Curtains in the modern interior

1. Volumetric cornice
   Often in houses you can find massive cornices with stucco, openwork tips and other elements of decor. At the same time, curtains are the most common or it simply does not fit into the general concept of the interior. The perfect cornice is the one you can’t see. It is better to hide behind curtains and tulles than to weight the whole view of the wall. The cornice should also complement the interior. Designers advise choosing it in combination with a chandelier. The color and material of the cornice should echo the frame of the lamp. Also, it is better to choose tips that repeat petals, pattern or balls on the chandelier or fit other elements of decor in the room.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. King's curtains
   Tsar’s multi-layered curtains with all sorts of ruffles and frills will laugh ridiculously in rather modest interiors or with furniture from the 90s, which is found in most of the population. They also make small rooms visually smaller. Such design of windows is appropriate in large spaces of a private house. In a typical apartment, this decision looks too pretentious. When you meet such beauty in Khrushchev, there is a feeling that the repair began with curtains, and there was not enough money for more money. Minimalism is the average person’s best friend. No matter how much money a person has invested in repairs or how old his furniture is, the main thing is a sense of proportion and taste.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Motley curtains
   If you look at programs to create an interior, then designers often use bright accents. But it is important to remember that the interior is perceived holistically and the window does not come to the fore. If you hang bright salad curtains with flowers in a room with blue walls, it will look strange. The color of curtains, complemented by light textiles with strict ornamentation, is ideal.
   
   
   
   
4. Metallic, gold, overflows
   Gold in the interior may be appropriate. You can use golden elements, but they should not be much. In textiles, gold is well replaced by ochre shades. The interior becomes lighter and more concise. The same can be said about chameleon fabrics and other shiny curtains - they are very difficult to fit harmoniously into the interior even for an experienced designer, because with artificial consecration they look very unrealistic.
   
   
   
   
5. Too much decor.
   A lot is not good. Sometimes people want to decorate their windows so much that they lose their sense of proportion. It’s like a relationship – an abundance of attention can be perceived as obsession. If there is a picture on the curtains and you complement it with garters with brushes, then you should not cling to artificial butterflies, all kinds of flowers or supplement them with a tulle with a thick pattern. There is a simple rule - the picture on the tulle should echo the curtains. Also, curtains should not repeat the print of wallpaper: if the wallpaper is soft pink with embossed under petals, then the curtains should not be the same. Otherwise, they'll just get lost.
