In interior design, as in fashion design, new fashion trends and what was relevant today may be hopelessly outdated tomorrow. This does not mean that in pursuit of fashion, we have to change wallpaper every 2-3 years and floor covering. To make the interior of the living room correspond to the spirit of the time, it is enough to buy new curtains. 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 give a lot of illustrative photos with examples.

Draperies 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-color curtains. In fact, such curtains are simply sewn from matter in two different colors. Due to this method of tailoring, it seems that some curtains are layered on others. It looks nice and stylish.

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

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

• A lush classic lambrequin will give the appearance of curtains and curtains gloss and status.
• A lambrequin in the form of a flip will soften and make the strict, even lines of Roman blinds and horizontal blinds less official.
• A bandeau in the form of an elongated narrow rectangle will emphasize the smooth soft shapes of 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 curtains, you can find your own model of lambrequin. 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; when assembled, they are assembled into even horizontal folds, which are obtained thanks to plastic and wooden slats sewn to their wrong side.

The photo shows an example of how to combine Roman blinds and classic curtains so that they look beautiful in a modern interior.

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

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

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

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

For living room in Japanese or ecological styles great 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 a ceiling string cornice.

Interiors in rustic style, such as English shabby chic, French Provence and American country will decorate Roman curtains with a floral print or a cage made of linen or thick cotton. True, this season a small print is not welcome, so it is better to choose larger flowers and a cage. Due to the fact that the folds on Roman curtains are even and rare, they do not distort the pattern.

For a small living room in which there is little daylight, Roman blinds are best suited, made of light and light plain fabric. They do not visually weigh down small room and won't draw too much attention to themselves. If you add such light curtains with transparent curtains, the room will look even more fresh and airy.

Thus, for any interior you can find "their" Roman blinds. But since their shape remains unchanged, experimenting with it will not work. Therefore, you can harmoniously fit them into the environment only by choosing models from fabrics of different textures and colors.

Austrian curtains

The only model of lifting curtains with a romantic character, emphasized by elegant draperies. The exception is French awnings. But still, their classic version implies static, and they began to be equipped with lifting control only recently.

"Austrian women" are draped only in the lower part of the paintings, 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 in 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 the main curtains.

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

• For English shabby chic, Austrians made of plain cotton or silk in 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 an American country-style room, choose satin or cotton in small checks or stripes.

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

Japanese fabric panels

― the sliding curtains consisting of the rectangular, rigidly stretched fabric cloths. Outwardly, they resemble wardrobe doors and move in a horizontal plane according to the same principle. The tension of the canvases is provided by a weighting bar threaded through the drawstring in their lower part.

Despite the ascetic appearance, Japanese curtains are able to create in the living room no less cozy and comfortable atmosphere than curtains with lush draperies. At the same time, their length can be both up to the window sill and up to the floor. The latter option for the living room and hall is preferable.

The 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, plain, with photo printing. The choice depends on what role you give them in the interior. Whether your room needs full shading or curtains are enough for it, which only soften the daylight slightly, will they be its main accent or their purpose is to create a backdrop for the decor.

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

• A combination of fabrics 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 up to 10 canvases of different colors and textures can be placed in front of it. By moving them along the cornice, arranging them in a row, one after another or with an overlap, you can endlessly play with light, shadow and color.
• One of the latest fashion trends is photo curtains. Since Japanese models are shaped like a 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 in the hall have been replenished with another interesting and practical variety - 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 the window sashes. In the first case, when lowered, it closes the window completely along 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 decorated windows mainly in the kitchen and bathroom, and for the rest of the rooms they were considered too simple. But today, when in fashion non-standard solutions and traditional curtains are already fed up with many people, roller blinds are used in all living quarters. And to make an 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 look great in the color of wet asphalt, as well as black or white.
• Roller blinds in pale shades, with only a hint of color, are suitable for the minimalist style.
• To the living room in Japanese style choose curtains from fabrics of natural colors, brown, green, and bamboo.
• In avant-garde interior styles, such as modern and pop art, blinds of bright colors will best fit in. 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. Thick roller blinds will have to be supplemented with tulle, and transparent fabric roller blinds with curtains.

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

Kisei or thread curtains

― curtains from dense ranks of threads or tapes. They are very decorative, plastic, easy to drape, look great as an independent window decor and are also easily combined with other types of curtains.

Despite the airy structure, the curtains of the thread are quite capable of creating shading that is quite sufficient 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 taking them into service.

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

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

Every time new decor options for kisei appear, and it is impossible to list all the modern ideas for decorating the living room and hall with these non-trivial curtains. Here are just a few of them:

• In oriental Arab 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 is appropriate, as well as black, white and the colors of wet asphalt.
• For halls in the style of Provence and shabby chic, a delicate snow-white muslin, decorated with glass beads 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, which plays 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.

Curtains made of bamboo, as well as combinations of natural and synthetic fabrics, will also be relevant.

Solid color is another major trend in this year's curtain design. Stylists are confident that with just one base shade, you can create the character of an entire room. In light of this trend, the well-known rule for choosing curtains will also 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 snow-white organza tulle. Merging 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 more than a season 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: actual colors

Color is exactly what determines the nature of the curtains, and, therefore, the entire room. Now in stylish trends dominated by simple natural shades. Curtains of dark and cold tones are especially popular: blue, brown, green, gray, walnut. In particular, many designers advise choosing blue-green curtains: they not only fit perfectly 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 a bedroom. And curtains of color will help to make a living room or a large hall more comfortable. sea ​​wave or a shade of blue sky.

In addition, it will be relevant White color, which, combined with the lightness of the material, creates the effect of weightlessness and helps to visually enlarge the space. Moreover, not only tulle can be white, 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 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 back in trend! And with it, fashionable colors of curtains of that time are gaining popularity. Among the most current 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 of leather and fur, birds and animals, and even photo printing with landscapes are the most desired prints on fashionable curtains.

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

Actual styles of fashionable curtains

If we talk about styles, then among the main trends are voluminous curtains. Numerous folds, frills and layers 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 opposite.

Together with voluminous curtains, Roman and Japanese curtains will remain popular. The first 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 closet. This option is suitable for an office, a living room and even a nursery - Japanese curtains transmit light well and make it softer.

Curtains on the grommets are also among the trends of this year. They fit perfectly into the modern interior of a city apartment or country house. Particularly relevant are even tails, descending from the ceiling to the floor.

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

Speaking of high ceilings. The trend is light tulle on the "invisible" profile cornices. Airy, flowing tulle can also be replaced with muslin curtains - synthetic threads that fit snugly together. Both monophonic threads and multi-colored options, decorated with rhinestones, beads of different diameters and pebbles, will be relevant.

Curtains with swags and lambrequins are less common, but they are found this season. Most often they are used in the design of large rooms in classical style. hallmark such curtains can be called the use of the same 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, high-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 will perfectly complement the Provence style room
• muslin curtains are the choice for bold and extraordinary style decisions. Looks great in aristocratic design
• roman blinds 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 reduce windows. If you really want a dark color scheme, then use Roman or Japanese curtains, which look harmoniously on small windows. Tall 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 eyelets.

It is also important to take into account color scheme premises. We have already mentioned the rule of contrast: the brighter the walls, the simpler the design of the curtains. 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 literally by 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 the furniture or decor elements. It can be anything: a pattern, like on furniture drapery, one material with lampshades, the same color with pillows or a bedspread.

Window decoration is the finishing touch in shaping the interior of any room. No one will argue with the fact that the design of window decor will certainly affect the entire image of the room. Fashion does not stand still, it develops in all spheres of our life and window decor is no exception. Modern tendencies in the design of the space as a whole, they strive for simplification, 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 drapes. For example, in the bedroom, curtains perform not only a decorative, but also a purely practical role - they prevent the penetration of sunlight in situations appropriate to the moment.

But even those designers who suggest using window decor confirm that in this area we are moving towards minimalism, simplicity and functionality. Window drapery in modern design projects is most often represented by simple, monophonic solutions, without decorative elements and luxuries. Even when decorating classic interiors and in the neoclassical style, we no longer see that triumph of wealth and luxury when draping windows, there are not so many fringes and tassels, natural fabrics are used, but not “screaming” about their value and the 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, in which the latest trends in this area of ​​​​home design were used when draping windows. We hope that they will help you choose a practical, stylish and aesthetic option for decorating windows in your apartment or household.

Modern window drapery - choose a fabric

In order for the final look of the room to match your idea, it is necessary to carefully consider not only the design of the curtains, but also 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 making window decor and care during operation. Artificial material is much easier to care for, not to mention the cost of the 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 by thick curtains, but in modern design projects, drapery can be increasingly found. window openings only with light fabric.

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

The design of curtains and curtains will largely depend on whether the fabric is soft or hard. For example, organza creates voluminous, clear and even “prickly” folds that can give not only the design of the window, but also the image of the room as a whole, structure and rigor. 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 flexible drapery, use a veil that creates a light and unobtrusive volume. For the most delicate image of a window, use the decoration of window openings with chiffon, it is great for long curtains that gather in soft folds to the floor.

Curtain design - matching the stylistic direction of the interior

It is obvious that the design of window drapery should correspond to the stylistic decisions made when shaping the interior of the room. Batiste is more suitable for a minimalist interior - light, but durable and almost opaque. Luxurious organza gives the room gloss and solemnity. Elegant tulle is perfect for a romantic setting in a girl's room or complements the sensual interior of the 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 utility rooms, you can increasingly find the simplest and most concise solutions for window drapery - roller blinds. As a rule, they are presented in solid natural colors, but there are also interior designs that use printed fabric for window decoration.

Roller blinds and Roman blinds are good in concise solutions - you do not 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 gradually lose their redundant decor and become examples of concise and simple solutions. With their help, you can not only create original design window decor, but also to 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 sliding doors. On the one hand, such a decor does not prevent the penetration of sunlight into the room, on the other hand, you completely protect the intimacy of the situation in the room even when the light is on.

Curtains on the grommets 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 convenient and unhindered movement of the fabric along the eaves.

Window treatments color palette

Most homeowners know that a large pattern on the 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, a horizontal strip will act in width. If the room uses wallpaper with a print, then it is better to choose a plain version for curtains. Curtains and curtains with a pattern will look better in a room with plain walls and upholstery. upholstered furniture.

When choosing the color of the curtains, designers recommend using combinatorics with one of the interior elements - for example, in the living room it can be the upholstery of an armchair or the fabric of covers on decorative sofa 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 voile or chiffon window draperies. But children's rooms and bedrooms for teenagers can be a notable exception. It is here that the use of light yellow will be appropriate. Turquoise or pistachio color translucent tulle

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

Examples of window design 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 choosing window draperies. In the living room of a private house, the windows of which overlook the backyard, there may not be curtains at all, but in the bedroom of a dwelling located in apartment building, curtains and blackout curtains are a must.

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 into the interior, depending on the choice of intensity - from exquisite luxury to neutral tranquility. Blackout curtains in charcoal gray, complete with a crisp white veil, are ideal for risk-averse homeowners who prefer a quiet, traditional setting.

For an absolutely bright living room with plain upholstery of upholstered furniture, you can use curtains with a large pattern, let them become an accent of the interior, the center of attraction for all looks. If it turned 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 take care of acquiring a very dense fabric, otherwise the light from the window will leave glare on the home theater screen.

For the living room, which was decorated with elements of the loft style, it is better to leave the windows not draped or use the simplest fabric option in neutral color. Light, barely noticeable curtains or laconic roller blinds will look appropriate.

Bedroom

Thick 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 retain the severity and conciseness of the modern interior of the room for sleeping and relaxing.

A frequent design technique when decorating a bedroom with textiles is the choice of the same color, and sometimes fabric, for draping windows and bed. Such a color and texture union helps to create a more harmonious and balanced atmosphere in the room for sleeping and relaxing.

If there may be no curtains in the bedroom at all, then for curtains it is necessary to choose a dense fabric that does not let in sunlight. You may need to fall asleep during the daytime, when the sun's rays literally fill the bedroom space with light - it is better to be able to counter this with thick curtains.

Heavy velvet or velor curtains in the bedroom will look appropriate and harmonious if the upholstery of the upholstered headboard of the bed 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 options for curtains 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 windows with Roman blinds, and zoning the boudoir segment by decorating curtains with a print in a darker color scheme.

Another example of an 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 let our imagination run wild, use a bright color or a colorful print - a room for a teenager or a nursery. Children need more than adults bright accents. But even in a nursery, it is better not to deviate from the classic rule for decorating rooms - “plain walls and curtains with a pattern and vice versa.” Originally, but at the same time, curtains look harmonious, in which two primary colors of wall decoration in the nursery are used.

Curtains with a floral print will only look appropriate in a romantic setting in a girl's bedroom. Such premises have their own view on trends modern design and own priorities become higher than fashion trends. Roses and cupids that have found shelter on the 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 the dining room windows largely depends on what room it is located in - whether there are glass doors for access to the backyard, ordinary windows in the room or panoramic windows, whether the dining area is connected to other functional segments of the home, such as a kitchen or living room.

Clear and structural folds of organza curtains will be the color of the dining area, made with elements of classical style. In a modern interior, such window decor can become an original contrast concrete walls or brickwork. Usually, in contrast to 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 are ideal for creating a romantic setting.

Bathroom

In typical apartments, utilitarian rooms, as a rule, are deprived 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 features 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.

Curtain Design Options for a Modern Living Room

The modern style of interior design strives for simplicity and conciseness. Even to some minimalism. At the same time, the design should not lose in terms of convenience and comfort, the decoration of the room plays an important role. And the creation of a warm and inviting atmosphere is directly related to the textiles used in the living room space and the way it is presented. , flowing in straight, light folds - a fail-safe option for draping a modern room. At the same time, curtains and tulle can not be used at all, giving the room the opportunity to bathe in the rays of sunlight when this does not interfere with the household or their guests.

An original visual effect can be achieved using the most traditional curtains for narrow windows, hanging one sheet on each side of 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 modest size, lambrequins will look out of place, visually reducing the height of the room. IN modern style even such textile designs as curtains with lambrequins become simple and concise - fringe and tassels are no longer used, additional window decoration is not needed. Apart from original design window openings, with the help of lambrequins, you can hide some flaws in the design of windows or flaws in wall decoration.

Roller blinds from 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.

It makes sense to use thin printed rolls in combination with plain blackout curtains. Such window decor will harmoniously complement a calm, not flashy in terms of color schemes, living room in colors of natural origin.
