Not every model of curtains is suitable for the design of a teenage boy’s bedroom, because each model has its own characteristics. If at a younger age this is not paid special attention, in adolescence children already have their own opinion, which has to be considered.For example, not every guy will like multilayered curtains with folds and draperies in the room. It is not necessary to hang on the windows and options with a complex lambrequin and decorative tassels.

Such products are good for rooms of adults, but in children look rude and inappropriate. Other options that you should not experiment with are Austrian curtains. The festoons, which they represent in assembled form, will look strange in the boy's room. It is undesirable to hang asymmetrical curtains on one side here.

The best products that will fit in almost any modern direction in the design of a guy’s room will be:

Corrugated analogues or pleated blinds are also compact. Outwardly, they are somewhat similar to blinds, when closing they are collected in folds of the same length and width. However, unlike the Rolshtor, they can be opened in two directions, and if desired, both from above and below, leaving a small fragment closed in the middle. They are more expensive than roller products, designed for manual and remote control, they are performed according to a special technology.

To buy for the junior room really stylish and modern curtains, It is worth considering a few basic rules.

• The color of the curtains should be different from the shade of the wallpaper. It may be related, but complete coincidence will deprive the canvases of expression, and the canvases will be lost against the general background.
• Nothing spoils the curtains like the wrong length. They should not slide along the floor: ideally, from the floor to the edge of the panels should be at least 3 cm. Models with a roller mechanism and plisse do not reach the edge of the window sill.
• In the bedroom of a teenager is better to choose products in bright colors. It is the light colors of the color palette that can visually beat the flaws in the furnishings, filling up the lack of light, the height of the ceiling and the width of the walls.

• Do not complicate the curtains with a large print: so the room will seem smaller than it actually is. This will affect the simplification of the design. If the picture is on the wallpaper, it is not needed on the curtains.
• The width of the curtains is selected taking into account the features of a particular model. For rolshtor it corresponds to the width of the glass, for plisse and roman it can be a little wider.For options on rings, loops or grommets, you need to consider a small allowance for soft folds.
• Matters and status. Cheap curtains will never look beautiful against the backdrop of a premium environment.
• When choosing a photo printing it is worth considering: pattern of curtains will be a bright accent of the room. If the interior already has its accents, such a technique can disrupt the harmony of the interior composition.

To choose the right option is in accordance with the features of the style. For example, environmental design adheres to the use in the arrangement of natural elements. Some modern trends, on the contrary, need a demonstration of the synthetic basis of textiles, which can be expressed by texture.

For example, the same blinds can be supplemented with paintings on the grommets, due to which long curtains will perform the function of night curtains.
