Green curtains

Curtains can be an ornament to any room. They create mood, combine different elements of style into a single whole. To create a harmonious interior that promotes relaxation and recuperation, choose green curtains. Psychologists say that this color gives peace and tranquility through association with nature.

A characteristic advantage of green curtains is the availability of a wide selection of shades. Due to this, it is possible to choose a product for any style and type of room. It is possible to create a fresh atmosphere that sets up a life-affirming mood. However, each tone has a certain specificity.

Green in the color spectrum is between yellow and blue. Therefore, it can refer to a warm or cold range.

Light green shade visually enhances the room. Extravagant lime color, on the contrary, is used in large rooms. Green color, close to the bright yellow color in the palette leads to action. The blue-green tone of the curtains, on the contrary, calms the psyche. And olive color curtains promote concentration.

However, its excess in the interior causes melancholy and despondency. To avoid this drawback, you can limit its use. For example, hang only green curtains and a chandelier.

In a room with low ceilings, it is better to hang plain green curtains without patterns. You should also do without frills and draperies. Ideally, use blinds or roman blinds.

If the room is on the sunny side, dark green drapes are used to protect against excessive light. Usually they are made of thick, opaque fabrics, such as Blackout. Another option - vertical blinds mint shade.In dark rooms it is practical to use light green light fabrics: chiffon, organza, muslin.

The selection of green curtains depends not only on the illumination of the rooms. An important feature is the material from which the product is made. The denser the canvas, the richer the green shades appear on it. And light fabrics create an elegant, delicate atmosphere in the interior.

Curtains and tulle are made from natural and synthetic fibers. Natural fabrics are hypoallergenic and of high quality, but they crumple and fade in the sun. Non-natural fabrics are durable, cheap and easy to maintain. To give strength and reduce the cost of natural threads sometimes add synthetic fibers. For example, to create velvet and satin fabrics.

Portieres are curtains made from durable, dense fabric. They are different in their material of manufacture:

• linen - the most famous and popular natural material. Modern technologies allow dyeing fabrics green without losing its positive qualities. Such curtains are easy to wash, do not electrify, gently diffuse light. However, they are difficult to iron and they can "sit down" when washing;

• velvet - dense fabric with short nap. The velvet curtains are heavy, hard to wash and they are not suitable for small rooms. But with their help, the bedroom turns into a luxurious bedchamber. And thanks to its properties, the canvas does not fade, perfectly protects from light and keeps the heat in the room;

• silk - natural or artificial shiny material. It has the advantages and disadvantages of linen fabrics, but with proper care they will last for many years;

• jacquard - dense textured canvas, different in design and color. Green jacquard patterned curtains not only look noble, but are also durable and durable;

• Blackout - unique modern fabric from polyester fiber. It has many advantages, the main of which is full opacity. Among the shortcomings, there is only susceptibility to hooks.

Tulle - soft, light, translucent curtains. Types of composition:

• organza - shiny or matte transparent fabric. Expensive and unpleasant to the touch, but durable and beautiful in appearance. Such a light green fabric reflects light, protecting you from prying eyes;
• veil - soft and docile material that gently disperses the sun's rays. These curtains easily frame the window and create a romantic atmosphere;
• Kisia - unusual curtain consisting of a set of interlaced threads. Allows air to pass freely into the room, and due to the dark green color dims the light.

When choosing curtains, it is important to determine the required size of the canvas. Measurements begin with measuring the length of the eaves, the distance from the eaves to the floor or to the top of the sill. It all depends on the type of curtains selected. All measurements must be recorded to avoid loss.

The length of the curtains depends on factors such as the height of the wall, the type of attachment to the eaves and the allowances. Depending on the length of the curtains divide the inheriting types: short, long and elongated:

• Short curtains have a length from the eaves to the window sill or even less. These are Austrian, "Cafe", Roman, roller blinds, blinds and pelmets.
• Long curtains - products from the length of the eaves to the floor minus a few centimeters. These are standard classic, crossed, Italian, rope curtains and Japanese canvases.
• Elongated differ from long only in size: they are several centimeters longer and touch the floor.

The next important factor is the attachment to the eaves. They come in the form of loops, hooks and rings. In any case, one general recommendation should be observed: the length of the blade is reduced depending on the length of the attachment. If you do not take this into account, the fabric will be too long, it will have to be shortened.

Depending on where exactly it is planned to hang these or those green curtains, their style, shade, drapery options are chosen:

• Kitchen. Various green curtains of pastel shades will calm the atmosphere and save from excessive overeating. But green with a predominance of yellow hue, on the contrary, will add energy and whet the appetite. Usually compact short curtains are hung in the kitchen due to the small size of the room. For example, green Roman blinds with a pattern will be a good option.

• When going to the store it is easy to get confused and buy a completely inappropriate version of green curtains. To avoid this think in advance about the shape and color of the product. If your interior is already present with bright color accents, then choose a monochromatic dull green of warm colors.
