When choosing curtains, it is important to consider the density of the fabric, texture and of course the shade

Brown curtains in the interior of the rooms:

1.	Cabinet	Brown curtains are relevant in the interior with a business setting, they set up for work. This color is typical of English classics. They combine perfectly with wooden wall cladding and Chesterfield leather sofas (high armrests and a low back with a carriage swivel).
2.	Teenage girl room	Spectacular chocolate curtains with pink floral curtains are a non-alternative option for a Shabby chic or romantic style room. You can vary the design of the window opening, but the combination itself reminds of desserts.
3.	Kitchen	In the room where the fat suspension settles, the practicality of the environment is important, even with a powerful hood. More important is not the shade, but the choice of synthetic fabric (easy to wash and do not iron). It is better to choose a figured cut of curtains, day-night curtains or blinds with thread curtains in yellow and brown shades.
4.	Bedroom	Need an atmosphere of peace and relaxation. Dense curtain fabric without a pattern with a noble sheen will block the light from the window, adjusting to sleep. A fashionable trend is electric-powered ceiling cornices with a remote control to control the curtains while lying in bed. Excellent know-how for modern styling.
5.	Children	Dark curtains are not recommended, better caramel and beige curtains with a "children's" pattern, in harmony with furniture and accessories. The bedroom of the little princess is better than the classic, palace and Barbie style.
6.	Living room	A win-win chocolate-beige gamut or chocolate-golden curtains are suitable for most styles. An alternative in the Japanese style is screen curtains with hieroglyphs on special eaves.
