With lambrequins
If we talk about stereotypes in the classical style, then first of all curtains with lambrequins come to mind.
It is beautiful and elegant, but will look over the top in a small kitchen. Interesting fact: modern lambrequins are not always made of fabric. Do you like this option? Thin plastic looks like the bright accent that rooms sometimes literally need.
In a more traditional sense, it is the draping of fabric across the top of the curtain. We recommend not to get carried away with complex options. It's better to choose something more elegant, like this one.
An interesting choice is bright translucent curtains with a lambrequin. If your entire kitchen is done in pastel colors, why not add some color this way?
How to combine correctly
The combination of light, translucent fabric and long curtains appeared a long time ago, and nothing better has been invented since then. Both layers should transmit enough light, so you should not give preference to overly heavy textiles. The density of the curtains is also important when choosing, because the kitchen, like any other room, quickly fills with dust.
It is contraindicated to combine long curtains if there is a table or kitchen set nearby.
For many years, the color scheme of kitchen tulle has gravitated towards light, pastel colors.
Many housewives to this day refuse additional curtains and leave only tulle on the windows. This option is suitable for a small kitchen; it will significantly expand the space. Photos of new curtains for the kitchen from trending publications offer three main options:
- Crossing (when two curtains are thrown over each other).
- Throw over (one of the curtains is thrown over the cornice, the second hangs freely).
- The classic version (when both curtains cover the window).
Hourglass
The design of the classic tulle has also undergone changes. If last year designers suggested simply hanging them, forming folds, then in the photo of curtains for the kitchen in 2022, plain tulle is gathered with clips in the middle to form an hourglass silhouette.
In order for the composition to look harmonious, the tulle above the large window should consist of two canvases. Each of them should be loose enough to form beautiful folds, both straight and tied.
Asymmetry in design
Asymmetrical curtains can be an assistant in the design of a small kitchen or in the design of a balcony block. For example, when you need to open a window but hide the door, a combination of Roman blinds and short curtains or drapes on one side is suitable. Tacks collect one of the curtains to one side.
This technique is limited by stylistic boundaries: asymmetry gives the interior softer, smoother and oval shapes. This is typical for classics or Provence, but is not suitable for most modern trends - high-tech, loft, scandi, etc.
Mixing prints
Now you can and should mix prints. Fabric with different patterns can be used both in the design of two windows, and in the color of two curtains for one window. For example, you can hang a Roman lampshade with a pattern directly on the window and complement the composition with an ultra-short decorative curtain with a different print.
Since it’s easy to go overboard with colors and patterns, you need to be especially careful when choosing fabrics. They must somehow overlap each other (in tone, in the theme of the motif, in its size).
Blinds
Another trendy design for window openings is blinds. You can safely hang various models in the kitchen, because it is always fashionable. Blinds are distinguished not only by the vertical and horizontal arrangement of the panels, but also by new design technologies.
Advantages:
- Compactness, the ability to replace heavy curtains.
- They look elegant and modern. Various photo printing options are available.
- Use of metal or plastic.
- It is possible to order products with a pattern or complement the plain version with bright curtains.
- Practicality, ease of cleaning, long service life, functionality.
Striped tulle
Horizontal stripes and tulle have come into fashion. In 2021, designers are promoting thin fabric with a combination of two textures into fashion. In plain tulle, almost transparent shiny lines alternate with slightly denser opaque lines.
This technique looks best on classic white tulle and adds modernity to a traditional interior. However, you can always experiment with color and choose a striped fabric in a color that will complement your kitchen.
Curtains for the dining area or dining room kitchen - living room
When planning a kitchen-living room, when the dining table is located next to the window, use light curtains that let in maximum light, for example, tulle. It is often combined with curtains. In this way, you can visually unite spaces by hanging the same curtains in the recreation area - this way the interior will be more harmonious.
A combination of thick curtains with transparent tulle
In a dining space, color and its effect on people are of great importance:
- red, orange, light brown increase the feeling of hunger;
- blue, turquoise, light blue - on the contrary, suppress it;
- yellow – has a satisfactory effect.
Kiseya
If you want to create a relaxed and airy atmosphere, consider muslin curtains. This material allows you to obtain light and weightless models of any configuration and size. They are easy to combine with curtains and threads of other colors. This option is purely decorative.
A translucent canvas will not be able to protect the kitchen from the penetration of sunlight and prying eyes. If your apartment is located on the sunny side, on the ground floor of a building or next to other high-rise buildings, in addition to shading, you will have to use dense options or shutters.
They fit especially harmoniously into small rooms, creating a unity of interior, visually raising the ceilings, filling the room with air and light. Having made your choice, pay due attention to the choice of colors, furniture, and design.
A profitable solution is obtained by combining materials of different colors. Kisey is a canvas that allows you to unleash all your creative and design abilities, bringing to life real masterpieces with a bright personality.
Royal luxury
To make the interior of a classic kitchen more rich and lush, pleated curtains, for example, in the French or Austrian style made of thick fabric, look great. The only drawback of rich theatrical curtains for the kitchen is their impracticality.
Alternatively, you can use these curtains, but in a very short version. They can be up to 50 cm high. This will enrich your interior and prevent the curtains from getting dirty. It is better to choose a golden color, but in a calm tone.
Roller blinds
This type of curtain has been very popular in small kitchens for several years now. It is very compact, while doing an excellent job of dispersing light and providing little sound insulation.
The design of kitchen roller curtains can be completely different. But given the small space, it is best to use plain models in light shades. They will highlight the strengths of the room, while visually expanding it.
The main advantage of roller blinds is that they are quite easy to clean. As a rule, they are made of dense material that just needs to be wiped with a damp cloth.
Types of curtains in the kitchen
Regardless of the length and type of fabric, the following types of curtains will look advantageous in the kitchen:
Rolled
Roller blinds very often do not serve a decorative function, although sometimes brightly colored or printed fabrics can stand out in the interior. It's best to use them as a background.
Curtains or curtains in combination with roller blinds can play a decorative role.
Curtains can serve as an alternative to a “bare” window without curtains, when it is impossible to refuse curtains for various reasons: bright light during the day or the looks of passers-by. For ascetic interiors in the spirit of minimalism, Scandinavian style or high-tech style, this style is one of the most successful solutions.
Scallop folds
Short tulle curtains can not only be secured to a curtain rod (using rings with hooks or eyelets), but you can also use curtain tape to create small projections.
This is usually used for long tulle in the living room. The kitchen version is distinguished by very frequent folds, nothing should sag, the curtain should be strictly equal in width to the window opening.
Roman curtains
Roman blinds are still in fashion. However, this year they have undergone some changes. Among the new curtains for the kitchen in 2021, there are wide options. If previously there was a curtain hanging on each of the kitchen windows, now a wide curtain can be attached not above the window, but above the window opening.
This technique will help combine two adjacent windows and the wall between them into one object. This will visually enlarge the window and make the kitchen more spacious.
Blinds
For interiors in the minimalist style, horizontal curtains remain relevant.
- Such curtains have minor drawbacks: the blinds are inconvenient to wash, they make noise when ventilating the room, plastic and metal slats often break and become unusable.
- But there are also a lot of advantages: you can hang curtains on a window of any configuration, taking the width of the slats, or even install them directly on the frame; horizontal lines of slats will visually expand the room; Easy to adjust the intensity of sunlight.
- Combining this trend with the trend towards eco-friendliness, designers are choosing curtains made of wood, bamboo, materials combined with textured wide slats.
Plastic options with opaque colored elements are allowed. Black, white and emerald shades are relevant.
Japanese panel curtains
The distinctive Japanese style of fabrics is becoming very popular in modern spaces. The peculiarity of these curtains is the movement of sliding fabric panels along guides, similar to the principle of a wardrobe compartment. This is an excellent option for rooms with a balcony door or large windows, where several structures can be installed. There are models of such curtains equipped with a remote control, which is especially important in modern “technological” interiors and is really convenient. The napkins do not require careful care: periodic wet cleaning is enough for them. Curtains can be used over a large area as a screen separating the cooking area from the dining area.
Curtains-cafe
Coffee curtains look quite beautiful and cozy on the kitchen window, which perfectly support any rustic style, as well as shabby chic, retro, Scandinavian and other heights (most often in the center of the window).
It’s not difficult to sew such curtains for the kitchen yourself, since they have a fairly simple cut and there are many ways to decorate, you just need to use your imagination and choose decorations that will match the style: lace, bows, embroidery, knitwear details, etc. use checkered fabric, for Provence - a floral print, and the Slavic direction is emphasized by lace fabrics or polka dots.
Fabric curtains with eyelets
Eyelets are special rings of relatively large diameter, sewn into the top of the curtain fabric. Thanks to them, the curtains slide easily and simply along the round frame. Another advantage is the uniform folds that are created due to the closure of the eyelets, while the shine of the drapery depends on the diameter of the eyelets and the frequency of their placement. The density of the fabric also plays an important role: the thinner it is, the more folds you will get, and to create large waves you need to choose denser fabrics.
Curtains with eyelets can be removed and put on easily and quickly - an important advantage for fabrics that require periodic washing. It is also worth noting that such an installation can be an excellent option for an interior in the style of minimalism, hi-tech, modern, loft.
French
Here is a recognized classic, the embodiment of luxury, a shining example of respectability and solidity. They give the room aristocracy, sophistication, and create a warm and cozy atmosphere of comfort and chic.
Pay attention to them if your interior is made in one of the classic styles. The vertical folds will be illuminated in an original way by the sun's rays playing and shimmering in them.
They look no less impressive under artificial lighting. For sewing, you can use both classic heavy portrait fabrics and light tulle curtains.
It is already clear from the description that they are intended exclusively for spacious kitchens with high ceilings. This option is undesirable for those whose stove is located in close proximity to the window.
Curtains-arches and lambrequins
An arched curtain is a fabric with a short arched central part and long side plumbs. It is convenient, does not interfere with the penetration of light and offers free access to the windowsill, on which you can even place blooming lush flower pots. However, such designs do not hide communications and do not “fit” into minimalist styles, which is important to consider. It is best to install them together with roller blinds or roller shutters, as they do not provide a high-quality barrier effect on their own. These curtains are available straight or pleated.
Another simplified option is lambrequins, which are completely short types of curtains. Designed more for decoration than as a screen, they are very suitable for narrow kitchens.
Curtains
Curtains are not appropriate in a small kitchen, but in a spacious kitchen-dining room, kitchen-living room or office they may be needed both for decorative purposes and to completely darken the seating area.
Today, curtains without regular tulle are popular. By themselves, like lambrequins, they do their role perfectly.

Popular fabrics
Many different types of fabrics are used to make curtains, but not all are suitable for the kitchen. Kitchen curtains need to be washed more often, so ideally the material should be durable enough to withstand multiple washes.
If the curtains are located in close proximity to the work area and stove, then the fabric should have dirt-repellent properties and low hygroscopicity. It is from this material that most roller blinds and Roman blinds are made - namely, polyester.

Polyester is a durable, synthetic fabric that is ideal for sewing Roman blinds and roller blinds, as it holds its shape well, does not absorb fat and moisture well, and does not fade. Curtains made of polyester with special impregnations can be wiped with a damp cloth.
To decorate a window in the kitchen-living room that is not adjacent to the hob, you can choose lighter and airier fabrics.
Linen curtains in the kitchen
A short guide to choosing fabric depending on the interior style is given in the table below.
Classic | Provence and country | Modern |
For curtains: organza, tulle, voile, taffeta For curtains: jacquard, tapestry, velvet, velor, chenille, brocade | For curtains: linen, cotton, chintz For curtains: For curtains: tapestry, matting | For curtains: linen, polycotton, polyester, acrylic For curtains: blackout, matting |
Despite the fashion for using natural fabrics, one cannot completely abandon synthetics, since it is synthetic fiber that gives the material the required strength and wear resistance so that the curtains can withstand many washes and maintain a presentable appearance for as long as possible. Natural cotton fades quickly and quickly becomes unusable after repeated washings, but polycotton is an excellent alternative to its natural counterpart. Thanks to the addition of polyester, the fabric wrinkles less, does not shrink and becomes more durable.
Expert advice
Elena Vasilyeva
interior designer
A fabric such as blackout, which is used for sewing curtains, Roman and roller blinds, and pleated curtains in different styles, deserves special attention. Thanks to the special weave of the threads, the fabric completely blocks light. Blackout can imitate the texture of linen, cotton and other fabrics, while it is devoid of many of the disadvantages of natural analogues.

Curtains in the kitchen: the main principles of choice
Accent option in the interior
If you like contrasting elements, feel free to experiment! But remember that accent details are also best emphasized with the help of color companions in the decor. This could be a vase, plates to combine with bright fabric, a watch or, for example, a tablecloth.
Fabrics add character to the calm palette of the room. The contrasting turquoise color can easily be replaced with another bright tone when seasonal changes are desired in the apartment.
When choosing kitchen fabrics, do not forget that you will have to wash them often. Therefore, you should purchase a durable material that dries quickly.
Short or long
In most cases, short curtains are the preferred option for the kitchen. They are practical, safe in the immediate vicinity of the stove and are the only possible solution when there is a work surface or dining area under the window.
Short curtains can be light, translucent or thick, blocking all the light. Short curtains made of tulle or thin cotton are suitable for interiors in a romantic or rustic style: country, Provencal, shabby chic, etc.
What is shabby chic and how to apply it in the kitchen, you will learn from our article.
Despite the practicality of short curtains, there are times when it is better to give preference to long curtains and curtains. We will look at these cases in detail below.
- If the kitchen is combined with the living room or dining room. To decorate windows in the living room or dining area, it is better to choose curtains. They can be combined with curtains, roller blinds or Roman blinds.
- If you need to hide an ugly plastic balcony door.
Roman curtains
Roman blinds are similar to blinds: a cord is used to lift them. Advantages: versatility, practicality, moisture resistance, durability, ease of use.
This version of window design is made of rigid material. The design solution can be selected to suit any style direction.
How to choose curtains for the kitchen in different styles
When planning to buy curtains for the kitchen in 2022, it is important to pay attention not only to current trends, but also to the style of the room. Agree that in a room, for example, made in high-tech style, long and light curtains with flowers are not entirely appropriate. How to choose the right window design with curtains for each individual style? Let's take a closer look.
Modern style
For a kitchen designed in modern style, you should choose simpler, laconic models of kitchen curtains. Fabric with a slight sheen will look great. Roman or Japanese shades and blinds are especially suitable for modern kitchens.
Country style
For country-style kitchens, textiles, especially curtains, are one of the most important decorative elements. They will set the style for the entire room. Country music is a bit like Provence. He also gravitates toward rustic comfort. At the same time, the differences are still visible.
Pay attention to the bright curtains. Under no circumstances should you choose a monochrome option - the fabrics must have a pattern. Most often in a country style kitchen, striped curtains. Drawings on rural themes (farms) are also relevant. For example, kitchen curtains with ears, apples, and cherries depicted on them will add special coziness.
Minimalism
It shares several similarities with the previous interior style. A kitchen designed in a minimalist style is also distinguished by the almost complete absence of decorative elements and maximum free space.
To decorate windows, it is better to choose thin tulle, roller blinds or blinds. Minimalism requires a lot of light in the room. Therefore, if the window in the kitchen is small, it is better to opt for transparent fabrics.
Provence
One of the most popular cooking styles. It combines functionality and the cozy atmosphere of small French towns. Kitchen curtains in the Provence style should be made in pastel colors. Pay attention to models with a floral pattern. It is also important to avoid heavy draperies and additional details.
Curtains in “eco-style”
Let's focus on the two most popular styles of this season, ecological and “rustic” with an atmosphere: Provence and Country.
For kitchen curtains in the Provence style, you can choose a plain light-colored fabric and decorate it with ruffles and tie clips with patterns that are in harmony with the rest of the room decor.
Combine curtains, various kitchen utensils (for example, a cutting board and a warm trivet) with an ornament, add a couple of similar decorative items on the wall, make good coffee, put croissants in the oven and voila - you have already created a cozy French country atmosphere in your kitchen.
Traditional prints for this style are light floral patterns, two-tone Vichy checks or multi-colored (tartan) checks).
Country music is a little trickier, as it's an umbrella name for a number of distinct "country-inspired" styles, and first, you'll need to decide what kind of country flavor you want to recreate in your kitchen. A Ukrainian cabin, an American ranch, a Swiss chalet, or a Mexican-style farmhouse would all be called a “village.”
Without exception, all country-style interiors have one thing in common - fabrics should be made only from natural fibers, without the addition of synthetic materials. And in the color scheme it is better to give preference to calm, thick and warm natural shades: brown, green, yellow and so on
High-tech style
A modern style of interior decoration, characterized by a minimal number of decorative elements. One of the few styles in which it is not at all necessary to decorate the windows with tulle or curtains. At the same time, if you decide to add textiles, choose transparent lightweight fabrics or plain curtains. No motifs or decorative elements.
Popular colors of kitchen curtains
The shade of the curtains also matters. Especially when it comes to the kitchen. Numerous studies have shown that there are colors that can induce or, conversely, suppress appetite. The first place is in the kitchen, but the second should be strictly avoided. Let's figure out which curtain colors are most relevant this year.
Yellow shades
When creating an interior, designers divide all shades into two categories: cold and warm. The first ones are ideal if the kitchen is made in gray, white, black or blue. The second type of curtain coloring is especially relevant if the trim and furniture fronts in the kitchen are beige, yellow or orange.
One of the most popular colors for kitchen curtains is yellow. A sunny and cheerful shade improves your mood. You can choose either a lighter option (if you want the curtains to become the accent of the room) or more muted pastel colors.
Choosing colors for curtains
When choosing from a color palette of curtains for the kitchen, you need to take into account a number of nuances, such as the size of the room, the general style of the interior, the side of the world than the face of the windows. With the help of color correction, you can visually distract attention from existing shortcomings, and it is also useful to emphasize the advantages of the kitchen.
Green curtains
Green curtains for the kitchen bring a cheerful and cheerful mood in the morning and peace in the evening.
Nature abounds in greenery: from fresh sea waves to lush conifers:
- Garden greenery will pair well with floral designs or a rustic plaid style;
- Light green shades are ideal for creating an accent in a neutral room;
- Turquoise will look good in bright, well-lit kitchens;
- The mint shade on the curtains will perfectly dilute the chrome and high-tech metallic;
- Slate green is a comfort factor in a kitchen with pine cabinets.
Orange curtains
Orange curtains for the kitchen are the key to a constant good mood. The combination of orange and olive or light green has become an absolute hit of our time. Orange curtains will suit a kitchen of any shade, but you will need to support them with additional accents: upholstery on upholstered furniture, a kitchen apron of the same color or a bright lampshade.
In which kitchens will orange curtains look good?
- In the kitchen, brown furniture is a traditional combination in an oriental style;
- White furniture is a wonderful palette for modern style;
- Purple or black is a bold combination for avant-garde styles;
- With gray - an excellent harmonious combination.
Red curtains
Red curtains in the kitchen can never play the role of neutral wallpaper. They will always be bright and vibrant. Red curtains will help to embody the most daring ideas in any style in the kitchen, especially considering the wide range of shades.
Red curtains look beautiful in combination with black, but this design is not suitable for everyone due to some aggression. In a kitchen with white furniture, they will become an indicator of good taste. They will fit well into cozy Provence (red curtains with white polka dots) and modern classics. In high-tech they will become just a spot of color that lacks harmony.
Gray curtains
We can safely say that gray color in the interior has recently become a trend for designers. This also applies to gray curtains. If you want to meet modern trends in kitchen interiors by purchasing gray wallpaper, be sure to combine it with gray curtains. To create the perfect high-tech look, curtains should be a rich metallic color and a deeper background tone.
Curtains with flowers
Floral curtains have been the preferred choice for kitchens for centuries. They create a cozy atmosphere and bring individuality to the interior.
According to the unspoken style requirements, there are several formats of floral prints, characteristic of different designs:
- Country music uses small, discreet flowers that pair well with wood furniture;
- Flowers in pastel colors suit English and Victorian styles;
- In the classic style, prints with large flowers are common;
- In modern styles, the emphasis is on a very large flower applied to a couple of canvases.
If the owners of the kitchen have a negative attitude towards diversity, then choose curtains decorated with neutral floral patterns: embroidered or cut out.
Brown curtains
There are so many shades of brown in nature - chocolate, coffee, cola brown and all shades of wood. Curtains in coffee, chocolate, sand or classic brown colors blend harmoniously with wooden furniture and floors. Dark brown classic will give the kitchen a feeling of luxury.
In the kitchen, a deep brown color will harmonize perfectly with the light background of the decoration. For a white kitchen, soft coffee and warm coffee tones will be an exquisite choice. In a beige kitchen, it is best to complement brown curtains of a similar color with an apron. Brown bamboo roller shutters will look good in eco- and rustic styles.
Purple curtains
Purple is a very difficult color for the kitchen, although some psychologists believe that it completely suppresses appetite, which can be useful for people who are prone to obesity. However, people who know how to capture the alluring tones of wine and grapes will definitely love it. For modern kitchens, you can choose curtains in light purple shades, especially since they go well with fashionable gray.
Beige curtains
Beige curtains will create a feeling of warmth, peace and closeness to nature in the kitchen. Beige curtains will look good in a brown, white, blue kitchen. Beige curtains can be used to add bright decor to your kitchen.
By choosing beige curtains, you can safely experiment with colors in the kitchen. For example, choose a kitchen unit with a brighter front - fresh green or yellow, dark red and blue. For those who like contrasting combinations, they will create the desired effect in a kitchen with black furniture.
Choice of color and pattern
Curtains can either enliven a monochrome and boring interior or ruin the overall impression. Therefore, it is important to guess not only with the style, but also with the color scheme, design or pattern. We will discuss in detail below what to combine textiles with and when you can use curtains as an accent.
To match the furniture
To establish color balance in the interior, textiles can be combined with furniture. For example, with the upholstery of kitchen chairs, armchairs or sofas in the kitchen-living room, or with the facades of the furniture.
You should not choose curtains that match the color of the furniture. Select one thing. If the curtains act as a color addition rather than an accent, then let them be a little paler.
To combine textiles with furniture in the overall design, choose curtains with an unobtrusive pattern with a single splash of color.
To match the walls
If the interior is already saturated with bright and active elements, then colored curtains in a rich shade will be superfluous.
In this case, it is better to choose neutral options to match the walls, which will blend into the overall design.
As an accent
Bright curtains or curtains with an active print will set the mood for a monochrome interior.
To ensure that textiles fit organically into the overall decor, support the pattern or color with other small details in small quantities - pillows on chairs, pillowcases and other decor.
Bright curtains in the kitchen without upper cabinets.
You can choose an existing color in the interior as an accent color and enhance its richness in the curtains.
A pattern or design can “collect” the entire color scheme of the interior and combine its multi-colored elements, while the print itself will make the decor more interesting. In other items, you can completely repeat the pattern or only individual motifs.
Beautiful curtains with your own hands - easy!
Lovers of handicrafts will not find it difficult to beautifully decorate a window in the kitchen on their own, without resorting to the help of designers and decorators. If you have a sewing machine and a great desire, then sewing a beautiful curtain of the pattern you need will not be difficult.
First of all, you need to do some calculations:
- Measure the distance from the curtain rod to the desired curtain length. Add 6 cm for the bottom edge and 3 cm for the top edge. The final length of fabric needed for the curtain.
- Measure the length of the cornice, multiply by one and a half and add 4 centimeters to the hem on the sides. This will be the width of fabric required for a standard curtain. If you want to make the drapery more expressive, multiply the length of the cornice by 2.
The next step is to purchase a piece of fabric. Tulle, organza and other synthetic materials are suitable for making curtains, but it is preferable to choose natural materials such as linen and cotton. Some store chains also offer interior fabrics: these fabrics are made from natural fibers and impregnated with special dirt- and dust-repellent agents. They are fade resistant, wrinkle resistant and easy to wash. When choosing a color, remember that it should be in harmony in color and style with the design of the kitchen.
Uncover
The simplest curtain model is one or two rectangles. If you have a cotton blend or cotton fabric, it is best to dampen and iron it before opening it. Measure the required hem length equal to the height of the curtain plus seam allowances. Along the width of the cut, pull out one or two strands that will mark the cut line. Pull out the threads instead of the proposed cuff. This is an ideal marking for future curtains.
Sewing
First, finish the top edge of the curtain: fold the top edge, baste it, and then attach the curtain tape. It is best to take a stitch with a length of 4 to 6 mm. Fold and finish the side cuts, hiding the edges inward from the curtain tape.
Attention! When threading the edges of the tape, make sure that the ends of the cables are accessible! When the curtain is ready, by pulling these cords you can easily roll it to the desired width.
The next step is to fold and finish the bottom of the curtain. Fasten all the threads and iron the finished product. Attach a beautiful new curtain to the frame using special hooks.
Fashion trends in curtain design
Fashion for interiors keeps pace with fashion for textiles. Interior exhibitions and works by famous designers set trends that are later reflected in the showrooms' offer. Let's see what current ideas have replaced outdated solutions.
- Matte
One should distinguish between the noble and unobtrusive shine of rich and dense curtain fabrics (satin, velor, etc.) and cheap, thin curtains. Tulle that glares in the sun will make the interior look cheaper.
- Conciseness
Better bright and monochromatic than colorful with a pattern. Prints are difficult to work with, and in such a small space as a kitchen, there is always a risk of overloading the interior with a complex pattern or design.
- Carelessness, eclecticism and bold combinations
Curtains can match the color of furniture or decor, but an exact match of shades is no longer necessary. You can and should play with different intensities.
- Current fabrics : for curtains - linen and cotton, for curtains - velvet, velor, satin.
- Roll and Roman - relevant for all times. From a fashion point of view, these are perhaps the most win-win and “eternal” styles. Only the fashion for colors and patterns can change.
The current colors and shades of 2022 are earthy, amber-orange, classic blue, the whole palette of sand shades, yellow-green, gray-green, peach, olive, red clay color.
