Floral print on curtains was recently considered a “granny” fashion, something old and forgotten, hidden in a heavy carved chest. For some time, the housewives of modern homes did not dare to resurrect the antiquity and were in no hurry to drape the windows with curtains in roses, considering them too simple for a modern setting a la Art Nouveau. Designers, in search of novelty and fresh trends, returned floral motifs to their former place and even elevated their significance. Curtains with flowers in an interior where vintage or English styles predominate look just right. They do not just decorate the room, but are an integral element of the design composition. They are pleasing to the eye, create an atmosphere of elegance, remind of summer, and go well with living plants, as well as with the overall uniformity of colors and a somewhat ascetic atmosphere.
Design in various styles
The versatility of floral curtains is undeniable. They can decorate any room. From residential apartments and cafes to office rooms. At the same time, the room immediately begins to look joyful and fresh. The main thing is to get into the design style.

What to combine with and choice of colors
Curtains with natural patterns cannot be combined with lush folds and other heavy, distracting elements. This oversaturates the interior. The colorful print itself attracts attention, so as a central element it should be surrounded by a modest setting.
Curtains are matched to the color of the walls. If the wallpaper contains bright, attractive colors, the window drapery should be made in a neutral chocolate, sand or olive color, depending on the overall tone scheme. Chamomiles, roses, tulips on the curtains should match the color of the wallpaper.
Flowers look beautiful next to striped or checkered wallpaper. It is important that the intricate print goes in tandem with a simple, even primitive pattern on the wallpaper. You should be careful when approaching contrasting shades, as well as the combination of colors and animal motifs in the interior.
Often curtains are selected taking into account the color of the interior. A perfectly white curtain decorated with delicate blue flowers along with furnishings made in the same tone will look aesthetically pleasing.
It is known that the color palette of the environment has a certain influence on a person’s mood.
Therefore, the choice of material for decorating a room should be approached responsibly.
- White color gives the room lightness and freshness.
- Green and all its shades help you relax.
- Beige harmoniously complements any interior and indicates the sophistication of the tastes of the owners of the room.
- Red has an exciting effect and creates an atmosphere of solemnity.
- Turquoise creates a good mood.
- Pink creates a romantic mood.
Modern
They prefer monochromatic options. The background can smoothly flow from black to white or from beige to brown. Flowers on textiles should be large enough and clear. And their number is moderate.
Curtains for a modern style are usually an accent. Therefore, against the background of the lack of print on the wallpaper and other small decorative details, there should be a bright spot on the window draperies.

Oriental
The style should support the feeling that something fabulous is happening around. Therefore, on the curtains, as well as on all textiles in the room, there should be a riot of colors. Ordinary flowers will not work here. Fantastic plants from Chinese or Japanese folklore look best. And in first place, of course, is the lotus.

Roller blinds for the bedroom
They are similar to Roman ones, but have an even more laconic appearance. The fabric used for manufacturing does not fade in the sun, does not attract dust and has the property of absorbing sunlight.
The models are very convenient - with a slight movement of the hand, the canvas is collected into a roll and unfolded back.

Decoration in the rooms
Floral print is versatile. It suits any room, regardless of its functionality.
Living room
The reception room needs curtains of sufficient length and large print. The decor of flowers on the curtains makes any environment feel homey. Even initially strict. Because it brings warmth and comfort to the room.
Bedroom
A floral print will fill your relaxation room with beauty. But in order for peace and comfort to reign in it, it is necessary to choose tones that are distinguished by tenderness. And the drawing should be peaceful, without flashy colors. Otherwise, it will be difficult for a person to relax.

Curtain care
In order for curtains to serve for a long time, it is necessary to follow the rules of caring for them, regularly clean or wash them, iron them and store them properly. Professional advice boils down to a few main rules:
Proper care takes into account the characteristics of a particular material, so the composition of the fabric is very important. Some products cannot be machine washed, require dry cleaning, or require steaming or ironing.
- In many cases, it is better to use a steamer instead of an iron - it provides a more delicate effect. In addition, it is more convenient to use.
- Experts advise regularly cleaning heavy, thick curtains from dust with a vacuum cleaner to maintain a healthy microclimate in the bedroom.
- Instead of powder, it is recommended to use liquid washing gel - such products rinse better without leaving streaks.
- Curtains should be washed or cleaned at least once a year. If the windows are often opened and the street is dusty, it is better to do this every three months.
Print sizes
Flower patterns can set the overall tone for the entire room. This is affected by the size of the print. After all, the right shapes are always selected for a specific design.
For example, for a spacious room, curtains with a large print would be appropriate. This will highlight the high ceilings. And when the room also features panoramic windows, a noticeable pattern will draw attention a little.

Small floral curtain patterns will look best in small rooms. After all, a small pattern fills the room with volume and slightly expands the space.
It is also worth noting that large prints look good only on long curtains. The small pattern on such curtains will simply be lost. If large flowers are placed on short curtains, the harmony in the room will most likely be disrupted.
Decorative task
If isolation from prying eyes is not required (the windows overlook, say, the garden), then the selected textiles can only play a decorative role. In this case, light translucent curtains that will let in sunlight are sufficient.
For decorative purposes, designers recommend using curtains from:
- tulle - now used as an independent material, without the classic combination with thick curtains;
- flax - an environmentally friendly option, perfectly breathable;
- cotton - hypoallergenic and natural fabric allows you to decorate even a children's bedroom;
- organza - the lightness of the material makes it possible to create spectacular draperies, as well as softly diffuse the sun's rays;
- satin and silk - shiny fabrics look great in classic interiors and spacious rooms.
Light, airy models of curtains on bedroom windows let in a lot of light and create a visual effect of increasing space.
