Kitchen curtains. From classics to modernity (50 photo ideas)

Window decoration in the kitchen is not an easy task. Kitchen curtains should combine practicality - the fabric should be washed well, attractiveness - there are not so many decorative elements in this room, should fit into the interior, and also be easy to use and safe. Many conflicting requirements. Nevertheless, modern curtains for the kitchen, satisfying all these requirements, are presented in different styles, from classics to new products of recent years.

Types of modern curtains

It is most convenient to classify them by type:

• Roman - easy to use, take up a minimum of space, easily adjust the flow of light.

Roman shades rise from the bottom up, curling up into folds

• Rolled. More practical. The top rolls up into a small roll, which, if necessary, unfolds to the bottom, can be easily combined with eyelet or classic curtains.

• French. They differ in the presence of frills, inherent mainly in Provence style kitchens.

  Determine the length

  Now about the choice of length. Most often, modern curtains are made short, long to the windowsill. Firstly, it is practical, the fabric is less dirty. Secondly, rarely a housewife can say that the kitchen is spacious. Therefore, they are trying to "master" every meter of space and the window sill as well. With short curtains it is, perhaps, with long curtains much more complicated. But again, there are exceptions and long curtains and / or tulle are hung in the kitchen.

  You will need long curtains if the room has a balcony. Anyway, on the one hand. In this case, they often take one set of short ones, and the second long ones. Only in this version the design of the kitchen window with a balcony door looks organic. Moreover, it is not at all necessary that their design be the same. The fabric should be the same, and the models may be different. The most common combination is Roman or rolled with eyelets.

  Multilevel Japanese curtains look good on a window with a balcony door. They can be made in different lengths and it will all look good.

  Kitchen curtains for a small window

  When choosing curtains for a small kitchen, regardless of the style of decoration, light colors are preferred. And also the priority is simple laconic forms: folds, draperies, ruffles. This is great, but they kind of "eat up" the space, loading it up. Hence, the main choice is roll, Roman, Japanese, and classic ones are well suited for a rustic interior.

  Since the window area is small, it is advisable to let in light as much as possible. Therefore, they choose from light, translucent fabrics. In this case, tulle or organza curtains are what you need. For window design ideas in a small kitchen, see the following photos.

  Curtains are hung on a narrow window so that thick curtains, if any, are outside the window frame when open. A horizontal pattern - narrow stripes - can visually expand it.

  

  A small sheer curtain on the eyelets with a minimum of folds is also good

  

  Roller blinds or Roman blinds in a small kitchen are the best option: they practically do not take up space

  Filament curtains

  There is one more type of window decoration, which is difficult to attribute to any type. They have appeared recently, and are considered new. They quickly gain popularity as they look magical both on their own and in combination with other fabrics. We are talking about thread (thread, rope) curtains. As the name implies, they consist of separate threads that are fastened together only at the very top. Everything else is loosely hanging strands into which beads, bugles, etc. can be woven.

  They are interesting in themselves. They can be tied, creating an openwork pattern against the background of another fabric. And you can change it at least every day according to your mood.
