The canvas is not fixed, but freely wound on the ledge. The edge of the lambrequin (when it is wound) either hangs freely or is picked up by the drawstring.

Ideas and options in the interior

A lot depends on the style in which the room is decorated. It determines the type of fabric of one-sided curtains, style, number of layers, etc.

For classic and baroque, curtains made of luxurious fabrics with voluminous draperies should be preferred. Let's face it, kitchens are far from the most suitable option. Firstly, due to the specifics of the room. Secondly, such curtains will visually eat up the space in the already small kitchen. Exactly these in most apartments in our country and in the post-Soviet space.

For minimalism and hi-tech, curtains made of simple and light fabrics of a single color are suitable. They blend very well with roller blinds, stacks and organza.

For country and Provence, you should buy curtains from chintz, linen, silk or other natural fabric. The shade of the canvas should be warm. A pattern is acceptable, but not bright. The lambrequin will look good on one side.

For a rustic style, a natural floral fabric is often chosen.

If the window in the kitchen is adjacent to the door to the loggia or balcony, you can purchase asymmetrical curtains on one side, one of which is longer and the other is shorter. Stylish, and so far rarely seen.

Short curtains can be made of light fabric, and for long curtains use dense material

If the window is small, it can be decorated with one-sided curtains of the London type. In many ways, they resemble classic London curtains, but one of the sides is beveled.

Curtain color

Try to choose a shade so that the curtains blend harmoniously into the interior of the kitchen. They should not get out of the situation, much less irritate the eyes. You can navigate to your taste, information from various magazines and sites, or invite an experienced designer.

It is very important that the color of the curtains does not reduce the already small area of ​​the kitchen. A small ornament on the curtains will look like spots, dirt, untidy variegation. Plain curtains with a large pattern on the canvas are preferable.

Perfect for curtains in the kitchen with a floral pattern. A striped and cage print may and may look simpler, but it will also look good.

Pure white is not the best option. Even the slightest pollution is immediately noticeable. Tortured by washing. Use more muted tones: beige, milk, pale pink, baked milk. Their combination will also look very beautiful.

When choosing fabric for a kitchen curtain, preference should be given to materials that are easy to wash and do not fade.

If you do not want the window to attract attention, you should purchase curtains to match the walls and furniture. In this case, flashy patterns, creases and draperies should be avoided.

Curtains should be in harmony with any objects in the interior of the kitchen

To avoid the visual merging of curtains with walls, the canvas should be different from them in several color tones.

Cold colors are hardly suitable for a kitchen room. Still, the kitchen, this is the room where they are fried and boiled. Everything is connected with heat and fire. Curtains should not be an exception.
