundant throughout most of the day. Too much gloss should not be applied - this visually "burdens" the interior, so an overly bright gilded finish should occupy no more than one third of the room.

For which rooms is it better to use golden wallpaper:

• living room - various shades are permissible, in combination with beige, cream, silver, terracotta, fuchsia, emerald, lilac;
• bedroom - as little gloss as possible, perfect option - gilding on a light background;
• kitchen - gilded decoration should be neat, but not overly shiny;
• nursery - suitable for very calm children, light muted tones are preferred;
• bathroom - washable are rarely used, preference is most often given to self-adhesive film;
• dressing room - the walls are not particularly visible here, because their color does not really matter;
• study - here nothing should distract from work, therefore the minimum shine is chosen;
• loggia or insulated balcony - the walls are decorated with the same color and texture as the entire room.

Any "overlapping" wallpaper should be started to glue from the window - if they even peel off a little along the edge, the seams will not be noticeable, general form will not be violated. When gluing "butt butt", there is no difference where to glue.

Bedroom with gold trim

The golden walls of the bedroom will turn it into a wonderful apartment. Here you can fall asleep and wake up, imagining yourself in the royal chambers. The minimum amount of gloss should be used - it can interfere with normal sleep, sharp, bright contrasts are also inappropriate. Subdued shades give an antique look, especially red gold.

The most popular options are:

• the wall at the head of the bed is decorated with gold, the rest of the walls are decorated with white;
• the wall opposite the bed is decorated with gold photowall-paper, depicting natural species or abstractions, the rest of the walls are plain;
• all walls are pasted over with light wallpaper with a golden pattern.

Gold wallpaper with images of savannah or desert animals will decorate the most unique children's room in an original way.

Living room design options

If the hall is cramped, then a lot of light sources combined with white wallpaper covered with gold ornaments, light furniture, floor decoration two or three tones darker than the walls, will visually expand it.
A lot of glitz is used here to create a solemn atmosphere. The furniture is also selected luxurious, preferably from solid bog oak, pine, spruce, beech, mahogany, rosewood, walnut. It can have forged elements, which are also decorated with gilding.

A huge sofa upholstered in brown leather, matching the same leather chairs, an oak wall cabinet similar to it round table on carved legs will perfectly fit into such an interior.

If the design of one of your rooms is made in shades of gold, then, for sure, the question of which curtains are best suited to gold wallpaper is already on your doorstep. Decide on color scheme walls are not enough for a full-fledged design, it is equally important to correctly combine colors in the interior and highlight accents. And for this you need to understand the nature and psychology of colors.

A matter of style

First of all, when choosing curtains for golden wallpaper, it is important to decide on the style of the room. As a rule, shades of gold are chosen by people who want to fill their home with the spirit of the times, which once lived in palaces and have seen many magnificent balls. Walls decorated in this way will look equally luxurious in all rooms. It doesn't matter whether it is a hall designed to collect guests, or a bedroom accessible only to the owner. The only thing that matters is the uniformity of the design. Most often, gold is inherent in styles such as:

• High tech;
• Baroque;
• Classicism;
• Rococo.

Each of these areas provides for certain nuances, non-observance of which may affect the final result of the entire repair. Therefore, if you do not have the proper amount of knowledge, and there is no time to study the rules of home coloring and the basics of design, the best solution would be to turn to professionals for help.

In an interior where the main element is gold, the curtains should be a harmonious continuation of it. Curtains made of dense fabric will give great significance and chic; they should be heavy and solid. Curtains made of fabrics will look best in a room with gold wallpaper:

• Velvet. The material is very delicate and pleasant for the eye and skin, but at the same time it is heavy and practically does not let the sun's rays through.

velvet curtains

• Flock. Thick enough fabric hallmark which is a small pile on the outer surface. A common option is samples decorated with glittering powder, which will be a unique addition to gold on the walls.
• ... A curtain made of this material will completely block the light from entering the room, which is convenient for bedrooms. The material is strong and completely merges with the decor, adding precious comfort and mystery to it.
• Jacquard. Also, a dense heavy fabric that will look very beautiful in the interior of the living room, as it is often decorated with large unobtrusive patterns.

Jacquard curtains

But light options like linen or silk are not recommended at all, their structure will destroy the rich decoration of the room.

Pattern or canvas?

Another issue that should be considered is the pattern of curtains for golden wallpaper. Should it be large or small? Contrasting or barely noticeable? Or maybe the canvas of future curtains should be monochromatic?

There is no single answer. The important point here is the wallpaper you have already made. If the walls are decorated with gold with a pronounced pattern, then the curtains in this room should be neutral, preferably one color. If, on the contrary, the design of the room is made in a monochromatic range, then it is allowed to purchase curtains with a pattern. But the style must be kept up to the last detail.

Some designers advise using a professional trick: when the color is chosen, the materials are determined, but the curtains for your golden wallpaper are not selected - repeat the pattern from the wallpaper in their design, this will give the room tranquility and fill with harmony.

A palette of matching colors

If the main color is dark - chocolate, blue, gray, then get the tulle white. This will be exactly the accent that will balance the character of the room. If the curtains are shaded with a clear pattern or pattern, then the tulle has a place to be only plain. Important: do not experiment with organza - the sheen of the wallpaper is enough to bring to life the ideas of luxurious decoration of royal castles. The colored fabric shimmering in the rays of the sun will eat up the space of the room and make the interior a cheap imitation of antiquity.

The psychology of colors

When choosing suitable curtains, as well as other colored decorative elements, it is important to understand what the palette of colors you are interested in carries. Each shade has certain properties that affect a person. This influence can be equally beneficial and dangerous.

So, the golden color has long been a symbol of luxury and prosperity, symbolizes joy and well-being. However, in the modern world, gold tones in the interior are already called a sign of bad tone, more often due to its misuse. Gold and its palette attracts good luck, creates an atmosphere of calm and tranquility, allows you to focus and calm your nerves. At the same time, an excess of gloss can make a person despondent and depressed. It is best to decorate western rooms and their parts with gold, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, this attracts money and success to the house.

If you opt for the golden walls, you can provide a sense of stability and tranquility in this room. This is the color of the earth and its main feature is the ability to calm down. In combination with a gilded sheen, it fills the atmosphere with strength and tranquility.

White color in the interior creates inspiration for the inhabitants of the house. Since ancient times, it has been considered the color of peace and faith. White curtains can help you believe in yourself, gather strength and inspire you to take new steps and achievements. Moderate application of this shade gives lightness and helps to reveal hidden and false in controversial moments.

Sky blue, on the other hand, is ideal for bedrooms. The elements made in this palette help to relax, to understand oneself. It will not only help you fall asleep and cope with migraines, but also fill the room with harmony. Combined with gold, you get a unique tandem, a place where you can relax your body and soul.

Tricks of choice

It should be summed up, which curtains are best suited for the interior of a room with gold wallpaper. The answer is simple - those that will be ideal for its inhabitants. Feel free to experiment, but don't try to connect different styles... Gold requires a special attitude - everything must match the main vector.

It is important to highlight three basic rules:

1. Gold is a luxury, and an excess of luxurious decoration is an indicator of bad taste and poor taste.
2. A drawing for precious shine is superfluous, only graceful patterns are allowed, repeating in small details of the entire interior.
3. Gold goes well with many colors, but no more than three shades should be present in the room's palette: one is the main color, the other two are diluting the character of the room.

And most importantly, do not try to choose curtains from the photo, the zest of the golden color is precisely in its unique shine, which no picture will convey. Therefore, the best choice is to post a piece of wallpaper from your walls. This will help you choose the right shade and texture of the curtains, which will give the room the completeness and the necessary gloss.
