Original cotton curtains

Modern textiles never cease to amaze with their diversity. Often among the wealth of curtains is very difficult to choose really original models that emphasize the features of the interior and layout. Classic curtains, tulle and lace look very one-sided, depriving the interior of individuality. For those who want to decorate their apartment exclusively, the curtains made in the image of threads are perfect. Such products open for you a number of possibilities and innovations in the interior design of any rooms.

Based on the name of this type of product, it can be concluded that the basis of the curtains are threads, which are fabric bundles of different density. They are located on a common braid and create a cozy atmosphere in any home.

Cotton curtains have a number of features. They should be taken into account before making a choice in favor of acquiring such original models:

• Textiles in the form of threads let a lot of light into the room. Therefore, before choosing such curtains on the windows, consider the illumination of the room. If the windows face east or south, it is not always advisable to fill it with plenty of light, especially if it is a bedroom. Thread designs do not protect from insidious sunshine in the morning.
• Such curtains are not dark. If conventional models need to be removed as a matter of urgency, then the thread products do not require hasty cleaning, with the exception of very light colors. If the curtains are not made of fabric, then there are fewer problems with cleaning.
• Products from harnesses can be transformed depending on your needs and desires. Having shown your imagination, you can change the length and shape of the product, decorate it, tie it up or turn it into an entire artistic composition.

• Curtains made of muslin are quite durable in structure. They will serve you for a long time and will become an organic and functional addition to the apartment.
• The undoubted advantage of cotton curtains is their compatibility with almost any style of interior. Among all the variety of textures and colors there is an opportunity to choose those that will organically fit exactly into your apartment, regardless of the design concept.
• Remember that despite the visual resistance to dirt, textile textiles require quite careful care. The cleaning process can be quite long.
• Before buying curtains, especially models with sequins and sequins, think about the safety of small children or animals. Drawing attention, cotton curtains can be regarded as a toy, harm the health of pets or break as a result of carelessness.

Cotton curtains are classified according to many features and sometimes combine several characteristics simultaneously. Therefore, we should distinguish between the main types of products:

• According to the structure, the gauze can be represented in the form of thick or thin bundles.
• Threads can be both simple and twisted in the form of a spiral. The last option looks very original and gives the room extra comfort.
• Flat yarns in curtains are called "noodles."Their feature is greater opacity than all other models. Often, such a rope model is complemented with beads made of wood or plastic in the same style.
• Thin plastic threads are used to decorate the traditional design of muslin curtains. They are intertwined with the main bundles and create a pleasant flickering effect.
• Ribbons of small thickness often become an elegant alternative to ropes. They can be matte or satin, decorated with beads and other accessories. Such designs are quite easy to do by hand.
• Threads with lurex in a special way will play in muslin curtains. They create a shimmering glamor effect, while they look unobtrusive and stylish.

• For lovers of glamorous style, textile decor in the form of glass beads is perfect. Like crystals, glass beads flicker among textiles and gives the whole design a zest.
• As an alternative to glass beads, you can use other decorative stones. More restrained and delicate option will be pearls, even stones from old jewelry will fit, if you plan to create your own curtain design.
• Lovers of the classics can get curtains with lambrequin. Designed in the likeness of classic textiles, such products will bring novelty to your interior without disturbing its style.
• Jute thread suitable for fans of natural materials.
• A variety of design of cotton curtains even covered hard materials, such as wire, plastic, fishing line. You can even find metal structures. Such products are mainly used for arched openings.
• Curtains with threads may have both smooth and uneven edges. They may appear as a symmetrical, shaped or wavy design. The edges are chosen depending on the purpose of the room in which the curtains will be hung.

For textiles, almost all colors of the rainbow are provided. Both in finished form and custom-made yarn curtains can be decorated in any color interpretation and include several shades at the same time. But there are basic types of color:

• Monochrome design - the most simple and concise. It can include both pastel and bright shades.
• Two-color ensemble is often presented on models with lambrequins. In most cases, it combines similar shades. But the contrast is not excluded.
• White and black thread designs are not used often. Both of these options are selected for placement in bright colors. Black textiles are needed to accent, and light is chosen, if it is necessary to emphasize the integrity of the room.
• Among the rope curtains can be found gradient design. The color transition from the top to the bottom, often in the form of an ornament, will be an unusual design decision.
• Print in the style of "rainbow" has long been popular in the textile design of apartments. Cotton curtains are no exception. Bright colors will bring juicy notes into the interior.

In addition to color, it is worth thinking about the size and function of curtains before buying. Yarns can have 2 types of length, while the width of the structure is not limited. Short ropes can be up to the level of the window sill or slightly cover it.Long products take up space from the eaves to the very floor. In no case should they lie flat on the floor, otherwise there is a risk of stepping on the product and injuring themselves. Depending on how large the harnesses are, their total quantity in the product also varies. There will be much less thick spirals than thin ropes, because the basic concept of such a design of curtains is their lightness, airiness that flows in each thread.

When you have decided on the desired product, you should think about how best to place it on the eaves. According to the function of the curtains, it can be hung:

• On the window;
• In the doorway;
• As a zonal partition when dividing a room.
• Modern stores offer several mechanisms that can be used as fixing textiles on windows or doorways.

• Rod curtain rod - a suitable place for fastening curtains of filaments. The bar is inserted into the hole formed between the threads and the dense fabric lining. This fastening method is the easiest and fastest.
• Longer will be the placement of curtains with clothespins and rings.Clothespins that hold the rope structure near the window or door are attached to the rings put on the barbell.
• Curtains can be attached to the rings with hooks. They are inserted into a special ribbon, which is sewn to the top of the muslin and then attached to the rings.
• The time-tested method of fastening curtains is to make loops and with their help hang textiles on the eaves.
• Another simple option is to create a design with a tape-adhesive tape. To do this, one part of the tape is pre-glued to the desired surface so that the sticky part remains intact. Then it is joined by the other half of the structure, connected to the curtains.
• Eyelets are considered the most aesthetic and trendy way of fastening thread curtains. Evenly placed on the barbell rings, they form beautiful waves, filling the atmosphere with elegance.

An important factor is the purpose of the room where the placement of filament curtains is planned. For the kitchen are perfect short curtains of thread. They can be combined with tulle or used by themselves.In the living room you can often find long thread curtains on the windows. They give the interior a bright touch and are perfectly combined with a room for the reception of a narrow circle of friends or a hall for a large company.

In the bedroom, similar products can be seen on the windows, doors or as a zonal delimiter. Even the design of the balcony of the cotton curtains are not spared. On the loggias such curtains play a decorative role, especially in summer. The bedroom often includes the separation of the rest area from the work area. For such a technique hanging thread constructions are perfect. Textiles will create a soft transition from one zone to another and at the same time delimit the space.

Sometimes it is not enough just to hang thread curtains. They need to additionally arrange so that they look really creative and stylish. The most popular way is to pick up the textile structure in the middle or on the sides. Sometimes the curtains are tied with a tight rope or ribbon.This horizontal pickup dilutes the vertical structure and focuses attention on the window or doorway. A peculiar solution would be to use as a pickup a special solid construction. This method looks much more original than the usual tying, but it does not fit all styles of interior.

Many prefer to stab the threads together to adjust the shape of the construction. To do this, use a round fixture, similar to a hairpin. The threads in it are held with a special rod. An elegant version of the usual hairpins will be the device, complemented by a flower. Such anchorage will not only allow curtains to keep a certain shape, but will itself become an integral part of textiles.

There are several options for how to tie curtains of threads:

• Asymmetric technology implies some negligence. One part of the curtain is grabbed by a rubber band or barrette, while the other is free to occupy the rest of the cornice.This concept is suitable for modern interior styles.
• Sometimes the curtains are tied with the formation of a light lapping on the junction itself. This design also does not exclude negligence, but its disadvantage is that it is often necessary to unravel the threads that overlap with each other.
• The curtain can be divided into sections and tie knots only on some of them. A very popular version is with a knot in the central section and loose threads along the edges. Not less fashionable solution is to tie each section of the curtains, as a result of which several knots are formed.

To adjust the length of the thread curtain, you can use two methods:

• Visual. It involves tying the threads in such a way that, due to the formation of an overlap, their length will appear less.
• Technical method involves the use of tailoring tools to change the length of the thread. Cut off the extra part of the curtains will not work exactly if you put the product in the horizontal. Therefore, without removing the curtain from the eaves, cut it with scissors, using a sheet of paper or a book to maintain the level. Do not ottyagirovat each thread, before shortening it.

Before washing the thread curtains, you need to familiarize yourself with a number of rules so as not to spoil the product during the cleaning process:

• If possible, wash the curtains by hand.
• If you still use the washing machine, choose the most gentle washing mode.
• Before loading the machine into the drum, tie the curtain in several places or put it in a special cover for washing. This will help avoid unnecessary entanglement.
• Select the temperature and other parameters depending on the material from which the curtains are made.
• Dry the hanging structures only in an upright position, hanging them on the eaves and straightening all the threads.

To create the curtains yourself, you need a small amount of equipment and yarn from any material:

• Metal ruler;
• Aluminum wire;
• Scissors;
• Needle;
• Nippers;
• Cornice hinges.

First of all, you need to independently prepare the eaves for curtains. Use a simple wooden structure. If desired, it can be coated with paint or enamel.Build mounts on the eaves and supply them with rings of wire. To create the curtains themselves, fold the threads of the length you need exactly in relation to each other. A couple of centimeters of length should be additionally left for knots. After that, you can proceed to tying the threads to the cornice.

At the final stage, add curtains with the desired decorative elements - beads, metal parts and other attributes. You can create an impressive effect by placing the beads randomly, or by following a specific pattern, place them at the same distance from each other. Now you just have to fix the eaves with curtains on the prepared in advance plot.

Not everyone fully understands how you can create a truly interesting design of any room with the help of filament curtains. Decorators offer many creative ideas for decorating rooms using muslin curtains:

• Instead of classic lambrequins, divide the curtains into “strands” and create an airy pattern by weaving them.
• Use instead of simple threads "noodles" such that are connected by a pattern.
• Hang the zone curtain against the bed, forming a canopy in an unusual interpretation.
• Disguise several interior details with curtains of ropes and turn an ordinary living room into a party room.
• Hang the threads in vertical rows, imitating the design of wide louvers.
• Place the curtains near the built-in ceiling lights. This technique will create an interesting lighting effect.
• Against the background of a dark window frame, light muslin curtains will look especially elegant.
• Contrast can be created not only by color, but also by texture. One of the most bold decisions will be the combination of a muslin with thick curtains.

As an additional detail of the interior, such curtains will suit the styles Minimalism, Hi-tech, Eco, Oriental and European style.

Since thread-like curtains are very popular in the textile market, you can buy them in almost any store. But not everyone knows how to choose such curtains and what factors should be taken into account:

• In advance, measure the length of the eaves and pick up products twice as long.
• Pay attention to the thickness of the muslin. Try to pick up a product with a large number of threads, especially if they are thin.
• Pay attention to the fastening curtains.
• Pick up all the necessary accessories for additional decor.
• The prices for cotton curtains vary depending on the country of origin. The most budget option offers China. If you prefer the long service life of the product and its quality, then choose more expensive Turkish models and curtains from European manufacturers. They have the most positive reviews among customers.

The main function of all types of curtains is to make a room cozy. You can choose any model, but if you give preference to muslin curtains, you will feel not just comfort, but a special atmosphere that will not bore you for a long time.
