If such a curtain is pushed apart, the diffused light will penetrate into the room through transparent strips. When the canvas is gathered in the folds, it becomes opaque and monotonous.

Double-layer curtains are textiles for window opening, consisting of two cloths. And the canvas should be located one on top of another. Often they are decorated with lambrequin. These canvases can be hung in various ways.

There are several types of double curtains:

• Classic. The model consists of two canvases: transparent and darker and more dense.Tulle acts as the bottom canvas, the upper layer can be a dark dense curtain, which can be replaced if necessary.

• Double roll. Rollers from fabric with alternation of strips of fabric of different density and color. This model allows you to combine two types of fabric, for example, tulle and velvet. The design opens and closes completely on several levels.

• Double Roman. Consist of a pair of independent canvases, which are controlled by different mechanisms. In the lower layer, light veils are used, the second canvas is dense, it does not allow UV light to pass through. Moving the canvas, you can change the level of illumination.

• functional characteristics do not depend on the method of attachment;
• stylish design - makes it easy to fit into any interior.

With the help of double curtains, sunlight penetrates the room. For a transparent layer, mesh or organza is often used.

Of the new products recently found shanzeliz. This satin fabric from the front side has a glossy sheen, the wrong side of it is matte. The fabric is considered to be translucent, so for a more complete protection from sunlight, it is better to choose dark colors or combine Shenselize with thick versions of curtain fabrics.

Often in double curtains heavy fabrics are shaded by chiffon, muslin or other transparent fabric. Two dense canvases are used in rooms if the windows are oriented south or east. The dark room does not have to be blacked out, here double curtains can contain all layers of translucent fabrics: linen, tulle, cotton, lace, decorative mesh.

In double curtains, the harmony of colors and shades is of great importance:

• Contrasting combinations are possible - for example, the most traditional black with white. You can play with semitones: for example, combining light brown and chocolate.
• For a visual increase in space, a palette of close purple and lilac colors is used. Green-brown tandem is calm and cozy.

Among the new designs of curtains are new versions of draperies. In this case, it is double curtains that provide full scope for creative imagination. Multilayer curtain fabric designs are fixed in new ways:

• two halves of curtains are hung in layers, with even stripes;
• one or two curtains can be attached to the wall clip;
• the upper fabric is tied in the middle, forming a “bishop’s sleeve”;

• blades are picked up on the sides by magnetic clips;
• crossed curtains - the cloths are hung in two rows across the entire width of the window, after which one curtain is fixed in one side, the second in the opposite side;
• two-legged versions are canvases from different layers, by analogy with the Japanese, which move along different furrows of a double cornice.

Crossed curtains come in different forms:

• from whole canvas. A large amount of fabric is twisted and fixed on the rod. Formed two curtains at the bottom tied up grabs;
• from two canvases. Two canvases are connected and attached to the eaves. At the bottom, each half is formed by grabs, holders or knots;

For the correct choice of double curtains in a particular room you need to remember some nuances.

Classic curtains will be out of place in the kitchen space; here it is most practical to use rolled double sheets. You can choose a dark blackout curtain to match the color of kitchen accents (bright tiles, furniture sets, textile decorations), and make the transparent layer white or pastel colors.

In the hall most often used classic and Roman curtains.For the bedroom, many options are suitable, most importantly, to give a soft look.

Some living rooms have several windows at once. This is most often found in corner apartments, where the windows face two sides. For a room with two windows with placement on one wall, the curtains are decorated with one very wide canvas of tulle, as well as two thick curtains. From different sides they can be clamped symmetrically, like lambrequins. The most suitable materials are satin, taffeta, velvet coffee color in combination with snow-white tulle. If the windows are located on different walls, the lambeks will have to be abandoned by choosing classic curtains. A classic-style living room will be decorated with almost all kinds of draperies.

For this type of room choose double curtains calm pastel shades. The classic combination of thick curtains and transparent tulle is the best fit for the bedroom. In the modern interior, blackout fabric is appropriate here - three-layer light-reflecting curtains. Each layer plays a role:

• outdoor - reflects the rays of the sun;
• medium - reflects heat;
• internal - decorative.

Practical fabrics are chosen for the kitchen. A double roman blind is very good here. If the kitchen windows are oriented to the north side, a strong blackout is not required. It uses double cotton curtains with an average level of light transmission.

Double curtains are appropriate in all interiors. A very interesting solution is double roman blinds. Two ordinary Roman structures are fixed one above the other, and each is equipped with a separate lifting mechanism. The main function of this curtain composition is to smoothly change the number of streams of light penetrating from the windows. Often this model is called "day-night." The upper curtain facing the room is made of heavy compacted fabric. The inner curtain, on the other hand, is made of translucent airy fabric.

Very fashionable combination of curtains of different types. For example, it is interesting to combine tulle and Roman or roll construction, blinds with transparent tulle. Roman light curtains in combination with transparent organza in light peach colors fill the white kitchen with sunshine.

The living room is filled with contrasts.Always the most win-win combination is black and white. Black with any shade of white - this contrast is ideal in any classic and modern interior style.
