Modern interior design styles often involve a complete abandonment of curtains. However, from a practical point of view, tulle is necessary. Why hang tulle on windows?
Every housewife will find several reasons why she does this. And it’s not just about coziness, comfort and aesthetics. In addition to these nuances, there are others that allow us to confidently note that transparent curtains in the room are simply necessary.
Hide from prying eyes
Unlike heavy curtains, tulle is not such a reliable protector from prying eyes trying to see what is happening outside the window when the apartment owners turn on the lights. But in the daytime, tulle will do the job perfectly.
If there is a need to hide what is happening in your own apartment from curious neighbors when it is light outside, you can safely order tulle curtains that will help in this matter.
Privacy
The first and most important advantage that tulle provides is the ability to hide your home from prying eyes without compromising the loss of natural light. Agree, there is little pleasure in the fact that your neighbors and passers-by look into your windows and watch you have breakfast, do the cleaning or walk around the house in a negligee. Even the lightest tulle curtain can protect you from this.
Masks an ugly radiator
It’s quite easy to give a room a presentable appearance if you correctly distribute accessories in the space.
And one of the details is correctly selected curtains, which can highlight the advantages of any room with originality and attractiveness. If the apartment has not yet replaced old radiators with new ones, you can easily disguise this drawback. To do this, just select long tulle curtains with decor that matches the style of the room and hang them on the windows. The result will be a quite decent external picture.

The idea of gluing tulle to indoor windows seems strange at first. True, it is worth listing all the advantages of this method, and most housewives immediately seriously think about repeating the trick of the resourceful grandmother, who used two curtains at once. I hung one on the cornice, and placed the second on the glass...
One tulle is on the window, and the second is on the cornice.
Tulle windows are a real godsend for rooms whose windows face south. Even in winter, such rooms are too hot; the sun, combined with working radiators, dries out the air and raises the temperature. Dark curtains are not the best solution, since they visually reduce the space of the room, and over time they turn into bulky dust collectors, which are not so easy to care for. With tulle, on the contrary, everything is clear: it can be removed at any time, washed and hung back in literally a matter of minutes.
To glue tulle to a window, you must first soak it in starch.
All you need is the tulle and starch itself. Next is a matter of technology. First, cut out rectangles from tulle exactly to the size of the glass, and we will glue them on. Then brew the starch by mixing it with water in a ratio of 1 tbsp. a heaping spoonful of starch in half a liter of water. The tulle needs to be rinsed in clean warm water, and the still warm starch should be poured into the wrung out curtains so that they are completely saturated with the sticky mass. It's time to glue the tulle.
The smaller the pattern on the tulle, the more spectacular the result.
The tulle is easy to glue, the main thing is to straighten all the folds.
The tulle soaked in starch should be applied to the window, starting from the top, and smooth out the folds with your hands while it is still damp. The more carefully you straighten out all the folds, the better the result you will get. Remember that while you are gluing the tulle, the windows and doors to the room must be closed. You can ventilate the room in the morning, when everything is dry.
Such glued curtains protect not only from sunlight, but also from the eyes of passers-by or those who live in the house opposite. This is an excellent solution for a balcony that needs to be shaded, and for a summer house.
To remove the glued tulle, just wet it with water.
If you constantly have problems cleaning your blinds, then washing such small curtains will not cause any difficulties. To remove them, just moisten the glued curtain with a spray bottle or just a damp cloth. The starchy “glue” will immediately melt. Remove from the window, wash as usual and hang again without drying or ironing.
The tulle can be easily removed and re-glued.

Emphasizes the style features of the finish
Tulle curtains are an important accessory that helps convey style features in the process of arranging a room.
If the design project involves finishing the room in a classic style, then you can choose organza tulle curtains with various decorative elements that can convey the grace of shapes and smooth lines. For ascetic high-tech and unpretentious minimalism, transparent curtains made to match the overall color scheme of the room are suitable. If you plan to decorate in a country style, then it makes sense to pay attention to cotton curtains.

How to choose curtains and tulle?
When choosing fabric for curtains, you should take into account a number of rules, because curtains and tulle should highlight the interior, and not hide in it. To create a cozy atmosphere, the color scheme and fabric texture must be correctly combined with furniture, walls, carpet patterns, and surrounding objects.
The design of curtains and their drapery should visually increase the space. Curtains are made from polyester, viscose, cotton, silk. The most practical to use are products made of polyester. They are easy to wash and fire resistant. Flaxseeds are typically used in the kitchen. Silk and require the additional use of lining fabric, which protects them from exposure to sunlight.
It is recommended to decorate small rooms with curtains with transverse stripes, which create the effect of visually expanding the space. The vertical pattern helps to “raise” the ceiling. Windows in a dimly lit room can be curtained with a curtain made of loose fabric through which light penetrates. For a small room, it is recommended to use tulle with a lambrequin, which can be straight or cut in the shape of an arch.
When buying canvas for window decoration, it is important to correctly calculate the required amount of material and take into account sanitary and hygienic standards to ensure complete heat transfer. Textiles on the windows add sophistication and individuality to each home and help create coziness.
Attaching curtains
Eyelets are rings made of metal or plastic through which curtains are attached to the curtain rod. To sew tulle on eyelets, you need to know that they can be matched to the color of the fabric. They are produced in different diameters and there are various options for attaching them to the cornice. The tulle attached to the eyelets creates a natural drapery, emphasizing the beauty of the texture of the material. The mount easily slides along the cornice and fits perfectly with a variety of drapes and curtains. The tulle on the eyelets can be gathered into even folds equally spaced from each other. The condition for using eyelets is a tubular cornice with the same color scheme as them.
To secure the tulle on the loops, it is enough to sew large loops of fabric at the top of the product, which harmoniously combines with the main fabric. The distance between the loops should be twice their width and be 10-15 cm. Such a curtain can be attached to any cornice.
Fastening curtains with rings differs from eyelets in that the rings are installed on the outer part of the curtain. The advantage of such fastening is strength, wear resistance, and the creation of vertical drapery.
How to decorate the interior and choose and fix the fabric on the windows correctly? A variety of options for combining different types of tulle with thick fabric drapes and curtains allow you to creatively approach the creation of a cozy atmosphere in the home.
Depending on the need, the selected material for window and door openings can emphasize the advantages, hide the shortcomings of the room, protect from sunlight or ensure their entry, create shade and excellent air convection.
Recommendations for caring for tulle
Such fabrics are easy to care for. For a long period of operation and preservation of the original appearance, you should follow some care rules:
- Follow the care instructions if you purchase a finished product.
- Wash when soiled, after removing dust.
- When washing, use water at a temperature of forty degrees and use the delicate mode of the washing machine without using the spin function.
- After washing, the wet tulle is hung on the window to dry completely.
- For bleaching, use regular table salt. The soaking solution is prepared at the rate of 1 tablespoon of salt per 3 liters of water and leave the product in it for 4 hours. After this, rinse and hang on the window.
With sufficient space, the kitchen plays the role of a multifunctional room. You can not only cook food in it, but also receive guests. A properly designed window will create a unique atmosphere of comfort.
