Types of curtains that look great in black
Thread curtains are at the peak of popularity today. They look more lightweight, unlike bulky curtains. This is especially true for decorating windows in dark and black tones.
Thread curtains can resemble a curtain if they are made in light colors, but in black they are perceived as full-fledged curtains that cover the windows from prying eyes and bright sun.
A solution for every room
Common areas. Black curtains here must be combined with light tones of the walls. The only exception - one dark wall surface - can only be used in large rooms.
Bedroom. An atmosphere of twilight in the bedroom is always appropriate, so along with the curtains, the walls, bedspread or other textile elements can be black.
Roller blinds
They are also called roller blinds. The canvas completely covers the glass, preventing sunlight from entering the room. This option is good for large windows in a spacious room located on the south side of a house or apartment. When the window is opened, the canvas is wound onto a roller.
It is easy to control the curtains using a chain or electric drive and remote control. Roller curtains can be used as independent drapery or combined with light tulle or curtains made of lightweight natural fabric.
With upholstered furniture
Curtains for the living room are often matched to the color of the upholstered furniture. They usually work with thick textiles (drapes, lambrequins), combining them with the upholstery of sofas and armchairs, as well as repeating shades and prints in decorative pillows.
You should not focus on upholstered furniture if it is upholstered in fabric with an active geometric or floral pattern. In this case, it is better to choose calm, plain curtains.

- avant-garde, fusion, eclecticism - here the names speak for themselves, it’s just important not to overdo it with a black background... or is that not the main thing?
- hi-tech - a smooth, laconic fabric with inserts of metal threads, and even better - on a mechanized curtain rod.
In fact, this list is conditional, because modern fashion constantly comes up with, and then breaks its own rules. We agree that the use of pure black may be limited.
