- Number and shape of windows;
- Stylistic interior design;

Modern design of curtains for the living room (new photo 2016)
Modern trends in the design of the living room, as well as other rooms in the house, are increasingly reduced to minimalism, simplicity and conciseness. When it comes to curtains, this means choosing a solid color fabric with a simple cut that will make an impression with a beautiful color or expressive texture. In 2016, curtains in luxurious blue shades, as well as neutral beige, gray and brown tones, are especially popular.
In addition to a pleasant appearance, curtains should provide comfort to people in the room: protect from the sun and give privacy. Therefore, today the trend is functional, a combination of traditional curtains with roller blinds and blinds, as well as curtains made of dense fabric.
Roller blinds and Roman blinds made of simple natural fabrics (cotton or linen) fit perfectly into the laconic atmosphere of modern living rooms. In a minimalist interior design, it can be quite difficult to find the right decor for windows, so here they also serve as decoration. Patterned roman blinds look best when combined with thick monochrome curtains, and if they have a pronounced texture (like bamboo), then with light and transparent tulles.
Fabric blinds in 2016 do not lose their popularity, especially their vertical models. They not only protect the interior of the living room from the bright sun, but also create a visual illusion of increasing the height of the ceiling.
Stylish curtains for the living room 2016. Choosing a color scheme
The modern style of the living room is easily emphasized by dark-colored curtains, especially if their shade is also included in the upholstery of upholstered furniture, sofa cushions or other interior elements.
Curtains in pastel colors are a win-win option for a calm and cozy living room design in a modern or classic style. In addition, they are perfect for decorating a hall in popular Provence and Shabby Chic styles.
Curtains for the living room in beige and brown are always on trend to create a natural and relaxing atmosphere. In 2016, you should especially look at fabrics in the color of milk chocolate, cocoa or potter's clay.
Snow-white curtains can be the best complement for a luxurious art deco or shabby chic living room design, as well as black and white rooms. In turn, black and dark gray curtains will look natural without weighing down the interior, only in the living room with bright white walls and ceiling.
A simple rule for you to remember: if the wallpaper in the living room has a pattern, then the curtains should be simple, and vice versa. In 2016, plain curtains for the living room are in trend, but if you already have plain wallpaper and sofa upholstery in the hall, then curtains with a beautiful modern pattern can enliven the interior and become its main decoration. Among the patterns for curtains, vertical stripes, geometric and modern floral motifs are in fashion today, as in the following photos.

Curtains for the hall 2019-2020: trends
The fashion for minimalism and laconic Scandinavian design with the stingy and emphatically simplified approaches to window design inherent in these styles has begun to become obsolete. It is pleasant to note that in the collections of fashionable window textiles since 2016 more lush, bright, complex and elegant trends began to appear. Therefore, we are pleased to present you with the following guidelines that will help you choose fashionable and functional curtains for the hall and be sure that they will not go out of style in the next few years:
1. Lush decoration
As we have already mentioned, laconicism in interior design is beginning to lose ground, which means that simple and modest, practical "bare" windows are a thing of the past. Long live intricate drapery, lush layering and heavy, luxurious drapes.
2. Rich, dynamic colors
Also, the exit from the fashion of minimalism and the Scandinavian style marks the return of bright and saturated colors of window textiles. And what better can complement the atmosphere of the room and make it more comfortable and memorable, if not curtains in the right color? Bright curtains are especially good in the cold and rainy season - they create the illusion of a warm sunny day and cheer you up.
Note that in 2019-2020, curtains for the hall in aquamarine, noble emerald, exotic tropical jungle colors will be especially popular (and the corresponding prints should also not be ignored).

In this case, we are talking about vertical and horizontal blinds made of wood and roller blinds made of bamboo, which have been on the list of the most current “window” trends for several years in a row. Wooden and bamboo blinds are not only reliable protection from the sun, but also complete environmental friendliness, natural colors and a memorable style for your home.
Note that roller blinds that close from the bottom up are gaining popularity. This version of the roller blind is one of the most profitable and convenient for people living on the ground floor (curtains can be raised to a certain height to block the view from the street, but at the same time, the upper part of the window remains open and enough sunlight enters the room ), and for those who want to hide their indoor plants from direct sunlight.
In order to choose the perfect curtains for the hall 2016-2016, you need to consider the following nuances:
- the footage of the room and the height of the ceilings;
- number and shape of windows;
- stylistic interior design;
- interior color palette
- color, texture and other characteristics of furniture upholstery;
- color, texture and prints (if any) of wallpaper or wall coverings;
Note that the use of such rather bulky and immediately conspicuous decorative elements in the hall is permissible only if you have a spacious room with high ceilings. Otherwise, you risk making the room visually even more cramped, and the ceilings even lower.
Roller blinds made of cotton and linen are the perfect solution for a modern interior, which can be used both in combination with classic curtains and separately, depending on the stylistic interior solutions you choose.
Roller blinds for the hall 2019-2020 look beautiful and modern from a thin translucent material with a print. Such curtains are ideally combined with heavy plain curtains.
Roman blinds also fit perfectly into the interior of the hall, allowing you to create a spectacular, classic design.
If you choose textile blinds for the hall, pay attention to vertical blinds - this option will ideally fit into the strict interior of the living room. Note that this option is especially good for small rooms with low ceilings: laconic vertical blinds will provide your room with perfect lighting and allow you to visually increase its footage and make the ceilings visually higher.
However, horizontal textile blinds can also be used in the interior of the hall. But in this case, give preference to light shades.
Curtains for the 2019-2020 hall look very modern and stylish on grommets or rings. This is a very practical and convenient trend, which was appreciated by many housewives:
