Curtains and style
What is the basis, the main element of the room? A large living room, framed by tall, bright windows, can safely take them as a basis, making up the interior. In this case, the curtains should be chosen, relying only on your taste and desire, but the main style of the hall will already come from the choice made.
If the direction of the style in which the interior of the room is prepared has already been selected( which happens much more often), the material should be selected in accordance with the basic requirements of this direction:
- classic, Empire, Baroque, Rococo, Renaissance require the use of expensive natural fabrics: silk,brocade, velvet, etc.;
- eco, country, loft allows the use of only underlined-natural textiles - cotton, linen, wool - preferably with a coarse coarse weaving;
- modern minimalism, high-tech, constructivism gives preference to simple monophonic fabrics;
- antique style and gothic are acceptable lightweight fabrics and night heavy solid curtains;
- Oriental, Japanese styles as curtains offer fabric, paper, bamboo roller blinds;
- avant-garde, techno and related styles allow the complete absence of textiles on windows.
Regarding the form, it also relies on the chosen design direction. Styles that require a lot of decor( all kinds of classics, etc.) accept curtains with an intricate shape, folded flounces, with an elegant frame under the ceiling, with fringe and ties with tassels or pins. The simple lines of the decor are underlined, requiring curtains bordering on primitivism with simplicity. The answer to the question "How to choose curtains that correspond to a certain style?" Lies in the canons of the style itself.

It is not necessary to follow only one advice, you can combine them. For example, choose curtains in the tone of the walls or neutral shade, with a pattern or decor elements under the color of the main piece of furniture. You can dream up by adding harmony to the whole image of the hall.
Bright spot
Juicy color of curtains can become the main accent of a strict hall. It is important that the curtains in this case are not unique in this color - be sure to place in the room at least a few pieces of decor or furniture in the same color.
Curtains for small and large windows
Difficulties in selecting curtains for a large spectacular window, as a rule, does not happen. But small windows I would like to make visually larger, and this can help textile framing.
In particular, you should abandon the shutter, but the blinds are unacceptable and look tasteless on windows of any size. For a small opening only textile curtains are allowed( photo) for the hall.
In this case, you can pull the window in height by placing on its sides simple even curtains, the folds of which create the illusion of "pulling".Curtains are located outside the window, covering only the frame and the wall, leaving the intrigue: is the window under them or not?
More complex curtains with flounces and garters can play the role of distracting maneuver. Attention is drawn to them, and not to the dimensions of the window, if they are correctly placed.
If the style allows the absence of curtains on the windows in the living room, then they can be completely abandoned.
