Floor-length tulle

If you take a set of two window tulle curtains, they will simultaneously decorate the room with their simplicity and transparency, and allow sunlight to freely illuminate the kitchen room, fulfilling its functionality. Visually increase the room and the feeling of space. The same applies to one continuous tulle web over the entire window. Usually, for a tulle to look magnificent, its width should be three times the width of the window itself.

Kitchen curtains to window sill

If you need a beautiful frame around the window of the kitchen, bedroom or bathroom, you may need a set of tulle curtains. Tapering from the middle of the window to the bottom corner, the curtains focus on the window and allow you to look out.

If necessary, transparent short curtains can be complemented with pleated curtains.

Little cafe-style curtains

We will show fantastic ideas and design of curtains in cafe style, but before that, let's explain what are curtains in cafe style. This is usually a curtain covering the bottom half of the window. They can be used in any room of the house - the living room, bathroom, children's bedroom, but most often in the kitchens. This type of curtain appeared in the 19th century, when it was used in a cafe to add style to large windows. Now this design also implies the following option: a set of short tulle curtains (one solid top and two lower).

Cafe-style curtains are a traditional country-style kitchen window decoration, Provence or Shabby Chic

The lower curtain is usually kept closed, or tied to the sides of the windows. When the curtains have a top, known as a header or shuttlecock, they are called tiered curtains. The cafe-style curtain partially closes the window, and this provides a good flow of natural light into the house. This raises the issue of privacy. The fact that the curtains do not cover the entire area of ​​the glass means that they will not provide complete confidentiality, and some people consider this a drawback. This, of course, is a personal opinion, and whether you choose curtains of this type depends entirely on you and your taste. Cafe-style curtain ideas - add a charming view to the window in your fabulous kitchen.

Original tulle curtain

Add some imagination to your formal kitchen with airy tulle curtains to the middle of the window, picked up in the form of flashlights, which will make them original. The more fabric will be collected in flashlights, the more magnificent and elegant they will look.

Blinds from tulle

Such blinds can be done with your own hands. You need the tulle of the desired length and width, double-sided tape and braid. The tape is sewn on all 4 sides of the fabric. Double-sided tape is glued to the window frame and sewn on tape.

The advantages of this design of the kitchen window is that you yourself create your own original design

What color to choose curtains

The theme of fitting curtains to your decor may seem like a trivial decision, but given the enormous costs of window treatments, it causes stress for many homeowners. This explains why one of the most popular home decoration themes is the choice of color.

The color of the kitchen curtains should match the chosen style.

There are three solutions:

1. Match the color of the curtains with the color of the walls. Choose a shade similar to the color of the walls. This option is the least intrusive, so it works well when you absolutely love the color of the walls of the kitchen, when the room has a lot of other competing visual elements, or if you just want a calm, monochrome look. This option is often underestimated, because it seems too trivial, but if everything is done correctly, it is an ideal, elegant solution. The disadvantage of this approach is that if you decide to repaint the walls later, you will have to replace the curtains.
2. Neutral solution. Choose a print or a single color in a neutral palette that is versatile enough to work with different wall colors. This is the most popular approach that explains why beige curtains are so common.
3. Strong contrast. Last, most daring approach is to use a bright pattern or color to contrast with the walls. Works well in small spaces where you only need one or two curtains to act as a central subject. You can use this approach for a picture or color that you really love and can comfortably live with it every day.

How to choose fabric for curtains

Fabrics for curtains can be divided into two main types: transparent and dense. Depending on the preference of the owner of the apartment, size, lighting of the kitchen, ceiling height, desired lengths, one of the following fabric options is selected.

Sheer curtains are used more for aesthetics than for functionality. Commonly used as an inner layer.They combine with a heavier curtain in front or behind.

1. Veil is a soft, light, transparent fabric. Usually 100% cotton, although it may be polyester. A very thin fabric that, while remaining transparent, gives some privacy.
   

   A light veil with a lilac shade will create a feeling of summer and a lavender field

2. Lace. The best fabric for curtains in the kitchen. It also has transparency sufficient to see through the lace outward, but protect it from direct sunlight or the eyes of passers-by.
   

   Lace curtains will add coziness and softness to the interior of the room

3. Nylon fabric. Nylon mesh is an inexpensive option like a curtain. Has a knitted design. Not as good as a veil.
   

   The nylon fabric is smooth, soft to the touch and durable.

4. The printed cotton fabric has small loops throughout the fabric, creating a kind of open-weave fabric.

Advantages of thicker cotton - keeps its shape better, serves as more reliable protection when sunny days, is an additional soundproofing, heatproofing protection. Kitchen curtains are often rusticized using a small flower or cage. Manufacturers of cotton fabrics provide a wide selection of colors in the style of "country".

The problem with linen is that it wrinkles quickly, and some products may puff, look rough. But with each wash they become softer and look better. Pure linen or mixed with fibers of other fabrics, is a leader in durability and functionality. Curtains made of such fabrics are less prone to fading, are well washed, do not wrinkle, they are easy to sew with your own hands.
   

   A linen curtain is the most suitable solution for true connoisseurs of natural materials.
