Interior decoration with mint-colored curtains on eyelets

Mint color is usually associated with freshness, purity, and newness. This is a natural color that belongs to the spectrum of green and partially blue colors, helping to relax - you can use it to paint the walls of a room or purchase furniture covers, carpets, and mint-colored curtains with grommets.

Mint is a unique case where a color is named for taste rather than visual perception.

Mint-colored curtains: what they look like, brief description, examples

Mint curtains are a beautiful way to decorate window openings, an original zoning element for spacious rooms. The color is associated with early spring, youth, and a gentle “chill.” Curtains can be a la “blackout” or thin, translucent, locally decorate windows or cover two-thirds of the wall, combined with curtains that divide the room into zones.

There is no such thing as too much mint color in the interior

Eyelets are ideal for curtains that need to be opened frequently

Eyelets are a convenient element for fastening curtains, which have a very aesthetic appearance, representing a metal, wooden, or plastic circle inserted into the upper part of the curtain, through which the cornice is threaded. Oval and polygonal elements are used less frequently.

The shapes of eyelets can be very different, from classic rings to stylish frills

Curtains in mint tones, with plastic grommets, are convenient for use in wet rooms where temperature changes are common - bathrooms, washrooms, showers, and open verandas. Metal ones are suitable for heavy curtains, wooden ones for a rustic interior.

The color itself is located on the color wheel between green and blue, usually it is a dim, translucent pastel shade, but there are also more saturated options. The tone itself is universal, its varieties are pang, aquamarine, magical mint, soft mint, etc.

Mint color is a combination of the most delicate shades of blue and green.

Decor and textiles

The paintings are suitable for the living room, office and bedroom, wide hallway. Depending on the style of the room, the image will be appropriate (abstraction, ships, painting, reproduction).

Curtains and tulle are selected according to the type of fastening (eyelets, loops) and the quality of the fabric (natural, synthetic). The length and type of curtains (thread curtains, drapes) also plays a role. Gray, white, scarlet, beige and brown colors are suitable for mint walls.

Pillows as the main decor of the bedroom should echo the curtains or carpet. They come in different shapes, with ornaments or fringes. The carpet creates warmth for the feet and acts as a bright accessory for the living room, nursery, and bedroom.

The rug can be dyed or have a design applied to it.

Interior decoration with mint curtains

Mint-colored curtains with eyelets are matched to the existing interior:

• minimalism - straight and uncomplicated, plain, with plastic eyelet rings to match the product;
• high-tech - made of satin, metallized fabric, suspended on an iron cornice, most often with an electric drive;
• classic – combined, imitating a two-layer structure, mostly matte;
• environmental - on wooden eyelets, decorated with stripes and simple geometric patterns;
• baroque - richly decorated with intricate patterns made in silver, gold, bronze tones;
• shabby chic - the draperies themselves and other curtain decor look antique-style, relatively pale, as if faded during use;
• loft - an elongated curtain from the ceiling to the floor, almost completely covering the entire wall.

There is practically no interior style to which mint shades cannot be added.

In the interior, mint curtains are supported by furniture or decorations of the same tone

Advice. If the height of the room needs to be slightly adjusted downwards, the upper, dense part of the curtain is made in a lighter or darker tone. To visually increase the height of the room, select a curtain with vertical stripes of varying widths.

This color is great for rooms located in the southern part of the building

What not to do?

Less - more. If you think mint-saturated walls or furniture would be redundant, start with the first small color.

Advice. Use it on pillows, add accents to your rooms, or add a small vase to your window. Even a small amount of menthol accessories will perfectly refresh the space. Try to recognize the color in spring, when nature wakes up and freshness is felt especially sharply.

Shades for the living room, design examples, combination of curtains with wallpaper

In a living room, especially one combined with a kitchen, there are usually two or three or more windows. All of them are decorated with the same curtains - when the windows are tall and located in close proximity to each other, it is recommended to decorate them with a common curtain. Another option for using a cornice with eyelets is a zoning partition between the kitchen and dining areas, a place for relaxation and cooking. At the same time, the kitchen is decorated with chrome-plated surfaces, shiny gloss, and the spacious living space is decorated in darker colors.

To lift the mood, the living room windows can be decorated with mint curtains with bright patterns.

Advice. To slightly change the daytime design of eyelet curtains, tiebacks are used, which are wide ribbons, ties, chains with fasteners, matched to the tone of the main curtain fabric.

You don't have to buy a curtain holder at all. You can make stylish decor with your own hands, for example, from a piece of rope

However, the “sleeping pill” effect will come in handy in the interior of the bedroom

What points should be taken into account?

If you have a small living room and want to visually enlarge the space, you should choose furniture that matches the color of the walls. To ensure the shade is not intrusive, choose a gray or green shade. Mint does not have to be bright; on the contrary, it is better to opt for a midtone.

And so that the living room does not seem monotonous, add piquant sketches! Furniture in cheerful colors will perfectly complement the interior. Yellow curtains, orange pillows, cheerful paintings, and a soft green carpet will be a good addition. It is the details that will give the room a holistic and elegant look. You can also put figurines, red flowers, vases on the wall. Such an interior will give a charge of positivity after a hard day at work and will definitely appeal to families and guests!

If you're looking for a more casual feel, consider using pastel or white accents instead of bright decor. A milky coffee table, porcelain figurines, a cream carpet, and a light sofa are suitable. Curtains should be of a peach or sand shade. In such a living room, all fatigue and negative emotions will go away.

Those who love a more formal and modern interior can add dark decorations. For example, a dark wooden shelf or cabinet could become such an accent. Metallic decor and sheer curtains are also good.

The result will show a subtle sense of taste and originality. If the setting lacked liveliness and its own “character,” then ornaments and motifs will correct it. So, you can buy striped pillows or a blanket with flowers. Ornaments, patterns and geometry perfectly complement the mint-colored interior.

Examples of combining mint curtains with other colors in the interior

Mint-colored curtains made of various materials can be hung in all rooms, carefully fitting them into the interior, or in just one. Such curtains can become a continuation of light green walls or the only light accent.
