Curtains for the living room modern. Art Nouveau curtains: noble luxury in the interior

The Art Nouveau style appeared in the second half of the 19th century, at a time when invention was in vogue, but it had already become clear that the ideas of scientists were both genius and stupidity. The age of vinyl, records, CDs, consumer goods was approaching. Art Nouveau has become a magical obstacle to progress, which caused negative emotions in people, on the path of rapid change.

It is characterized by aristocracy and ecological cleanliness, intricacy, ornateness, elegance of the jungle, the Mariana Trench. In the XXI century, it is relevant in the interior design of residential premises, as in former times.

Modern is too

To create such an original design without the help of a specialist, without redevelopment, in one of the rooms, whether it be a bedroom, living room or kitchen, in a house or apartment as a whole, is perhaps difficult. The average room, at first glance, comes into conflict with it. The usual layout is devoid of brilliance, gloss. Despite its beauty, one can feel insecure. Can you afford such magnificence? Is it practical, rational to create such a design at home?

Curtains are one of the most important elements in the interior design of any room. In addition to the fact that they carry a functional load - they cover from the sun and from prying eyes - they are, to a large extent, responsible for the overall impression. Even the most sophisticated interior can be ruined by poorly chosen curtains. Therefore, we choose curtains for the living room based on several criteria. Firstly, style, secondly, colors.

General rules

First of all, you need to decide on the color scheme and type of fabric. For curtains, you must select the following options:

• determine the density of the fabric: take a very dense heavy fabric, or a lighter, flowing one;
• type of coloring - one-colored or with a pattern;
• the texture of the canvas - the surface is matte or shiny, or maybe alternating stripes of both textures.

According to a similar scheme, curtains are also selected. One point: if you want lace curtains - a novelty of this season - plain-colored curtains or with elements of the same pattern, but present in the form of a border or border, would be more appropriate.

The color of the curtains for the living room are selected based on the general nature of the design. If the general turned out to be very calm, you can focus on the window: make curtains or curtains brighter, and add a couple of little things of the same color in the interior. This will help to revive the overall picture and give a different sound.

If you need to highlight, say, a recreation area, then decorate the window in the same colors as the walls, maybe playing a little with shades: darker-lighter, depending on the situation.

Curtains in the living room of different styles

There are many types of curtains - classic - with and without lambrequins, Austrian, French, Japanese, Roman, rolled. At the same time, classic ones can be hung on hooks, eyelets (rings in the fabric), loops. All of them have their own differences and the appearance of the window changes significantly, which is why only some of the listed ones are suitable for each of the design styles.

Modern style - modern

The current rhythm of life dictates to us the styles of design - the fewer details, the better: finding time for cleaning is not easy, and the classic looks somehow too pastoral. In any case, in city apartments they are trying to get away from a large number of frills and draperies: dust will be collected less.

In the living rooms of a modern interior, classic curtains look good - curtains and drapes. Only definitely without lambequins, garters and other ways of drapery. The lines are straight and clear, the fabrics are completely without shine or with a slightly noticeable reflection, similar to the radiance of silk.

You can fit into such an environment and the novelty of the last year - filament curtains. They can go as a "second layer" on the main fabric.

Japanese curtains look good. These are absolutely flat canvases of small width. They are ideal for small spaces. They can be, as in the first photo, two-color or have more shades or a pattern - floral or graphic - you select according to the situation.

If desired, you can hang rolled or Roman models on the window - there are many discrepancies in style. If you like this combination - please. Looks really modern.

Minimalism and high-tech

Styles have significant differences, but the same models are used in the design of windows: straight, even. Fabrics - plain, without patterns or with clear graphics, it is possible to use photo printing.

This is primarily used by classic curtains on the grommets. They are made from a fabric with a more or less pronounced sheen, which emphasizes the geometry of the folds: they are all even and the same with such a suspension.

Clear folds - plain fabrics

As a rule, a bright shine is inherent in high-tech, a more subdued one is more common in minimalism, but there is no hard and fast rule.

Interesting combinations of two types of curtains. For example, Japanese and classic, and in both variations. In the first photo - the design of the panoramic window in the living room. Curtains - Japanese type, from a light transparent white veil, curtains of a classic design from dense brown fabric.

Combined curtains - Japanese and classic

The reverse combination looks more rigorous - ordinary organza curtains with a small number of folds and absolutely even Japanese curtains of pale green color. The same shade is in textiles, a little lighter - on the ceiling.

Roller blinds and Roman blinds are combined with minimalism and hi-tech. Fabrics - monophonic, it is possible with a metallic sheen.

Curtains for the living room in a classic style

Already from the name of the style it is clear that classic models will definitely fit. And here are some - you choose. After all, the classics can also be different - in the Empire or Rococo style - lush expensive fabrics with bright sheen and plentiful draperies, both on the sides and in the upper part, will go.

English classic - requires a completely different window design. The same models can be used, but matte fabrics, lying in heavy folds - on the grommets are more suitable.

Calmer colors, non-shine fabric - the effect is different, and the style is classic

For a living room in a classic style, French curtains are also suitable. They may be too ceremonial and not quite practical, but they look chic and give some kind of romance.

The model in the photo is made of organza with a golden sheen. She repeats almost exactly the gilding on the furniture. Such a model requires large windows and a decent area, with high ceilings: abundant draperies look just like that.

Another option for this style is Austrian. This is also drapery, and similar to French, but not on the entire surface, but only in part - at the top or bottom

Austrian curtains - drapery at the bottom or at the top

They look great in a bay window, they will look good on a panoramic window. Drapery can be done at the top, as well as not only on curtains, but also on curtains.

Creating a living room decor, you want to get something special, but always modern and attractive. Being engaged in the selection of furniture, the design of walls and ceilings, one cannot lose sight of the purchase of curtains, which play an equally important role in the decor of any room. Today, their various models are relevant, including those in the Art Nouveau style. What they are, what are distinctive and interesting, let's try to figure it out.

Curtains for the living room in modern style

Style Features

Art Nouveau originated at the beginning of the 20th century, but did not last long, as it was replaced by new styles that were gaining popularity. Meanwhile, it did not disappear completely, it periodically revived, which can be observed today. The characteristic features of this style are smooth and curved lines, a variety of intricate images and floral patterns, natural motifs. All this is reflected in the design of curtains, which are currently actively used to decorate living rooms and other residential premises.

Fabric and decor

Art Nouveau curtains (pictured) are sewn from light noble fabrics that can flow, radiate shine and be translucent. Along with plain fabrics, fabrics decorated with a pattern are also widely used. So, on a variety of models made in this style, you can see fabulous creatures, outlandish plants, or an interesting combination of shapes and lines. Life, located on the material, continuously pleases the eye, uplifts the mood and causes a sea of ​​positive emotions. It is worth noting that this style does not accept the use of static and frozen forms, as well as too bright colors. So, the living room will really come to life and be filled with a fabulous atmosphere.

Characteristics

They have already been listed a little higher, but here I would like to pay attention to some more that distinguish Art Nouveau curtains for the living room from others. Firstly, the essential attributes of each model are a lambrequin, deep folds and drapery (see photo). Secondly, the presence of curved lines that can "hide" both in the form and in the drawing. Thirdly, the presence of a slight disorder, which seems to be present, but does not spoil the whole picture at all, but, on the contrary, gives it a certain zest.

Mounting method

Speaking of mess, it is worth noting the unusual way of attaching curtains, which consists in the fact that the fabric cloth is simply thrown onto the cornice and may not be fixed in any way. It looks very impressive and, however, unusual. Some models, made in the Art Nouveau style, can be attached to the eaves by means of ribbons, loops, eyelets. Additional fasteners can be represented by special holders located in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe window sill. With their help, you can collect the fabric, giving it the desired shape (example in the photo).

Art Nouveau curtains are always fresh, new, stylish. They will be an excellent addition to almost any modern interior, because each model is interesting in its own way. A rich selection of colors and patterns allows you to choose something that will enliven the living room, bring some zest to it. The most important thing is to choose something that can harmonize with other elements of decor and echo with them.

The term "modern" is associated with innovation, but as a style name it has its own characteristics.

It has elegance and grace of smooth forms, refinement of taste in every element of the interior. But in any design, curtains give a finished look.

The main features of modern

The design of Art Nouveau curtains does not differ much from the usual windows, these are curtains, pleated blinds, Roman blinds, or roller blinds. The main characteristic of the style is the way inherent in this design style. Consider what distinguishes modern from others.

There remains the smoothness of lines, the main distinguishing feature of Art Nouveau. But originality will be given by the asymmetry of lines or the complexity of the cut. This is not chaos, but well-thought-out effective compositions, where designers' fantasies are applied.

Here you will not find geometric rigor. Soft lines are often used in connecting transitions, which creates a single image.

Some rules for modern curtains

In order to avoid mixing styles, you need to follow a few rules. Art Nouveau curtains, in addition to asymmetry, have pickups at different levels, lambrequins and asymmetrical draperies. This can be achieved by a random arrangement of materials of different densities.

The next attribute of modernity is the spectacular layering of curtains. But if you get carried away, the window can look comical.

The most popular option is a translucent thin curtain and two curtains, different in density and even color, draperies are required.

The quality of the fabric is of great importance:

• It is better to choose thick curtains from luxurious soft velvet, a beautiful satin will do.
• Kitchen curtains are designed to be gently flowing and translucent. Tulle has such characteristics, as well as silk or shiny organza. Expensive guipure, a thin veil to give exquisite chic will do.
• Blinds are not suitable for the design of modern curtains, although they perfectly protect from the bright sun. It is more convenient to use curtains made of dense fabrics.
• It is possible to use roller blinds, but then you need to choose beautiful plant motifs, for example, in the living room (hall).

Modern color palette

Modern is a style free from restrictions, there are no rigid style frames in certain colors. Preference should be given to rich shades: purple, purple, dark green or burgundy.

Beautiful calm colors are suitable: white, sand, metallic, gold.

In this style, various combinations of different shades of the same color are allowed, but opposite colors can also be taken.

Also, a distinctive feature of Art Nouveau is the possibility of a pattern with motifs of plants and flowers, an unusual ornament.

Beautiful borders should clearly echo different elements of the interior: animals from mythology or exotic plants are possible.

Curtains for the bedroom

A place for relaxation and a quick sleep is a bedroom where interior details are thought out, but curtains give completeness to the design.

Art Nouveau dictates an abundance of draperies on the fabric. If there is no taste, then beauty can be turned into a clutter of matter, which can make the entire interior of the bedroom heavier.

Drapes made of dense fabrics are required, which is important for complete isolation from the outside world for a good sleep. Ideally, if the curtains in color or pattern echo the textiles in the room, creating a single composition.

The color spectrum should be chosen gentle and airy to create a cozy atmosphere of home comfort. Pastel colors are ideal for this, as well as light blue or pink shades.

Well fit into the print style with floral patterns or different animals.

Modern window decor in the living room

To choose curtains and curtains in the living room (hall), any fantasy can be easily realized. A lot of draperies, various forms of lambrequins, original tacks will perfectly fit into the style.

The main thing is to create a dynamic image - "pseudo-chaos", which is a classic characteristic of modernity.

To decorate curtains, you need to choose an unusual cornice, preferably with plant details, with the same curtain holders.

Curtains should be beautifully combined with a single design of the hall (living room). Saturated or even dark shades are appropriate, especially beautiful with high windows and spacious rooms.

Modern curtains in the kitchen

Art Nouveau kitchen curtains are characterized by multilayer draperies. A large area of ​​​​the kitchen is a rarity; long curtains with draperies made of dense fabrics will be inconvenient.

It is better to choose short curtains made of translucent light fabrics, effectively pleated. A small drawing is possible, games with contrasts are also possible, especially if you create asymmetry.

Modern curtains for the kitchen must be beautifully combined with the color scheme of the kitchen and style. Designers advise "delicious" colors for curtains: peach, vanilla or chocolate. You can have a sandy shade, such curtains get less dirty and create a special aura.

Modern, elegant, charming Art Nouveau is chosen for the design of apartments, as well as offices, restaurants and other public buildings. This is a versatile style that can decorate any interior. When choosing curtains in this style, give preference to unusual shapes, affirming colors, and decorative novelties.

Choice breadth

The photo shows curtains in modern style, which perfectly complement the sophisticated living room.

What textiles will best emphasize the modern design of the room? Austrian, Roman, or maybe French curtains? There is no single answer. The beauty of modernity lies in the fact that it gives free rein to imagination, allows you to combine ideas, colors, materials to your taste, creating a creative mess.

You can choose any type of curtains: on grommets and hinges, on drawstrings, tiebacks, with various lambrequins. The main thing is that they fully comply with the modern spirit, be unique and complemented by beautiful decorative elements and fittings.

Successful combinations

In order for the textiles you have chosen to fully meet the style, pay attention to the fundamental points.

Decoration techniques

To decorate the window with the selected curtains, use one of the methods:

• a piece of chiffon or tulle is folded in even folds and wrapped around the cornice in an arbitrary shape, straightening the fabric in some places to create volume;
• the curtain is thrown on the cornice without fixing it, and distributed at their discretion;
• the free edge of the products is fixed on the side with a cord, wide pickup or colored ribbon;
• double curtains are picked up at different heights, achieving asymmetry.

It is worth taking the time to choose the original cornice, which will emphasize the modernity of the curtains. It can be a forged or chrome-plated product with ornate edges on the theme of flora or fauna.

Selection principle

When decorating windows in a country house, a small apartment or in an office, one should take into account the functional purpose, mood and character of each room. So, for example, straight long curtains with an unusual pattern are suitable in combination with plain curtains.

The color scheme should be in harmony with decor and furniture. Light delicate shades will visually expand a small room.

And for a spacious room, you can pick up canvases of dark muted tones that will add comfort and privacy.

In the Art Nouveau kitchen, you can use disproportionate tulle, cut obliquely, decorated with curved lambrequins, or combining several contrasting tones.

For the office, they choose the most unthinkable combinations of shapes, colors and textures.

Art Nouveau curtains are an opportunity to show design abilities, to express your attitude. They will become a highlight of any interior, emphasizing the unusualness and relevance.
