Choosing the right curtains in the living room with a balcony door can be a challenge, because if you pick the wrong type or the wrong color, you can spoil the entire interior of the room, while the curtains selected correctly will give the look of your living room a complete and refined look.
If you need curtains for a window with a balcony in the living room, but you are not sure which to choose, here are some tips to help you decide.
What material for curtains to choose?
To date, there is a huge variety of fabrics for curtains and their various combinations, but for a window with a balcony that usually passes a lot of light, it's best to choose ones that will not burn out. Therefore, do not recommend choosing too brightly colored curtains, as well as curtains made of silk fabrics. This is especially important if the living room is located on the sunny side.
At the same time, the ability of a window with a balcony door to let in a lot of light allows you to choose curtain options for the living room from heavy opaque fabrics, unless, of course, it is quite spacious. But for a small living room more suitable curtains of light, discreet, translucent fabrics.
And of course, the design of curtains for the living room should match its interior and harmonize with it in color. To do this, you can choose a material in the tone of other objects in the interior, for example, decorative cushions on the couch. If you select the curtains under the color of the wallpaper, it is better if they are on a tone darker than the walls.
How to choose the size of the curtains in the living room with a balcony door?
The length of the curtains plays an important role. Curtains that only lightly touch the floor or do not reach it for a couple of centimeters will give the living room with a balcony a more classic, austere look, and are recommended if you are going to open and close them regularly. They will not collect dust from the floor, and you do not have to fold each time on the floor.
Curtains falling to the floor, look exquisitely, but less practical for the living room with a balcony door to open which curtains need to be moved. Alternatively, you can make them not solid in width, but consisting of several separate strips, so it will be easier if necessary to open the balcony door. Or hang a single curtain with tulle and fix it with a pick-up - this design will give the living room a more elegant, romantic look. In addition, pick-ups are convenient - they help to easily control the degree of illumination of the living room and they can be fixed in the desired position, which is really convenient for the balcony door.
The width of the curtains depends on their main purpose - decorative or practical, and what kind of appearance of the living room you want to achieve. If you plan to keep curtains closed, then, to make them look elegant and beautifully draped, choose a width of two or even two and a half times the width of the window. If you are not going to close them, but only use them as a window frame with a balcony, the half-width of the window is more than enough. On the French balcony look good curtains "hourglass".
Also think over the fasteners. For balcony doors it is better to choose curtains on eyelets or rings - so they will be easier to move.
