White curtains

Curtains are an irreplaceable accessory in an interior of the room. They should be perfectly combined with the design of the room, furniture, accessories and other details.

White curtains, regardless of the material and texture, have a lot of advantages:

• Monochromatic white curtains are a sign of excellent taste and grace, because they are perfectly combined with any interior and color of furniture, and also give the living room a festive look.
• If you do not specifically focus on the windows, the simplicity does not distract from the style and decoration of the room.
• Long white curtains are able to create the appearance of a high ceiling and visually expand the space.

Neutrality of white color is perfectly combined with any shade. If the room with light curtains seems too boring and simple, then the interior can be diluted with bright details. For example, you can change the wallpaper or accessories and furniture. The main thing is that there is no contrast and a sharp transition from one shade to another.

The combination of beige and white always creates a feeling of elegance and warmth. The combination of light curtains and various black details looks original and luxurious.
