The relevance of the green shade
Man has learned to arrange his home so that rest and even work inside each room gives maximum comfort and convenience. This is where the expression “comfort zone” originated. Green color creates an appropriate zone thanks to the following features:
- Personification of nature;
- Calming effect;
- Creating a specific color when light is scattered.
The last property is facilitated by green curtains in the interior. Passing through their fabric, the light becomes magical. The magic is enhanced if the walls are decorated in a material that matches green curtains - blue, peach, lemon, cream.
Peculiarities
Green is part of the rainbow spectrum, but it has fewer adherents than other sectors of light refraction.
Different materials are chosen for the living room, bedroom, children's room and kitchen. Some rooms need practical synthetics that do not wrinkle, wash well, and are easy to iron. In other cases, dark green velvet or satin will emphasize the luxury of the stylistic solution.
This is a universal color that has cool, neutral and warm shades:
- An admixture of solar paint (anise, light green) is considered warming.
- Cooling - with the addition of blue or blue color (turquoise, mint, sea green).
- Neutral, calm, pastel shades - as if diluted with watercolor or milk.
With the right approach, you can find noble combinations of shades for the bedroom that will organically fit into any interior:
- for northern windows, you need to compensate for the lack of sunlight, select warm colors;
- It is better to curtain a lounge room facing south with a curtain with blue-green patterns;
- on the eastern side, pastel colors are traditionally chosen;
- in the southwest, it is recommended to choose light, colorful curtains with floral patterns.
Night curtains of any shade are appropriate in the bedroom interior, but it is better to avoid acidic or too bright options.
Variety of green colors
It is only children who think green is green. Adults can list several options for thematic design, and designers can list a dozen:
- Emerald;
- Turquoise;
- Jade;
- Malachite;
- Grassy;
- Salad;
- Lime;
- Olive;
- Mint;
- Marshy.
You can get confused among the shades of green, but the main idea is conveyed - the thematic design can change depending on the play of light and several colors.
Moreover, a ready-made solution has a different effect on mood. Therefore, for each room it is necessary to choose a specific shade and design of green curtains. What can we say about functionality?
Color spectrum
The multifaceted color is compared to the shimmer of precious stones:
- emerald;
- malachite;
- aquamarine;
- turquoise.
Young turquoise contains more blue, old turquoise is greener. Multilayer compositions in a classic style are sewn from textiles in pleasant shades. Small splashes of acidic yellow-green color are only appropriate in the textiles of a futuristic-design bedroom or in a high-tech teenager’s room.
The noble tone is favorably emphasized by the dense texture of the curtains. The incomparable shimmer of emerald green delights in curtain compositions made of satin, velvet or velor. They pair perfectly with antique or classic furniture against the white walls of a large room with lacquered parquet flooring.
Green curtains for the kitchen
The functionality of the kitchen knows no bounds: every day food is prepared here, garbage is thrown away and sometimes even clothes are washed. You also have to eat inside the kitchen. Therefore, the curtains of a universal room should stand out:
- Short length for convenient use and easy maintenance;
- Folding or folding mechanism (it is not necessary to use it, since the sliding version is an immortal classic);
- A muted green background (if the curtains are bright, then the curtains can be muted);
- Subjects with the presence of a relatively bright green color - grassy, mint, lime.
Moreover, it is not worth dwelling only on green stories. Light green curtains for the kitchen welcome patterns in the form of dove, pink or lemon blossoms, as well as their characteristic stripes or checkered patterns. These fragments lift the mood and serve as a focus of attraction so that possible pollution is less noticeable.
Often green curtains with flowers have to be matched to kitchen aprons and tablecloths. The hue and brightness of all elements must match. Only inside the dining room can pure green curtains be used, provided that the color itself is muted.
Basic color characteristics
Blue shades are quite noble tones. It makes you think, eliminates depression, and helps you get ready for active work. What is important is that it does not irritate people in any way.
Many psychologists claim that blue color reduces appetite. This is why using blue shades in kitchen areas will encourage less food consumption.
If you belong to the category of people who, for good reasons, need to consume a lot of food, then you should not use blue color combinations in your kitchen design.
Blue color, along with all shades, is considered to be cool tones. In no case should you use blue curtains in those rooms whose windows face north, because the room will seem even more gloomy, dark and very cold. These color shades will look good in living spaces with windows facing north. Here they will give the rooms freshness and coolness.
When choosing blue curtains, it is important to evaluate the size of the room. For large rooms with huge windows, dark blue curtains are well suited, but in small rooms light blue or light blue shades will look harmonious.
When choosing blue curtains, it is important that it is present in other interior items or decor. You can use curtains with drawings or patterns, but in this case the same drawings should also be on textiles.
But not only the color of the curtains is of great importance in the room. It is also important what textiles you choose to decorate your windows:
- When using organza in the hot season, you will feel a surge of freshness.
- Using satin, you will feel comfort and harmony.
- Thick curtains can visually warm you and your family on cold winter evenings.
Green curtains for the bedroom
Another room that suits themed curtains is the bedroom. Moreover, green curtains in the bedroom, as well as in the living room, should be dark. But if the guest room allows the use of marshy or emerald colors, then the bedroom requires more noble solutions:
- Turquoise;
- Malachite;
- Nephritis;
- Emerald.
An obligatory companion to curtains is tulle. The fact is that in the bedroom you have to maintain an intimate atmosphere even during daylight hours. Translucent curtains solve the corresponding problem, allowing the sun to slightly enter the space when the curtains are open.
Classic bedroom designs are suitable for models with inflorescences, while Japanese sliding analogues in the form of panels are suitable for modern ones.
Children's
Warm tones, for example light green, are welcome here. And for the mood, curtains with a nature-themed pattern are suitable. If the child is active, olive-colored curtains are recommended - they have a calming effect.

Green curtains for a children's room
A child's room welcomes a calming atmosphere no less than a bedroom. Therefore, parents often frame the walls with the desired wallpaper and only then wonder what curtains are suitable for green walls. The answer is simple - the same color as the walls if the curtains are green:
- Peach;
- Citric;
- White;
- Blue.
As a result, the plot of the summer sky takes shape. And since the youngest member of the family will use the curtains, by default they are required to display multi-colored cartoons in the form of one large plot or separate fragments.
Expressive colors like red, orange, poisonous and purple should occupy no more than 5% of the total volume of the curtains. Even better is to avoid such paints altogether.
Design options
Combining textiles for the bedroom is a fascinating process where experiments are appropriate:
- a combination of transparent tulle and thick green curtains of the same shade;
- heavy night curtains with draperies complemented by a weightless veil;
- contrast of dark and light thread curtains without curtains;
- overlaying light tulle of different lengths and shades.
When the sleeping room already has a beautiful curtain or photo curtain, it is not so easy to choose curtains that will not overload the perception in terms of color saturation and pattern.
Green curtains for the balcony
The balcony is as relaxing as the bedroom. Often it serves as a workplace, simulating the so-called. open office. But is it possible to relax or work at the computer in the summer heat? The answer is obvious - no. Therefore, photos of green curtains are often linked to a catalog for the design of hanging space. It’s not surprising, because the balcony literally leads you deeper into the outdoor landscape. At the same time, thematic proximity causes a lot of trouble:
- Precipitation;
- Insects;
- Dust.
Because of this, you have to frequently tidy up the curtains. The interval between each care can be extended by using gray-green curtains. The point is that they already seem aged, so natural wear and tear suits them to a certain extent. In addition, such curtains are often cheaper than analogues of noble colors.
It is not necessary to frame the balcony glazing with sliding curtains all the way to the floor:
- Firstly, inside the hinged structure, window openings often begin at a height of 1-1.4 m from the floor;
- Secondly, long curtains are heavy and wear out quickly at the bottom;
- Thirdly, in addition to sliding curtains, there are ergonomic roller shutters and blinds.
Therefore, long green-brown curtains may be a losing solution, even if there are trees around the house that harmonize directly with the curtains. The question is, how well do the latter harmonize with the interior design of the interior space? If the frame consists of heavy fabric, and the living room is adjacent to the balcony, then the daylight of the two places will leave the best. The conclusion is obvious: dark green curtains are suitable for a classic balcony if they are ergonomic and short.
More open hanging structures like the “French balcony” can be decorated from the inside with round sliding curtains. But for this you will have to purchase a bay window cornice and curtains in a noble green color scheme.
Dimensions
Before buying curtains for windows, you need to calculate the required size of the canvas. To do this, you need to measure the length of the cornice and the distance from it to the surface of the floor or the top of the window sill - it all depends on the chosen model.
The photo of green curtains shows that they can be:

If you are going to drape the fabric, keep in mind that then the width of the product will need to be increased.
