Peculiarities

Curtains in the interior are not only a decorative element, but also carry a certain functionality. And their choice depends on what requirements are put forward to them.

The kitchen usually cooks a lot and the curtains quickly absorb odors and get dirty. In this regard, the curtains for the kitchen should be chosen from materials that repel dirt, or from those that are easy to wash and then iron. Materials such as cotton or polyester work well.

There are open fires in kitchens, or it happens that hot oil starts to splatter. This could ignite the curtains. Therefore, modern industry produces kitchen curtains impregnated against fire.

How long should kitchen curtains be? It depends on many factors.

• If the wall where the window is located is empty, then it is recommended to use floor-length curtains.
• If there is a sink near the window, then the best way there will be roller blinds, Roman blinds or blinds.
• If there is a table in front of the window, then the best option would be short curtains with a cutout in the form of an arch on the tulle, so that when sitting at the table, a view of the street opens and there is unhindered access to the windowsill.

If curtains in your kitchen are easy decorative element, then here you can give place to the flight of fancy. A tulle or organza curtain will look quite harmonious in your kitchen. You can also choose any drawing. Wildflowers or fruits on a curtain would work great here.

When choosing clothes for windows in the kitchen, do not forget about the style in which this room is made as a whole. They should not bring dissonance into the overall picture of the kitchen.

Another feature of placing curtains in the kitchen is how much space they occupy. If the wall adjacent to the window is not occupied by anything, you should not hang a cornice and place curtains only above the window. It will look cropped, incomplete. It is necessary to close the entire wall with curtains, then the look of the kitchen will change for the better.

If there is access to the balcony from the kitchen, then it is necessary to make a cut in the curtain for unhindered access to the door, or hang a muslin instead of curtains.

Colors are one of the main tools for a designer. With their help, you can visually change the parameters of the room, set the desired accents, or vice versa, hide any flaws. This also applies to curtain colors. That is why the choice of their colors is very important.

There are several aspects to choosing a particular line of colors. Here are the main ones.

interior ideas

Modern design windows are not only fashionable and beautiful, but also practical. Here are some ideas for different stylistic solutions.

Small kitchen design

The main task in such confined space- this is to let in a large amount of light, thereby visually increasing the space. Here, the best choice would be light translucent fabrics of light shades. In no case do not burden the windows with curtains with many layers, lambrequins, various voluminous draperies. This is no doubt beautiful, but it will make the interior heavier, taking away expensive centimeters of space.

It is better to choose plain curtains from tulle, organza, cotton. Large ornaments are not allowed. Vertical stripes, on the other hand, will help increase the height of the ceiling.

If the window in the kitchen is small, you need to provide for the size of the curtains wider than the window opening.

Access to the window sill should be open, as this space can also be equipped with benefit.

The most suitable types of kitchen curtains for a small area are Roman, Austrian, roller blinds and all their options. You can also purchase ready-made curtains with a curtain in the shape of an arch.

If the kitchen is on the shady side, it is appropriate to decorate the window with only a small hard lambrequin.
