Choosing the color of the curtains for the kitchen. Deciding which is better

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 fasten the curtains to 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 the curtains with grommet fastening do not need additional decorations, the 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 rigid lambrequin is taken the same as for curtains, but in principle it can be any.

For a kitchen with an interior tending to 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 and 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 cut along the slanting side (the short side is near the balcony door, and the long one goes down to the windowsill), 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 creating color accents on such curtains and making 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 modernized, lifting, windowsill-length versions of "Frenchwomen" are used in this room today.

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 strict 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 canvases, 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. Calm natural tones are characteristic of the Japanese style, 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 The background color of the curtains should match the interior: be either in tune with the walls, or accent and duplicate the color of some details of the furnishings.
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 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 Layering is encouraged. Sheer fabrics provide light in the kitchen, while thicker fabrics help create accents.
5 If you want to use the window sill as an additional work surface, pay attention to straight, beveled to one side of the model, "cafe" curtains and all types of curtains.
6 In the kitchen, located on the ground 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, lambrequin-type curtains and curtains with side hooks.
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 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 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.

Models of modern curtains for the kitchen

Classic curtains / Light transparent curtains for the kitchen are still in constant demand. In order to make the edges of the garment heavier and balance the flowing fabric, ruffles of jacquard or silk are sewn along the edges. You can beautifully decorate a window opening using transparent organza curtains with a lambrequin. This model is a great option for kitchens with high ceilings.

Both in the first and in the second case, the product will look original and impressive.
Roller shutters. A very original option for those who appreciate every centimeter of free space in the room. Roller shutters are mounted directly above the window, and when assembled they take up very little space. Rolled into compact rolls, they are almost invisible from the side.

The latter option is quite popular this year. These roller blinds will perfectly fit into any kitchen interior. It can be high-tech, modern or country.
Kisey (thread) curtains. For those who do not want to be like everyone else, original filament curtains are suitable. Imagine long thin cords connected by beads or bugles.

You can close and raise the curtains inside the window with a light effort of your hands.

Curtains made of expensive textures with rich drapery are best left for the living room or bedroom. When deciding on a suitable model of curtains for the kitchen, designers recommend proceeding from the rule "the simpler, the better."

What should be the curtains for the kitchen

The design of kitchen curtains has many features due to the specific functions of this room in the house. When choosing curtains for the kitchen, one should be guided not only by aesthetic and stylistic, but also purely practical considerations. Luxurious long snow-white curtains with lush folds of delicate material will lose their presentation in a couple of days, and they will simply interfere, so when choosing curtains for the kitchen, you need to remember that first of all they should be:

Functional- kitchen curtains should be easy to draw and move apart, protect the room from prying eyes and direct sunlight, while letting in light and air for the most comfortable work and a pleasant feeling of freshness. If the plate is located near the window, and you have chosen a light airy material for sewing curtains, take care of fire safety - use special hooks or sew a weighting tape along the bottom edge.
Practical- curtains in the kitchen should be easy to wash. When choosing a material, be sure to take into account not only the general style of the interior, but also the specifics of the room where food is prepared and eaten daily. To avoid unnecessary hassle, rely on fabrics that do not absorb odors, and that accumulate a minimum of dirt, dust and grime. It can be both natural materials, with special fire-retardant, dust- and dirt-repellent impregnations, or synthetics, and modern blended fabrics with an admixture of synthetic fibers, combining the functionality and practicality of synthetics with the unique aesthetics of natural materials.

The modern design of kitchen curtains is a maximum of functionalism and a minimum of details

Modern design of curtains for the kitchen: what to choose for a kitchen window

The modern design of kitchen curtains is a maximum of functionalism and a minimum of details. The optimal solution would be unpretentious short curtains, Roman, roller or bamboo blinds, operating on the principle of blinds, or Austrian curtains. Classic curtains with curtains are appropriate in spacious, well-ventilated rooms, as well as in kitchens combined with a dining room or living room.

Light curtains for the kitchen

Lightweight fabric and tulle curtains will be the best solution for a small kitchen. They do not clutter up the window opening, allowing you to use it as a table or an additional work surface, and always create a warm, homely atmosphere in the room. A sheer tulle curtain will help highlight the beauty of a classic wooden headset. For country and Provence style, curtains with tiebacks and cafe curtains are perfect.

Lightweight tulle curtains in the kitchen are associated with carefree summer days, light wind and sunlight.

Roman curtains

Easy to use, laconic in design, practical and elegant, Roman blinds will perfectly fit into any style of kitchen: from classic and retro to hi-tech and avant-garde. The universal method of mounting on the wall, ceiling or directly in the skylight of the window will allow you to make the most of the useful space, which is never superfluous in the kitchen. In the unfolded form, Roman blinds are a flat canvas, which, when lifted, gathers into soft, graceful folds. In interior design, they are used in those places where it is undesirable or impossible to install wide curtains.

Elegant Roman shades will fit perfectly into any style of kitchen, except for the deliberately pretentious

The level of such a curtain is very convenient to adjust, shading exactly that part of the window, which is necessary, which allows you to control the amount of light flux. If you wish, you can pick up Roman shades that will perfectly diffuse sunlight even when lowered. On a wide window, for more effective regulation of the lighting level, it is advisable to hang not one strip, but several at once. Due to the impregnation with special compounds that protect the canvas from exposure to direct sunlight, Roman blinds almost do not heat up in the sun and do not fade, retaining their pristine beauty for a long time. In addition, they are reliable, practical, simple and easy to clean: if necessary, they can always be removed from the eaves and washed.

Thanks to the variety of materials and colors, the decorative possibilities of Roman blinds have increased significantly

Roller blinds

Recently, roller blinds are increasingly competing with traditional fabric curtains. And this is not surprising, because they have a lot of advantages over other types of curtains. They are compact, practical, durable, easy to use and maintain, and the variety of textures and colors will allow you to choose your option for any style of kitchen interior. Roller blinds, also known as fabric roller blinds, roller blinds or roller blinds, are characterized by a simple design that even a child can handle and versatility: they fit windows of any width, can be easily attached to the wall, ceiling or installed directly in the window opening.

Roller blinds compete with traditional fabric curtains, ideally performing the function of protection from bright sunlight

On a wide window, you can use both a solid canvas and several separate curtains, which will allow you to experiment with the level of illumination of the room and make each window sash autonomous from the neighboring ones. Smooth canvas in unfolded form tightly closes the window opening, and when opened it rolls up into a neat roll in the upper part of the window. When choosing materials for roller blinds in the kitchen, one should take into account not only their dirt and dust-repellent properties, and fire resistance, but also the desired degree of darkening of the room. Roller blinds with minimal darkening reliably protect the room from prying eyes, while almost completely letting in sunlight, while black out blinds are absolutely opaque. Roller blinds with a thematic pattern will organically complement the kitchen interior: fruits, vegetables, glasses of wine, etc.

Roller blinds for the kitchen, which have an original color, can easily perform a decorative function.

Bamboo curtains for the kitchen

Ethnic oriental motives will bring exotic notes to the kitchen interior, fill the room with a light aroma of herbs and natural wood, and “melt” the coldness of even the most modern high-tech. Bamboo curtains are fabrics woven in a special way from bamboo cane, natural fabrics and jute straw. They are very lightweight, compact, and most importantly, moisture resistant. Processing the lamellas with a special varnish additionally protects them from mechanical damage and exposure to sunlight. In addition, during operation, bamboo does not emit toxic substances and does not cause allergies, which allows you to safely use this material not only in the kitchen, but even in the decoration of children's rooms. Numerous shades and weaving methods will allow you to choose the best option for any kitchen interior.

Bamboo curtains will bring exotic notes to the kitchen interior, and soft diffused light penetrating through them will create a cozy atmosphere.

Austrian curtains in the interior of the kitchen

If you want something more luxurious and pompous, but at the same time practical, you should pay attention to Austrian curtains, which are a kind of fusion of Roman and French curtains. Austrian curtains rise and fall similarly to Roman ones, but unlike the latter, they do not have horizontal clamps, due to which, when compressed, the fabric gathers throughout the entire width of the curtain not in uniform soft horizontal folds, but in semicircular folds. As a result, we get "Roman" severity, diluted at the bottom with scalloped folds in the spirit of French romanticism. When lowered, the Austrian curtain is like an ordinary curtain. Lush scallops are formed only during the rise, bringing an atmosphere of celebration, luxury and sophistication to the kitchen interior. Austrian curtains look no less impressive than classic curtains and drapes, but they take up much less space, which allows them to be used to decorate small window openings, including non-standard ones.

Lush scallops are formed only when the Austrian curtain is lifted, bringing an atmosphere of celebration, luxury and sophistication to the kitchen interior

Classic curtains and lambrequins

Classic curtains, which are a combination of light tulle curtains with sliding straight curtains, are more appropriate in the living room or bedroom. For a kitchen, especially a small one, they are too bulky, inconvenient and, moreover, unsafe. The classic design of the kitchen window is suitable only for spacious, well-ventilated rooms in which the stove is located far from the window, as well as for a studio kitchen combined with a living room, dining room or bedroom, especially if one window combines several functional areas. Lambrequins will add additional expressiveness, solemnity, luxury and sophistication to the kitchen interior. Curtains with lambrequins will not only become an original window decoration, but also help to visually change its proportions.

Classic curtains with geometric patterns are suitable for a spacious kitchen

Combining several types of curtains

Roman, roller blinds and bamboo blinds can be used both independently and in various combinations with tulle curtains, lambrequins and various light curtains. An ideal complement will be transparent and translucent curtains made of airy light fabrics, without voluminous folds and lush folds.

Step 1. Choosing the type of curtains

There are several varieties of the most common types of curtains for the kitchen: Roman, Japanese, roller, cafe curtains, classic, cotton.

Roman curtains

Roman blinds are a canvas that, thanks to a lifting mechanism (similar to a blind system), can rise and fall, letting in light or shading the room. Rising, the Roman blind forms uniform folds and folds like an "accordion" (as a rule, only the lower half of the canvas is lifted, but you can find or sew a model that rises completely). A Roman blind either covers the entire window opening, or is attached to the window sash and leaves the window sill open. As a rule, wide windows are hung with not one, but several canvases.

Pros: easy to care for, beautiful, but at the same time laconic, and therefore suitable for a small kitchen. And they are also perfectly combined with curtains and classic curtains, they look good in both traditional and modern interiors.

Cons: This type of curtain has a lifting mechanism, which, like any mechanical structure, can wear out or break. Since Roman blinds are short and without lush drapery, it is quite easy to wash and remove them, however, the matter is complicated by the slats of the lifting system, which must be removed before washing. Another nuance - if the ceiling is too close to the upper edge of the window opening or the window does not have a transom (see photo below), and the window sill is narrow, then Roman blinds will not allow opening the windows for plowing (for this you will have to completely remove the curtains from the eaves).

Roman blinds in the decoration of a window with a transom

Roman shades can be made with your own hands, following our master class ;
Almost any fabric is suitable for manufacturing, except for crinkled and stretched;
Roman shades are more suitable for narrow windows than square ones.

Roller blinds

Roller blinds are a cloth of fabric that is rolled into a roll and unrolled into a smooth cloth adjacent to the window by attaching the bottom of the curtain to the guide line. In this case, the roll can be hidden in the box (cassette model) or remain visible (open model). They are mounted both on the wall above the window opening and directly on the sash.

Open type roller blinds installed inside the window opening

Pros: thanks to the fixation of the canvas to the guide, the roller blinds do not sway in the wind and do not hang down when the window is tilted at an angle (or if the window is attic). Roller blinds block out light around the edges of the window, are easy to clean and are inexpensive. The design of such curtains is laconic, and therefore they fit perfectly into any interiors, especially modern ones. Since roller blinds do not hide the space, it is good to use them in small kitchens. Another bonus - ready-made roller blinds can be independently adjusted to a non-standard window size.

Cons: roller blinds attached to the sash do not allow opening the window wide open due to the fact that the roll itself rests against the slope of the window niche or against the wall. The second minus - as a rule, roller blinds can only be cleaned by hand, they cannot be washed in a washing machine. The third disadvantage is that most often roller blinds are made of artificial materials, sometimes they resemble a simple oilcloth. And in general, roller blinds are so minimalistic that they may seem "office".

When choosing roller blinds for the kitchen, make sure that they are impregnated with antistatic and dirt-repellent compounds.
Ready-made roller blinds can be independently adjusted to a non-standard window size. To do this, you only need to cut the blade and cut off the excess shaft.
Using roller blinds solo is appropriate, perhaps, only in a modern kitchen, for example, in scandinavian style... In a traditional interior, they are best combined with tulle, curtains or curtains.
You can sew them yourself from fabric.
Dark-colored roller blinds are not a good idea, as dust and dirt will be very noticeable on them.

Cafe curtains

Cafe curtains are short curtains (not below the window sill), which are attached to a telescopic cornice on the sash in the middle of the window (less often at the top of the opening).

Pros: they look very cozy, due to their small size, they are easy to clean, do not hide the space.

Cons: not suitable for modern interiors, shade the space a little.

You can sew the cafe curtains yourself using our step-by-step instructions (see the link below).
Such curtains are especially well combined. with lambrequin .

Panel curtains (Japanese)

Japanese curtains for the kitchen are sliding fabric panels - they move along the guides like the doors of a wardrobe.

Pros: Japanese curtains work well for kitchens with balcony doors and / or large windows. They are easy to operate and can be controlled remotely (this is especially true for very tall windows). They are easy to care for thanks to the anti-static impregnation: all you have to do is wipe the canvas with a cloth from time to time. Due to their length to the floor, panel curtains visually raise the ceiling, and due to the absence of folds, they do not overload the interior, therefore, they are suitable for small kitchens.

Cons: panel curtains are good in a modern interior, but hardly in a classic one.

Japanese curtains can be used as a screen if you need to divide the combined space into zones, for example, kitchen-living room or kitchen in studio apartment .

Thread curtains (muslin)

Kisei curtains are made of threads (fabric or beaded).

Pros: muslin looks unusual and light, suitable for ethnic interiors and art deco kitchens.

Cons: if you have pets or small children, then thread curtains will not work for you, as they tear easily enough, and the beads can be scattered and swallowed.

Blinds

Blinds consist of woven or non-woven (aluminum, bamboo, plastic or wood) lamellas, which, thanks to their mechanism, can not only assemble and open, but also rotate around their axis. Thus, they allow you to adjust the shading from strong to weak. Blinds are vertical and horizontal. Horizontal blinds are made of plastic, bamboo or wood (less commonly). Lamellas of vertical blinds are usually made of synthetic material and impregnated with dirt-repellent compounds.

Pros: good shading and the possibility of its regulation, as well as ease of maintenance.

Cons: somewhat "office" look.

Classic curtains (curtains, tulle)

Classic curtains need no introduction, because this particular style is the most popular and familiar. The assembly of curtains is most often formed by a curtain tape (there are different types), and they are attached to the cornice on eyelets, loops, hooks or rings with "crocodiles".

Pros: curtains of one or two canvases are versatile and suitable for both classic and modern kitchens. Unlike roller and panel curtains, as well as blinds, classic curtains have folds, so they are guaranteed to bring comfort to the interior. Due to the abundance of fabrics, curtain accessories, the ability to choose the length of the canvases and the density of the assembly, you can not only create a unique window design, but also correct some room imperfections. For example, long curtains can be used to hide pipes, a balcony door or a radiator.

Cons: classic curtains are somewhat tedious to remove and hang, wash and iron. Since they are sewn from ordinary fabrics, they tend to get dirty quickly, soaked in grease and the smell of food. It is not always convenient to manage them - fasteners often slide poorly along the cornice.

Classic curtains should not be hung close to the stove, because they can fly up to the fire from the wind and ignite. Plus, it's just not practical - splashes of grease will grease the fabric.
For a small kitchen, choose short curtains with easy assembly. It is desirable that the fabric is soft, then the folds will turn out to be even and neat.
Floor length is recommended for large kitchens as well as kitchens with balcony doors.

Step 2. Choosing the color and pattern of the fabric

Here are some tips to help you choose the right color for your kitchen curtains:

Most often, curtains are selected to match the walls, to match the kitchen facades, apron, or to match the rest of the kitchen textiles, for example, under the upholstery of chairs, under pillows, napkins, etc.

Purple curtains are in harmony with kitchen accessories

The most versatile curtain color is white (and its shades);
If your kitchen lacks sunshine, choose a curtain in a warm color, such as cream or yellow, as shown in the photo below.

And here are some tips for choosing a print fabric:

The pattern on the curtain fabric can overlap with wallpaper, an apron, flooring, carpet, wall decor and other textiles in the room.
Keep in mind that a large pattern visually reduces the space, so for small kitchens it is better to choose curtains with an unobtrusive and small pattern / patterns.

If the ceiling is low, choose vertical striped or diamond patterned curtains like in the photo below. Also suitable are vertical blinds, panel curtains and classic floor-to-ceiling canvases, collected in even and clear folds.

Diamond curtains in the kitchen with a balcony door

If the kitchen is small and narrow, then Roman, roller and panel curtains with horizontal stripes (see photo below) or horizontal blinds will help to visually expand it.

For classic kitchens curtains with a traditional print, such as plaid, floral, floral or heraldic designs / patterns, will do.

Windows of a modern kitchen can be decorated with curtains with any geometric or abstract pattern.

Step 3. Determine the size

As a rule, the cornice is installed at a distance of 20-25 cm from the upper edge of the window niche or on the ceiling. But the length of the kitchen curtains can be different:

Very short, when the canvas is about 1 cm short of the windowsill. This length is suitable if the window sill is used as a bar counter or a cutting table, as well as when attaching the curtain inside the window opening.

Short when the canvas hangs about 10 cm below the level of the windowsill. This length is suitable for small kitchens.

Long when the canvas is 1 cm short of the floor or touches it. Especially suitable for large kitchens and for the decoration of windows with a balcony door.

Very long when 5-10 cm of fabric is on the floor. Such curtains are more suitable for decorating windows of a classic interior. kitchen-dining room or kitchen-living room.

As for the choice of the width of the kitchen curtains, here the recommendation is the same - the canvas should go onto the walls by 20-26 cm on both sides of the opening.

Step 4. Choosing the material

Suitable for sewing kitchen curtains are cotton and linen fabrics, viscose and polyester fabrics, as well as mixed fabrics from natural and synthetic fibers. But it is better to refuse silk and wool - they are too capricious and are only suitable for decorating the windows of the dining room.

Linen is an excellent material for kitchen curtains, because it is durable, has a beautiful texture, tolerates frequent washings and is resistant to fading. However, it is expensive, wrinkles quickly and shrinks strongly after washing. When buying ready-made linen curtains or fabric for sewing, you need to take into account the length margin for shrinkage.

Cotton is beautiful, strong enough, but in its pure form it wrinkles, shrinks after washing and fades in the sun. Therefore, fabrics made of 100% cotton should prefer polycotton (polyester and cotton fabric) or complement the cotton curtains with lining (from the same cotton).
Viscose (modal, lyocell)- This is a budgetary and more practical alternative to silk, but it does not tolerate frequent washings, as it is afraid of water. When choosing curtains for the kitchen from this material, give preference to models with polyester in the composition and / or combine curtains with lining.
Polyester fabrics are inexpensive, do not wrinkle, do not shrink and do not fade from UV rays. But they attract dust and are very inferior to natural materials in beauty.

Tip: It is good if the kitchen curtains have a lining that protects the main fabric from fading in the sun. In addition, the lining will allow you to hide the internal seams, will help to form volumetric folds, if the fabric is light, it will improve the thermal insulation and acoustics of the kitchen.

Step 5. We select the cornice

The cornice is as important as the curtains themselves, because the reliability of the entire structure and the beauty of the window design depend on them. Eaves can be ceiling and wall - in the form of tires with rails, a rod or a string system.

The standard length of the eaves should be 30% longer than the width of the window. But if you need to visually expand the window opening, then it is worth picking up the cornice even longer. Conversely, if the window is too wide, then the length of the eaves should be approximately the same as the width of the opening. If you plan to hang short curtains inside the window opening, then the length of the cornice should be 2-3 cm less.
In order for the cornice to hang securely and not bend under the weight of the curtains, it is necessary to correctly calculate the number of bracket-holders. The recommendations of the manufacturers attached to the curtain rods will help you with this.
The heavier the curtains, the more rigid the profile cornice and its runners should be. Either the diameter is wider when it comes to the rod. For a medium-weight structure, a rod with a diameter of 2 cm is suitable, for heavy curtains - a rod with a diameter of 2.8 cm.
The ceiling cornice is the most inconspicuous, and therefore versatile. In addition, thanks to its even load distribution, it is very reliable and suitable for heavy curtains. True, it can only be installed on a concrete base and is best from wall to wall (otherwise it must be hidden behind a decorative cornice).

Wrought iron and wooden rods are good for "rustic" kitchens (for example, decorated in Provence style, country, shabby chic). Bronze and brass curtain rods with elegant tips - for the classic ones. For a kitchen decorated in a modern style, a rod is also suitable, especially in combination with curtains on the eyelets as in the interior in the next photo.

If the interior of the kitchen is decorated in a modern style, and the curtains are light and not long, a string cornice is well suited.
Cafe curtains are hung on special stained-glass curtain rods or mini-rods installed in a spacer in the window sashes.
For the design of non-standard windows (arched, corner and bay windows), you must choose special profile plastic or aluminum curtain rods.

A harmonious interior is formed from several components. Beautiful curtains for the kitchen can quickly and inexpensively transform the atmosphere. It is not necessary to wait for the next renovation to refresh the interior of the kitchen. It is enough to get acquainted with new trends in the world of design or expand ideas about the classic forms of curtains and apply the information received in practice.

The main aspects of the choice

Everyone has the right to set the rules for decorating the interior of his own house himself, but it is better to do this with an eye to the recommendations of professional designers. When choosing curtains, they are guided by the following selection criteria:

shape and length;
fabric texture;
colors.

News from the world of design insistently suggests abandoning complex curtains in the modern kitchen and hanging laconic models without unnecessary decorative elements. The length of the textiles is selected taking into account the area of the room. It is better to arrange a small space with short curtains; in a spacious kitchen, you can hang long curtains.

A kitchen is a room with a specific microclimate. Therefore, in pursuit of a beautiful interior, do not forget about practicality. To a greater extent, synthetic curtains meet the requirements of functionality. They are easy to wash, special impregnations endow the fabric with dust and dirt repellent properties.

Advice! It is extremely important not only to hang beautiful curtains in the kitchen, but also to take care of the ease of caring for them.

Natural fabrics are more capricious in their care, but certain interior styles imply just such an option for decorating the kitchen window. This trend is especially strong in eco-style and rural areas: country and Provence.

It is possible to beautifully decorate the window opening of the kitchen only with a competent combination of the color palette. The main factors determining the choice:

The size of the room. A small space does not accept dark tones and large patterns; it is better to hang plain curtains or pick up a discreet small pattern.
The degree of natural light. The darkened north side will be beautifully decorated with light curtains in warm colors. You can hang curtains of deep and rich colors on the sun-drenched kitchen, the palette of cold shades will look beautiful.
Features of the interior. Regardless of the color chosen for the design of the window, it is important that it resonates with other design elements. These can be decorative inserts on the facade of furniture or decorative elements in the form of napkins, tablecloths and pillows. It all depends on the style prevailing in the kitchen.

Not everyone likes the transience of fashion, so there is a galaxy of fans of classic curtain models. A complete overview of existing models will allow you to navigate the choice.

Classics of the genre: tulle + straight curtains

The combination of tulle and long curtains is ubiquitous and does not lose its relevance over time. Hanging beautiful curtains in the kitchen is not enough, in order to maintain the attractiveness of the interior, you must follow a few simple recommendations:

Large curtains attract a lot of dust, so they prefer textiles that are easy to clean.
The kitchen does not need high-quality darkening, like the bedroom. It is better to hang loose curtains on the window, which will preserve natural light in the daytime and will not give the interior a cluttering effect.
Long curtains look beautiful in a large kitchen, provided that there is no stove or stationary furniture next to the window.

When considering color combinations, white tulle is in the lead, but you can also hang pastel curtains. The palette of curtains has no particular restrictions, although plain light textiles look more advantageous.

Comment! If the kitchen curtains perform an exclusively decorative function, and there is no need to fence ourselves off from prying eyes, it is better to hang one tulle on the window without thick curtains. A laconic design is especially welcome in a small kitchen.

There are many ways to hang curtains beautifully:

Models with eyelets

Eyelets are capable of giving a new sound to the classic curtain model. In this case, the upper part of the curtains is sealed with a cloth strip and rings are fixed on it, intended for fixation on the cornice.

It is better to hang light tulle on plastic eyelets, which do not weigh down the fabric, thick curtains look beautiful with metal elements.

The curtains on the eyelets fall down in beautiful even folds, a similar method of fastening on the cornice is more suitable for long curtains, short models will not look so impressive.

If curtains on grommets are chosen for the kitchen interior, they do not need additional decorations or draperies. Eyelets in themselves are a decorative element; they look beautiful on curtain rods with original tips.

Favorite lambrequins

The decision to hang lambrequins on the window is considered carefully. Complex draperies in the kitchen are impractical and look harmonious only in spacious interiors. Following the designers' advice on brevity, the following variations of lambrequins are acceptable:

swag;
semi-wag;
drapery in the form of a scarf thrown over the cornice.

Light and light fabrics are chosen for decoration. It is better to exclude complex drapery designs, these include:

tie;
frill;
bells.

Decorative elements in the form of brushes and fringes are also best left aside.

Lambrequins of a rigid type on a bando correspond to the fashion trends. This option can be hung even in a small kitchen. Rigid lambrequins with a curly bottom edge look beautiful.

Window design with balcony door

The curtains to the kitchen, where the window is complemented by a balcony door, deserve special attention. You have to use the balcony with enviable regularity, so it is better to hang the curtain model taking into account the peculiarities of the window opening. There are several solutions:

Wide canvas, complemented by a pick-up. During the day, the curtain is open and does not interfere with the exit to the balcony, and in the evening it completely closes the window with the balcony door.
The interior of the kitchen looks classically beautiful if you hang two curtains with side grabs.
It will be useful to remember about asymmetry and layering. Tulle with a large bevel is placed on the side of the door, and the window closes the curtain to the floor.
In addition to the traditional ways of decorating the interior of the kitchen with tulle and curtains, Roman blinds are characterized by practicality, especially if they are hung on a window with a balcony. The advantages of decorating the kitchen interior with roman blinds will be discussed further.

Current solutions for short curtains

It is preferable to arrange a small space with short curtains. Designers offer several practical solutions:

Traditional tulle on the cornice.
Model "cafe" which came from France, which covers only the lower half of the window. Usually fixed to the line. Curtains look beautiful, complemented at the top with a narrow strip of fabric on the cornice.

Kiseya looks self-sufficient in the interior of the kitchen and does not need to be supplemented with other curtains, but, if necessary, it can be combined with curtains and blinds. Experiments are never forbidden.

Laconicism of roll and Roman models

If it is necessary to hide the interior of the kitchen in the evening from prying eyes, you can hang roller blinds, which, when raised, are wound on a shaft. Unlike other models, which for the most part are attached to the cornice, there are 3 ways to arrange roll structures:

traditionally on the wall above the window;
on the ceiling;
most often resort to the option of fixing directly on the window frame.

This is the most practical solution that does not create problems when opening a window for ventilation or using a balcony door.

Curtains differ in the material of manufacture. In the kitchen, you can hang fabric specimens, PVC products or bamboo straws. As always, when choosing a material and color scheme, they are guided by the stylistic solution of the interior. Models with photo printing look extraordinarily beautiful.

Roman curtains have some similarities with roll structures. The difference is in the way it is lifted. Due to the installed clamps, they are folded in transverse folds.

Roman blinds differ in the degree of shading:

If you hang transparent samples, they will replace the usual tulle in the kitchen.

Other models

The rest of the models are less common in the kitchen for various reasons:

Japanese panels. Spectacular and practical, they look beautiful on panoramic windows, and you can rarely find such in the interior of the kitchen.
Austrian curtains. A kind of mixture of Roman and French curtains. Usually they are in a raised state, so they do not hide the interior of the kitchen in the evening. Self-contained model that does not tolerate combination. They evoke a romantic atmosphere and are categorically not suitable for modern minimalism trends.
French curtains are famous for their lush scallops, and pretentiousness is not in trend now. They create difficulties in airing, quickly become polluted in an environment with unfavorable factors of influence. If you have an irresistible desire, it is better to hang it in a spacious room with a good ventilation system.

Examples of beautiful but impractical kitchen curtains are shown in the photo:

You can hang any curtains in the kitchen. To make them look beautiful, it is important to combine the texture of the fabric, color palette, length and model with the interior of the room and take into account the dominant stylistic direction.
