Fashion trends

Now you can find many beautiful designs of curtains for the living room. Pick up fashionable curtains or curtains can anyone, even without being a designer. The main thing is to know which trends in curtain design are most popular.

By 2017, a wave of adoration of ethnic and Scandinavian styles had already passed, so that curtains with an active geometric print and national patterns gradually fade into the background.

In a fashion simple forms and textures.therefore, a good curtain to the floor without additional details would be a good option.It is worth forgetting about lush curtains with active fittings and lambrequins. The basic rule of modern design of curtains for the living room is conciseness and elegance.

The use of protruding elements is welcome only for apartments with high ceilings. In this case, the fabric curtains should flow nicely, and along the length they should reach the floor. Trendy curtains should not look too perfect, there must always be some negligence and naturalness. Otherwise, the interior will look too thoughtful and not habitable, as if a frozen picture from a fashion magazine.

The use of too expensive and heavy fabrics is contraindicated.

Home interior trends are now not to luxury, but to simplicity and functionality. The same can be said about the colors - they should not be too complex and alyapistymi. Modern interiors strive for minimalism and the lack of pretentious tasteless details. Furniture and textiles should be practical, and forms and prints as simple and concise as possible. Remember, naturalness is now in fashion.

Popular species

Curtains are usually divided into three types depending on the mechanism of disclosure.For example, curtains can be sliding, with a lifting mechanism or stationary. Among the sliding curtains can be noted classic straight models and Japanese curtains.

Due to their open spaces and conciseness, they remain popular and you this season. At the same time, sliding curtains with lambrequins and grabs are considered anti-trend.

In addition to direct models, it is increasingly possible to meet cotton muslin curtains.which the people got the funny name "noodles". They are made of a variety of weighted silk threads that fall down to the floor and are easily rocked by the movement of air.

Among the models with a lifting mechanism, Roman roller blinds made of straight linen are gradually gaining popularity. But the curtains of complicated form is better to remove.

Fabrics

For living room textiles, it is better to use natural fabrics - this is both stylish and practical. The texture of fabrics such as linen and cotton is fairly simple., and therefore will not distract attention from the main interior. However, the design of such curtains should not be too colorful, otherwise it will simplify the interior too much.

Among natural materials for curtains, fabrics made from bamboo are particularly popular. Bamboo curtains are quite thick, durable and do not absorb dust, so they will last for a long time. In addition, they are easy to clean. Simply wipe them off with a damp cloth.

For rooms made in modern styles, you can use curtains made of heavy non-woven materials. They can be straight and go to the floor, creating the necessary array of fabric. Such curtains due to their density can look very stylish. However, they almost always eat up some of the space, so they won't work for small living rooms.

Heavy materials such as jacquard, brocade and velvet can be used in the design of a room only if the curtains sewn from them are straight.About additional details in the form of frills and tassels, it is better to forget for a while. Also, the curtain should not be collected on the sides. Only simple forms are acceptable.

Lovers of airy interiors this season should prefer flying fabrics and choose organza or chiffon tulle.

Such lightweight curtains can be used in the interior. and without combination with heavy curtains. Even alone, tulle can look good. Especially this option is suitable for small rooms in a classic style. Romantic flying fabrics will visually expand the space, while massive curtains, on the contrary, will reduce it.

Design options

Even a trend design cannot bypass a simple rule: the more active the wall color and pattern, the quieter the curtains should be. But with one-tone neutral walls, you can use neutral shades of color, and with an active print. All new design curtains for the living room have a common feature: they are simple in shape, texture and color.

Lighter fabrics can be combined with heavy dense fabrics, and can be used as an independent element of the interior. And the second option is preferable.

Design tips are usually based on the ratio of curtains and features of the room. For example, for large rooms should use curtains of dense material, which is able to give the interior texture. Such curtains can be attached to the curtain with massive rings. For living rooms in a modern style, it will look fresh and harmonious.

Large rooms fit heavy curtains with a wide vertical strip or with a large pattern. Massive prints are a bright spot and add the necessary volume to the room, which for spacious halls will be an indisputable advantage. Such curtains will help to visually fill the space. However, for small apartments, they are contraindicated, since, on the contrary, they do not require filling, but narrowing of the space.

A massive print will make a small room even smaller. This is especially true for apartments with low ceilings.

If the choice fell on the striped curtainsthen the owners of small apartments are better to focus on the curtains of light translucent fabrics. It is possible to use a thin vertical strip - it will stretch the room in length.Or you can take curtains with a wide horizontal stripe, which will expand the space in width, but due to the lightness and transparency of the fabric will not weigh down the window.

An indisputable trend among curtain designs is the combination of the usual straight curtains made of heavy fabric with modern rolled wallpaper made from a single piece of fabric. The combination of sliding and lifting curtains not only looks unusual, but is also a functionally convenient solution for a room located on the light side of the house. A special niche is occupied by curtains with metal threads interspersed into the fabric.

Metallic is now popular and is used almost everywhere, including in the interior. And the most trendy types of fastening curtains are hinges and magnetic mounts, which appeared quite recently, but have already been recognized as one of the most practical mounts for curtains.

But the most current trend of this year are the photo curtains. Yes, yes, this is not a typo. Photocurtains are created on the same principle as the wallpaper. This is the same digital print, but only on textiles. Photocurtains are usually sewn from a single straight piece of fabric. These are sliding curtains on which any drawing with 2D or 3D effect is applied. Often these curtains are made to order to best fit the tastes of their owner.

How to choose a style?

Any curtains are usually selected under the overall style of the room. They must be in harmony with furniture, walls, various decorative elements such as paintings, mirrors, figurines, lighting fixtures and doors. Also, curtains should be stylistically suited to the shape of the window and to the materials from which they are made. Mixing different styles in one interior, even the most experienced designer can easily make a mistake in the design of a room, not to mention a man in the street who does not have certain skills in building a design.

Rule number one - focus on the original style of the living room. And so what will it be - you choose.

  • If the room is made in minimalism, you should look at the monochromatic curtains of classic beige colors. Unnecessary details will seem inappropriate. Also, a print in a small pattern like various flowers, butterflies or the notorious pea will not work either. Such a picture will suit rooms in the style of Provence, Country or country style. For modern styles are more suitable plain straight curtains without frills, flounces and fringe. Usually such details look harmonious in Baroque and Rococo styles, which, unfortunately, lose their relevance. Complex decor fades into the background.
  • Geometric and graphic drawings of curtains suitable for living in the style of Pop Art, which is all bright. Perhaps the use of a large print with the image of a film star. Due to its drawing and color, Pop Art drawings always attract the eye and create dynamics in the interior.

However, this style is not suitable for lovers of quiet, cozy interiors, because you can quickly get tired of it.

Try to pay attention to the curtains that will overlap with other elements of the room. For example, when choosing active curtains, make sure that they match the shade or print to the sofa or cushions that decorate it. However, it cannot be that there are too many identical active elements, otherwise the room will look overloaded.

  • For varieties of country style is to choose curtains, the pattern of which repeats the print of the rest of the textile room. As a rule, preference is given to intricate plant patterns of small size. Scandinavian style requires lightweight straight curtains. Models of curtains, as a rule, simple and monochromatic, like the rest of the interior.

But for ethnic and African styles, bright colors with a warm undertone and animal print will come to the fore. Asymmetrical clothed models and patterns of curtains suitable for living rooms in the style of Modern or High-Tech

  • Classics require heavier fabrics and normal proportions. It is desirable to use clear lines and shapes. Do not be afraid of a certain rigor in the interior - it is now popular. But it is better to forget about excessively curvaceous curtains. They will not decorate a large room, but for a small one they will seem too bulky.

How to choose the right color?

The color design of the curtains also depends on the overall interior. On its color features and should be guided in the first place. However, we should not forget about trends, among which there is a universal craving for naturalness. Natural shades are most preferable, so too bright, neon and acid colors are out of the game this season, as well as too whitened chalk pastel colors.

Soft sand and terracotta tones fit into the brown-beige room, especially if the general style of the room is to the classics.

Light tones like ivory, light beige, white and milky also fit well into the interior. However, one should beware of a whiteness of white hue, which cannot exist in the interior on its own, without being in contrast with the dark shade. Pure white is only suitable for a black and white room, otherwise it will be unprofitable to stand out against the background of furniture in neutral colors.

But do not think that the brightness of this season is not welcome. On the contrary, fashion does not prohibit bright color details. The main thing is that the color used is deep, noble and slightly muffled. Screaming shades should not be. Emerald, chocolate, mustard, blue and orange colors are in fashion. The interior may well appear curtains with red trim.

Such elements will dilute the design of the room and give it a zest. All shades of green are welcome, ranging from muted pastels and ending with marsh.

Olive shades have a special charm. They always look expensive. Natural colors such as dried leaves or dried grass are gaining in popularity. Designers are increasingly inspired by nature.In the design of the curtains appear yellow colors, reminiscent of the shining of the fading autumn sun or the yellowness of fallen leaves.

If life without bright colors seems faded to you, think about the color of the sea wave. In recent years, he has passed a little momentum, but now he is gaining popularity again. The sea wave and turquoise are considered to be rather cold active colors, and therefore will suit a more neutral interior, made mainly in cold colors.

Similar colors are always used in the interior as a color spot, so turquoise curtains should be the only big bright accent in the room. Otherwise, there is a chance to overload the interior and, instead of adding a fresh note, to introduce excessive brightness and alyapistosti.

Modern interiors can include delicate subtle shades of purple. Lilac, pearl and pale lilac colors will make any living room soft and comfortable. Pistachio and sweet pink and peach shades will give the hall more airiness. In a bright and soft atmosphere it will be very nice to receive guests and arrange family tea.

Curtains with gold and silver splashes will save the daily routine. However, so that the metallic does not look cheap, it is better not to use it in other interior items. The golden rule is that it is better to fail than to overdo it! Golden and silver accents on the curtains will be especially noticeable in combination with blue wallpaper. It is in this color pair that both shades open up their depth, and the contemplation of a light shine will certainly lift the mood of the landlord, bringing a bit of a holiday into his life.

Modern trends do not prohibit the combination of different colors, especially if they are concentrated within the same color range.

Brown and nut, blue and blue, coral and orange will create the perfect balance and dilute the overall look of the room. And, of course, the possible colors are not limited to these combinations. The blue-green shades of curtains and tulle also hit the trends of this season. However, if you stopped on these colors, make sure that they belong to the cold range. Indigo color looks especially attractive in a modern interior.

In the photo wallpapers, designers advise to use watercolor prints, thanks to which even a dense fabric can give the whole interior airiness. And all because of the "fluidity" and wateriness watercolor technique.

Finally, do not forget about all shades of gray. Various smoky, asphalt, graphite and ink tones are the best fit living room, which are made in modern styles. The depth of gray shades is amazing, they are good even on a single-color canvas.

Interesting examples in the interior

The most stylish interiors of this season are similar in one thing: they are all simple and concise. Pay attention to simple sliding curtains with fastening on the hinges. Colors are discreet and matched very well. The shades are in harmony with the interior and repeat the colors of the cushions and the carpet area.

Good contrast is created by straight curtains of deep blue color.

Curtain fabric echoes the color of the furniture and is a rather dark active spot, but does not over-draw all attention to itself. It is possible to reverse the contrast between the walls and the curtain. Flying translucent fabrics do not prevent the light from entering the room, creating a halo of airiness and lightness.

Sliding Japanese curtains look very extraordinary and modernmade of solid canvas. The gamma of the interior is as simple and quiet as possible, and there are almost no details of the decor, but it looks solid and complete.

A similar effect is created by the Roman blinds with a lifting mechanism.

Despite the stripes and the external diversity, the colors used are concentrated within the same range of beige-brown warm tones. But even plain blinds can look expensive.
