In this article, we will consider all the fashionable novelties of 2018 in the design of modern curtains for the living room and hall, as well as provide many illustrative photos with examples.

Curtains and tulle

Tulle and curtains have long been the most popular tandem decorating window openings in living rooms and halls.

In 2017, it is fashionable to hang two-tone curtains. In fact, such curtains are simply sewn from the fabric of two different colors... Due to this sewing method, it seems that some curtains are layered on others. It looks nice and stylish.

The photo shows options for modern two-tone curtains for the living room and hall.

Today it is fashionable to combine any model of curtains with lambrequins. Consider some modern ideas:

• Lush classic lambrequin will add gloss and status to the appearance of curtains and curtains.
• Lambrequin in the form of a perekid will soften and make the strict straight lines of Roman blinds and horizontal blinds less formal.
• Bando in the form of an elongated narrow rectangle will emphasize the smooth soft shapes of the Austrian and French curtains.
• An openwork lambrequin with a fancy ornament in combination with vertical fabric blinds will create the effect of perspective and depth of space outside the window.

For each type of curtain, you can find your lambrequin model. Together they will help create a unique and one-of-a-kind interior.

Roman curtains

- a kind of lifting curtains. They have a simple rectangular shape, in the assembled state they are collected in even horizontal folds, which are obtained thanks to plastic and wooden slats sewn to their seamy side.

The photo shows an example of how you can combine Roman blinds and classic curtainsso that they look beautiful in a modern interior.

Designers love Roman shades for their versatility. They can be sewn from fabric of any texture and color. This means that Roman blinds can be used both as curtains and as curtains, and a suitable model can be found for every situation.

Even if it does not harmoniously fit into the interior, it can always be combined with another model of window curtains.

For a classic living room, representative dense fabrics such as velvet, jacquard, brocade, tapestry are usually chosen. Roman curtains of them are combined with curtains made of tulle, voile, light silk or organza.

For a living room in a minimalist style, designers recommend Roman curtains made of plain or vertical striped fabrics. The alternation of dark and light stripes looks especially impressive on wide windows.

For living room in Japanese or ecological style excellent solution can become roman blinds made of bamboo or straw. And to soften their strict forms, they can be supplemented with a light colorless tulle suspended from the ceiling string cornice.

Rustic interiors such as English shabby chic, French Provence and American country decorate Roman curtains with floral print or plaid in linen or heavy cotton. True, this season a small print is not welcome, therefore it is better to choose larger flowers and a cage. Due to the fact that the folds on Roman curtain models are even and rare, they do not distort the pattern.

For a small living room, in which there is little daylight, Roman blinds, made of light and light plain fabric, are best suited. They will not weigh down a visually small room and will not attract undue attention to themselves. If you add transparent curtains to such light curtains, the room will look even fresher and more airy.

Thus, for any interior you can find "your" Roman blinds. But since their shape remains unchanged, it will not work to experiment with it. Therefore, it is possible to harmoniously fit them into the situation only by choosing models from fabrics that are different in texture and color.

Austrian curtains

The only model of roller blinds with a romantic character accentuated by graceful draperies. The exception is French marquises. But still, their classic version implies static, and they began to be equipped with lifting control only recently.

"Austrians" are draped only at the bottom of the canvases, so the folds on them do not look lush and pompous. This season they are sewn mainly from soft natural fabrics of delicate colors with a floral print: thin linen, chintz, tulle, organza of delicate pastel colors and decorated with bows, braid, lace, curtain hairpins in the form of flowers and butterflies.

Austrian models can also be sewn from a delicate veil or organza and combined with classic long curtains. And can be used as main curtains.

It is unambiguous to say that Austrian curtains are not suitable for any interior. Their naive "peisan" character fits best with the classic rustic styles:

• For English shabby chic, "Austrians" made of plain cotton or silk of whitish pastel shades are suitable.
• For French Provence, it is better to sew them from thick cotton or linen with delicate pink or blue flowers.
• For Austrian curtains in a room decorated in an American country style, choose satin or cotton in a small cage or strip.

The shading that such fabrics create is usually sufficient for living rooms. Therefore, it is possible to combine curtains from them with other curtains, but not necessarily.

Japanese fabric panels

- sliding curtains, consisting of rectangular, tightly stretched fabrics. Outwardly, they resemble the doors of wardrobes and move in a horizontal plane according to the same principle. The tension of the canvases is provided by a weight bar threaded through the drawstring in their lower part.

Despite the ascetic appearance japanese curtains able to create in the living room no less cozy and comfortable atmosphere than curtains with lush draperies. Moreover, their length can be both to the windowsill and to the floor. The latter option for the living room and hall is preferable.

Light-shielding properties of Japanese curtains depend on their density. At the same time, you can choose any fabric for them: natural, synthetic, dense, transparent, colored, monochromatic, with photo printing. The choice depends on what role you give them in the interior. Whether your room needs full shading or is there enough curtains that only slightly soften the daylight, whether they will be its main accent or their purpose is to create a backdrop for the setting.

Fashion trends of the season for Japanese curtains in the hall and living room are as follows:

• A combination of canvases of different densities on one cornice, for example, from translucent and dense silk. At the same time, dense panels play the role of curtains, and translucent curtains.
• If the size of the window allows, then in front of it you can place up to 10 canvases, of different colors and textures. By moving them along the eaves, making them in a row, one after the other or with an overlap, you can endlessly play with light, shadow and color.
• One of the latest fashion trends is photo curtains. Because Japanese models are shaped like canvas stretched over a frame, they are ideal for photo printing. You can apply any image on them and create a unique, individual interior in the living room.

When decorating the living room and hall with Japanese curtains, do not forget that they are best suited for minimalist interiors such as Japanese, hi-tech, minimalism, modern classics. In order to harmoniously fit laconic fabric panels into lush and romantic interiors, they will have to be combined with curtains, tulle or muslin.

Roller blinds

Recently, modern curtains for the hall have been replenished with another interesting and practical type - or roller shutters. Such a curtain is a piece of fabric that is wound on a shaft installed in a window opening or directly on a window sash. In the first case, in the lowered form, it closes the window completely together with the window sill, and in the second only glass.

Such curtains are especially suitable for people who love conciseness in the interior. Initially, they were used to decorate windows mainly in the kitchen and bathroom, but for the rest of the rooms they were considered too simple. But today, when it's in vogue non-standard solutions and many people are already fed up with traditional curtains, roller blinds are used in all living quarters. And to make the appearance roller blinds less formal, they are combined with other types of curtains.

Modern ideas in the field of interior design make it possible to use roller blinds in any interior style:

• In a high-tech living room, roller shutters in the color of wet asphalt, as well as black or white, look great.
• Roller blinds of pale shades, only with a hint of color, are suitable for the style of minimalism.
• For the living room in the Japanese style, curtains are chosen from fabrics of natural natural colors, brown, green, and also bamboo.
• Roller shutters of bright colors will best fit into avant-garde interior styles such as modern and pop art. The main thing is not to forget, to support them with other elements of the same color: upholstery on furniture, decorative pillows.
• For classic interiors, roller shutters alone will not be enough. Dense roller blinds will have to be supplemented with tulle, and blinds made of transparent fabric with curtains.

They are especially popular, which differ from ordinary roller blinds in their ability to dose the natural light entering the room. Day-night curtains are made of two layers of fabric of different textures, consisting of alternating dense and transparent stripes. In the closed position, they look like a single canvas, and in the open position they form gaps and let the sun's rays through.

Kisei or thread curtains

- curtains made of dense rows of threads or ribbons. They are very decorative, flexible, easy to drape, look great as an independent window decor and can also be easily combined with other types of curtains.

Despite the airy structure, filament curtains are quite capable of creating sufficient shading for rooms that do not need one hundred percent protection from sunlight. Therefore, it is not surprising that when decorating halls and living rooms, designers are increasingly adopting them.

Under the word muslin hides a huge number of curtains that are very different in color and texture, but conditionally they can be divided into two types: simple and with solid decorative elements.

A simple muslin consists of twisted cotton, chenille or silk threads, monochromatic or multi-colored. Kisei with hard decorative elements are the same simple threads, but decorated with bugles, beads, sequins, shells, artificial butterflies or flowers.

Each time there are new decor options for muslin, and list all modern design ideas with these non-trivial curtains living room and hall is impossible. Here are just a few of them:

• In oriental Arabian interiors, from which filament curtains came to us, muslin of saturated bright colors with the addition of gold and silver threads looks best.
• In a high-tech living room, muslin with a metallic sheen, as well as black, white and the colors of wet asphalt, are appropriate.
• For halls in Provence and shabby chic style, a delicate snow-white muslin, decorated with bugles or artificial flowers, is suitable.
• For a Mediterranean living room, you can choose a muslin decorated with shells.
• For classic interiors, muslin of delicate pastel shades, playing the role of curtains, is best suited.

In addition, thread curtains hung over long curtains and beautifully draped look very impressive in almost all interiors.

Fashionable curtains 2016: current trends

The fashion for curtains, although not as changeable as high fashion, but it also has its own trends, which you should definitely know about when choosing a new thing for a room. For example, in 2016, at the peak of popularity, everything natural and natural. Fashion curtains were no exception! Not only natural fabrics are in trend, but also natural prints and colors. Among the main favorite materials: linen, cotton, silk, organza, satin. Linen is especially popular: it is practical, durable and unpretentious in care. Curtains made of bamboo, as well as combinations of natural and synthetic fabrics will also be relevant.

Solid color is another major trend in curtain design this year. Stylists are confident that with just one base shade, you can create character for an entire room. In light of this trend, the well-known rule for choosing curtains will be more relevant than ever: the lighter the walls, the brighter and richer the design of the windows, and vice versa. But this does not mean that in a room with white walls there is no place for a snow-white organza tulle. The fusion of curtains with the overall color scheme of the room is also welcomed by interior stylists.

And another trend that has been popular with designers for several seasons is single-layer. In other words, when decorating windows, it is fashionable to use either only curtains, or only tulle, but not both options at the same time.

Fashionable curtains 2016: current colors

Color is exactly what determines the nature of the curtains, and, therefore, the entire room. Right now in stylish trends simple natural shades dominate. Curtains of dark and cold colors are especially popular: blue, brown, green, gray, walnut. In particular, many designers advise choosing curtains of the blue-green range: they not only perfectly fit into almost any interior, but also help to refresh the room. For example, calm and soft curtains of olive, mint or emerald color are more suitable for the bedroom. And to make the living room or a large hall cozier, curtains in aqua or a shade of blue sky will help.

In addition, it will be relevant white color, which, in combination with the lightness of the material, creates the effect of weightlessness and helps to visually enlarge the space. Moreover, white can be not only tulle, but also the curtains themselves. The only caveat is that the material for white curtains should be light, for example, natural silk or cotton.

Fashionable curtain design 2016: stylish prints and colors

Although monotony is also among the main trends, it coexists quite peacefully with another fashion trend - curtains with bright and unusual prints. Firstly, the crazy 80s are in fashion, and this is fully reflected in interior design - eclecticism is in trend again! And along with it, fashionable colors of curtains of that time are gaining popularity. Among the most actual options: large flowers, stripes of different thicknesses, geometric patterns, futuristic prints.

Secondly, the theme of nature is also relevant. And this means that all the same flowers, various plants, imitations under the skin and fur, birds and animals, and even photographic printing with landscapes are the most desirable prints on fashionable curtains.

And thirdly, the current design of curtains in 2016 is decorative. This means that fashionable curtains do not so much have to fulfill their direct function - protection from direct sun rays and protection from prying eyes, how much to ask the stylistic decision of the room. Curtains with prints that repeat the pattern on the upholstery or patterns on the wallpaper will be very popular.

Actual styles of fashionable curtains

If we talk about styles, then among the main trends are volumetric curtains. Numerous folds, ruffles and layering of different fabrics help to make the room visually larger. Just keep in mind that such curtains should be made exclusively of light materials and in light colors. Otherwise, the effect will be the opposite.

Together with voluminous curtains, Roman and Japanese curtains will remain popular. The former are wide fabric strips that are folded using a special mechanism. Their length is adjustable and depends solely on your preferences. Roman blinds are a great option for a living room or bedroom in a minimalist style. Japanese curtains are fabric panels that move along the window like doors in a wardrobe. This option is suitable for an office, living room and even a nursery - Japanese curtains transmit light well, make it softer.

Eyelet curtains are also among the trends this year. They fit perfectly into the modern interior of a city apartment or country house... Smooth folds, descending from the ceiling to the floor, are especially relevant.

On a note! To achieve a similar effect and visually increase the height of the room, use cornices mounted on the ceiling.

By the way, about high ceilings. Light tulle on “invisible” profile cornices is in trend. Airy, flowing tulle can also be replaced with muslin curtains - synthetic threads that fit tightly to each other. Monochromatic threads and multi-colored options decorated with rhinestones, beads of different diameters and pebbles will also be relevant.

Curtains with swags and lambrequins are less common, but they are found this season. Most often they are used when decorating large rooms in a classic style. Distinctive feature such curtains can be called the use of one color and material for both curtains and lambrequins.

How to choose the right curtains?

Here are some tips to help you choose the right curtains for your room.

First, decide on the general style of the room:

• curtains with eyelets are suitable for a room in the style of minimalism, modern, hi-tech
• heavy curtains with lambrequins - perfect option for empire and baroque
• standard curtains and tulle look good with country style and eclecticism
• curtains with fabric tacks and floral motifs perfectly complement a Provence-style room
• muslin curtains - the choice for bold and extraordinary style solutions. Looks great in aristocratic design
• roman shades are good for minimalism and modern style

be sure to consider the size of the window itself, its location in the room. For example, dark windows are contraindicated for small windows. narrow curtains - they visually make windows smaller. If you really want a dark color scheme, then use Roman or Japanese curtains, which look harmonious on small windows. High windows and glass walls are best decorated with voluminous curtains with draperies. In addition, lambrequins are also suitable for such windows. If there are two or more windows on the same wall, then it is better to use plain curtains on the eyelets.

It is also important to consider and color range premises. We already mentioned the rule of contrast: the brighter the walls, the simpler the curtain design. But in some cases, it is allowed to use one shade for wall decoration and window decoration. For example, this option works well with white and some dark shades: purple, chocolate, gray. The main thing is that the colors dark wallpaper and curtains slightly differed from each other by literally 1-2 tones. Then the room will not look "flat" and boring. If the curtains and walls are of different shades, then the curtains must certainly overlap with furniture or decorative elements. It can be anything: a pattern, like on the drapery of furniture, one material with lamp shades, the same color with pillows or bedspreads.

Window decoration is the final touch in shaping the interior of any room. No one will argue with the fact that the design of the window decor will certainly affect the entire image of the room. Fashion does not stand still, it develops in all areas of our life and window decoration is no exception. Modern trends in the design of space as a whole tend to simplify, democracy. For the design of curtains and other textiles for windows, such trends were not in vain - some designers prefer not to drape window openings at all, providing the premises with the maximum amount of sunlight. But we understand that design techniques are not always compatible with the practical side of life, there are rooms in which it is difficult to do without window coverings. For example, in the bedroom, curtains play not only a decorative, but also a purely practical role - they prevent the penetration of sunlight at the right moment in situations.

But even those designers who offer to use window decor confirm that in this area we are moving towards minimalism, towards simplicity and functionality. Draping of windows in modern design projects is most often represented by simple, monochromatic solutions, without decorative elements and luxury. Even when decorating classic interiors and in the neoclassical style, we no longer see that triumph of wealth and luxury when draping windows, there is not so much fringe and tassels, natural fabrics are used, but not “flashy” about their value and status of the owners of the house.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with a selection of modern design projects for premises with various functional loads, when draping windows in which the latest trends in this area of \u200b\u200bhousing design were used. We hope that they will help you choose a practical, stylish and aesthetic option for decorating windows in your apartment or household.

Modern window drapes - choose the fabric

In order for the final appearance of the room to correspond to your idea, it is necessary to carefully consider not only the design of the curtains, but also to provide for such nuances as the choice of fabric for drapery and the model of the cornice. What kind of fabric to prefer - natural or artificial? Silk, linen, wool and cotton - natural fabrics are pleasant to the touch, but, as a rule, require a lot of effort in the manufacture of window décor and maintenance during operation. Artificial material is much easier to care for, not to mention the cost of fabric. Obviously, the more expensive the fabric for curtains and curtains, the higher the likelihood that you will not be able to wash it yourself and will have to use dry cleaning services.

The second question that will need to be resolved when choosing a decor for windows is to buy transparent or dense fabric? Tulle, veil and organza are some of the most popular options for transparent fabrics that perfectly transmit light, look weightless, light, airy. Usually curtains are made from such material, which are complemented with blackout curtains, but in modern design projects you can increasingly find drapery window openings only with a light fabric.

Also, curtains or even cambric curtains are used independently, they are less transparent and therefore can act in different functional roles. The densest material for sewing curtains is crepe-chiffon. Despite its density, the fabric looks light and can be used for curtains or curtains that fall on the floor.

The design of curtains and curtains will largely depend on whether the fabric is soft or hard. For example, organza creates volumetric, clear and even "sharp" folds, which are able to give not only window decoration, but also the image of the room as a whole structure and severity. But such curtains look better in spacious rooms, a small room with a similar window drapery will look ridiculous.

If you want a soft and pliable drape, use a veil that creates light and unobtrusive volume. For the most delicate window look, use chiffon to decorate window openings, it is great for long curtains that gather in soft folds to the floor.

Curtain design - matching the stylistic direction of the interior

Obviously, the design of the drapery of the windows should correspond to the stylistic decisions taken when forming the interior of the room. For a minimalist interior, cambric is more suitable - lightweight, but durable and almost opaque. Luxurious organza gives the room luster and solemnity. Elegant tulle is perfect for a romantic setting in a girl's room or complements the sensual interior of a parent's bedroom.

The modern style of interior design strives for simplicity and comfort, in which you can make the most of natural fabrics and decoration Materials... In the living room, bedroom, children's room and even in utilitarian rooms, you can increasingly find the simplest and most concise solutions for draping windows - roller blinds. As a rule, they are presented in monochromatic versions of natural colors, but there are also room designs that use printed fabric for window decoration.

Roller blinds and roman blinds are good in laconic solutions - you don't need to decorate them with ruffles or fringes. Their main purpose in the interior is to fulfill their direct tasks, which means to protect the room from sunlight in cases where it is necessary.

Curtains with lambrequins are gradually losing their excess decor and become examples of laconic and simple solutions... With their help, you can not only create original design decoration of windows, but also hide possible flaws in the decoration of the space near the window openings.

Curtains-screens, or they are also called Japanese, are great for decorating large panoramic windows and glass compartment doors. On the one hand, this decor does not interfere with the penetration of sunlight into the room, on the other hand, you completely protect the intimacy of the environment in the room, even when the light is on.

Eyelet curtains still do not leave the minds of modern designers. Their use is becoming less popular, but is still seen in modern bedroom and living room design projects. Steel or plastic rings, integrated into the fabric when sewing window draperies, provide comfortable and smooth movement of fabric along the curtain.

Window treatments color palette

Most homeowners know that a large pattern on curtains is only suitable for spacious rooms, for small rooms it is better to opt for a small print. Vertical stripes on the fabric will make your window visually taller, which means they will visually increase the height of the ceilings, the horizontal strip will act in width. If wallpaper with a print is used in the room, then it is better to choose a monochromatic version for curtains. Curtains and curtains with a pattern will look better in a room with plain walls and upholstery upholstered furniture.

Designers recommend, when choosing the color of the curtains, to use combinatorics with one of the interior elements - for example, in the living room it can be the upholstery of an armchair or fabric covers on decorative cushions. You can use shades of different intensity, but the same color.

In most modern design projects, you can find the use of exclusively white shades for the execution of veil or chiffon window draperies. But children's rooms and bedrooms for teens can be a glaring exception. This is where the use of light yellow would be appropriate. Turquoise or pistachio color translucent tulle

Curtains with a colorful, bright color will harmoniously look in the black and white interior of the room, which is so popular today. If glossy furniture facades were used in the room, then it is better to choose fabric with a matte surface for curtains.

Examples of window decoration in various rooms

In addition to the fact that rooms with different functional purposes use different design ideas when decorating, these rooms need a different approach in terms of the choice of drapery for the windows. In the living room of a private house, the windows of which overlook the backyard, there may be no curtains at all, but in the bedroom of a dwelling located in apartment building, curtains and blackout curtains are essential.

Living room

Gray is becoming one of the most popular design options for modern living rooms. This is due to the fact that shades of this color can bring many different moods to the interior, depending on the choice of intensity - from refined luxury to neutral tranquility. Blackout curtains in dark gray, complete with a crisp white veil, are ideal for homeowners who don't want to take risks and prefer a calm, traditional setting.

For an absolutely bright living room with monochromatic upholstery of upholstered furniture, you can use curtains with a large pattern, let them become the accent of the interior, the center of attraction for all eyes. If it turns out that the TV in the living room is located opposite the window, then in addition to choosing a color and pattern, you will need to attend to the acquisition of a very dense fabric, otherwise the light from the window will leave glare on the home theater screen.

For a living room, in the design of which elements of the loft style were used, it is better to leave the windows not draped or use the simplest version of the fabric in neutral color... Light, barely noticeable curtains or roller blinds that are laconic in shape will look appropriate.

Bedroom

Blackout roller blinds are ideal for the bedroom small size with one window. You will be able to prevent the penetration of sunlight into the room, but at the same time maintain the severity and conciseness of the modern interior of the room for sleeping and resting.

A frequent design trick when decorating a bedroom with textiles is the choice of the same color, and sometimes fabric, for draping windows and sleeping place... This combination of colors and textures helps create a more harmonious and balanced atmosphere in the sleeping and relaxation room.

If the curtains in the bedroom may not be at all, then for the curtains it is necessary to choose a dense fabric that does not transmit sunlight. You may need to fall asleep during the day, when the sun's rays literally flood the bedroom space with light - it's better to be able to resist this with thick curtains.

Heavy velvet or velor curtains in the bedroom will look appropriate and harmonious if the upholstery of the soft headboard of the berth is made of the same material.

A bedroom with a bay window is not an easy option for window decoration. In this case, you can use a combination of two curtain options and different colors. In the example that you will see below, the issue of draping the seating area in the bay window is solved by decorating the windows with roman shades, and zoning the boudoir segment by decorating the curtains with a print in a darker color scheme.

Another example of the original combination of window draperies in a semicircular bedroom is the use of translucent screen curtains and curtains with soft and light folds.

Children's room or teenager's bedroom

A room in which we can afford to give free rein to imagination, use a bright color or variegated print - a room for a teenager or a nursery. Children need bright accents much more than adults. But even in the nursery, it is better not to deviate from the classic rule of room decoration - "plain walls and curtains with a pattern and vice versa." Original, but at the same time, the curtains look harmonious, in which two main colors of wall decoration in the nursery are used.

Floral-print curtains will only look appropriate in the romantic setting of a girl's bedroom. Such premises have their own view of trends modern design and your own priorities are higher than fashion trends. Roses and cupids that have found shelter on curtains are best duplicated in the textile design of the bed or the decor of additional furniture to create a more harmonious interior.

Dining room

The choice of drapery for dining room windows largely depends on the room in which it is located - whether there are glass doors to the backyard, ordinary windows in the room or panoramic windows, whether the dining area is connected to other functional segments of the dwelling, such as the kitchen or living room.

Clear and structural folds of organza curtains will color the dining area, made with elements of classic style. In a modern interior, such window decor can become an original contrast concrete walls or brickwork... Usually, on the contrast of stylistic solutions, interesting, non-trivial interiors of rooms with different functional content are obtained.

Lace curtains or tulle with an ornate snow-white pattern, embroidery are rarely used in modern spaces, but they are ideal for creating a romantic setting.

Bathroom

In typical apartments, utilitarian rooms, as a rule, are devoid of a source of natural light, but private houses can boast of large and bright bathrooms, which may have more than one window. When planning the drapery of window openings in the bathroom, it is important to take into account the characteristics of this room - high humidity and temperature changes. In many ways, the choice of material for curtains will depend on whether there is a forced ventilation system in the room. For window decoration, it is better to opt for synthetic fabrics that you can wash yourself and often without problems.

At the same time, curtains and tulle can not be used at all, giving the room the opportunity to swim in the rays of sunlight, when this does not interfere with households or their guests.

An original visual effect can be achieved using the most traditional curtains for narrow windows, by hanging one canvas on each side of the two windows. Thus, there will be enough natural light in the room. And symmetry will be preserved, especially if the windows are located on both sides of the fireplace, which acts as the focal center of the room.

Curtains with lambrequins suitable for rooms with high ceilings and large windows. In a living room of a modest size, lambrequins will look out of place, visually reducing the height of the room. IN modern style even such textile constructions as curtains with lambrequins become simple and laconic - fringes and tassels are no longer used, additional window decoration is not needed. Besides original design window openings, with the help of lambrequins, you can hide some flaws in the design of windows or flaws in the decoration of the walls.

Roller blinds made of plain natural fabrics (cotton or linen) are in perfect harmony with the simple and laconic furnishings of a modern living room. For a room decorated with an obvious degree of minimalism, it is not easy to choose a window decor, but roller blinds and blinds do an excellent job not only with their primary functions, but also serve as a decor for window openings.
