The role of curtains in the bedroom
The warmest, most comfortable, relaxing room in the house is the bedroom. This is where you can put your thoughts in order after a busy day at work. Therefore, when thinking about the interior of this room, you need to carefully weigh everything, choose the color, furniture, and accessories.
Bright bedrooms are not conducive to relaxation and it is better to choose neutral shades. A contrasting solution where textiles are the accent in the room also looks good. Selected in tone or in a contrasting design, curtains can become an accent in the design of a room and emphasize its originality.
Modern curtains add coziness to the bedroom and protect it from bright daylight. In addition, curtains play an important role in the bedroom interior. They form a single ensemble with the design of the room, made in the same style. Curtains can be the main accent or used as a background.
Blue in home interiors
Blue color, as well as its shades, are considered cold. Therefore, it is very important not to use blue curtains in dark, north-facing rooms, as this will make the living space even gloomier, colder, and devoid of comfort. In sunny southern rooms, blue and blue shades, on the contrary, will give a feeling of freshness, coolness, and sea breeze. The key point is the dimensions of the living space. A richly colored canvas will be relevant for spacious rooms where the windows are large. In a small room, it is better to use textiles in light blue or blue shades, which will visually enlarge the limited space, make it light and visually filled with air.
The color used in the curtains should resonate either with the finishing elements of the home, or with the upholstery of the furniture, or with those accessories that are present in the interior. Curtains and tulle may have ornaments and patterns. Such a design solution for these accessories will be successful if a similar ornament or pattern is present on textiles (for example, pillowcases), carpets, and lamp shades.
The general mood of the room is determined not only by the shade of the color of the curtains, but also by the type of material from which they are made:
- organza will create a feeling of freshness in the hot season;
- satin will give your home lightness and comfort;
- curtains made of dense material, heavy and solid, can visually warm you up on cold winter evenings.
