Kitchen window decoration
Despite the fact that most designers recommend abandoning the magnificent decoration of windows, preferring the simplicity and conciseness of minimalism and hi-tech styles, many still prefer light, almost airy options in the style of shabby chic or provence.
Flower decor
The first is characterized by floral prints, airiness and “blur” of color. For curtains, you can make pickups from nylon, organza in the color of the curtains. An interesting solution to the decoration of curtains with your own hands - the design of light tulle with fabric flowers - they can be made from ribbons - kapron or organza, beads and sew on the bottom of the curtains, making a light drapery.
Embroidery and ruffles
Provence also welcomes light fabrics, floral or cell-striped prints. Delicate curtains for the kitchen can be made of white cotton, decorating them with cross-stitch or stitch embroidery - small floral motifs, butterflies or birds will become a window decoration. You can decorate the curtains with a bright frill in a cage, checkered pick-ups or make bows out of bright fabric and fix them on top, closer to the curtain.
Bows
If you are not attracted to traditional curtains, you can choose a more modern option - blinds, Roman curtains. If you choose the one-color option, you can decorate them with colored bows, passing the fabric ribbon on both sides - the back and front of the roll. In the raised state, the blinds are kept by beautiful bows tied at the bottom. Bows with a width of 8-10 centimeters will look beautiful.
Bright windows of the nursery
A riot of colors triumphs in the nursery. The additional decor of the curtains here may be superfluous. However, when ordering a curtain, you can additionally order unusual lambrequins. If you want to make the curtains “outgrow”, preferring simple forms, consider these options:
- Filament curtains. You can buy them ready-made, but it is more interesting to do them yourself - then you will choose the color and texture that you want.
- Toy pickups. Cute little animals, sewn or tied with their own hands, gently hug the curtain, preventing her from closing the window. A button is sewn to one foot, a loop is made to the other.
It is even easier to make pickups from an old computer disk:
- a circle is cut out from the disk with a soldering iron;
- the circle is wrapped in satin or kapron ribbon;
- the resulting hoop can be decorated with artificial flowers, ribbons, a small soft toy;
- cover the sushi stick with spray paint or wrap with satin ribbon. She will help to keep the curtain.
Butterflies, flowers
You can decorate the curtains in the nursery with the help of decorative brooches - butterflies, flowers with pins attached to the curtains. Decorative elements can be attached to the cord directly to the rings on which the curtains are mounted.
Curtains held on the curtain with the help of fabric loops (fashion trend!) Decorated with ... huge decorative buttons will look original.

A variety of pickups will decorate the window:

Hinge mount
The desire for simplicity allows the complete absence of decorative elements on the curtains, but sometimes you want to add some kind of variety to the interior, "dilute" strict lines. In this case, you can fix the curtains on loops made of the same fabric as the curtains, or companion fabrics. Hinges at the same distance are mounted on the curtains and worn on a round cornice.
You can fix the hinges on the curtain in various ways:
- Velcro
- on buttons (including decorative ones);
- sewing loops directly to the curtain.
Combination
The room will be revived in minimalism styles, vintage combined curtains. The curtains of two companion fabrics will harmoniously fit into the interior: checkered and one-colored. Their ratio should be approximately 1: 4.
If you design a room in a Mediterranean style, an interesting combination will be created by white and blue striped fabric and white one-colored. You can complement them with marine-themed decor.
Curtains on grommets
The cut off upper part (it is possible from companion fabric) needs to be previously condensed - non-woven, eyelet tape or other materials. Then, holes are made at equal distance — along the diameter of the cornice — and eyelets are installed. They can be purchased at construction stores or companies engaged in outdoor advertising - these are installed on street banners.
Fashion trends window design
The desire for simplicity and convenience dictates its own rules for decorating windows. Plain-dyed fabrics, dense, natural materials - linen, cotton, silk, organza are in fashion. The preference of the year is linen and bamboo.
In general, the interior design and window decoration is dominated by the natural style. Hence the color preferences: close to natural or cold tones:
- blue;
- Gray;
- walnut;
- green;
- blue green;
- brown;
- tan.
Plain materials are preferred, while portieres are monolayer. If double curtains are used, the tulle or organza in color should be as close as possible to the color of the wallpaper or slightly brighter. Options are acceptable when only thin, transparent organza curtains are used. The length of the curtains is made to the floor, it is even better - with a small approach to the floor.
The right choice of curtains, the original design of the windows will make the interior complete, and the decor of the curtains with your own hands will bring cosiness to the room, create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation.
