Kitchen curtains
The term "curtain" is traditionally understood as light, thin curtains, sewn from translucent fabric, which is easily draped and lets in air. Among the most popular fabrics are tulle , organza and veil. As for the colors, here the preference is given to light pastel shades: beige, pink, blue, ivory. The design of curtains for the kitchen can be very different - depending on the overall interior of the room. When choosing curtains, however, do not forget about their main purpose: they are needed in order to dissipate color, protect furniture from direct sunlight, and, of course, perform a decorative function.
Varieties
The choice of curtains and curtains for the kitchen today is very wide: in any specialized salon or online store you will be offered a lot of options. Classics are the curtains on rings and loops - they look pretty unpretentious, but nice. If you want to visually change the proportions of the window, making it more elongated or broad, we advise you to look at the curtains with lambrequins - a strip of fabric covering the cornice. Those who want to create a unique interior will surely like the wall curtains - a purely decorative element, which, in turn, perfectly harmonizes with the roller blinds. Adherents of minimalism and hi-tech style will definitely appreciate the curtains-panels for the kitchen - the cloths fixed on the multiband cornice. They are functional and do not require special care. Choose the color that is closest to the color of the wallpaper, and you will see how the space expands. If you are a happy owner of a spacious kitchen, play on the contrasts: having shown a little imagination, you can achieve amazing results.
Features of decor
As already noted above, when choosing curtains, you should be guided by the size of the room and the location of the window. For example, curtains for a kitchen with a balcony should not prevent the opening and closing of the balcony door and interfere with your movements. The ideal option in this case will be two curtains: one short - for the window, and one long - for the doorway. But curtains for a small kitchen is better to take medium length. Let them be bright, without unnecessary decorative elements. All kinds of shuttlecocks, draperies and drawings will reduce the already small area, but light translucent fabric, on the contrary, will create the effect of airiness and spaciousness.
Requirements
The kitchen in some sense is an area of high risk: splashing fat from the pan, children who are trying to steal a furtive brush on the curtains, dust from the window, food smells. Therefore, preference is best given to the curtains, which are easily and quickly erased, but do not burn out. By the way, for the same reasons it is recommended to abandon the white color: from frequent washing it will quickly lose its dazzle and will look sloppy. Unbeatable options are peach and cream; according to experts, the most fashionable shades in this season will be lilac and mint.
Timely and regular care of the curtains will prolong their life, and you will be made the mistress of an impeccable kitchen, on which it is so nice to get together with the whole family at dinner or alone to have a cup of coffee by the open window.
