Short curtains to the window sill in the bedroom

In the modern interior is not always a place for large and heavy curtains. Someone saves space, someone means. Short curtains in the bedroom to the windowsill will save the budget and perfectly perform all the functions of the "big" curtains.

Classic curtains usually cover the entire wall with a window opening from floor to ceiling. Of course, they have a number of advantages: they are beautiful, they are always the dominant style of the room, they perfectly protect the apartment from prying eyes and cold, and in the mornings they do not allow the sun to dazzle. They perfectly isolate from noise and allow you to have a slight mess on the windowsill.

However, even the lightest cotton curtains are usually complemented by lambrequin, grabs, decorative elements, and tulle. All this hangs on the eaves and is a heavy and large structure. What to say about heavy fabrics like satin, velvet, shinila! Curtains collect on themselves dust and dirt from the street. Remove, wash, iron them and hang back - this is a whole saga.And in families where there are animals, small children, as well as allergy sufferers and asthmatics - curtains can simply be dangerous.

Short curtains are not always curtains. There are many models that will end on the sill line, but all of them are:

• Have a modern and stylish look. Allow to realize in a interior different design decisions.
• Convenient to use. You can open and close such a curtain with a “flick of the wrist”.
• Do not require complex installation. Most mounts can be installed independently.
• Easy to remove for cleaning.Some options may easily change to others.
• Close the window from sunlight do not allow to see what is happening in the apartment from the street. Due to the closer fit to the glass, it is well protected from the cold in winter.
• Most types of short curtains perfect for placement in the bedroom.

Two short curtains that are mounted identically to the classic - on the eaves. If you find fault with the terms, the "curtains" suggest exactly 2 head-on blinds. But in the interior, it can be one - this curtain will just move aside to the side. To make such a thing in the interior look complete, it is recommended to “support” the textile solution of the curtains in other details, for example, to make decorative pillows from the same fabric, to cover the lamp shade. This rule applies to all models, however, the curtains "require" him more than others.

This type of curtains looks very good in those bedrooms where the space under the window sill is somehow decorated, for example, there is a niche in which a cabinet is installed. Short curtains may also have a small lambrequin, grabs. They can be hung on eyelets, hinges or even ties.

According to the style of such curtains are ideal for the bedrooms, decorated in a classic style, while saving space. Austrian curtains look like a straight curtain, gathered at the bottom. The assembly is made in a semicircle, forming festoons along the edge.French - collected in festoons along the entire length from top to bottom. Such curtains leave a huge amount of fabric, and due to the large number of assemblies, they are incredibly dense and “warm”. To give the interior of the bedroom a special solemnity, you can make a valance on the bed with festoons or a folding bedspread. The room will literally "marshmallow."

This option is suitable for country houses and cozy country-bedrooms, where you want every ray of the sun to “tickle your face in the morning.” The curtains are hung on a string in the middle of the window, leaving its upper part open (usually such curtains are hung in a cafe, by analogy curtains are made in trains). The upper part can be closed with a lambrequin or a short curtain hanging on a regular cornice.

A very popular window decor option. Roman curtains captivate ease of use - they resemble blinds, but still made of fabric. The variability has to them - the curtain can look quite strictly, alone, closing the entire window.It can be very frivolous, if a separate construction is sewn on each flap - this way you can open and close them to different lengths, creating asymmetry.

The bottom of the Roman curtains can be straight (if a rake is inserted there) or gently sag, forming a rounded edge (if the rail is not inserted there). Depending on the type of curtains and the chosen fabric, they can fit into a bedroom of absolutely any style - classical, modern, country, Provence, loft, scandi.

Another type of curtain that rises with a cord. By design, they are quite simple - rolled into a roll with the help of a simple device. They can easily be made independently, having found the instruction in a network. These curtains will look good in country bedrooms, or rooms where the furniture is deliberately simple, but I want to create a feeling of home warmth and comfort. You can play with colors - because the curtain will be rolled up during the day,Many housewives sew them bilateral - the contrast fabric of the lining can perfectly play in the interior and set off the motif of the main fabric.

Option for unassuming. They are, of course, too much like blinds, and the fabrics that are used to make them are too hard. However, they are well protected from the sun (if you pick up black out material), they accumulate much less dust than their soft tissue mates. As care, it is enough to wipe the curtains with a damp cloth and the most important thing is to install them once, you can change the fabric countless times! Roll options are suitable for minimalist bedrooms. They can be quite bright, as they almost do not take up space and completely open the window sill. Another plus is that their cost is quite low.

A variety of roller blinds - bamboo. They are woven of thin twigs of bamboo and look very warm and homely. These options are suitable for bedrooms in the ethno-style, which uses a lot of wood in the interior.

For a room without a balcony, all the above types of curtains will suit the same. If your bedroom has an exit to the loggia, then you should think about how to arrange it so that it is convenient to use. Classic blinds are likely not suitable.They will have to constantly move away - they quickly get dirty. In addition, if the door to the balcony is open, the curtain will constantly move from the wind. The ideal option for such a window would be curtains that rise and are located directly on the windows themselves, and not on the eaves - Roman, roll, Scandinavian.

It is possible to combine different models of curtains for different reasons. It gives functionality. For example, as in the case with the balcony situation described above. Or if you want to hang elegant, weightless tulle curtains, but the question arises about closing the window from prying eyes. For this, the glass itself is closed by a roller blind, and tulle is hung on the window opening. In the afternoon, the roll can be removed up and it will not be visible at all. In addition, interesting window design solutions are often built on the contrast of colors, textures and lengths.

Thus you can beat the horizontal and vertical.Olive curtains with a white top open behind a Roman curtain with a striped pattern. Olive stripes repeat the line of the main color of the curtains, and white shade the white horizontal line. So in the room it becomes lighter and quite deaf main curtains look very even light.

The very beautiful curtain on the decorative hinges is most likely permanently in the assembled position. It has a purely aesthetic function. But the rest of the "work" goes to a stylish roller blind, which delicately covers the window. Shades so coincide that both elements of a decor seem continuation of each other.

Here the Roman curtain plays the role of tulle, however, the curtains themselves are the same tulle. It turns out a double layer, which in itself is more functional.

Absolutely “deaf” chocolate-colored curtains and the same blind curtain look very unbanal and noble.In combination with perfectly white walls and furniture in the color of chocolate, the window becomes the center of attention - after all, so dark curtains are rarely found in apartments. The interior is “diluted” with olive and light gray colors.
