Window in the bedroom: decoration and design

Windows are the eyes of the room, its soul and very essence. But in order for these beautiful allegories to correspond to reality, you need to correctly beat each window in the apartment. Window space, as one of the most advantageous places in a room, simply has no right to bad design. And the right design of the window in the bedroom can be the beginning of the stylistic triumph of the entire apartment.

Traditionally, the window is decorated with curtains, curtains and other textile decorations.

Making a window in the bedroom

The bedroom has two favorites - the bed and the curtains. They, like the stage and backstage, are inseparable participants in the design of any bedroom. The correct design of the window in the bedroom meets two principles: through the eyes of the window, the owners see everything - no one sees them. And elegance and beauty should be harmoniously inscribed in these practical tasks.

Skillfully selected curtains will be able to cope with such goals.

Material for curtains in the bedroom

Each material has its own set of qualities. The main task is to achieve a balance between your preferences and the requirements of the style of the room.

For instance:

• Organza, taffeta, cambric, silk, brocade - this is lightness, airiness and transparency. Beautiful folds and almost unlimited visibility of the landscape outside the window are their virtues.
• Wool, velvet, linen will give the bedroom privacy and comfort. Suitable for interiors in eco-style and country.

An important detail is the lining on the curtains. It protects the material from fading, prevents the accumulation of dust in the seams, helps to form beautiful folds, and improves sound absorption.

• Jute, bamboo, paper: roller blinds and blinds made from these materials will decorate the room in an Asian style.
• Polyester, cupra, nylon, viscose, polycotton, guipure, muslin, damask: a combination of synthetic and natural fabrics in curtains will allow you to adjust the level of light in the room and the feeling of lightness or density in the atmosphere in the bedroom.

The problem of choosing color, style and material is the key point in the theme. Analyze, weigh, decide. Just don't be fooled by promotions, discounts, great deals. Savings must be adequate, and in such cases a good choice is rather an exception to the rule.

bedroom curtain color

The color sympathies of the owners should be consistent with the general interior direction.

The most general tips for window color design can be as follows.

1. If contrast is the leading accent, then the color of the curtains should also support the rules of the game - be bright, but not stand out from the given color direction.
2. In the case of a monochrome design, preference should be given to curtains in approximately the same color range.
3. Light, transparent colors - all shades of blue, green, pink - will give the bedroom the appropriate features, create the effect of coolness and weightlessness.
4. Warm, deep, confident colors - a range of browns, noble grays, calm terracotta - maintain an atmosphere of calm and stability.
5. Dark colors create the effect of strict privacy and even monumentality. Beating such colors in the interior of the bedroom is not easy, as well as white.
6. The most "embedded" patterns in any interior can be geometry, monochrome, abstraction. Caution requires floral prints and large patterns. And although the latest fashion trends have a passion for large colors and futuristic prints, caution and skillful approach are the best curators of choice. The rhythm and motif of the ornament should not be aggressive and intrusive.

Tips for decorating a bedroom window

Having learned the main rule for choosing curtains - consonance with the main interior of the room - you can use a few simple tips to decorate the window in the bedroom.

• Determination of the optimal height of the eaves. Properly selected height of the eaves above the window is the key to success.Curtains should not get underfoot and drag along the floor, but they should not “hang” above the floor and seem short. The length should be noble: curtains to the floor or freely falling, flowing, forming a moderate fold on the floor.
• If the window has a complex shape, it is desirable that the cornice repeats it. Then the window decoration, even without any textile frills, will look unbanal.

• The corner bedroom implies warming in all ways, which means that the curtains can also contribute: thick long curtains will protect against drafts.
• Ceiling height is an important parameter that affects the design of the window. Curtains with a vertical print will visually increase the height, and a wide cornice or lambrequin will lower it.
• Directly proportional dependence of the saturation of the color of the draperies and the brightness of the walls: the curtains should be calmer, the brighter the walls in the bedroom.
• The harmonious combination of curtains and bedspreads on the bed is the right note in the interior of the bedroom.
• The classic pastel colors of the curtains will suit almost any interior and will solve the stylistic dilemma in cases where it is not easy to make a choice.

Curtains in the living room

Decorating a window in a living room follows the same basic rules as decorating a window in a bedroom.

Depending on the interior of the room, the window opening in the living room can be decorated with curtains of different styles.

Curtains in a classic style

Classic curtains are easily recognizable: decent materials, an abundance of draperies and accessories, a combination of shades and layering. A characteristic feature is sliding curtains, tulle and lambrequin.

Classics prefers noble materials: linen, cotton, silk. To simplify operation and care, combined fabrics are acceptable: viscose, polycotton, polyester. The fabric can be textured, embossed or embroidered.

• minimum decorative elements, maximum practicality;
• easy-care synthetic or mixed fabrics;
• unimpeded light penetration into the kitchen;
• lack of complex draperies and folds on the floor;
• the possibility of strict fixation of curtains in the cooking area.

A suitable option for curtains for a kitchen window can be pleated curtains, blinds or muslin.
