How to choose curtains in the kitchen. Curtains for the kitchen: varieties, styles, photo examples

The kitchen, the room in which the hearth is located, remains the main place in the house for us. Therefore, it is so important to make it cozy and attractive. To do this, you have to follow fashionable interior trends, in which curtains play an important role. We also suggest that you do not stand aside and familiarize yourself with the selection of curtains for the kitchen.

Straight curtains and tulle

When creating an interior, the dictum "my house is my rules" today becomes the basis of design ideas. But in the pursuit of self-realization, one should not completely neglect fashion trends.

It must be remembered that not every curtain is perceived adequately in a modern kitchen. This and next year, style solutions for window decoration gravitate towards simple and laconic forms, and practicality strengthens its position.

Pretentious, richly adorned with accessories, curtains, especially when it comes to a workspace like the kitchen, fade into the background. Exactly what changes the design of curtains for the kitchen has undergone and their novelties you will see in our photo selection.

Straight curtains with tulle are a timeless classic. It is quite diverse and is not limited to sets of two curtains (one for each half of the window) and one curtain.

Modern classic curtains for the kitchen can be on eyelets, with or without a lambrequin, of different lengths, and also made specifically for windows with a balcony door. Let's consider all of them in more detail.

In the photo there is a fashionable novelty - elegant elongated curtains.

Classic curtains and tulle... Long thick curtains or light curtains to the floor in combination with tulle have always been popular and are likely to remain so for a very long time. When choosing them for the kitchen, it is advisable to observe several rules:

• Large cloths collect a lot of dust. Therefore, the material of curtains and curtains should be easy to clean.
• The kitchen needs light all the time. Therefore, curtains or curtains should not be too thick.
• Long curtains should not be hung over the window near which the headset or dining table is located.

If we talk about the color combination, then snow-white or with a light shade in the color of the curtains (matte or with a slight sheen) remain the most win-win and simple option.

The kitchen is one of the few places in the house where curtains play mainly a decorative function, so windows decorated only with tulle are still in trend here. This solution is especially true for small spaces.

Airy tulle curtains will create a warm and cozy atmosphere, will not interfere with light streams and will not "eat up" the space. And in order to hang them beautifully, there are many ways: one curtain for the entire window, two crossed, a long canvas thrown with a sag over the cornice.

Curtains on eyelets... Curtains, in the upper part of which holes are cut, framed by metal or plastic rings (eyelets), which make it possible to conveniently and firmly fix the curtains on the cornice, are becoming more and more popular from year to year.

They are positioned so that, when assembled, the fabric panels fall from the eaves in even vertical folds. Eyelets visually ennoble the curtains, give them a refined elegance and do not need additional decorations, since they themselves are not only fasteners, but also an element of decor.

In the photo there are modern curtains for the kitchen made of translucent organza. The eyelets create beautiful deep pleats.

Stylistically, curtains with eyelets for the kitchen are universal. They can be long or short, sewn from light or curtain fabric, plain or patterned.

For any interior style: strict classics, avant-garde high-tech, warm Provence, naive shabby chic, romantic country, you can choose the right option. It should be borne in mind that although curtains with grommet fastening do not need additional decorations, original, corresponding to the interior tips on the cornice are not only acceptable for them, but even welcome.

Curtains with lambrequin... Lambrequin is a horizontal drapery that frames the upper part of the curtains. There are almost more varieties of lambrequins than types of curtains, but this year designers recommend using only a few of them. It is better to make the choice in favor of the following models:

Soft draperies made of light light fabric in the form of a short curtain covering only the upper third of the window in the form of a swag, half-swag or a scarf thrown over the cornice. It is better to forget about complex options, consisting of several details: frills, ties, bells.

As noted above, pretentiousness is not welcome this season, therefore, massive lambrequins with fringes and tassels will also have to be abandoned.

Rigid lambrequins on the bando also remain popular. They should be laconic, made in the form of a narrow strip, or a small triangle, as well as with an arched or curly bottom edge. The fabric for sewing a hard lambrequin is taken the same as for curtains, but in principle it can be any.

For a kitchen with an interior tending towards luxury, you can choose an openwork lambrequin made by laser cutting - an ideal alternative to the usual lambrequin on a bandeau. With it, the window will look elegant and sophisticated.

Straight curtains and tulle for a window with a balcony door... Economically, the kitchen with access to the balcony is very convenient, but due to the asymmetry of the window-balcony opening, it needs a special design solution. In addition, the balcony door in most cases opens inward, and ordinary curtains will constantly cling to it.

This season, designers propose to design a window with a balcony as follows.

One wide long panel with a pick-up from the side of the window. During the day, such a curtain is collected in the hold, and at night they open and hang the entire opening. Displacement of the curtain from the center of the eaves in this case is only welcome, since decorating a window combined with a balcony assumes asymmetry, which allows you to freely open and close the door.

Another option is two curtains with hooks. A curtain on the floor is hung on the balcony door, and the length of the curtain on the window depends on how the window sill and the space under it are used. During the day, these curtains are always gathered.

Layering is also in trend this season. So, on the window you can hang a slanting tulle trimmed along an oblique side (the short side is near the balcony door, and the long one goes down to the window sill), and on the door there is a long narrow tulle and a dense curtain. In this case, the cornice will have to be brought forward 5-7 centimeters more than usual. During the day, the curtain remains open and does not interfere with the use of the balcony door, and at night it can be closed completely.

Straight short curtains... Cropped curtains in the kitchen are primarily practical. And practicality in the interior, as has been said more than once, came to the fore this season. These are especially relevant in cases where the work surfaces or the dining table are located in the area of ​​the window opening.

The most relevant in the 2019 season for the kitchen are:

Roman curtains

These are lifting curtains, the adjustment of which is carried out using a special manual or electric mechanism that collects the canvases in even parallel folds.

Their laconic design gives the interior a strict elegance and fully corresponds to the main fashion trend of the seasons, focused on simplicity and ergonomics.

Suitable for all interior styles, since they can be hung not only independently, but also combined with tulle, horizontal blinds or straight curtains.

If the kitchen is not overflowing with decor and is decorated in calm dull colors, designers advise to create color accents on such curtains and make them the main accessory in the interior.

Recently, it has become fashionable to hang frameless on one window over a frame Roman blind.

The second differs from the first in that there are no slats in its design that support the strict geometric shape of the horizontal folds. Because of this, frameless models of Roman blinds gather in soft folds, and their edges hang down with "ears", like a lambrequin. This window design looks especially good in two when the curtains are made of partner fabrics: plain and with a pattern.

Austrian curtains

Austrian curtains are also classified as lifting curtains and combine the practicality of Roman and sophistication of French models. Usually they are raised two-thirds of the height of the window.

In the raised position on Austrian models, smooth horizontal folds are formed. But most often the "Austrians" are left upright. Sometimes, in combination with tulle or curtains, such curtains perform the function of a lambrequin. But since the "Austrians" they themselves are very decorative in the kitchen, they are usually enough of them alone.

Kitchen interiors of this season gravitate towards naturalness, lightness, airiness and an abundance of light. Therefore, Austrian curtains made of dense fabric are not welcome. For them, fabrics are chosen on which it is easier to form smooth fluffy folds: cotton tulle, taffeta, loose silk, linen.

Austrian models are suitable only for romantic and classic interiors. Such styles, for example, as high-tech, loft or classics of the 60s of the last century, they are "contraindicated".

French curtains

Classic French curtains run from ceiling to floor in numerous scalloped rows. At the same time, they are stationary - they do not move apart and do not rise up.

Naturally, such a model is not acceptable for the kitchen, and in this room today are used modernized, lifting, windowsill-length versions of "Frenchwomen".

French curtains are appropriate in classic romantic styles and, like Austrian models, do not tolerate brutal and laconic style solutions.

Fabrics for them use natural, light, translucent, well draped, mostly white or with a slight touch of any shade of pastel palette.

In a small kitchen, "French women" will look too bulky and "protrude".

This solution is ideal for a spacious kitchen-dining room with large high windows. It should be borne in mind that dust and fumes quickly accumulate in the abundant folds, so a kitchen with such curtains must be equipped with an extractor hood.

Kiseya

The curtains made of threads, cascading from the eaves, seem to be specially created for the kitchen.

They are beautiful, practical (they do not get dirty, do not absorb water and greasy vapors, they are easily washed off), allow you to freely use the balcony door, let air and light through and, despite being ephemeral, effectively protect the interior from prying eyes from the street.

These versatile curtains have another useful property for the kitchen: they can be used to conveniently divide the space into zones.

Depending on the color and material of making the threads, muslin can be entered into any interior style, from austere to romantic. As a window decoration, it is completely self-sufficient, but if necessary, it is not forbidden to combine it with curtains, tulle or horizontal blinds.

The photo shows a combination of classic curtains with muslin.

Kiseya perfectly perceives any curtain decorations: hairpins, tassels, bows, butterflies, beads, flowers from ribbons and fabrics. But since simplicity and brevity are welcomed in the kitchen this season, when using muslin, designers advise to limit ourselves to experiments with color combinations and textures of threads.

And if you want to effortlessly change the design of the window decor, it is enough to drape such curtains with hooks or cut them off, which is also easy.

Roller blinds

Wound when lifting on a special roller fixed above the window or on the top of the window frame.

They can be made of fabric, bamboo straw, or PVC. In the kitchen, it is better to use the first two options. At the same time, bamboo curtains are best suited for eco- and ethno-styles, and fabric curtains can fit into any interior.

No sooner had the roller curtains appeared on the market than they were immediately considered the privilege of small kitchens, which is quite natural: they are as ergonomic as possible and effectively save square meters, "without eating" a single extra centimeter. But this season, designers confidently declare that this type of window decor looks great even in large spaces.

If you do not like the asceticism of screen paintings, you can combine them with any other curtains.

In the photo in the interior of the kitchen. They are very convenient, as they make it possible to change the degree of illumination of the room.

Roller blinds can play the role of the main color accent of the situation, or be one of its background elements.

In the first case, you need to "make friends" with the interior, for example, lay them on a tablecloth of the same color or choose curtains in the color of the kitchen cabinet doors. But roller blinds with photo printing look especially impressive in the kitchen - a hit of the current and future seasons.

Japanese panels

Japanese curtains (screen fabric panels) are more like lightweight sliding screens, wardrobe doors or vertical blinds than curtains. They consist of several elements: screen panels, cornice and control system.

The panels are rectangular fabrics 40-60 cm wide, tightly stretched between two guides or with the help of a weighting strip fixed along their lower edge.

Traditionally, they are sewn from natural fabrics, but in modern interiors it is possible to use synthetic materials. Most often, 2-5 panels are used on one window.

The cornice for Japanese curtains needs a multi-profile, wall or ceiling. In order for the panels to be used simultaneously and without restrictions, the number of tracks on the cornice must correspond to their number.

If you move the panels by hand, they will quickly become dirty. To avoid this and optimize the process, use tissue guides or install an electronic control system that allows you to move the panels using the remote control.

There are a few basic points to look out for when choosing Japanese kitchen curtains:

• Textile. It is not necessary to decorate the window with panels of the same material. It is convenient to adjust natural light with curtains of different density. You can combine linen and chiffon, thick silk and organza - there are many options. When choosing a fabric, it is important to consider its practicality. Loose materials quickly absorb greasy fumes, moisture and kitchen odors. For the kitchen, thick blended or synthetic fabrics are preferable.
• Color palette. The Japanese style is characterized by calm natural tones, but today any color of modern Japanese curtains is allowed. The main thing is that it resonates with the main colors of the interior.
• Drawing. Choosing a print for Japanese panels in the kitchen, you do not have to limit yourself to sakura twigs and hieroglyphs. For example, small ligature looks good on transparent panels of pastel colors; on dense fabric of saturated colors, a large vertical pattern is more appropriate. The trend of the season is photo printing on curtains. You can choose any image and not necessarily "kitchen".
• Decorations. Japanese curtains do not accept excesses, so you should not "spoil" them with accessories. They are self-sufficient and any addition will break their laconic elegance.

Japanese curtains are universal, suitable for many interiors, but still they can not be used in every kitchen.

In luxurious lush interiors with an abundance of decorative details, they are lost and look out of place. In a small kitchen, on the contrary, they can draw all the attention to themselves and visually make the space even smaller. To prevent this from happening, their colors and dimensions will have to be well thought out.

Japanese curtains will make a spacious or combined with a living room kitchen with high ceilings and large windows even more voluminous and airy.

For a room in the style of Provence, country, English classics, the design, color and size of the panels will also have to be selected very carefully. Ideal for using Japanese curtains - high-tech kitchens, minimalism, eco, Chinese and Japanese.

Finally, here are some basic tips to help you choose the curtains that work best for your kitchen:

1. 1 The background color of the curtains should match the interior: be either to match the walls, or accent and duplicate the color of some details of the furnishings.
2. 2 Natural colors are considered the most suitable this season: sand, plum, green, olive, coffee with milk, brown, as well as deep blue and purple. From the pastel palette, milky, beige, pale pink and peach tones have not lost their relevance.
3. 3 The length of the curtains depends on the size of the kitchen. In a small room, short curtains are used to save space. Floor-length curtains are best used in a spacious kitchen combined with a dining room.
4. 4 Layering is encouraged. Sheer fabrics provide light in the kitchen, while thicker fabrics help create accents.
5. 5 If you want to use the window sill as an additional work surface, pay attention to the straight, beveled to one side of the model, "cafe" curtains and all types of lifting curtains.
6. 6 In the kitchen, located on the first floor of a private house, the curtains not only perform a protective function, but also serve as a kind of "frame" for the landscape outside the window. Experts believe that the best in this regard are asymmetric and arched curtains, curtains of the lambrequin type and curtains with side hooks.
7. 7 The choice of fashionable curtains this season requires compliance not only with aesthetic features, but also with practicality. Do not get carried away with the abundance of curtain accessories, complex cut and a large number of additional details. The main decorations for curtains this season are textile hooks and simple laconic lambrequins.
8. 8 This season it is recommended to choose environmentally friendly natural materials: silk, cotton, linen, bamboo straw. In addition, mixed fabrics are allowed, consisting of natural fibers not less than 30%.
9. 9 Regarding the design, complex fanciful patterns are not recommended, but it is very fashionable to use fabrics with prints or photo prints. For the kitchen, images of fruits and vegetables, beautiful dishes, desserts, floral themes, as well as all kinds of city and natural landscapes are recommended.

The main feature of design solutions for curtains in the kitchen of this year is the variety of textures, shapes and sizes. But to create a cozy and harmonious interior, something else is needed - your personal view of how the window decor should be.

It is thanks to him that the living space acquires the charm of a unique individuality. Taking the first as a basis and adding the second to it, you will definitely create a fashionable, practical, and most importantly unique interior in your kitchen, and the curtains will become one of its highlights.

So that even a modest room with an area of ​​5-8 sq.m. seemed spacious enough, it is important to give up bulky furniture, properly decorate the walls and floors, and also take care of choosing the right decor for windows that let in daylight.

Curtains in the kitchen usually perform several functions at once: they decorate the window opening, protect from excessively intense sunlight and prying eyes, and in some cases they also correct the visual perception of the space, making the ceilings higher and the room itself more spacious.

What curtains are not suitable for a small kitchen?

Classic floor-length curtains, elaborate volumetric details, multi-layered curtains and dark curtains with rich draperies can turn an already small kitchen room into a real closet. Bright canvases with large patterns and catchy intricate ornaments will give the same effect.

A lambrequin in a small kitchen may look good, but only when it comes to a small, laconic design. Folds and cascades "steal" the useful area, and curtains with a small dark print create a dusty feeling.

Any complex designs and intricate shapes, alas, are inappropriate in a small room.

An ideal choice for a compact kitchen - simple translucent materials.

What is the best way to decorate small kitchen windows?

There are several requirements for the design of a window opening:

• The ability to transmit light and provide sufficient air circulation;
• Spectacular design, in harmony with other objects in the room;
• A practical curtain material that should be easy to wash, dry quickly and be durable.

Ideal fabrics for kitchen curtains are: translucent tulle, unpretentious chintz, practical linen and luxurious silk, which is recommended to be specially impregnated.

Light curtains

Ideal if the windows face the server, west or east, and annoying neighbors and passers-by do not pester you with increased attention.

Light curtains with floral or fruit patterns, simple geometric patterns are the most traditional solution for rooms decorated in country or Provence style.

Monochromatic light curtains, which visually expand the kitchen space, will look great. Convenient grips will help to save such curtains from rapid burnout, and roll structures or practical blinds are perfect for additional protection of the room from the sun.

Short curtains

If it is important to use every centimeter in a room with benefit, practical models with a length just above the level of the windowsill will definitely be a good choice.

On the one hand, the curtains will allow you to give the window opening a spectacular complete look, and on the other hand, they will make it possible to use the window sill space for household needs.

Curtains in the style of "Cafe", which look especially appropriate on small windows, will become an original alternative to such curtains.

Small canvases are attached approximately in the middle of the window sash, without taking up precious space, but reliably hiding the room from the glances of passers-by. At the same time, the open top of the windows perfectly allows both fresh air and a sufficient amount of light to pass through.

Tulle

Weightless transparent tulle, spectacular veil and delicate lace are considered the most advantageous materials for decorating windows in small rooms.

Tulle takes up a minimum of space, looks elegant, fits perfectly into any interior in terms of style and transmits sunlight better than other materials.

If there is no need to close the room from prying eyes, the window decoration can be limited only with tulle up to the floor, up to the window sill, or up to the middle of the wall under the window.

In other cases, compact Roman or roller blinds will be an excellent addition to an elegant sheer curtain.

Kiseya

Thread curtains can be a real boon in the design of a small kitchen window. Long straight stripes visually increase the space, as if "raise" the ceiling, let in light, are very easy to wash, give the room a special comfort and look really good.

You can decorate the muslin in different ways, for example, with the help of an effective grip, fix the "noodles" in the center of the window or on one of the sides.

Additional design possibilities are provided by a wide variety of color solutions: in addition to the usual monochromatic options, there are spectacular combinations of shades with soft or very contrasting transitions.

Roman curtains

Roman blinds are perhaps the most practical solution for decorating a kitchen window. The design features allow you to adjust the height of the fabric, creating the required level of shading.

The material of the product can be either absolutely dense, providing complete darkening, or translucent, as if scattering sunlight.

Roman blinds harmoniously coexist with both weightless tulle and solid curtains made of dense materials. And what is most important - when assembled, the structure is compactly placed under the ceiling and absolutely does not occupy such a scarce area.

Models with eyelets

One of the most relevant design solutions in the design of windows in houses and apartments is straight curtains, for attaching them to the cornice, eyelets located along the upper edge of the fabric are used.

If the round cornice is attached directly to the ceiling, long strips of fabric will help to visually "lift" the ceiling. With just one movement, the fabric can be gathered into compact folds on the sides of the window and just as easily turned into reliable protection from excessive lighting and the curiosity of passers-by.

Advice! You can choose any material for the decoration of the kitchen window: up to a fabric that provides complete darkening to an unobtrusive chintz or a spectacular "reaper".

Curtains with lambrequin

An exquisite lambrequin is able to effectively harmonize with both dense curtains and weightless curtains, giving the window decoration a complete and expensive look.

Wide draperies and numerous lush folds do not always look appropriate in a small room. For the kitchen, lambrequins of a more laconic shape are more suitable, for example, solid-colored rigid structures, the color of which is better to match with curtains or furniture.

Austrian curtains

Austrian curtains with numerous scalloped folds on the window look especially impressive and sophisticated, therefore they are optimal for a kitchen with a laconic classic interior.

Additional advantages of this choice: Austrian curtains assembled in the upper part of the window take up a minimum of space, and they can be sewn from any material: silk, organza, satin or even inexpensive synthetics.

Roll structures

The optimal choice for practical housewives: the compact roll can be easily rolled up at the top of the window opening and just as easily deployed, completely or partially covering the window opening.

The design itself is simple, but you can make the window decor more effective by experimenting with colors, patterns, materials.

The curtain fabric can be plain or multi-colored, fabric or woven from straw or bamboo fibers. Most often, the rolled version of curtains in the kitchen is combined with transparent curtains or a veil.

Blinds

Oddly enough, strict vertical blinds on and at home may look more than appropriate, although such a design will not fit very well into a Provence or Baroque interior.

Bamboo or wooden blinds will make the room cozier and create a pleasant twilight even on a hot summer day.

Models made of fabric and multi-textured materials will delight you with a variety of colors and designs: the blinds can be in the shape of a lambriquin or, on the contrary, length up to the floor. Models with an unusual print or photo printing look especially impressive.

Colors and patterns

Designers claim that light green, lavender, purple or blue curtains will look most advantageous in a small kitchen.

It is these colors that simultaneously refresh the room and visually expand the space. Muted tones: lemon, pistachio, cream, pearl fit perfectly into any interior.

Dark colors in the design of windows are appropriate only when it comes to small lambriquins or compact Roman or roller blinds. Dark gray or dark blue floor-length curtains can look good in an ultra-modern interior, however, for supporters of the classics and Provence style, light pastel curtains are more suitable, which can be successfully combined into a single ensemble of 2-3 colors.

Fabric with a print when decorating windows should be used especially carefully: a large drawing will definitely become an accent in the interior and visually reduce an already small window.

However, even a small inconspicuous pattern creates a feeling of "dustiness". The optimal solution is to choose plain curtains or a model with a medium-sized print, stripes, small flowers.

If you want to "revive" the muted color canvases, you can pick up a bright lambriquin, brushes, hooks and fringes, as well as choose a fabric with a rich texture.

• Win-win options in any kitchen - curtains in any pastel shades. If you want to choose a bright and original model, it is desirable that the tone and style of the fabric match the design of the furniture or the color of the walls.
• If the windows of the room face south, or you live on the ground floor, blackout curtains on the windows are a must. It can be both classic curtains and compact Roman or roller blinds.
• For upper floors, there is often no need to carefully curtain windows. In this case, an elegant veil, luxurious organza or original tulle can be used in several layers to decorate the window luxuriously.
• The appearance of the room depends to a great extent on the correct choice of the cornice. For a small kitchen with low ceilings, ceiling models of cornices are perfect, as well as light plastic structures or forged metal cornices, which are best fixed as close to the ceiling as possible.

It is enough to follow these simple tips, and even the smallest kitchen, thanks to the successful decor of the windows, will create a feeling of comfort and relaxed elegance.

Ordinary curtains allow you to add style and completeness to the kitchen interior. Curtains are an important component of the interior, they can create warmth, comfort and visually add lightness to the space. Choosing curtains for the kitchen must take into account many criteria: type of design and fabric, color, shape.

What curtains can be chosen for the kitchen

Curtains in the kitchen should be beautiful and practical, complement the interior and protect from prying eyes from the street. They should not interfere with the work process in the kitchen and it is desirable to provide periodic access to the window. There are several types of curtains that are used exclusively in the kitchen.

Short curtains

Short curtains for the kitchen are perhaps the most convenient and common option. They are easy to clean, do not interfere in tight spaces and do not interfere with the frequent opening of the window for ventilation.

Short curtains are ideal for small kitchens, and blinds, depending on the location of the slats, can visually expand the room or raise a low ceiling. The length of short curtains can be very different: to the radiator, above the windowsill and not even longer than the lambrequin (for Scandinavian and rustic styles). Short curtains can be divided into 2 large types:

Classic straight curtains or curtains: they are made mainly of natural materials, they can be plain and with a print, they can be supplemented with a light tulle (also short). Usually, such curtains are used in traditional cuisine, they fit well into Provence and country styles, they are found in modern and minimalism.

Modern- these include all types of blinds, roller blinds, roman. They can be easily lifted up and adjusted to provide the required amount of light transmission. Like classic curtains, there are plain products on sale, with prints and photo prints.

Blinds can be combined with curtains, lambrequins and tulle. Usually they are hung in modern laconic high-tech kitchens, cantemporari, minimalism, loft.

Short curtains can be made in the English style (they are collected in horizontal folds and fixed with a cord at the required height), more elaborate French and Austrian curtains (textiles are draped). As a rule, such complex curtains are the prerogative of spacious kitchens.

Curtains on eyelets

The main advantage of such curtains is the wide, even vertical folds formed by the eyelets. These curtains have a very neat look and give the kitchen a sense of order. In addition, they slide / slide easily along the cornice.

Eyelet curtains are ideal for modern styles: Scandinavian, American, modern, hi-tech, loft, minimalism, fusion.

Which curtains on eyelets to choose for the kitchen: short or long, light or dark, with a print or solid color depends solely on the size of the kitchen space and the chosen interior style.

Curtains with lambrequins

Lambrequins in the kitchen will help to hide the cornice and fastening details. However, based on the fact that they were invented by the French, they have a decorative purpose. Curtains with lambrequins are a complex combination of fabrics, draperies, and sometimes lace.

Lambrequin is ideal for classic interiors, rustic styles (provence, shabby chic, country, rustic) and magnificent art deco.

In total, there are about 30 types of lambrequins, however, when decorating a kitchen window, you need to adhere to the rule - the smaller the kitchen, the easier the lambrequins should be. You can combine roman blinds, blinds, classic curtains and blinds, simple short curtains and tulles with lambrequins.

Roman and roller blinds

Roman and roller blinds have a lot in common. If the rolls are collected on the shaft from above, twisting into a roll, then the Roman ones are collected in folds when lifted. Both options are very convenient for use in the kitchen. The absence of the need to tug them with your hands will keep the fabric clean for a long time, and a slight lift up will provide free access to the windowsill.

If in a simple version, such curtains can be used in modern laconic interior styles, then in combination with curtains or lambrequins, they will perfectly fit into classic styles.

When choosing such curtains, you need to take into account the size of the window, the size of the kitchen, the style of the interior, which side of the world the windows face:

• For rustic styles, curtains with rustic motifs are usually chosen - a cage, polka dots, floristry;
• For the classics, vignettes, damask, large flowers on the canvas are suitable;
• For the Scandinavian style, you can choose curtains with stripes, zigzags, geometric ornaments;
• The design of curtains for modern minimalism and loft should also be minimalistic.

Blinds

Blinds for the kitchen are the most practical option. They allow you to completely close the kitchen from prying eyes, with a simple movement to adjust the level of light transmission. They are not easily soiled, the material for the lamellas, as a rule, is antistatic, has dirt and moisture-repellent properties, it is easy to take care of them - just wipe the lamellas with a damp cloth.

Blinds in the kitchen can play the role of a catchy accent in a restrained interior, or they can act as a neutral element. Blinds will be appropriate in rustic styles, combined with lambrequins and curtains, they will fit into the classics. As for modern styles - hi-tech, modern and minimalism, they are simply created for them.

What color and pattern to choose for curtains in the kitchen

Green curtains

Green curtains in the kitchen are a cheerful and cheerful mood in the morning and tranquility in the evening.

Nature abounds in green: from cool sea waves to rich coniferous:

• Garden green will work well with floral motifs or rustic cages;
• Light green shades are ideal for creating an accent in a neutral room;
• Turquoise will look good in bright, well-lit kitchens;
• The mint shade on the curtains will perfectly dilute the chrome and metallic hi-tech;
• Slate green is a comfort factor in a kitchen with pine furniture.

Red curtains

Red curtains in the kitchen can never play the role of a neutral background. They will always be an accent and conspicuous one. Red curtains will help to embody the most daring ideas in any style in the kitchen, especially when you consider the huge range of shades.

Red curtains in combination with black look beautiful, but this design will not suit everyone because of the share of some aggressiveness. In a kitchen with white furniture, they will become an indicator of good taste. They will fit well into cozy Provence (red curtains with white polka dots) and classic modern. In hi-tech, they will become precisely the color spot missing for harmony.

Gray curtains

We can safely say that gray in the interior has recently become a trend for designers. This also applies to gray curtains. If you want to match the modern trends in the kitchen interior, then when buying gray wallpaper, be sure to match gray curtains to them. To create the perfect hi-tech, the curtains should be in a rich metallic color and deeper in the background tone.

Orange curtains

Orange curtains in the kitchen are a guarantee of a constant good mood. The combination of orange and olive or light green has become an absolute hit of our time. Orange curtains will suit the kitchen of any shade, but you will have to support them with additional accents: upholstery on upholstered furniture, a kitchen apron of the same color or a bright lampshade.

Which kitchens will orange curtains look good in:

• The kitchen with brown furniture is a traditional combination in oriental style;
• White furnishings are a great palette for contemporary styles;
• Purple or black - a bold combination for cutting edge styles;
• With gray - an excellent harmonious combination.

Beige curtains

Beige curtains will create a feeling of warmth, tranquility and closeness to nature in the kitchen. Beige curtains will look good in a brown kitchen, in white, in blue. With beige curtains, you can safely add bright decor to the kitchen.

Choosing beige curtains, you can safely experiment with colors in the kitchen. For example, choose a kitchen set with a brighter facade: fresh greenery or yellow, red and deep blue. For lovers of contrasting combinations, they will create the desired effect in a kitchen with black furniture.

Brown curtains

There are insanely many shades of brown in nature: these are chocolate, coffee, brown cola and all shades of woody. Curtains in coffee, chocolate, sand or classic brown will harmoniously blend with wooden furniture and floors. Dark brown classics will give the kitchen a luxury atmosphere.

In the kitchen, rich browns will be in perfect harmony with the light background of the finish. For a white kitchen, soft coffee and warm coffee shades will be an exquisite choice. In a beige kitchen, the best solution would be to complement brown curtains of a similar color with an apron. Brown bamboo roller shutters will look good in eco and rustic styles.

Purple curtains
