Window decoration is important, because illiterate curtains can spoil even the most elegant interior.
What are curtains?
Curtains are window decorations made of thin transparent fabrics. Often it is a tulle or a veil on a window opening. In addition, curtains close the room from prying eyes, but do not weigh it down. Even such a thin fabric can significantly scatter the sun's rays, which damage wooden furniture, sofa upholstery and flooring. Choosing curtains is necessary not only relying on fashion trends, but also depending on the style of your apartment. In addition, the owners may have their own preferences for curtains in the living room and bedroom.
Fabric and decor stores present a huge range of solutions - scallops, ruffles, lace, lush lambrequins.If the hostess likes lightness and pretentiousness, French or Austrian curtains are perfect.
Note! In the case of such a choice, the curtains must be strictly on the floor, otherwise the overall look will be a little ridiculous.
If the owners love minimalism, then it is better to refrain from ruffles and frills. You can use roll or panel curtains. If you want to add a romantic touch, an inconspicuous floral pattern will look appropriate on a translucent material. According to the method of fastening, there are:
- ceiling curtains;
- wall curtains.
Curtains can be made of light thin wood, plastic, fabric. Patterns can be elaborate, barely noticeable and translucent. In addition to decorating windows, curtains can be used to zone the space, hang them in place of the doorway and hide behind them a closet, pantry or flaws after repair.
How to properly care for curtains?
Curtains in the kitchen require the most care, as dirt, steam and grease settle on them more. In order for them to always remain beautiful and pleasing to the eye, you need to start caring for them from the very purchase. In addition to the fact that the fabric of the curtains collects internal vapors, it also serves as a barrier from external dust and debris, and prevents the penetration of insects. Curtains should be washed regularly, but only by hand. Even a single wash in the machine can completely ruin the product, deform and break it. If chemicals are used during washing, rinse several times.
Otherwise, the remnants of chemistry will react under the sun's rays and irreversibly spoil the product. In addition, the fumes caused by such a reaction can be very dangerous, especially for children.For dry cleaning, you can try vacuuming the curtains after removing them from the window. You can dry the products by laying them out on a straight surface. It is important to achieve maximum drying. If you need to level the material, this should be done exclusively through a damp cloth so as not to burn the material. Thin curtains not only decorate the room, but also serve as an excellent barrier from debris and prying eyes.
