Curtains for a bedroom (or other room) with a balcony are an important decorative element. At the same time, it must be combined both with the overall style of the apartment and with the design of the balcony or loggia itself. With the right color, material, and style of curtains, you can achieve the following effects:

Visual expansion of space.
Zoning.
Reliable protection from the sun or unwanted glances.

Classic - curtains are beyond fashion and time

Classic curtains and tulle for the bedroom are the solution of conservatives who are not ready for bold experiments. Decorating a room in a classic style eliminates the need to track fashion trends and seek help from designers to develop individual projects.

Classic curtains have a number of advantages over newer curtain options. One of them is that the products will be relevant for years without requiring changes to the interior. That is why, when choosing combinations of tulle and curtains, you can afford the most practical, textured fabrics with elegant decorative elements that can serve for many years without losing their presentable appearance.

An important point: when decorating a bedroom window with a balcony with classic curtains with tulle, choose the latter of two separate canvases, thus providing free access to the balcony.

Door decoration

Much in the design of a balcony door depends on the following factors:

type of balcony or loggia (open/closed, size, shape of glazing, cladding, insulation);
sizes;
practical zone (office, chill-out, workshop, utility room with drying, ironing board, storage, coffee/tea corner);
level of illumination (cardinal directions of the house, sizes of window and doorways, area of the room, presence of other windows);
apartment design.

Previously, a balcony or loggia was a storage room for many. There were cabinets, cabinets, racks with tools, oversized items, and food preparations. Modern apartments have sufficient space, and new opportunities in the furniture industry make it possible to create many storage spaces in housing of any size, so balconies are gradually regaining their decorative role.

Today, owners of apartments with balconies are setting up mini gardens, workshops, cozy corners for reading and drinking tea.

Choosing a curtain rod

The cornice is the main component in the design of curtains. For a beautiful and attractive appearance of the balcony, this element must be selected based on the following points:

Initially, the height of the ceilings is measured, then the window, and only then the material, style and shade of the curtains are selected;

For simple curtains, a round type of cornice works well;

The use of multi-layer curtains implies the presence of a cornice with several rows. On such a cornice, curtains, tulle and lambrequin should be correctly placed;

The use of aluminum profiles is only permissible for Roman or Japanese blinds;

Do not forget about the color of the cornice; it should be combined with the overall color scheme of the room.

Modern design

Modern design dictates: if you have accent wallpaper or an abundance of decor in the room, then all textiles should be plain and discreet. If on the contrary, then the main color spot can be window curtains. When buying curtains for a bedroom with a window and a balcony door, you need to take into account the design of the balcony itself so that the textiles there match the design of the room.

Curtain for the bedroom: design rules

The legacy of previous years of development of architecture and construction is the balcony door in a residential area. If its location in the kitchen and living room is considered acceptable, then access to the balcony from the bedroom area causes a lot of inconvenience. To brighten up the interior dissonance a little, it is recommended to choose a curtain.

The situation is complicated by the presence of heating radiators under the window unit. Using a long curtain is inappropriate; a roller blind will do. However, it is not cozy and requires a certain style in the interior. Let's consider several criteria and rules for selecting curtains for the bedroom:

Cozy, bright bedroom

Avoid pomp and large volume . If you create airiness in the window area, this will not only visually reduce the size of the bedroom, but will significantly impede movement. Exiting to the balcony will be difficult, which is not recommended. It is better to choose light and thin materials, without the additional use of asymmetrical compositions.
Add practicality . Curtains in the bedroom play not only a decorative role, but are used from a practical point of view. In order for the fabric not to transmit light, it must be dense and dark. To ensure that the product is not subject to frequent contamination, its material must be universal.
Quick release . Curtains located on the balcony door in the bedroom come into contact with the inhabitants of the house much more often than other textile items in the house. Make sure that the material is easy to clean and can be quickly removed from the curtain rod for washing.
Material . The raw materials for making curtains for the balcony door should not be exposed to moisture. The specified place in the apartment is considered vulnerable to the penetration of dampness and air, especially if the balcony is not glazed from the inside.

Advice It is better to avoid bright colors for the bedroom, because this is a place for privacy, relaxation and tranquility. Choose blue, light green, sand, olive, beige colors. It is appropriate to combine several shades at once that will be present in the palette of the bedroom interior.

The best materials to choose from are blinds, thick linen curtains or organza tulle. A combination of several types would also be appropriate - you can hang blinds on the balcony door, on top of which you can place light tulle. A comfortable lambrequin that is not too voluminous will also fit well into a classic bedroom setting.

For ease of use, long curtains can be secured with tiebacks: wide ribbons, strips of fabric, and magnetic tapes.

Japanese curtains will fit well into a bedroom with a large opening.

It is better to avoid bright colors for the bedroom

If the balcony door does not have additional windows, this greatly simplifies the situation. In this case, you can use a thread curtain - muslin. It will not help hide the room from sunlight, but it will look great in the bedroom, creating coziness and romance.

Selection of cornice

The cornice not only holds the textile fabric, but also decorates it. With its help, you can place stylistic accents in the room, emphasize the elegance of the interior, or even “become mischievous” by choosing eye-catching accessories (plugs, curtain rings).

Types of cornices:

By mounting method: ceiling, wall.
By material: wood, plastic, metal.
In appearance: string, profile, baguette, round.
By number of rows: simple and complex.

For the classic version of “curtain + tulle”, either a combination of profile and round (baguette) or a hidden multi-row plastic curtain rod is suitable. When using light tulle, organza, threads as curtains in the bedroom for a window with a balcony door, you can use string or round ones.

Curtain materials

Many people prefer curtains made from practical materials that are easy to wash, dry quickly, do not require ironing and do not electrify. Today there are many ways to impregnate fabrics with different compounds, for example, antistatic agents that prevent dust accumulation.

Many natural fabrics, such as linen, after processing acquire the best properties of synthetic ones: they do not wrinkle and do not fade in the sun.

If you prefer curtains made from natural fabrics, you should remember that cotton and especially silk do not tolerate direct sunlight. Brightly colored curtains made from such fabrics fade and fade relatively quickly.

A very popular material for curtains is taffeta. Previously, it was only natural, but now it is also produced from artificial fibers. This fabric drapes easily and shimmers very beautifully in the sun, and the chameleon taffeta changes color when viewed from different angles.

Today, velvet curtains and drapes are relatively rare. Natural velvet is a very beautiful, but heavy and capricious material; curtains made from it are difficult to keep clean. Velvet made from mixed fibers is more accessible: polyester, acetate, and nylon are added to the fabric. It is no less beautiful than natural. Rich, rich shades of velvet curtains harmonize well with gold or silver tiebacks.

If there are people in the family who are hypersensitive to dust or small children, it is better to choose natural fabrics for curtains. Of synthetic or mixed materials, give preference to the most environmentally friendly and non-allergenic ones. Thus, viscose is an artificial fabric that is easiest to clean, durable and fire-resistant.

Most modern curtain fabrics do not require special care. It is enough to clean them with a vacuum cleaner using special attachments.

It is important not only the quality of the curtain fabric itself, but also the durability of the colors and patterns. A good dye does not fade or fade after washing.

You should especially carefully choose fabric for a children's room. Pay attention to its strength, convenience, and fire safety.

The noise level when opening and closing curtains is also important. Children and elderly people, and anyone who is tired and wants to rest, needs silence.

Curtains on fabric hinges move almost silently along smooth wooden or polished metal curtain rods.

Combination of tulle and curtain

This is a classic combination that allows, on the one hand, to achieve complete darkness and privacy, and on the other, to be able to fill a room with a balcony or loggia with light and air due to delicate, translucent tulle.

The main thing: if you have complex curtain fabric with a printed pattern, scallops, patterns or tints, then plain tulle without a pattern is preferable. In the case of a simpler option (plain linen, cotton, viscose), the scope of imagination in choosing tulle for the bedroom is practically unlimited.

Types of curtains for convenient access to the balcony

Different curtains are used for the balcony door with a window. Their use depends on the size of the room, its purpose, and the location of the sun.

Blinds

Suitable for small rooms. What are they:

horizontal;
vertical;
roll

The horizontal ones appeared first. They are made of plastic or metal. Made from strips connected with rope. Combine with transparent materials. Now they are attached from the inside, bringing the mechanism out.

Vertical ones turn in the other direction, being fixed to the ceiling or wall cornice. They come in lengths up to the floor or window sill; you can combine these options.

Vertical blinds replace fabric products; horizontal ones are not suitable for this. Vertical ones come in various colors and are made of thick polyester.

Rolled ones are attached to the window sash. To select them you need to know the exact parameters. When assembled, they are wound onto a roller and, when disassembled, close the window. The mechanism is a chain. Roller blinds are often complemented with regular curtains.

Roman

Not as discreet as blinds, they are used independently. For the balcony, Roman blinds are needed in different lengths - for the window and for the door. They are raised using a remote control or manually. They have special strips sewn into them to gather the fabric into beautiful folds.

Positive sides:

repel dirt;
easy to install;
strong mechanism;
many styles and colors.

The main disadvantage is that before going to the balcony, the textiles at the exit must be lifted up. You won't be able to turn it aside.

Classic straight

Suitable for bedrooms or living rooms, especially if the door is noticeably larger than the window. Such curtains and tulle in a room with a balcony will visually restore balance.

Ribbons add variety to the decor, and magnetic tie-backs simplify it. The fabric must be impermeable if hung in the bedroom. For large bedrooms, velvet, velor, and jacquard are suitable.

Kiseya

When choosing curtains for a small bedroom, living room or kitchen with a French window or balcony, you can use muslin. These are thread curtains that allow you to divide the space, slightly shade the room, but at the same time not overload the interior with excessive decor. You can use it as a self-sufficient element or as a replacement for tulle.

Roman curtains

Unlike blinds, Roman blinds are not so laconic, so they can be used as an independent element, without traditional textile curtains. Thanks to stiffening ribs (thin strips sewn into the fabric), they are assembled into horizontal folds of an original shape, and are attractive from a design point of view. Raising and lowering the curtains is done manually or using the control panel.

Advantages of Roman blinds:

Variety of colors and models;
Easy to install;
Reliability of the control mechanism;
Resistant to stains.

When decorating the exit to the balcony with Roman blinds, two canvases are used - one for the window and the second for the door. The disadvantage of Roman blinds is that they cannot be tilted to the side to look out the window, and you can also open the door to the balcony only after the curtain has been assembled, otherwise it will get in the way.

Japanese curtains

A good option for curtains for a bedroom with one or two windows and a balcony door would be Japanese ones. These are small straight sheets of translucent or opaque fabric, thanks to which you can achieve various effects. The balcony door opens easily, because you don’t need to constantly move aside massive curtains.

Decorating the hall with curtains

In typical apartment layouts, access to the balcony is in most cases located in the living room. The architects decided to make a balcony here because of the large width of the room. Many people complain that it is difficult to arrange a room with such an opening, but the recommendations will help to avoid difficulties.

It is quite difficult to match a balcony door with a window opening, but it is doable. It is enough to wisely choose the color, material and style that will optimally fit into the living room. Before choosing, you should measure all the necessary indicators in advance. Measure the width of the window opening, the height of the balcony door and decide where the curtain will be fixed: on the wall or in the opening itself.

This option protects the room well from the sun.

When choosing curtains for a room with a balcony door, pay attention to the following criteria:

Room illumination . With a glazed balcony, there is no need to additionally protect the living room space from sunlight. In this case, light colors made from loose material will work well. If the balcony is not glazed, there is a risk of cold air letting in, and the windows are too large - choose thick fabric that will not allow prying eyes to pass through.
Freedom of movement near the window . The balcony is considered a kind of place for storing a large number of items in the owner’s part of the apartment, so access to it should be free. If people constantly go out to smoke on the balcony, and the husband has set up his own workshop there, think in advance about the type of curtain that will not impede movement.

Art Nouveau style

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the shape of the balcony door: if it is a round door, you will have to tinker with the choice. It is appropriate to decorate such openings with a curtain made of light fabric reaching the floor, and decorate the side space on both sides with additional decorations. Some owners of such original openings leave them without curtains, increasing the permeability of light in the room.

For a small living room, you should not buy curtains in black, brown, marsh and burgundy colors - such a palette will visually make the room even smaller.

Bedroom in pale pink tone

Choose curtain colors that will look appropriate and fill the room with warmth:

olive combined with light beige;
sand-colored curtains framed with brown stripes along the long sides;
contrasting option: beige main curtain made of tulle, curtain made of brown thick fabric;
gray shades combined with universal white;
light prints on a white background: geometric shapes, simple patterns;
stylish stripe - it is better to choose vertical stripes, because horizontal ones will increase the width of the opening;
a light lilac shade of a curtain made of light fabric in combination with the silver color of the curtains;
terracotta curtain with a smooth transition to light pink color.

A good choice for the living room is to make your own curtains from light translucent fabric. When sewing, you should take into account all the objects around the door. Designers recommend making part of the curtain of the window block shortened if there is a cabinet or table there, and making the door curtain the full length.

What to choose: blinds, Roman blinds, curtains?

After determining the colors and sizes of the future curtains, you need to think about what type of curtains is most suitable for decorating the room. There is no need to hang a curtain made of thick, cleanable material here, as was the case in the kitchen. Almost all types of existing fabrics are suitable for the hall: they will decorate the balcony door in an original and practical way.

Interesting, bright, sliding option

Thread curtains: non-standard solutions

Small apartments, studios, attics, and other non-standard premises require a special approach. Here curtains can become both a divider into zones and a highlight of the interior. For example, on an insulated balcony next to the bedroom, you can make a boudoir, separating it with such curtains. You can use different lengths, colors, textures. There are also thread curtains with beads and other decorative elements.

Curtains for a kitchen window with a balcony door (video)

Beware of excess embellishment and decorative details. Everything is good in moderation.

The following are popular:

Several (or two) canvases of different lengths can be an effective solution, especially in the bedroom. The main thing is not to destroy the harmony.

If the interior of the living room is designed in an eco style, the curtains for the balcony window with a door are made from natural materials, bamboo, hemp, linen, and unbleached canvas are used. Curtains made from natural fabrics have the highest degree of safety and hygiene.

Classic

Classic curtains will help show the respectability of the house and the taste of the owner. Here you can use heavy fabrics (jacquard, tapestry, satin, velvet, silk) in combination with light ones (organza, muslin). We also carefully select cornices, decorative festoons, and curtain tiebacks. In a bedroom, living room or kitchen with a balcony door, you need to use at least two pieces of tulle for ease of opening.

Design options for balcony windows

Living room

This is where you can implement the most interesting projects. As a rule, the living room has a larger area than other rooms, so curtains of any designs and sizes can be used here. After all, the hall is a place where the whole family gathers after a working day, or where guests are invited to a celebration.

The main thing is that it is cozy and beautiful.

Blinds and Roman blinds for the balcony window.

Perhaps no more practical design has been invented. Such “curtains” occupy minimal space, provide free movement around the room and perfectly regulate the level of illumination. The only drawback: they look too formal. But this can be easily corrected with the help of decorative elements and beautiful curtain fabrics.

If the blinds are attached directly to the frame, then interesting curtain fabrics on the cornice will smooth out the “office effect”.

Straight blades.

Thick curtains and light tulle, moving freely along the cornice, smooth out the asymmetrical effect and are very functional. It is worth noting that the fastening options in this case can be different: on ties, on eyelets or classic rings.

The conservative model is ideal for windows with a balcony door.

Asymmetrical designs.

For lovers of interesting interior elements, this is the most suitable option. Usually the part of the curtain that is located above the balcony door is made shorter or “assembled” using a tie. And the tulle hangs down like a solid sheet. It is these compositions that are complemented with lambrequins (soft or hard) and logs.

Brushes and volumetric tiebacks look beautiful.

Cafe style.

Most people know it as “granny curtains” - two light curtains from the middle of the window to the windowsill. Recently, this model is increasingly used to decorate halls and living rooms.

This is a creative and practical option.

French curtains.

This model cannot be used in every interior. For living rooms, light curtain fabric is used for the main structure (many transverse folds), and plain tulle.

Classic is the most suitable style.

Kitchen

If you are the happy owner of a kitchen with access to a balcony, then you will have to seriously think about designing such a window opening. Since the kitchen space is the most functional in the apartment, which means curtains should not interfere with the work process. Moreover, if there is a gas stove or water heater next to the window, you should not decorate the window with airy tulle or veil - this is dangerous.

In a small kitchen, it is not recommended to hang dark curtains on the balcony door - this will not contribute to a comfortable stay in the room.

The most common and practical way to decorate a window with a balcony is the “cafe” style. Small curtains will cover the window, but will not obstruct the exit to the loggia. You can also use Roman shades and blinds. Finally, Japanese panels will help you create a creative and functional design.

A huge number of manufacturers allow owners of apartments with a balcony door to choose an option to suit their taste.

Bedroom

The rest room is a sacred place where comfort is at the forefront. This is where we rest and gain strength for a new day. Therefore, when choosing a model of curtains for a window with a balcony in the bedroom, you need to find out which side the window with a balcony faces, and if this side is eastern, then you will have to carefully choose the curtain fabric. Otherwise, it will be simply impossible to get enough sleep - from the very early morning the rays will be in the bedroom.

For many, the bedroom is a personal space that should be cozy and comfortable.

In addition, it is recommended to avoid complex structures that complicate the process of opening and closing a balcony door or window. The bedroom should have access to fresh air, so opening a window or balcony door should not require serious manipulation.

The window in such a room should have good curtains to sufficiently block out the sunlight.

Children's

When choosing curtains for the nursery, consider the following:

The child must like them. Therefore, when choosing drapes and curtains, be sure to coordinate this with the “owner” of the room, of course, if he (she) has already reached a certain age.
Reliably protect from light. In the nursery they not only play or do homework, but also sleep. And for proper rest you need protection from the sun's rays.
As a rule, curtains for a nursery should be wear-resistant, washable and require care, because curtains in a nursery not only complement the interior, but also become objects for games and fun.

If the bedroom has access to a balcony or loggia, then the curtains should also cover the door.

For a window with a balcony in a children's room, you should choose exclusively natural fabrics, since they do not cause allergies and create a special comfort and atmosphere.

Today, curtains made from natural fabrics are becoming increasingly popular.

Vertical blinds

Blinds are no longer just an office element. Today you can find horizontal and vertical types in different colors and sizes. Vertical ones are convenient for balcony doors and floor-to-ceiling windows (French) due to their design. They can be combined with thick curtains, which is important for ensuring privacy in the bedroom.

Patterns on balcony curtains

Since the balcony is a rather small room, you should not buy fabric with large and flashy patterns to make curtains.

Usually they use plain material, and if they choose patterns, then preference is given to muted prints. These can be small floral ornaments, light monograms, geometric patterns.

Such options will definitely relieve the room from boredom and monotony, and will make the balcony more refined and spacious.

Roller blinds and roller blinds

Roller blinds for a bedroom, living room with a balcony or loggia rightfully occupy one of the leading places in the design options for openings. They are impregnated with special compounds that prevent dust from settling, so they remain neat longer. A separate roller shutter can be made for each window or balcony door, which simplifies access to the balcony.

Fabric roller blinds come with manual and electric controls. The latter is convenient due to the presence of a remote control or voice control.

Using roller blinds: features and types

Selecting curtains for a balcony opening in any room always encounters difficulties: they are associated with the asymmetry of the opening. The window block and the door have different heights and widths, so there is no point in choosing a common curtain. Roll models come to the rescue - practical products that fit into a stylish interior.

Roll-up design is convenient to open and close

Roller blinds are more suitable for technical and minimalist design styles. They are not suitable for luxurious bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms made in Baroque, Empire, Rococo, and Classicism styles.

A huge number of manufacturers allow owners of apartments with a balcony door to choose an option to suit their taste.

The operating principle is as follows:

at the top of the product there is a special roller-type design;
fabric is wound inside the structure;
By performing certain manipulations, the fabric gently falls down, completely covering the glass.

The roller design is convenient to open and close several times a day, which is great for rooms with a balcony door. The model is especially useful in those apartments where the balcony faces the sunny side of the house. Daylight rays will not shine through the window due to a durable and reliable roller blind.

Roll models - practical products

Models are made of dense material that is easy to clean. The product will be optimal for a balcony door in the bedroom, living room and even in the kitchen . There are several options for controlling roll models; their features are proposed to be considered in the summary table.

Chain mechanism	Spring mechanism	Electric drive
Peculiarities	On the side of the main roller there is a cord made of durable PVC material. By pulling the chain, you can open and close the curtain, as well as leave it fixed in a certain position	The design contains a spring that independently regulates the length of the blade in the opening. The option is considered unreliable due to rapid wear of the mechanism	The electric motor is located inside the structure or installed permanently. Control is carried out using a remote control
Relevance of use on balcony doors	Suitable for decorating a balcony door in both the kitchen and living room. The roller blind can be closed only halfway, leaving the lower part of the balcony door open for convenience	Suitable for those parts of the balcony opening where constant light adjustment is not required. For example, you can place a spring roller blind at the bottom of the balcony door	Suitable for the bedroom or living room. This new product will look technologically and stylish

In addition to the main types of control, there are types of the design itself: it can be open or closed. It is better to choose a closed type, because then the curtain itself will not sag, and the external fabric will be protected from damage.

Models are made from dense material

DIY making

If purchasing ready-made versions of the product does not inspire inspiration, and the balcony opening has non-standard dimensions, it’s time to start sewing. Such a textile product will emphasize the style of the interior and add a little severity.

For work you need to select the following materials:

a wooden beam 3x4 cm or a metal hollow tube - for securing the canvases;
a wooden or metal bar for weighting - so that the structure does not dangle at the bottom of the balcony door;
furniture stapler and staples;
screwdriver and fasteners - self-tapping screws;
threads, scissors, other sewing supplies;
fabric sheet - how to calculate the required size is indicated below.

Roman version

Instead of a wooden beam or tube for a cornice, you can use a ready-made cassette system: it is sold in stores or departments with construction products.

If the length of the blade is correctly calculated, it will smoothly enter and exit the mechanism. Use the proven formula: determine the width based on adding the width of the opening or glass with an increase in seam allowances of 2-4 cm. To calculate the length of the product, measure the height of the balcony door and add 5-15 cm.

In addition to the listed materials, you will also need ribbons or chains with which the roller blind will operate. Their length is equal to the length of the finished curtain, doubled plus 25 cm in reserve.

You will need 2 blanks of canvas, which will subsequently be sewn into one product.

Lightweight, translucent tulle

As a material, it is better to choose a fabric that transmits light and is not capable of static accumulation.

The work consists of the following stages:

First, a pattern is made, it is transferred to fabric and cut out. At the next stage, both fabrics are sewn on the wrong side on two sides of the length and on one side of the width. The workpiece is turned right side out and ironed.
The prepared weighting material is inserted into the part that was not sewn up. After this, the curtain is finally sewn in width. All sewing operations are best performed using a sewing machine.
The top of the fabric is wrapped around a block of wood and secured with a furniture stapler. If you use a metal tube, you can use special hooks instead of staples: they will allow you to quickly remove the curtain for washing.

It is better to choose fabric as a material

Ties or cords are also screwed to the cornice to support the product. It is worth thinking in advance about the place where the cord will be hidden when the window is open.
The structure is attached to the balcony door frame or to the wall above the door using a screwdriver and screws. Another type of control is made using a cord fixed to the side. Then special rings are sewn onto the canvas where the cord is threaded.
Making roller blinds for a balcony door will not cause any problems - the process is fast and exciting.

Easy to do it yourself

What you need to know about color and style solutions

It is not advisable to use more than two styles and color accents in textiles to decorate a room with a balcony door, so as not to make the interior redundant. It is also better to give preference either to timeless classics or to be guided by the principles of minimalism. For the bedroom, subdued, pastel or neutral colors are often used to promote relaxation.

In the case of a combined room (studio), it is better to make all textiles in the same style. Rich, bright colors and patterns are acceptable here. If a balcony or loggia is attached to a residential area, then they are part of it. Hence the importance of perceiving space as one. In this case, the following options are possible:

While preserving the balcony block, curtains can be used to decorate both interior and balcony windows.
When insulating and attaching a loggia, balcony windows take on a decorative role.

But you can leave a lambrequin or muslin in the opening, or drape the cornice with a light fabric that suits the style.

A successful curtain design can “make” the entire interior of an apartment, distract attention from its small size, design flaws, and not new furniture.

Peculiarities

Why do designers often have difficulties with access to the balcony? The explanation is the simplest: this window opening is asymmetrical and multifunctional. In addition, there is a battery. As a result, access to the balcony will either become the pearl of your interior and will evoke only rave reviews, or it will turn out to be a noticeable design mistake.

Choosing curtains for a balcony block is not as difficult a task as it might seem at first glance

To make a room with access to a loggia not only stylish, but also comfortable, there are a number of simple rules:

The amount of natural light that will enter the room. Even if the window faces the sunny side, but the balcony is glazed, a small amount of light enters the room. This means that thick and dark curtains are not the most suitable option.
If your loggia is not glazed and faces south, then, on the contrary, you need to think about how to protect yourself from the scorching rays of the sun. In this case, thick curtains will be the ideal choice.
In many families, the balcony is perhaps the most functional part of the apartment: people go out onto it to hang laundry to dry, use it for convenient storage rooms, and even create a seating area.

It is recommended to take all these factors into account when choosing a curtain design. In addition, the above aspects will also affect the choice of fabric.

Options for different rooms

Each room in the house should have its own composition. This is dictated primarily by the functionality of the room. Well, aesthetics plays an important role here.

Kitchen

This room is strictly divided into zones. Where food is taken, any decorations that the residents like are allowed. But in the food preparation area, completely different rules apply. And they are related to safety precautions.

It is highly undesirable to have curtains such as tulle, curtains or veils in the area of gas or electric burners. Sometimes a light breeze is enough to start a fire, and a serious fire can start. Therefore, small country-style curtains are best suited in the kitchen. Or you can decorate the balcony block using blinds and Japanese curtains.

Bedroom and living room

Here you can experiment as your heart desires. The main thing is to adhere to the general style of decorating the room. Otherwise, the balcony block will be noticeable. And it needs to fit into the environment.

There are some general rules:

In a small room it is better not to use dark shades. They will have a constant depressive effect on the residents;
For low ceilings, it is not advisable to use lambrequins. It can also cause a feeling of pressure;
Curtains should be easy to assemble to allow access to the balcony at any time. And also if you need to let more light into the room.
It’s a good idea to add an Austrian touch to such rooms or create a composition of translucent curtains and contrasting drapes.

Children's

The decoration of this room is extremely complex. It all depends on the age of the child and his preferences. A certain pattern can only be used with a newborn, and the design that parents like best can last at most two years.

A balcony in a baby's room is a rarity. Usually he is not alone in the apartment, otherwise it would hardly be a nursery. During this period, access to the loggia is not necessary. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about unhindered access and decorate the block in a romantic style. Any draperies in a strictly light style are used. But due to the obligatory afternoon rest, the density of the curtains should be sufficient to ensure comfort and twilight.

By the age of five, practicality should already prevail in window design, along with romance. The child learns to walk, and he will rise to his feet with the help of a curtain. Materials must be strong and wear-resistant.

They also need to be easy to clean, since children are all creative personalities and leave their art wherever they can reach it. Therefore, during this period it is better if the curtain only reaches the window sill.

For a teenager, the main thing is that there is excellent lighting control in the room. Practicality also prevails, so you need to choose durable material that will last until you reach adulthood. As for the design and color shades, they must be chosen after a meeting with the child.

Practice shows that if it is not possible to change styles as children grow up, then the best solution would be to use Roman blinds or blinds in combination with lambrequins.

Decorating a balcony block involves some difficulties and will take more time than decorating a regular window. But besides the time costs, the owner of the house will enjoy some pleasant little things. You can play with the color of the fabric and its texture to create a composition that can add comfort and harmony to the room.
