Design curtains in the children's room
Textiles and color create the mood of the house. A set of curtains and bedspreads is entrusted with an aesthetic mission that can transform a child’s room overnight. Parents always have a desire to decorate window openings in a trivial way and add paints, visual impressions of the interior and at the same time support the conceptual idea through the paintings.
The search for new ideas in textile design leads to unique results. Elements from art nouveau, shabby chic, rococo, asymmetric art nouveau paintings, curtain classics in original improvisations look original. If there is a desire to design a bedroom based on fairy tales, with the help of fabric, multi-strip cornices, varied decor, the plot is easy to materialize. Over time, the development of the child's outlook will require a correction of design taking into account new interests. The easiest way to do this is again with the help of curtains with which the doll room is transformed into a space for a teenager. We will discuss how to manipulate colors and translate ideas into an article.
In accordance with the style
Curtain creative starts with direct paintings. Classic curtains outside of fashion and in the nursery are just as appropriate as in the living room. The universal duo is designed to manipulate light fluxes depending on the time of day. They are tightly pulled over at night, and during the day they regulate the light intensity by means of light muslin or partial curtaining. Tulle, nylon or organza can be colored, with lace or embroidery, which gives the room a splendor. The dense texture and transparent veil are traditionally often supplemented by a lambrequin.
The window kit will be perceived differently if you move away from the standard decor and resort to sewing technology. An ordinary lambrequin looks more interesting if it is run diagonally, combined with different textures or sew a lining. On the finished bando it is permissible to perform pleated or oncoming folds. As a result of manipulations, a beautiful swag will decorate the room.
Austrian (festoon) curtains are often in demand in window decoration. Cords are sewn along the length of the cut, forming folds when lifting. Their lower part resembles the French "marquises" with the difference that in the unfolded position the canvas remains smooth - without undulating rows. In the collected position below, voluminous scallops are formed. By this principle, it is logical to design a lambrequin. Silk and blended fabrics with graphic or floral patterns are good for such models.
Curtains on grommets are not similar in the way of fastening to other models and are identified with Provence. Plastic or chrome rings inserted into the fabric are strung on a round bar or hooks on canvases threaded into rings. This is a quick way to create volumetric drapery without additional fabric elements. Small eyelets are located in a close line and form lush frequent folds. This type of drapery implies medium or low texture density of matter. Large round structures are first sewn to the braid at a decent distance from each other, and form an impressive volume on the ledge. Country is characterized by a variation on the hinges with ruffles at the bottom and the upper assembly on the cornice. An abundance of frills and flirty bows on batista, linen, cotton or silk touches.
Meters of fabric randomly assembled on braid or intentionally picked up on a bar look nice due to the asymmetry of the canvases. The artistic mess was thought out from the beginning, and the freely hanging rectangular cuts, held by a cord or beautiful pickups, are interpreted from the Art Nouveau position. More complex compositions are created by light negligence of the canvases thrown over the eaves, resembling waves.
Fantasy solutions
It makes sense to arrange curtains for kids functionally and non-banal: decorate with bright clips, Velcro applications. Reflective elements attached to the top of the finished kit will captivate the eye, effectively replacing the nightlight with their flicker. With their help, it is easy to create a plot of the starry sky, supporting the theme of space. On the lower part it is better to sew pockets for small parts. Fastened letters and numbers will cope with the training mission, and fixed long cords and ribbons will serve as a decorative and applied tool for the development of motor skills. A fabric with storytelling pictures from fairy tales, cartoon characters, a large bright pattern will create a relaxed atmosphere.
The desire for a pink idyll, floral patterning and a delicate palette is characteristic of little ladies. A hard lambrequin is ready to take the place of the picture and a large-scale drawing on the fabric, horizontally fixed above the window niche, is able to support the design with the given concept. Side hooks made in the form of toy holders also look original. So, a bunny or a teddy bear, having embraced a gathered canvas, will become a bright accenting moment of the decor.
Versions with bows tied with ribbons of different colors and differing in width will instantly give the room a formal look. The ruffles, the edges of the canvases, trimmed with metallized braid or lace cords, fastened clips - butterflies, angels and similar paraphernalia in principle correspond to the girlish nature. In general, the gamut is represented by rainbow colors, but a bold combination, like a pistachio with pink-red tones, is considered fashionable.
Bright colors, geometric prints, sketches on the theme of astrology, fantasy, animalistic series, abstractions and universal drawings on fabric are priority in the choice of young gentlemen. A bando with textured applications, curly draperies in the form of waves or sails is a hit in the design of a bedroom for a boy. Such variations in thematic design look especially beautiful when decorative components model the space according to the idea. Colorful textiles initially do not require complicated drapery and often enough free-falling canvases to make the opening look decent without the participation of additional accessories.
Color and texture combination is perceived unusually. The reason for the mix can be the color of the walls, the head of the bed, the pattern and paints on the canvases themselves, soft accessories. Relative to the dominant tone, a monochrome canvas is selected, giving a chic effect in curtain sets. Judge how harmonious the complex models look.
It is important to dress two openings in the same textile, choosing the length and model relative to the type of curtains and architectural features of the room. How organically such a presentation is perceived can be judged by the photo.
Should I trust the mechanisms?
The structural parts of the London and Roman curtains are identical and differ only in the shape of the folds. The first nominee for leadership in drapery in an open position, formed small even folds. In the second model, the assembly diagram is presented as follows: the fabric is folded at the top by horizontal segments along the entire width. At the same time, depending on the design, the canvas may look like a full-size picture or become a bright spot in support of the surroundings. In the nursery, such a system is considered the most secure. Lightweight construction, unlike heavy eaves with multilayer drapery, reliably holds the cut and successfully copes with light-insulating and aesthetic functions. There are enough options to find a suitable model among the movable mechanisms with an evenly stretched web.
Along with the designated types, roller blinds are also practical. They are perfect for a modest-sized room, ergonomically placed in the window opening. The fabrics are sewn from different fabrics, but the opaque Black-out fabric, which provides complete dimming, is especially relevant. It is convenient to manipulate with them the intensity of penetrating flows, which effectively protect gadget monitors from glare. Recently, they are increasingly equipped with an automatic system and when lifting are collected in a roll - are wound on a shaft.
Japanese (panel) screens increasingly cover glass. The system is represented by translucent panels, parallel mounted on the frame or version with suspended weighting webs. Absolutely even bright stripes can independently cover glass or become an elegant addition to curtains if they are fixed in a niche. If necessary, the distinction between functional areas is not original than a screen.
A new look at familiar designs
Design ideas have changed the attitude to blinds and today they are often found on the windows of not only offices, but are actively used in home decoration. Modern designs are represented by expensive slats made of wood, fabric, metal, colored plastic, eco-friendly straw. It’s easy to make the blinds exclusive, if you transfer to them photos from the family archive, paintings of masters through photo printing. In the frame of the curtains, the window looks elegant and if you adhere to the drapery scheme by season, alternating canvases will not bother.
To get an atypical design, it is allowed to combine horizontal blinds mounted close to the glass with Roman curtains ajar in the upper part of the niche. It is appropriate to hang a direct or asymmetric lambrequin from above, an impressive swag-picture, play in contrast, combining pure colors in one set.
If you advocate green space, consider Chinese curtains as a drapery. They can be used as a web for controlled systems, folded manually and attached to a cord, which is not very convenient in operation. In this case, stickers applied by stencil or photo printing technology on one of the many openwork weaving more than compensate for the lack of a functional option. In the open position, the curtain will close the glass and merge with the space. If you use the exotic option complete with curtains, you should adhere to their color neutrality. In the absence of decor on bamboo, it is appropriate to add optimistic colors on the curtains. The choice of curtains in the nursery suggests a multivariate solution. You have the right to improvise and search for other formats.
