Tulle in the bedroom

For comfort and decoration of the bedroom, many hostesses choose tulle. It is a modern and externally attractive fabric that diffuses the light well and gives the room a sophisticated look.

Tulle is a transparent and light fabric, having patterns or a grid in the structure. It is universal and suitable for any interior, makes it light and softens cumbersome details. In a small room, tulle will add free space, hide all problem areas of the window opening, create unusual transitions of light and shadow.

Tulle fabric is not only used to create curtains and curtains. For example, tulle as a trim for underwear and corsets is common, it is used in translucent and transparent dresses, wedding veils and capes. Ordinary monochrome fabrics do not stand comparison with patterned ones, which hardly let in sunlight.

Therefore, tulle perfectly fit into the room where you need a feeling of lightness, purity and innocence. A wide choice of colors, sizes and placement options in combination with simplicity and beautiful appearance gives almost unlimited possibilities for interior transformation.

Alas, like any fabric, tulle does an excellent job with dust collection. If the fabric hangs for a long time on the sunny side of the house, then it gradually changes shape and color, acquiring an unpleasant yellowish tint. To avoid this completely will not work, but you can prevent such a disaster in time and thereby prolong the life of the fabric. The easiest way to avoid fading is through timely and proper washing.

Sometimes it is difficult to choose the right tulle material from a huge variety of options. Each of them has its pros and cons, better or worse suited for certain curtains and window openings:

• Organza - light, transparent and very durable fabric. The price depends on the raw materials from which it was made: viscose, polyester or natural silk. You can decorate it in different ways, using embroidery, rhinestones, decor with appliqués or painting on fabric.

• Veil it differs from organza in softness, since it is a cotton fabric of plain weaving.Thin threads and tight weave resemble gauze, only of higher quality.

• Viscose - synthetic and short-lived fabric, but no less popular. It is often combined with polyester and polyester to improve wear resistance and durability.

• Fatin - mesh material that resembles tulle in its qualities (lightness and pomp), but differs much more rigidity and bright texture. Dense interlacing of threads and a grid, similar to a honeycomb, make tulle a specific fabric that will decorate the bride's attire, but will be unnecessary in a soft and elegant interior. From it is better to make appliques, artificial flowers and trim for tulle.

First of all, choosing tulle in the bedroom, it is important to pay attention to the shape and size of the window opening. The way tulle will be used also dictates the choice of the appropriate material, be it mesh, organza or viscose.

Careful attention to the choice will have to, if the goal is to make tulle a key element of the interior or functional detail, without which the room will not produce the desired effect. Color plays a role when the question is: how dark or bright should the room be. Light translucent fabrics perfectly cope with this task.

Those who often wash curtains, tulle and curtains, should pay attention to the convenience of caring for them. The least problematic models in this respect are viscose curtains. They fully meet these requirements, as they calmly tolerate washing and retain a beautiful appearance. Also unpretentious and strong enough polyester. In the store, you can take samples of materials to check how the fabric fits into a particular interior.

To make the tulle last as long as possible and not lose its attractive appearance after several washes, it is very important to take care of him properly:

• First need dust the tulle from dust it is more practical to do it on the street, so as not to send dirt to fly all over the apartment or house.
• In water dissolve a tablespoon of soda and leave for a few hours. This is a working recipe for beautiful and pleasing to the eye curtains. It is also advisable to add a detergent for washing delicate fabrics.
• Tulle in no case can not be twisted! It is enough to slightly press and wait until the water runs out.
• Rinse need plenty of warm water.
• Some types of tulle curtains look much better if they are slightly starched after washing. To add shine, add a spoonful of vinegar to the water.
• Ironing tulle also Not recommended.

The size of the curtains is of great importance when buying. First of all, you need to measure the windows and the cornice. For a beautiful design of tulle folds you need to take as much fabric as will fit in the conventional two cornices. The height of the fabric itself is different: to the window sill, do not reach three centimeters to the floor or hang on the floor.

Some tips:

• On the sides there should be a supply of fabric about five centimeters.
• If the width of the fabric does not suit, you can buy two identical webs and sew them together. In the drape seam no one will see.
• When a room has two windows at a short distance, the designers recommend hanging one piece of cloth. It will visually enlarge the opening itself and create a single composition. Do not do this if the distance between the windows is too large. Then it is better to use the same type of fabric for each opening.
• Curtains measure from the top of the eaves to places where the fabric will touch floor.
• The measurement process should begin with eaves fastening. After all, only after the fabric is hung will it be possible to look at it entirely and determine the optimal length.
• Tthe picture should be wider than indicated in the calculations. This will ensure a uniform pattern throughout the canvas.

Color is crucial for the bedroom. In this room, people spend at least eight hours every day, so the selection of a color palette can be a decisive factor. Many know or read that The “right” color can make a room bigger and higher, add light (in addition to lamps and chandeliers) and create a favorable atmosphere throughout the apartment:

• White color it increases the space, but too much of it inevitably evokes associations with a sterile and uncomfortable hospital, which will not allow to relax and calm the nerves. His aggressiveness is softened by splashes of beige, pastel pink flowers.

• Green - the most soothing and harmonious. Most often it is used for decoration of living rooms, but soft shades are permissible both in dining rooms and in bedrooms.Green light transparent tulle looks rich against the backdrop of heavy Roman curtains with a golden floral print.

• Blue. It is not as bright as blue, so it calms and restores strength. However, its “coldness” can play a cruel joke on the interior and make it boring and dull. To prevent this from happening, you will have to add warm details such as soft pillows, napkins, blankets or paintings, the frames of which have a rich brown color. So the room will immediately become cozier and more pleasant. Plus, this color is considered the most fashionable.

• From blue it blows cold, it feels more like an inaccessible and prickly than attractive one. It should not be combined with white and other cold colors, which relax and completely “freeze” the room. Beige and all shades of yellow effectively get rid of excess coolness.

• Red - psychologically the most assertive and exciting after white. In concentrated form, it is not used to avoid the effect of a red rag for a bull. With its excessive brightness, it suppresses the mind and activates the senses, on a subconscious level, causing attacks of uncontrollable activity when you do not expect it at all - for example, before going to bed.

The fundamental principles that clearly define once and for all the color of fabrics that are required to hang on the eaves have not yet been invented. No one dares to say that this piece of furniture should definitely be bought to match the bedspread or cushion for your favorite couch. Sometimes they do not fit to any object in the room or in sharp contrast with other things unusual texture, style or edging. Undoubtedly, for such experiments, courage and design flair are needed, but even if there are few of them, color is, first of all, a consequence of the owner's taste, and not the result of strict adherence to unwritten rules.

However, for those who find it difficult to immediately determine their desires, there are common Tips to help make the room unique and attractive at the same time:

• To pay for the beautiful curtains will have much less than for the sofawhich is usually bought for many years and does not change due to a sharp change in the style of the whole room. Therefore, for those who know the value of money, easier to pick up the tulle in the color of the bed or sofa. Focus on the wallpaper, too, should not be - over time, they change, but the tulle hangs on the eaves for decades and can be completely lost due to changes in the interior

• The most simple and elegant option - combine curtains and tulle in style with the largest and most eye-catching item in the interior. For this purpose, a sofa, carpet or even a bedside table with an interesting curved lamp on it. No need to suffer, using only perfectly matching colors. Enough to find a nice looking combination.

• Calm colors (linen, rose lavender, peach) are unlikely to spoil the room, because they are always relevant and suitable as a background for almost any interior. Tulle serves as an excellent background for design experiments with the rest of the furniture and does not interrupt them with screaming patterns and applications.

• It also happens that the interior of the room did not meet the expectations laid down in it or it came out too contrasting with the rest of the house or apartment. Then you can switch your attention from the unsuccessful couch or too motley wallpaper to the window, which will be framed by bright curtains.It is better to give preference not to monochrome canvases, but with prints (this can be any color images, for example, in butterflies), with stripes or other geometric patterns, a colorful border. To combine individual elements, details are simply added: bedspreads, lamps, decorative bows.

• Oppositely, it is necessary to act in the event that the interior is monochrome: then the tulle is not chosen to the walls, otherwise they will simply merge with it. The color may not be completely the same, but close in color. It is also permissible to take variants of different colors in order to create a contrast and highlight visually the window along with the window sill.

No matter how stubborn the fashion is and no matter what advice the professionals do not give, you should not follow them blindly, especially it is not recommended to buy all the new items. Starting from the color you like, you need to choose the desired shade that will suit the specific design solution:

• “Zoom” window and create the effect of increasing space special color combination of purple-red and yellow. You can also use a double color combination.

• Remove the color space from the cold spectrum. If you hang blue, light green and pearl tulle, the bedroom will be at least twice as large. But you shouldn't overdo it either, you need a measure of everything.

Based on all the above, we can conclude that light colors expand the space, while dark colors reduce it. Accordingly, in small rooms, fabrics of light colors will look more beautiful, and for large and spacious rooms, where there is too much “air”, you need to select any other shades depending on functionality and preferences.

On the tulle there must be a drawing, but it should not be placed wherever the owner wanted it. An exception may be materials originally developed in conjunction with each other. In this case, the same color range is acceptable.

In no case can not combine natural fabric and synthetics, which imitates it.The combination of these fabrics looks ridiculous and ugly, because, for example, natural linen and synthetic tulle transmit light differently and have different weights.

It is not necessary to combine with natural fabric and polyester because of its rigidity. However, he is surprisingly good in company with other artificial fabrics. Only viscose is knocked out of the rule, because in fact it is not synthetic. According to the properties, it kind of resembles silk, because they are often used in combination.

Secondly, it is preferable to use fabrics of similar composition in one model or set.

The most reliable and practical way to attach tulle to the eaves is to use eyelets. They are rings made of either steel or plastic. They are inserted into the upper part of the curtain and thread through them the eaves. With this method of decorating the window, you can use almost any type of fabric, colors, ornaments and colors.

With the help of eyelets, the fabrics move freely along the window and do not lose their shape or beautiful drapery. On the contrary, the rings visually increase the height due to perfectly flat vertical folds on the fabric.As in clothing, vertical lines perfectly straighten any shortcomings and excess volumes.

In the corner rooms, it is often possible to see several windows at once, which differ in size and shape. They are logical to use different methods and approaches to decorating. For harmony, tulle is made from the same fabric, but folded or decorated individually, giving each window its own mood and “character”, this is how a combined design is obtained.

Short tulle is easy to use and maintain. It allows the light to enter the room, does not interfere with air circulation and is safe, because small children and animals will not reach it. There are many types:

• "Cafe", which are called so because of their simplicity and unpretentiousness. They are ideal for the kitchen, where they do not take up much space and there is an arch, and for the children's room, since they are inaccessible to small children. The home look is created thanks to the decorative folds and the naive “rustic” design that works, even if they are in a luxury hotel or country house. They are easy to wash and remove as the cornice hangs in the center of the window.

• Austrian combine strict Roman style and pretentious French pomp. Folds are formed only after lifting. A great option for those who prefer the immortal classics.

• An original and interesting way to decorate the bedroom bamboo options. They do not attract dust and microbes to themselves, are safe for allergy sufferers, are easy to clean and do not require frequent maintenance.
