How to choose curtains for a bright bedroom?

It is difficult to imagine a bedroom without curtains, since this is how it looks sloppy and uninhabited. The ability to choose the right model for the existing design allows you to create the desired comfort and coziness inside the room.

There are several of the most popular types of curtains used in the bedroom. The most popular combination is a combination of a weightless, almost invisible curtain and massive curtains.

• Linen. These models are preferred by those who love practicality and environmental friendliness. Natural materials are always in trend, and manufacturers also offer a huge variety of colors. Linen curtains are ideal for interiors with lots of wood and stone.

• With lambrequin. If the bedroom is decorated in styles such as baroque or classic, then a lambrequin would be a great idea. With such curtains, it is always appropriate to use fringe or braid. You can look on the Internet for examples of how to beautifully collect curtains in a bun or tie them above the floor.

• With eyelet. If you want sophistication, but at the same time simplicity, then models with a grommet will be a great addition to your bedroom design. They have many benefits. Such curtains not only look elegant, but also have a reliable fastening, evenly distributed over the window. In addition, they can be easily and quickly removed or moved along the eaves. If you use chiffon, it will simply create a feeling of lightness and airiness.

• Rolled. Recently, such curtains are often used in the design of the bedroom in a modern style. The design has a special roller on which the fabric is wound, if necessary. Due to this scheme, you can easily change the height of the curtains. Another advantage of roller blinds is a special antibacterial impregnation.

• Classic. The classics do not hold back the author's imagination. Any idea can be easily implemented. The many options for draping will also be an advantage. You can attach the curtains to hinges, eyelets, magnetic holder.

• French. This option will allow you to achieve a sense of luxury in the room.

Short curtains, also known as cafe curtains, are designed to cover only the lower half of the windows. They are usually combined with a canopy, which is used at the top. Although this option is mainly used in kitchens, it is also applicable in the bedroom.

Small window curtains are a great choice for small windows, as curtains that are too long and heavy can overwhelm the sleeping space, especially if everything is minimalist inside. Curtains can be used to mask a small window. For example, if the window is narrow but tall, then simple blackout curtains can be hung on both sides to cover the wall. This will give the impression that there is glass extending behind the fabric.

Sheer curtains can add a dose of sophisticated charm to a bedroom space. However, they do not block light or provide the desired privacy. This feature should be kept in mind. Sheer curtains are commonly used in conjunction with other types of draperies.

Pleated panels are a classic so they never go out of style. They look pretty formal, so they work best with a traditional and not overly cluttered design.

Before choosing a color palette for the finish available in the bedroom, you need to find out which fabric is suitable for the curtains.

Consider some aspects of choosing a fabric:

• for a room in which there is too much light during the day, it is worth choosing dense materials;
• dark bedrooms, on the contrary, will require the most transparent solutions;
• heavy curtains are a good choice if additional insulation is required to keep out the cold in winter.

The most commonly used fabrics for curtains are:

• cotton;
• polyester;
• acrylic;
• silk;
• velvet;
• brocade;
• viscose;
• lace.

Cotton is popular for its versatility, polyester is affordable and durable, silk is known for its luxurious effect, and acrylic is prized for its texture. Velvet adds glamor and richness to the space, brocade sets a sophisticated tone, and viscose is durable, soft and breathable.

When choosing a color, you need to remember a few rules:

• take into account the existing range of space: this ensures that the curtains will complement it;
• think about the patterns that are on the wallpaper or any other significant design element in the bedroom (if the wallpaper has an ornament, it is better to choose a plain version of the curtains or a model with a very similar pattern).

If we talk about the color combination, then dark curtains are perfect for a bright bedroom. The combination of white, beige and other warm light shades with dark chocolate or black is always appropriate. But if the room is small, you shouldn't hang dark curtains. At the same time, in a spacious, bright bedroom, white or light curtains create the feeling of a hospital space.

In general, designers have several of the most commonly used color combinations. They look tasteful in any design. Let's consider these combinations in more detail.

• Coffee and light green tones perfectly complement each other. Despite the fact that the second color is quite bright, in tandem with coffee, it ceases to be intrusive.
• If the owners of the house love turquoise, then be sure to add gilding to the decoration.
• Plum goes well with beige.
• Blue shades in any design in the bedroom will look gorgeous and will not annoy the tenants. You can make the curtains 1-2 tones brighter than the walls, or do the opposite.
• When decorating walls in a malachite shade, use a lilac fabric for curtains.
• Light gray or brown curtains will look good in a bright room. They are usually used when decorating a room in a classic style, but they are also suitable for modern.
• The rustic style is ideally complemented by curtains in an olive light shade. You can take any other tone, but it should not be too bright.

When decorating window openings, a decision is often made to choose curtains to match the furniture in the room. This must be done correctly so that all elements are ideally combined with each other. The most difficult thing is to choose curtains if there is furniture in the interior, the upholstery of which has an ornament.

To prevent this from happening, professionals advise to adopt a couple of rules.

• When there is a lot of upholstered furniture in the room, and all of it is made with one ornament, then the curtains can have a similar pattern, but in no case should it be pronounced. If this rule is not observed, then the person who entered will simply begin to ripple in the eyes.
• You should not combine curtains with all pieces of furniture at once: just choose one or several. For example, when the bedroom has a clearly marked workspace, and the chair is highlighted in bright color, then the curtains can be selected a couple of tones lighter than it. The shade of the chair can be repeated in decor items. It could be a panel or a vase, perhaps a painting on the wall.In a monochrome bedroom with a light color, this way it will be easy to highlight a bright accent.

Often, professional designers combine curtains not only in color, but also in texture. You can find examples when the furniture was upholstered with the same fabric from which the curtains on the window were made. The biggest mistake in this case is the complete repetition of the shade. No, here you need to achieve a color dialogue between the window and the space.

Here are some photo examples of successful selection of curtains for the bedroom.

In this case, the author of the design chose the option when the curtains are combined with the shade of the pillows on the bed and the lamp on the bedside table.

Here, the curtains are ideally combined with a blanket, while the designer has chosen the shade correctly. It is slightly darker than textiles. There is also an ornament, but it is not very pronounced.

This is an option when dark blackout curtains fit perfectly into a light bedroom. Despite the fact that their shade is not used anywhere else, they look stylish and modern.
