Curtains are not just a design element. They are one of the main design elements of the interior. In addition to the utilitarian function of hiding the inner life of the house from outside views and opening the room towards the sun's rays, the curtains carry a serious aesthetic load. It is difficult to achieve a holistic perception of an interior of any style without a window frame. And the best way to cope with this task is not blinds, roller blinds, roller shutters, but curtains.

Fashion for curtains

Fashion exists for everything, including the styles of window decoration and, separately, for the curtains themselves. How can these or those curtains be in fashion? - You ask - It's not clothes, shoes, accessories. But even the “little black dress” in the original was not so small (up to the knee), and later underwent and continues to undergo many changes. What can we say about the product, the variants of which there are probably several thousand.

Curtain fashion depends on general design trends that designers will use in the near future. These trends are usually known because the trends for the year and even for several years are shown at the world interior design exhibitions.

2017 was no exception - it is already known that the general direction of interior styles will be closer to natural. ... Maximum simplicity and naturalization are encouraged in materials, colors, lines. At the same time, it is not country style, but just harmony with nature.

Curtains on the kitchen window

The kitchen space can be called the most important place in any apartment, without exaggeration. Here not only "goodies" are created, but also good mood, well-being, relationships. The kitchen window needs a special frame to create a cozy atmosphere. It should be beautiful and fashionable. How to make it like this without special efforts? Find the perfect curtains!

Styles and directions

In the choice of curtains for the kitchen window, we will begin to "dance from the stove." First you need to decide on the existing design style. kitchen area so that the style of the curtains is in harmony with it. If you are on the eve of or in the process of renovating a kitchen or creating a design in new apartment, there are more opportunities, but in this case the harmonization issue should be approached more carefully.

Interior styles that will dominate in 2017:

• Scandinavian.
• Boho.
• High tech.
• Eco-style.
• Victorian.
• Empire style.
• Minimalism.

Despite the inconsistency of the above list, fashion trends varied and give a wide range of choices. But in each of these styles, you can harmoniously fit the basic colors and shapes that fashion designers have chosen for kitchen curtains in 2017.

Colors and shapes

Window textiles will be welcomed in subdued tones. Shades of pure, calm natural colors are preferable to bright acidic compilations.

The following curtain colors are in fashion:

• All shades of yellow.
• Natural shades of green (grass, foliage, vegetation).
• Olive and its variations.
• Brown, sand, beige.
• White and gray.
• Pastel colors - lilac, pink, light green, blue.

I would like to say a few words about the brown color, which until now has been undeservedly forgotten by designers and was used almost exclusively in classic interiors... Victorian style allows brown and all its varied shades to return to the "catwalk" and shine to the fullest. Brown is suitable for Scandinavian cuisine (light brown), and high-tech kitchen (chocolate), and eco-style (wood, earth). And the classic brown color - deep, velvet, will be the missing element in creating a Victorian interior.

Caramel, brown sugar, cinnamon, chocolate, cocoa, paprika, nutmeg, dried ginger, cloves, ground pepper are all shades of brown that will look great on kitchen curtains.

As for the models of curtain compositions, the tendencies here are moving away from the simplicity of Mother Nature's lines to pomp and layering.

Moreover, intricate draperies will be used both for the Victorian style and for Scandinavian interior and even high-tech interior. Harmony can be achieved through the skillful use of combinations of different fabrics.

Fashionable tack for curtains

Trendy materials for the manufacture of curtains in next year will become:

• tulle;
• cotton;
• wool;
• jute;
• silk;
• velvet;
• taffeta;
• bamboo;

Moreover, all these fabrics are allowed and even strongly recommended to be combined with each other, as well as to use ribbons, lace and other "luxurious things" for finishing. This will be especially appropriate for the boho style. And on the kitchen window in scandinavian style embroidered curtains can be ideal.

As for the prints, in the new year they will practically not be on the kitchen curtains. "Clothes" for a fashionable kitchen window should be monochromatic, but not the same color. The multi-layered texture was invented precisely in order to create masterpiece curtains in a combination of several fabrics of related harmonious shades. Successful combination natural shades without prints will give the curtains the necessary volume, emphasize the depth of color and make the entire window opening stylish and sophisticated.

If you really want to use fabrics with a pattern to create curtains, give preference to floristic large prints for hi-tech, empire, minimalism, eco-style and boho. Victorian style will be better combined with textiles in small flower... And the Scandinavian is suitable for a medium-sized ornament, not geometric, but also with natural elements.

Curtains for a small kitchen

V small kitchen most often the window will not large sizes... But this does not mean that its decoration can be treated with disdain. On the contrary, curtains for a small window of a small kitchen need to be selected most carefully.

In small or poorly lit rooms, it is worth choosing several light harmonious shades for curtains. Ideally, no more than two in one curtain plus a one-color curtain. It is recommended to use tulle or organza for curtains.

The kitchen window, including the small one, is characterized by a peculiarity - most often it is combined with a balcony. Therefore, the need sometimes arises both for a combined curtain that closes the door, and for a curtain that closes the window. If you need a drapery of just such a plan, it is better to make two freestanding curtains on different eaves, which differ from each other in shade or in the presence / absence of a print. From these two curtains, you can create a harmonious ensemble, and, by experimenting, interesting options there are several - with one open or two closed curtains - a different effect.

In a small kitchen, you should not use pretentious draperies with large accessories for the window. Even a large print can only be strict, in the style of minimalism. Layering is achieved through a combination of lightweight fabrics. Jute with organza or tulle can give an interesting combination. Tulle and silk. Bamboo, linen and fine wool will do. But taffeta and velvet on a small kitchen window are best avoided.

Most of all to small window suitable curtains in the new fashionable style a cafe. And roller blinds of various modifications.

Curtains for the window of a large kitchen

Here the scope for the flight of design ideas is much wider. You can use absolutely all fashionable fabrics, make the structure heavier with eyelets, supplement with lambrequins, ruffles, chill molds, and frill.

For a large kitchen window, it is good to use French, English, Austrian curtains.

Variations from several fabrics are also acceptable here as a curtain. And the curtains can be made of velvet, wool, linen, taffeta or silk.

If in a small kitchen it is recommended to separate the window and balcony curtain, this is not necessary for a large window. Here you can create a single drapery complex of curtains, since the window, like the door, can be closed with curtains to the floor (if the room allows you not to use the window sill as an additional working or dining surface).

Preferred types of kitchen curtains for 2017 models.

1. Asymmetric (beveled curtains).
2. Curtains on the side grips.
3. Curtains with lambrequins and perekid.
4. Austrian curtains that are gathered around the edge in round pleats.
5. Arched curtains.
6. Lush multi-fold French draperies.
7. Solid fabric English (London) curtains with a fluffy flexible pleat in the center and bows at the ends.
8. Roman, which are canvases of fabric in a roll (roller blinds).
9. Cafe-style curtains.

And one more fashion trend, which is especially emphasized by many designers - hand-made curtains. Hand-made products are always at the peak of fashion and popularity. They are always unique. And only they can not only bring coziness and comfort to your kitchen, but create a real atmosphere of your beloved home.

An elementary change of curtains will help to transform a long-boring interior in an instant, besides the process itself is short-lived and economical. And if the choice of curtains is made in accordance with the rules, then not only the interior will be transformed, but also the room as a whole. After all, correctly selected curtains can visually expand the space, increase the volume and make contrasting accents.

However, the choice of curtains is not as simple as it seems at first glance. To create the necessary fashionable design window openings, you need, as they say, to keep up with fashion, have great taste and have some knowledge in the field of design craft. This is what our article is about today.

2017 season trend

The range of new curtains is not updated too often, like high fashion, and yet about the most current trends I would like to know if the new clothes on the windows are stylish and fashionable. The trend of this season is naturalness of fabrics, naturalness of prints and shades. Fabrics such as silk, organza, linen, satin, etc. are in favor.

The most demanded and loved is flax, due to its practicality, durability and unpretentious operation. Bamboo curtains also managed to fall in love with many, as well as combinations of synthetics and natural materials. More broadly fashion curtains presented in the photo.

The main trend of the year is the uniformity of curtain models. Professionals say that a basic shade can give character to an entire room. Against this background, the following rule will be relevant: lighter walls will suit a bright and rich design of windows, and dark ones - more muted and calm.

But do not think that crystal white organza curtains will not suit a snow-white room. Not at all, in this matter you can safely fantasize and experiment. What if your brilliant idea can surpass the skill of interior stylists.

Monolayer is also popular with designers this season, albeit not the first season. Simply put, use one thing in the design: either tulle, or curtains, but not all together. Don't forget, all ingenious is simple.

The relevance of the color palette 2017

Undoubtedly, the tone of the entire room is set by the colors of the curtains, as well as their very nature. Today, natural shades of colors are in fashion at the peak of popularity. Especially curtains of darker and colder shades: blue, chocolate, emerald, smoky, etc.

In addition, style designers recommend using deep blue-green shades that are good for any interior and also bring a touch of freshness to the room. For example, in the bedroom it is better to use color range more peaceful and soft, it can be curtains in the color of olive, mint or emerald. The colors of the sea wave and the azure sky will help to add coziness to the living room.

White color is again in front of everyone, especially in tandem with light textures of fabrics, which makes the product weightless and visually expands the space. Both curtains and curtains can be snow-white at the same time. But, the texture of the curtains should be airy (silk or cotton).

The relevance of prints and colors 2017

Despite the fact that plain curtains are the most fashionable in the 2017 season, products with a variety of prints and colors also have a right to exist. So, the 80s are in trend again, and this is noticeable in the return of eclecticism to the heights of popularity.

At the same time, the fashionable colors of this era are moving. The most relevant are models with large-sized colors, various stripes, geometry, futurism.

The theme of nature is in no way inferior to prints or monotony. Curtains depicting plants, imitation of snakeskin, flora representatives, etc., photo printing with landscape panoramas are also in demand today by consumers.

Another fashionable design element is the decorativeness of curtains. Their main function is to complete a certain style of the room, and not to protect them from the rays of the sun or the views of onlookers from the street. Drawings on curtains, as on furniture upholstery or wallpaper, are very effective.

Fashion styles 2017

The main trend among stylish curtains the volume of the product is considered. Great amount folds, frills or layers using different fabrics will visually expand the space. But one condition: they must be made of airy materials and light colors... Otherwise, the effect will not work and you can ruin everything.

Along with the bulkiness of products, Japanese and Roman models of curtains are in fashion. Roman - these are wide strips of fabric, folded using a certain mechanism. The length of the curtains can be adjusted as you wish. For rooms in a minimalist style, they will be an excellent interior solution.

Japanese - look like panels moving along the window opening, like a wardrobe. The use of this option is possible for a nursery, study or living room, they skip well sunlight while softening it.

Fashionable eyelets on curtains are also in trend. They will become an ideal decoration for a modern interior solution of premises both in the city and beyond. The coats flowing from the ceiling to the floor will leave no one indifferent. In this case, it is worth using cornices, which will ensure the effect by 100% and visually increase the height of the ceiling part.

High ceilings in the house can be decorated with fashionable curtains made of airy tulle on hidden cornices, curtains-muslin in the form of threads from synthetic materials, closely connected to each other, threads of different colors or the same tone, with rhinestones, beads, stones, etc.

Although swagas and lambrequins are no longer so fashionable, they are still loved by many. Moreover, for the classic style of a dimensional room, this is an ideal option.

Selection rules

To make the right choice, you should use the following tips:

The primary task is to determine the overall style of the room. For example, products with eyelets are perfectly combined with minimalism, hi-tech or modern. Massive curtains and lambrequins are suitable for the Empire or Baroque style.

For country or eclecticism, ordinary tulle should be preferred. Provence will be complemented by models with tacks. Curtains-muslin for aristocratic style. Roman blinds for the modern.

It is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the window and its location. Do not use dark curtains on small windows, better Roman or Japanese. For high windows voluminous models with draperies or lambrequins are suitable. If there are two or more window openings, use curtains of the same color with eyelets.

Consider the color scheme of the entire interior. In this case, it is worth remembering the rule: bright walls are a simple window design. But there are also exceptions. For example, in the case of white, purple, chocolate or gray colors. The main thing here is to use colors slightly different by one or a couple of tones. And the room will cease to be boring.
