White curtains differ in the material of manufacture and the type of cut. The raw materials for the production of products are natural and synthetic fibers. Often, in order to increase practicality and durability, artificial threads are woven into natural threads. Such material wrinkles less, it is resistant to fading and frequent washing.
Most often used in the production of textiles cotton, linen, organza, silk, satin and satin. In addition to them, white curtains sew from blackout and dimout, taffeta, velor, flock, jacquard and velvet. Less commonly used microfiber... The density of products varies from transparent to dense double-sided, absorbing light.
The type of fabric used determines the purpose of the products. For example, curtains may not be as practical as a decorative function (tulle, veil, muslin). Other options, on the contrary, hide the room from prying eyes from the street (blackout night curtains).
By type of cut, products can be classic curtains, Austrian, French, Roman models... In addition to them, products are manufactured today with roller lifting mechanism, pleated options, reminiscent of blinds.
In addition to rolled varieties, Japanese curtains are on sale, which are mobile-type textile panels. Depending on the type of cut, the models have a different principle of opening (closing) the panels.
For example, in addition to the traditional swing type, they can be closed down, up, in the middle of the window.
Modifications vary in size. Classic varieties cover not only the window opening. They often extend over the entire wall. Roller counterparts cover only window glass. Moreover, depending on the model, they can close 2 doors at once or each of them separately.
Often, the type of curtains determines their purpose. For example, tulle is used not only for windows and walls, they are often zoned for a sleeping place. Using Japanese curtains, they delimit the space into separate functional zones, so they are used not for windows, but as screens.

How to match with furniture and bedspread?
Due to their versatility, white curtains are perfectly combined with other shades of the color palette. Therefore, it is not difficult to pick them up for furniture elements and existing textiles. It is important that the main part of the interior is done in a different color.
- The easiest way to combine these curtains with furniture in neutral colors (gray, graphite, white). The bedroom will not look boring if you complement the interior with accessories of woody shades or live greenery. Curtains can be gold, silver, beige, gray, blue, light or dark.
- Much depends on the shade of white. For example, warm milky looks good with furniture of light and dark wood tones. These curtains are suitable for wall coverings in beige, pistachio, gray, mint color. Snow white goes well with red, blue, green, orange contrast. However, the harsh color companions (red-white, blue-white) should be metered.
- When choosing an option with a pattern, special attention is paid to its visibility and type of cut. Variants with a large pattern visually overload the space of a small room. For such rooms, it is more expedient to choose monochromatic models of a simple (straight) cut.
- Much depends on the style of the interior.... For example, in a modern bedroom (hi-tech, minimalism), curtains should be simple (on hinges, rings), without frills, flounces, scallops. The accent can be made on the uniqueness of the texture (metallic or mother-of-pearl shine of the fabric). For a Provencal bedroom, it is better to choose a model with a small print and, for example, an insert with hemstitching. In this case, the elements of the pattern may overlap with the pattern of the bedspread or bed pillows. White curtains for the bedroom in the classic style are distinguished by the complexity of the cut. These can be multi-layer options with a lambrequin, Austrian or French curtains. The design of the curtains can be selected in a single design with the decor of the existing textiles.For example, flounces, frills, piping, puffs can be similar elements.
- To make the combination perfect, you can buy or order a set of bed linen, bedspreads and curtains in a single design... They are made from one material, which will give integrity to the textile solution of the interior.
- If the bedding or bedspread in the bedroom has a contrasting color, you can use the combination technique. To do this, a white veil is combined with curtains in the color of the bedspread. Also, curtains can be multi-layered. However, for a harmonious combination, they must be monochromatic. For example, milky-white curtains of a translucent type with a matte texture are perfect for a knitted blanket, bedspread of light beige or sandy color. Their cut should be simple, the length should be standard.
- Direct models without unnecessary decor are bought in the bedroom with panoramic glazing... In a room combined with a nursery, you can buy models with a lambrequin or colored frills. The color of the frills should be in the same color scheme as the finishing of the crib textiles.
- Options for arranging children's bedrooms can be decorated with different patterns. The main rule of a successful combination is to match the color and decor of the furnishing elements. For example, the shade of a picture on a white background can match the color of the front of the wall shelves or cabinets.
