Windows are an integral part of the room, providing the flow of sunlight and air. But at the same time, by approaching the window decoration correctly, you can significantly change the look of the room, make it more cozy and comfortable, without limiting its main functions. The bedroom in the house is one of those rooms that primarily requires increased comfort, so the right choice of textiles for the window located in it is very important. And one of the ways to create coziness without restricting the flow of light and air into the room, and at the same time provide protection from prying eyes will help curtains for the bedroom.
What are curtains?
Curtains are one of the types of curtains, but at the same time they must have a certain list of properties that must be combined with each other. So the most important of them can be called the ability of the fabric from which they are made to freely transmit light. That is why light translucent materials are used as the main fabrics when sewing, the main of which include lace, nylon, tulle, mesh, organza and veil.
Most often, curtains in the bedroom are used in combination with other textile elements - curtains, which in the morning can completely limit the penetration of sunlight, and in the evening - prying eyes. If such a need does not arise, then the curtain can be used as an independent element, which is intended only for window decoration.
Very often, at present, the curtain is combined with a more modern way of arranging a window opening, such as blinds or roller blinds. In this case, the latter are installed directly on the window frame, and are used as needed, not as a decor, but as a practical addition. The curtain in this case only complements the appearance of the room, bringing home comfort and individuality to it.
Varieties
In addition to the type of fabric from which the curtains are made, they may have other significant differences. So, in separate groups, elements can be distinguished that have differences in the method of fastening, which is carried out by:
- decorative braid. In this case, we mean the use of a lace stretched in a braid and designed to tighten the fabric in order to provide a more attractive appearance. After tightening, folds appear on the fabric canvas, which make the curtain more voluminous. In order to hide the braid, a lambrequin is most often used, as well as special decorative overlays for the cornice;
- eyelets, which can be made of metal or plastic. They are rings, in the middle part of which there is a hole for hanging curtains on the cornice. Their attachment to the fabric is carried out using a special device. With the correct hanging of such a curtain on the eaves, beautiful waves are formed, the size of which depends on the frequency of installation of the eyelets;
- loops, which can be made of the same material as the curtain itself or differ from it. The same can be said about the color of these elements. For fixing on the eaves, the loops can have buttons, buttons or other similar elements, or simply tied around the crossbar.
Right choice
In order for the choice of curtains for the bedroom to be made correctly, it is necessary to adhere to certain rules, the main of which include:
- the size of the canvas should significantly exceed the width of the window opening. The best option is to completely hide the wall on which the window is located behind the curtain canvas. The height of the curtain should be equal to the height of the wall;
- taking into account the features of the room, which will affect not only the choice of material, but also the installation of the cornice. So, for example, in a room with a low ceiling height, it is best to hang the curtain using a cornice mounted directly on the ceiling. If there are not closed heating radiators in the room, which are most often located under the window opening, at least 200-250 mm must be retreated from the wall so that the fabric does not come into contact with the battery;
- a combination of color and style of curtains with curtains, lambrequins and the general interior of the room.
In addition, when choosing, attention should be paid to the material from which the curtains are made. Not only the appearance of the room and the effect to be achieved will depend on this, but also the care of the curtains, which in the case of the bedroom should be constant and thorough. So, a veil is called a thin soft fabric with a plain weave of threads that are made from woolen or cotton yarn, polyester or silk. To obtain the desired color, the veil is bleached or dyed. Very often, for its decoration, one or another pattern is knocked out on its surface or embroidery is applied. The required care for such curtains will be automatic or hand washing at a temperature not exceeding 30 degrees, while those that contain bleach cannot be chosen as laundry detergents. When ironing fabrics, the temperature of the soleplate of the iron should not exceed 110 degrees, while a fabric lining should be laid underneath. The use of steam during ironing is prohibited, which greatly complicates the process. Organza, on the other hand, is more rigid. It can also be washed in an automatic washing machine. But only on condition that spinning is not included in the washing program. After washing, this curtain must be hung out in a wet state, and when ironing, it is necessary to use a steamer, otherwise the desired effect from this process cannot be achieved.
Curtains in the bedroom play one of the important roles in interior design. On the one hand, they protect the room from the sun's rays, and on the other hand, they serve as a decor. Depending on the color and style, material and method of fastening, they look different, and when choosing curtains for the bedroom, you need to take into account the characteristics of the room.

Such fabrics differ in similar characteristics: organza, nylon, tulle, which do not retain light and air.
main destination
Given that the word curtains come from “garder”, translated from English to protect, respectively, this product has another meaning, so airy materials are replaced by curtains that close the window well.
Considering window decor as an element of window decoration, you can emphasize its main functional features, namely:
Window decoration. The curtain changes the space of the window, making strict lines almost transparent, airy and comfortable space.
The peaceful atmosphere in the bedroom is conducive to a pleasant stay
Diffusion of bright natural light. Designers use this opportunity to create an exclusive interior space in which light and gilded shades are in harmony.
Protection of the environment from burnout.
Arrangement of an atmosphere of solitude during the day. Today, this problem is quite common, because in a crowded settlement it is difficult to be alone with your own thoughts, but you really want to be separated from everyone.
How to choose curtains?
When there are curtains, the task associated with choosing curtains is greatly simplified, but certain rules should be followed:
The shade of the curtain should be selected lighter by several tones of the curtain.
Do not forget that snow-white curtains without a pattern are considered universal, in perfect harmony with every interior.
Curtains decorated with decorative details can be a separate window accessory. Otherwise, they must certainly be in harmony with the ornament on the curtains, or a curtain is selected in a light palette, decorated with a simple ornament, but with a shade of curtains.
Curtain in the form of an arch looks great in a room with high ceiling surfaces and on a large window opening, if we are talking about a small bedroom, then it is preferable to choose a floor-length decor.
When choosing, the material of the curtain is of great importance.
To decorate the curtains and the window block, various tiebacks are used, as well as lambrequins, which will become decorative elements that combine curtains and other room accessories, which is why it is important to combine them with objects in shade and style.
Comfort is given not so much by the atmosphere as by the lighting and, of course, the textiles chosen with taste.
There are several options for tulle for the rest room:
Curtains with original braid are considered unchanged classics. The lace, which is stretched through the braid, makes it possible to create folds, assemblies. Lambrequin gives the composition originality.
Rings made of high-quality plastic or aluminum have become elements for creating curtains on grommets. Their fastening is carried out on top of the product, after which they are equipped directly on the eaves.
This method makes it possible to obtain attractive folds in waves, distributed over the window opening as evenly as possible.
The size of the curtains must certainly be larger than the windows. The decor with small folds is incredibly original.
The fabric should be weightless, light in color, so you can create small folds to visually expand the ceiling surface and add aristocracy to the rest room.
If a battery is located under the window unit, then it is important to remember this before placing the curtains and arranging the cornice.
Remember that curtains can transform the bedroom, give it luxury and style.
A well-chosen material for a window unit will make an interior space that suits its owners for a long period of time.
Photo of curtains in the bedroom
A person spends a third of his life in the bedroom, which is why it is so important to pay special attention to the interior of the room. Textiles will help to add zest and accents - the right bedspread and curtains can turn the bedroom into a place where it will be pleasant to return after a hard day's work.
Functions
Curtains are designed to perform very specific functions in the bedroom:
- Lighting adjustment. In accordance with preferences, you can choose curtains of one or another density and with their help either preserve secluded twilight, or vice versa, let in more natural light from the street into the room.
- Hiding space from prying eyes. This feature is especially relevant for residents of the first floors of apartment buildings.
- In addition, with the help of curtains, you can easily zone the space. This is a real salvation for small apartments and studio apartments. By fixing the curtains on the curtain built into the ceiling, you can separate the bed from the rest of the room.
- Do not forget about the aesthetic function of curtains. Properly selected textiles will add coziness and harmony to the space, and if necessary, help expand it.
Varieties
Today, there are many different styles of curtains - from the simplest tulle or veil to complex lambrequins, which sometimes cause difficulties in both proper placement and care.
However, all types can be divided according to the type of opening into:
- sliding;
- lifting;
- stationary.
Sliding
The sliding type involves the movement of canvases in different directions to the side parts of the window; such curtains are classic and still do not lose their popularity. Only models, decor, fabrics used for their manufacture undergo changes.
Types of sliding curtains:
- Straight curtains- the most common model. Here, usually a thin curtain-veil is located in the center, closing the window, and along the edges there are heavier and denser curtains that go to the wall. These details of the curtains are vertically fixed on the cornice, and if necessary, move apart in opposite directions. Triple curtains can also be attributed to this type - this is a new fashion trend in the field of design. For the manufacture of this model, three layers of canvases are used, successfully combined in color and texture, or vice versa, formed for reasons of contrast.
- Another new word in the design of direct models are the so-called double-sided curtains. The canvas consists of two pieces of fabric that are sewn on the wrong side to each other. The main emphasis in them is that the side facing the window looks out at different angles, forming an interesting effect.
- Curtains with lambrequins. By type, this is a direct sliding model. It differs only in the addition of a decorative element - a lambrequin. It can be fixed as an independent element on the cornice, or be an integral element of the curtain fabric. Lambrequin can have both a rigid structure and soft flowing flounces made of thin fabric. The choice will depend only on the style of the room and the imagination of its inhabitants.
- Filament curtains, or muslin. Ideal for zoning space. Such curtains most often represent a falling waterfall of rather weighty threads that can bring notes of freshness and lightness into the room.
lifting
The second type of curtains - lifting. They are called so due to their specificity. This is a canvas of fixed size, which, if necessary, rises and falls along the plane of the window. Kinds:
- Rolshtora, popular today, belong to this type. They are a perfectly smooth canvas that is twisted into a neat roll. A special mechanism is able to fix the material at any height required by the user. In this category, there are both completely opaque models that will be ideal for the bedroom, as well as thinner and more transparent options.
- Austrian curtains- this type, rising, forms beautiful shuttlecocks that add romance to the room.
- Roman. This type is made of dense fabric, folding occurs due to the strips fixed at equal distances - the curtain is folded like an accordion and rises to the top of the window with a thread or chain that drives the mechanism.
Stationary
Well, the last type is stationary models. Such curtains are tightly fixed on the eaves, they are completely deprived of the possibility of movement. Most often, this option is used for decorative purposes, so you can create the appearance of the existence of a window in its absence.
Style directions in design
When choosing curtains, it is necessary to take into account the overall interior of the room. If the interior of the bedroom is designed in the style of Minimalism or Hi-tech, it makes no sense to choose elaborate curtains with gold monograms; simple and concise models will do here. The best solution would be roller blinds or simple straight canvases of a suitable color. Experiments with graphic silhouettes will well emphasize the choice of style solution for the space.
Baroque style on the contrary, it will be able to accept the most expensive heavy curtains with gold trim. Velvet, velor, fringe and bows will also easily fit into this style. Curtains with various heavy lambrequins and frills will be appropriate.
For interior in Art Nouveau style light modern options are suitable, they must necessarily have smooth lines and be performed in delicate pastel colors. Perhaps the addition of plant or animal ornaments. Lambrequins, crossed, Austrian-type curtains will be a good choice for a bedroom with such an interior solution.
Provence style necessarily requires natural fabrics. Straight models made of linen or cotton, natural shades in a small flower will be the perfect finishing touch to French chic.
Furnishing the bedroom in country or rustic style it is also necessary to pay special attention to the naturalness of the material. As for the color scheme, you can choose sand and chocolate shades with a geometric print, and as for the model, you can safely choose any type of curtains or choose the classic straight version.
What to consider when choosing?
For a successful choice of curtains in a room, it is necessary to take into account not only the style direction of the design and color scheme of the room, but also its functional features. The size of the window, its shape, the presence and size of window sills, the balcony door - all this can affect the choice.
A standard rectangular window does not create any restrictions in choice, any shape, any style solution will look great with such a window. In addition, curtains are easy to choose from a ready-made assortment presented in most textile stores. Non-standard windows such as skylights will look advantageous with roller blinds or heavy curtains in several layers. For bay windows, stationary curtains would be a good option, dense fabric cuts placed exactly at the junctions of the window will favorably emphasize the size of the window and smooth out its sharp corners with a triangular or trapezoidal shape. If the bay window forms a semicircle, you can choose a solid canvas, the movement of which will be carried out in a semicircle on a special flexible cornice.
In order to correctly determine the size and length of the curtains, it is necessary, first of all, to determine the length of the cornice on which the curtain will be placed. To do this, you need to measure the distance from it to the floor, as well as to the edge of the window sill. So, standard curtains have a length equal to the measurement from the eaves to the floor minus 1-2 cm, elongated models are obtained by adding 20-30 cm to the same length, and shortened models are equal to the distance from the eaves to the upper edge of the window sill.
As for the width, here it is also necessary to take into account the length of the cornice. On short cornices up to 1.5 meters long, the width of the canvas should be equal to the length of the cornice, a 2-meter cornice requires a width one and a half times more, and a 3-meter one requires a width increased by 2 or even 2.5 times.
How to choose by color?
When choosing a fabric color for curtains, you need to take into account that in order for the interior to look stylish and harmonious, the curtains must be combined with the general decor of the room, with other textiles used in it, with wallpaper, sofa upholstery, carpet.
Experts advise choosing colors of earthy and pastel shades for the bedroom, deep dark colors are also appropriate.
- Brown and beige shades- universal colors that can easily fit any style solution and can be harmoniously combined with most colors used in design. Also, these colors are good for use in small spaces, as they have the ability to visually expand the space.
- Green. Calm, muted natural shades of green will add freshness, peace, and tranquility to the room. This color feature makes it an indispensable choice for decorating a bed.
- Gray color and its shades- silver and steel are neutral and can add some gloom and over-restraint to the room, but the right accents will help to avoid this. Using gray color, you can create a cozy and calm space.
- purple is one of the most popular colors of the Provence style. So, for example, white curtains with a purple floral pattern on them can fill the interior with light and lightness.
- A win-win and always popular option - simple light curtains in white with a slight assembly. They will create the illusion of increasing space, protect the room from bright sunlight, thereby giving lightness and warmth to the space.
- To add graphicity to the bedroom, you can choose black and white curtains. For example, black straight curtains with a hard pelmet and a white curtain will look very elegant. However, when choosing black, you need to take care of sufficient lighting, otherwise there is a risk of getting a very gloomy room.
It is not recommended to choose bright colors that stimulate activity for the bedroom, such as bright yellow, orange, red, it is better to concentrate on their more muted shades - light lemon, peach, pink. They will add some brightness, warmth and joy to the room.
What material to stop?
Today, stores offer many options for curtain fabrics, various compositions, colors, density and light transmission. When choosing, it is necessary to take into account their practicality, durability, cleaning requirements.
Materials used to make curtains:
- Cotton. Strong and durable material, does not collect dust, easy to wash and iron. The disadvantages of cotton fabric include rapid fading in the sun. You can prevent this by using cotton as the front side of a double-sided curtain.
- Linen. A natural material that has an amazing ability to retain color and not fade for many years. Linen curtains have increased strength, but are rather difficult to iron and can shrink during washing.
- Velvet- heavy fleecy material with a characteristic sheen. It gives the interior a truly royal chic. It has the ability to retain heat in the room, but it also has a significant disadvantage - dust collects very quickly in this material.
- Atlas - light, slippery, shiny material. The embossed smooth surface can add solemnity to the interior.
- Organza- Synthetic lightweight fabric. This is a versatile material that can fit into a room of any purpose and style. The fabric does not wrinkle, but at the same time it drapes very well, which allows you to make lambrequins of any complexity from it. Organza also pairs well with other thicker, heavier materials.
- Tulle- a self-sufficient fabric, it is initially made with various patterns or has a grid structure. The material holds its shape well and does not wrinkle, while it requires careful care and is afraid of high temperatures, so washing and ironing are only possible in a gentle mode.
- The most dense material today is blackout. This is a three-layer canvas that is ideal for isolating the bedroom from both sunlight and extraneous noise from the street. In addition, the blackout has the ability to regulate the temperature in the room, preventing the influence of too hot or, conversely, excessively cold temperatures from the outside. If a couple of years ago blackout could be found in the collections of rare manufacturers, today stores offer more and more samples of different colors and styles to choose from.
Mounting methods
The attractive appearance and functional features of the curtains will also depend on the way they are attached above the window. Most often, a cornice is used for this.
Types of cornices:
- ceiling;
- wall.
But to fix the curtain itself on the eaves, there are many different ways. The choice determines the type of cornice, the density and model of the curtains, the color of the fabric and, of course, the style features of the room:
- Tie fastening is an excellent option for fabric models. Ties can be made in the same color scheme, or they can play the role of a bright contrasting spot and be combined, for example, with the tie-backs used in the kit. Satin and nylon ribbons, cords or pieces of fabric suitable for curtains can serve as ties. The tying methods are very standard - a bow and a knot. It is important to remember that the heavier the fabric used to sew the curtains, the denser and stronger the material of the ties should be, otherwise there is a risk of their rapid abrasion.
- Mounting on shackles or hinges- a type of fastening similar to the previous version. This is a classic option that looks harmoniously with almost any model of curtains. Loops made from a suitable fabric can add length to the curtain fabric and visually raise the ceilings. This type of fastening is ideal for wall-mounted rod-type cornice.
- Curtains on grommets– simple and versatile mounting option. Eyelets are special rings made of metal, plastic or wood that are installed at the top of the curtain. A cornice pipe is threaded through the holes formed by the eyelets. To create an interesting unusual effect, you can choose eyelets in the color of the canvas or cornice.
- Drawstring curtains- an option that any hostess can do even without special training. The top of the curtain is hemmed along the width of the cornice and forms a special tunnel, into which the cornice is subsequently passed. Such curtains will ideally fit into rooms designed in Provence or Country style.
- Curtains with braid- this option is different in that when using this method of fastening, it is possible to adjust the size and type of folds on the curtains at will, tightening or loosening special threads inside the braid. In addition, this type is suitable for any kind of eaves.
For children's bedroom
When choosing curtains for a child's bedroom, it is better to give preference to natural fabrics that are easy to wash and easy to iron. In the children's room, it is quite appropriate to use materials with drawings, brighter shades. The fabric can be of completely different density, but a more preferable option is a combination of shady thick curtains and a thinner light veil that will let the sun's rays into the room.
Fashion ideas for a bright interior
In modern life, it is impossible to fully exist without following fashion trends. Interior design also has its own trends.
Bedroom decoration in the style of Minimalism and Hi-tech is now in fashion. . Hence the choice of curtains - a straight, laconic cut, most often a plain dense fabric for curtains and a light, weightless curtain are used. A minimum of decor and the simplest texture is the key to the success of a fashionable high-tech interior. Often, popular opaque blackout materials are used to complete the look, they are also able to fit perfectly into the chosen style. Can add flair curtain muslin the right color.
Which season is at its peak double curtains with a contrast lining. This option is very good for rooms with direct sunlight, because the lining is able to protect the main fabric from fading, and by bending the lining of such a model outward, you can get an interesting and beautiful accent.
Among the novelties are curtains with horizontal stripes. They can consist of a separate piece of fabric with a striped print, or they can be combined from strips of different fabrics, textures and colors - the field for experiments is open.
More and more often today you can find on the windows such an option as Photo curtains. This is a canvas on which any image is applied. So, for example, with the help of this rather fashionable idea today, you can see your beloved cat every morning not only on the next pillow, but also in an enlarged format on the window opening.
However, in order to get a fashionable, memorable interior, you need to take into account the design details. For example, a cornice matched to the color of the walls or the curtains themselves will create a rather interesting effect of floating curtains, and a contrasting bright one will become an accent in combination with pillows or a rug matched in color.
Ideas for custom windows
Not all bedrooms boast large standard rectangular windows. Increasingly, to save material and reduce the size of the room, windows are reduced along with the size of the room. So, if the window is very small or narrow, an excellent option would be to choose large full-fledged blackout curtains that will create the appearance that there is a full-sized window opening behind them.
Skylights can be decorated with curtains, which will be located immediately on two cornices. One will be fixed at the very top of the room, long full-fledged straight curtains will be located on it. It is appropriate to place the second cornice or a special holder directly under the window - it will pick up the curtain, which forms a good frame for the window opening and preserves the individuality of its shape.
In addition, a shortened version of a regular curtain can be placed on the second cornice. This option will also look quite interesting and advantageous.
Also, roof windows can be advantageously emphasized by a thick Roman blind, it will repeat the shape of the window and hide the room from prying eyes.
It is not always desirable to hide the non-standard form of the window, as, for example, in the first variant. Bay windows and panoramic windows on the contrary, I want to emphasize. Here, special flexible cornices come to the rescue, which are able to completely repeat the shape of the windows. By complementing such a window with a thin veil with light drapery, you can get a light interior full of light.
For windows of various geometric shapes (triangle, parallelogram, trapezium, house-shaped windows), you can choose asymmetrical models, where the emphasis will be on one of the sides - it can be longer, richer decorated or have a completely different shape.
How to sew?
Despite such a huge variety of ready-made curtains, tulle and veils offered today by various manufacturers, many people sooner or later have the idea to sew curtains with their own hands.
To implement the idea, you will need a fabric, it is best to choose natural, dense materials that do not slip and do not stretch - it will be easier for a novice master to deal with them. In addition, you need a sewing machine, a curtain tape, sewing accessories such as scissors and threads, and, if desired, various decor that will complement the image of a homemade curtain.
It is necessary to start sewing by choosing a model of curtains, which will have to turn out in the end. Next, find or make a pattern suitable for this model. When cutting out the details of the pattern from the fabric, you need to remember that on each side you need to leave allowances of a couple of centimeters for hemming the edges. After all the details are successfully cut out of the selected fabric, you can start sewing. It is necessary to sew the details with simple straight stitches, at the end sew a special tape to the top of the curtain, provide the ropes in it with the tension necessary for the design and hang a finished home-made curtain on the window.
Modern curtains in the bedroom have many stylistic directions, so they can be matched to the interior of any room.
The design of curtains in the bedroom has always played a big role, they were used as accent pieces in the space.
And also performed a protective function from the sun's rays and the prying eyes of passers-by.
Classic curtain style
Modern beige is rarely used in the manufacture of curtains for the bedroom, because walls are often painted with this shade, and there is plenty of it in the interior.
Beige curtains for the bedroom look good with walls that have deep shades, such as steel blue. If the background is gray, then beige will look appropriate and practical. Solid colors are new for bedroom curtains this season.
Light shades of fabric visually increase the area of the room, and darker ones saturate the bedroom with bright colors.
