Their advantage is that they make the window sill accessible, which can serve as an additional shelf. They are not suitable for all styles, for washing they need to be released from the lifting mechanism. The Austrian model is similar to the Roman ones, but is suitable for creating a more delicate look with flounces and ruffles.

Gone are the days when tulle was the ultimate dream. Beautiful curtains today can be made from various types of fabrics (natural and artificial), bamboo and even plastic.

Material selection

When choosing material for kitchen curtains, it is better to give preference to practical materials that do not require scrupulous care. Splashes and stains of grease, soot, specific food odors - they become the main problem for curtains, forcing them to be washed frequently. The right fabric in this case will be easy to wash without losing shape and color, have dirt and dust repellent properties, and not absorb food flavors. For the same purpose, heavy, dense materials should be abandoned.

Natural fabrics (linen, cotton, silk, satin)

The classic version of the beautiful and elegant decoration of the window opening. Perfect for Provencal and country style solutions, as well as appropriate in a classic kitchen design. The naturalness of materials and environmental friendliness are the main advantages of curtains made from natural fabrics, which are pleasant to look at. They are pleasant to the touch, hypoallergenic, well transmit light and air. But you have to pay a rather high price for beauty and naturalness - they are not cheap. Cons of natural materials and their impracticality - high sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, detergents and machine wash. Made of thin cotton or linen, natural models wear out rather quickly and lose their attractive appearance.

Cheerful color scheme

Synthetic curtains (nylon, viscose, acetate, polyester, synthetic organza)

Despite their kinship with chemistry, short modern curtains made from such materials are widely used to frame windows. First of all, the attractiveness of synthetic curtains is due to their low price and wide availability. They are also endowed with a number of advantages: durable, wear-resistant, do not wrinkle and do not shrink when washed, resistant to fire and fading in the sun. However, due to the characteristics of the material, synthetic models are more electrified and attract dust particles to themselves faster - they have to be washed several times more often.

Non-standard materials (bamboo, plastic)

Curtains made of atypical materials look fresh and interesting, attracting increased attention. Made of bamboo, they will successfully complement shabby chic, country and Provencal interiors, while plastic ones will help create an integral atmosphere of modern kitchens. They are strong and durable, but in rare cases they may not be practical enough due to the difficulties in caring for them.

Color

The color scheme of kitchen curtains as a whole is limited only by the taste and preferences of a particular person. But in order to avoid mistakes and choose the curtains that are suitable for the color scheme, you should get acquainted with the selection options:

1. Consonant combination. Design in a single color key: in this case, the color of finishing materials, furniture, textiles and decor should match it. For example, beige tones are perfect for golden, yellowish, pale orange and various shades of brown;
2. A game of contrast. Curtains are selected in a color that is different from the tone of the walls (in we choose their design, but - color) or furniture, but at the same time in harmony with the main color scheme. Attractive combinations - classic, green / yellow and their shades, blue / red, milky / brown;
3. Independent interior unit. In this case, the curtains act as a color accent of the space, the most striking design element. So, orange or green will successfully fit into;
4. Room style. Each of them is characterized by a special color palette that is different from the others. So, country is unthinkable without light textiles in pastel shades, with floral patterns or stripes. High-tech allows the use of only a cold range of shades, and the classics are supportive of plain materials or combinations of 2-3 colors in one textile ensemble. Combinations of sand, milky, beige colors are considered a universal color solution, equally suitable in any style;
5. Area and layout. Happy owners of large premises can afford absolutely any tone in decoration and decor. At the same time, owners of more modest areas have to go for tricks, visually increasing the space with the help of color. Materials of muted lavender, pearl, blue, light green and, of course, white colors can help with this;
6. illumination. If the windows face the sunny side and during the day there is sufficient natural light, you can select models of dark shades. Otherwise, it is desirable to stop at translucent, transmitting as much light as possible.

When deciding on the choice of shades, you need to remember that warm natural colors, natural colors will fill the kitchen space with family warmth and give comfort, cold ones will add rigor and formality to the room.

Style

All the variety of species can be combined into two groups in style - traditional and modern design:

1. Traditional. Familiar swing curtains, often combined with tulle. They have two varieties - curtain fabrics of urban and rural styles;

   Urban. A shortened version of simple long curtains on the eaves, light and quite elegant. They are usually made from natural materials and can be either plain or printed;

   rustic. They evoke memories of cute rural houses, therefore they are widely used in Provence, country and shabby chic interiors. Their simple design includes a frill at the top of the window and two short curtains attached directly to the sashes. Such curtains are convenient, practical and unpretentious in care. So, window curtains can not be opened during the day, the light from the remaining opening will be quite enough. They do not close the window sill, freeing up another possible work area, which owners of modest kitchens will appreciate..

2. Modern. A dining area made in a modern interior will be decorated with or, as well as various types of blinds - vertical, horizontal, pleated. Such models are quite spectacular and functional, which is confirmed by their wide demand, variety of design and color schemes.

5. Color and design. For a modest kitchen, it is advisable to select light fabrics, plain or with a simple unobtrusive ornament. Bright and complex design curtains are appropriate when the interior is designed in light pastel colors. A narrow room will be visually expanded by models with horizontal stripes, and vertical stripes will solve the problem of low ceilings. A cold palette of colors (gray, blue, blue, pink) will make the atmosphere of the "southern" kitchen more comfortable, and warm shades - from beige to yellow and orange - will warm the "northern". It is advisable to choose the color of the curtains so that it harmonizes with the palette characteristic of the chosen interior style. So, Provence and country are inconceivable without natural natural shades and rustic motifs - checks, peas, embroidery, lace. Classic ones require rigor and simplicity combined with excellent quality;
6. Decoration of a large window / with a balcony door. It is better to hang a very wide window with several canvases, and not one. Is there a balcony? – Shown here are 2 Roman curtains, one above the window, the other on the balcony door.

Small cafe style curtains

The fashion for curtain-cafe kitchens came to modern interiors from Europe. In order to hide bistro visitors from prying eyes, while spending a small amount of fabric, the Europeans closed the windows only halfway with curtains. They were also decorated in village houses.

The upper part was covered by an additional short cut, which today could be called a lambrequin. Together they formed a very sweet and charming composition.

Peculiarities

First you need to decide what role the curtains will play in your kitchen. If a purely decorative role, then, in principle, you don’t have to think much when choosing them - visual characteristics, such as color and design, will be enough.

Another thing is if the curtains should be of some practical use. For example, protect from bright light or translucence. In this case, the choice of curtains should be approached with all responsibility. Curtains can help visually adjust any room, hide the decorative imperfections of the kitchen or dining room as well.

Styles and patterns

Curtains for the kitchen are very difficult to choose. It is necessary to take into account the shape of the window, and the interior of the room, and the color scheme. But, however, the most important are the curtains themselves, including their style. The ideal option is a combination of transparent light fabrics with heavy curtains or curtains and approximately the same shades.

• Pleated blinds and blinds. This is a modern and original option for the kitchen, because such curtains do not take up much space and look very neat and concise. Blinds can be not just plain, but also in other different shades, with or without prints. They block out sunlight and are easily adjustable.

Japanese curtains can easily be called relatives of blinds, because they are thicker curtains with fabric panels. Most often, blinds, pleated blinds and Japanese curtains are presented in size up to the windowsill.

• roller blinds- These are light kitchen structures for protection from light. They are interesting in that they are completely picky in care and are suitable even for the smallest kitchenette. In the case of roller blinds, it is very easy to play with color and material, as well as texture. There are several types of roller blinds - long, with a cassette (dust protection), roller blinds on brackets, double roller blinds, mini-roller blinds, corner ones.

• Curtains for windows with a bay window - bay window curtains, - improve the illumination of the room. After all, a bay window is a protruding part of a wall, rectangular or round; she often "eats" part of the world.

• Arch- an interesting design solution, both in the case of a window and a doorway. The form itself stands out, and the opportunity to embellish it a little more should not be missed. Curtains on the arch can be on one side (one-sided), threads or mesh (the so-called "noodles"), asymmetric, or a single canvas. If you want to add luxury - choose curtains with a lambrequin, it will look very expensive and chic.

• There is also a special style of curtains - "Day Night". These are, as a rule, roller blinds, consisting of transparent (mesh) and dense fabric alternating strips, which allows you to adjust the doses of light. It is very similar to blinds, but only here you can completely darken the window, only by installing dense strips next to it with one movement of the chain.

Colors and prints

When choosing curtains, you need to take into account both the individual color preferences of households and some psychological aspects. Color affects the mood of a person, his psycho-emotional state. The choice of color for any piece of furniture must be taken responsibly - including curtains.

For example, often too bright colors can simply cut eyes, strain - such curtains will turn the kitchen not into a corner of coziness and comfort, but into a small branch of hell in your apartment. Therefore, we advise you to be very careful about the characteristics of colors. According to the color wheel, all colors can be divided into two groups: bright warm and calmer cold. The former are mainly red, orange, yellow shades, and the latter are blue, green, purple and many derivatives. Let's analyze the most popular.

Yellow is considered the color of happiness - the sun, fun, but a large amount of it can strain the eye. Yellow is a great option for those who think outside the box; the only thing is, yellow should not be too bright. Curtains of some muted yellow shade will set you in a positive mood and cheer you up.

Red curtains, like black ones, should be treated with caution. You can choose curtains with a splash of any of these shades, but you should not take a pure red or pure black canvas. According to experts, the abundance of these colors in the interior can lead to excessive anxiety and nervous excitement, and the black color, moreover, "eats" the sunny color. However, it is red in the right dosages that can give you self-confidence, set you in an optimistic mood and give energy. The main thing is to have a little of it. As for the advantages of black curtains, this is undoubtedly conciseness.

The combination of black and white has always been in fashion, and will definitely look stylish in any kitchen. Patterns of any other color on a black background will look very interesting - as well as on white, by the way. White color will visually add light, expand the room. It is associated with peace and purity, energy. If you are in doubt, do not know what color curtains to choose - take pure white or with patterns, two-tone with white.

If you are a fan of extraordinary solutions in the interior, take a closer look at purple, blue, lilac, turquoise or light green colors. They will perfectly complement the kitchen, made in soothing cold colors. These colors are based on various mixtures of blue and green with each other, which means they evoke calmness, serenity and harmony. These are ideal options for residents of a noisy metropolis.

But burgundy curtains, combining seemingly aggressive pure red and calm, noble brown, will be an ideal option for a working kitchen. Color adjusts to the working mood and helps to focus. The same applies to brown - the only thing when it comes to brown curtains, you should give the choice in the direction of light brown shades, while dark ones should be used with caution. Brown curtains can be a real highlight of the room.

Beige or gray curtains will look very interesting. They are calm and peaceful, perfectly transmit light and do not strain the eyes. And there is a huge variety of gray tones at all - pearl, ashen, silver ...

An excellent solution would be curtains in two colors. They will not let you get bored, and if you choose any two of your favorite colors, they can completely cheer you up. But remember - it is best to combine warm colors with warm ones, and cold ones, respectively, with cold ones. For example, light green curtains with a green curtain.

If you are a fan of various prints and patterns, then pay attention to the cage - it is always relevant and looks very neat both on large windows and on small windows. The same applies to the striped pattern - vertical or horizontal, it is concise and stylish. Vertical stripes will visually lengthen windows, while horizontal stripes, on the contrary, will make them a little wider. The floral pattern is suitable for lovers of, so to speak, grandmother's classics - everyone in childhood probably had curtains with flowers, small or large, hung on the windows. Curtains with a print will visually enlarge the room.

fabrics

A very important role in the choice of curtains is played by the fabric from which they are made. It, first of all, determines tactile sensations (soft-hard, pleasant-unpleasant to the touch). Secondly and most importantly, it is a guarantee that the curtains will not tear a week after “wearing” or during the next wash. The choice of fabric should be taken as seriously as the color - perhaps even more seriously. The fabric should keep its shape, not cause difficulties when washing or cleaning.

As a rule, curtains are sewn from organza, linen, voile, mesh, lace, chiffon, patchwork. The most original buyers choose knitted or filament. Let's analyze each option separately.

If we are talking about the design of the kitchen, then you should forget about velvet, brocade and tapestry. These fabrics are completely impractical for dining rooms, they are heavy and easily get dirty, respectively, they are poorly washed. Although tapestry and velvet are exquisite and undeniably beautiful fabrics, they are best hung in the bedroom, library or living room. Silk in the kitchen can also look a little out of date and completely impractical.

Organza. This is a translucent fabric that shimmers in the sun. Perfect for rooms that need to add light. Moreover, organza has a low cost and a huge color palette, which makes it more than affordable for all segments of the population. But over time, organza loses its elasticity and becomes less durable. Along with organza, an excellent option for curtains in the kitchen will be satin. This is a fabric where cotton or silk threads are tightly intertwined, have a characteristic sheen.

There is another fabric that is very similar in properties to organza, but a little denser than it - this is a veil. Veil curtains shimmer pleasantly in the sun. They are weightless and light, and are suitable for window decoration in both artsy rooms and home kitchens.

Satin curtains add luxury to the space. This is a fabric with a smooth shiny or semi-shiny side. Even though they are a great option for the living room or bedroom, in the kitchen, perhaps everyone will like them.

Such a word as "tulle" is familiar to all of us. As a rule, tulle often goes in addition to curtains made of denser fabric, but it is also used in solo. Tulle is a thin transparent fabric, sometimes with a pattern. Curtains made of tulle are a great addition to the interior, including the interior of the kitchen.

linen fabrics- the most suitable for true guardians of nature, because the material is 100% linen. Linen curtains look best in a light interior, but in a dark one they will help create an interesting accent on the windows. However, linen does not tolerate bright decor - in combination with it, linen curtains look a little wild. Despite all the advantages, flax is quite capricious. Natural linen, like cotton, cannot be washed in hot water or bleached. They need to be ironed immediately after washing, otherwise they will shrink.

Cotton curtains- a great alternative to linen curtains, because they are in many ways similar in quality, properties and composition. Cotton is also easy to dye, and therefore cotton curtains can be found in different shades and prints. It has excellent absorbing abilities and is indispensable in warm weather, very soft to the touch. Such curtains are quite practical and resistant to wear, and mercerized cotton is considered to be the strongest.

Chiffon curtains will add peace and tranquility to the room.

For lovers of something more interesting, there are lace curtains. They add a certain comfort to the room, a feeling of “softness” and security. Curtains are made both from a single lace fabric, and from its fragments. Lace is easy to pair with some translucent or sheer fabrics - tulle or voile, for example.

There are also several varieties of lace that differ from each other mainly in pattern:

1. Brabant- lace with relief, as a rule, protruding ornament;
2. Torchon– coarse weaving, machine;
3. Chantilly- the opposite of torchon, elegant silk weaving;
4. Guipure- the most famous type of weaving, characterized by transparency and neat patterns;
5. alencon- lacy flowers or leaves on a grid.

Despite the apparent lightness, filament curtains cannot be considered purely decorative. Otherwise, they can be called kisei, and for the first time they appeared in the countries of the Ancient East. Yes, the rows of threads do not look so serious, but, in fact, they are simply indispensable in hot weather, because they perfectly pass air and create a pleasant coolness. If you live in a hot or warm climate, then filament curtains are just right for you - and they can also be used in gazebos or in the country.

Mesh curtains are an excellent option for the warm season, because it is then that the problem of ventilation is more relevant than ever. The mesh can be large or small, and the ideal place for mesh curtains is a balcony or a huge kitchen window. And for ethnic interiors, this is an indispensable detail of the interior.

So we got to the most extraordinary and popular lately fabric, or rather, the technique of sewing curtains. This is patchcork. From English, the word patchwork is translated as "work with flaps." Quilts and plaids are often made using the technique of combining patches, but curtains are no exception. The most amazing thing is that patchwork style curtains can be either made with your own hands or bought ready-made, and there are a huge number of models. Most often, such curtains are used in oriental or light weightless interiors.

When choosing fabric for curtains, you should also pay attention to some patterns:

1. If your kitchenette is small, choose small, neat curtains accordingly - long and massive curtains will only make the room heavier.
2. If your windows are located on the sunny side, choose curtains for them made of thick fabric - so that on hot sunny days they do not let in light. Cover the shady side with lighter fabrics that let in the sun's rays.
3. Please note that some fabrics are translucent. For example, for people living on the first floors, it is better to choose thick curtains that are not translucent even with the lights on. If you live on the top floor and you do not have window neighbors, then you can indulge in light fabrics.
4. Before buying, expose the curtain to the light to see how the fabric looks in different lighting conditions. The fabric, again, should not shine through; look at it from afar, from different angles. Take the fabric from one roll to eliminate the possibility of the slightest difference in shades.
5. Care of curtains - care of the fabric from which they are made. The fabric should not accumulate dust, dirt and odors, but should be easy to wash - especially in the case of home washing. It is desirable that they do not sit down and do not crumple, they are easily ironed. If you, of course, have the opportunity to dry-clean the curtains, then you can skip this point - but always remember that not all stains and odors are easy to remove.

How to choose the right type of window

Curtains should fit the interior of the room - this is the first thing. Colors, styles, perhaps location with other objects should be combined, but one should not forget about such an important point as the window itself. Windows come in many shapes and types, and sometimes finding the perfect curtains for your window type can be difficult. The first step is to decide what kind of window you have. It is very simple to do this - take a closer look at what shape it is and measure the dimensions.

For example, you should not choose massive curtains for a small window - they will “eat up” even more space and visually reduce the window, block the light, which is already small. Both heavy curtains - even with canopies - and neat elegant ones are suitable for a large window. It all depends on how your kitchen is styled.

Rectangular windows are the most undemanding. Most often in old or new buildings, windows are in the form of a slightly elongated square, and you may already know that no special effort is required to match the curtains to a rectangular window. Only one aspect can be singled out - if the window is slightly larger than it is long, then you should not visually lengthen it with curtains. But you can slightly increase its width. It works and vice versa - horizontally located windows like to be slightly raised due to the length of the curtains. It is quite easy to do this - most often it turns out somehow by itself.

For kitchens with a low ceiling, you should choose curtains in a horizontal or vertical strip - this will visually raise the ceiling. For huge rooms, choose dark tones of curtains - they will make the room a little smaller and add coziness, make the atmosphere more comfortable and harmonious.

Curtains for summer cottages should be light - both in appearance and in size. Leave voluminous frills for the hall, living room or bedroom in a huge metropolis.

Also in nature, such a moment as protection from insects - mosquitoes, mosquitoes, as well as strong wind or sun is relevant.

If you have a gazebo or veranda, it would be advisable to opt for a water-repellent or waterproof fabric - in case of rain, this will come in handy.

For a light kitchen, both dark and light colors of curtains are suitable. It all depends on your personal preferences and the design of the room.

How to decorate a window: styles

Curtains, like other interior items, can often be attributed to certain styles. When choosing curtains for the kitchen, you should pay attention to the style in which the room is decorated. Curtains are best chosen based on this.

• Classic. The classic style is ideal for large kitchens. These can be, for example, long curtains with translucent tulle in discreet shades, in harmony with walls, floors, furniture and ceilings. One of the main features of classic curtains is their length. As a rule, they are quite long, so they are not suitable for small kitchen spaces. In this case, it is better to opt for curtains that do not cover the window sill.

• Minimalism or high-tech will be chosen by people who love conciseness and lightness. High-tech style is characterized by clear, but not heavy lines, rectangular shapes. Only grommets and cornices are used here as decoration, which unloads the room a little. True perfectionists will appreciate blinds, Japanese and roller blinds - all this also applies to high-tech style.

As for minimalism, it is this style that is ideal for kitchens decorated in restrained colors. As a rule, minimalist curtains have white, black, gray or pastel colors, sometimes they combine various contrasting shades - but also soft ones. However, you can forget about prints or decorations.

• If you have ever been to Provence, then you have an idea of ​​what curtains made in the style of this French republic look like. This is a small cell or a vertical strip, roses or poppies, a simple cut and pastel colors, natural fabrics. Curtains in Provence style can decorate the kitchen of a gentle or elegant lady, give the room coziness and unpretentious beauty. The ideal solution would be to combine curtains with other rag interior items - tablecloths, towels or napkins.

• Curtains in the style of Morocco blends perfectly with the kitchen in a kind of casual style; with hand-assembled furniture, sewn tablecloths and fresh flowers in vases. Moroccan curtains combine East and West, the trends of both cultures. Bright, incongruous colors, textures and flashy details are exactly what characterizes this style.

• Curtains in modern style - curtains, close in appearance to nature. Usually the patterns on such curtains are curvilinear, complex and asymmetrical, together they create wonderful weaves. Wavy, botanical, flowing. Most often, Art Nouveau curtains are bright and rich, but not contrasting - the shades are close to natural. A sense of proportion is very important here. Modern is ideal for a green kitchen, blue or pastel yellow.

It will be very bold to choose curtains with photo elements. These can be photographs that are completely incompatible with the kitchen - American sights or cats.

• Country style curtains otherwise you can call curtains in a rustic style. They are characterized by bright colors, large or small floral patterns, geometric shapes in the drawings. Cornices and pelmets are a great addition to country-style curtains, especially if the latter are small and include various ruffles and frills. If you decide to decorate the kitchen in country style, be careful - do not overdo it with softness and splendor, otherwise there is a danger of being considered a rustic host.
