In the interior with any design decision, sooner or later the question arises about the purchase of curtains. Someone they will help get rid of the sun and heat. For others, they will be an excellent "shield", will help to hide from the eyes of strangers. Some curtain owners will help in the proper design of the room. Simple rules will help you choose and build a curtain set.

There are many types and types of curtains. When choosing a suitable option, first of all you should decide on their purpose.

They can fulfill several roles:

• design element;
• means of protection from sunlight and heat;
• protection from prying eyes in the evening.

In the first case, it makes sense to pay attention when choosing only to relevance. Curtains should be consistent in style to the other participants in the design decision. In the second embodiment, the materials for curtains should have a certain density and shape. In the third version, you need to think about a combination of a curtain set. With inattentive and hasty choice of purchase will bring a lot of inconvenience. Favorite curtains will be able to perform several or all of the above functions. Two-color curtains by this criterion will be the ideal option. With the right composition of matter, you can get the desired effect at low cost.

After determining the functions of the curtains, you must choose the right fabric. In the modern world, it’s not worth staying at this point. However, if there are preferences, you need to think about it separately.It can be both natural and artificial materials. They can be produced both in distant countries and in the neighboring region. In this matter, you need to remember your own desires and possibilities. The recommendation will be the same: for two-color curtains, it is worth choosing the same or similar in quality matter. This will help preserve the appearance and increase the life of the products.

The choice of texture and density of the fabric is carried out on the basis of the tasks of the finished product. So, the texture and density of products to complete the design can be any. Here it is important to remember that it is better to combine similar fabrics. They will react equally to impacts and harmoniously combined. Over time, they will not warp and not lose their appearance. Density is better to opt for the average version. The finished product will get the effect of flowing and light fabric.

The size and configuration of finished products is limited by the author's imagination. When choosing, it is worth considering the purpose, location and wishes of the owner of the room So, in a small kitchen will be inappropriate long curtains of thick fabrics. In this regard, there are a number of recommendations. They are dictated by experience. So, to work with a window sill, you should choose options with a length to the middle of the window or slightly lower. In the opposite case, you can safely hang the floor-length products. The configuration can also assume an open window sill or a combination of a long “lamella” for a balcony door and a short one for a balcony window. The canvas may have a cutout cascade. This option is ideal for growing flowers and seedlings on the window.

Modern production technologies offer the broadest options of matter. First of all, it is worth considering the compliance of the curtains with the overall design of the room. You should also choose the shape and color. In a situation with combined curtains, it makes sense to choose the right combination of colors and the way of interaction between them. Experts advise to base the choice on the basic colors of the interior.Also, do not neglect the semantic content of the colors used. The right combination will help to transform the room visually.

The colors of the cold band expand the room. If the room does not have enough home comfort, then you should choose one of the following variations: sand, cream, vanilla, beige, brown. The same purpose should be the use of yellow and orange, other warm shades. The colors of the pastel group bring peace and relaxation. Gray shades in any combination tune in a serious way.

• black and gray;
• dark beige and blue;
• yellow and green;
• the color of chocolate and pistachio ice cream.

A beautiful and neat approach is the combination of two close colors. Example: a dark blue edge with a light blue middle. It is worth remembering that the colors can be combined both in a horizontal and in a vertical arrangement. It is better to base on the available characteristics of the room. For example, in a low room, two-color curtains with vertical division will look good.Options with horizontal stripes will make the room visually wider.

When forming the final sketch, you should think about the popular arrangement of color accents. Designers are advised to highlight the edges and bottom portieres with dark colors. Do not forget about the popular version of the combination of fabric with a pattern and fabric without it.

Usually one of the principles is taken as the basis for the design of windows:

• harmonious combination;
• contrast.

In the first case, both colors of curtains are in the same color range. These are usually two adjacent colors. In the second version, colors are selected according to the principle of contrast. If we talk about style, now two options are in great demand: hi-tech and modern.

For the first of them, the following features are characteristic:

• lack of decor;
• angularity and directness;
• the presence of the correct geometric images;
• modern fabrics with anti-reflective and metallic effects.

• possibility of combination with other types of curtain products and blinds;
• eyelets and hinges;
• the presence of additional elements;
• the use of loose fabrics (nylon, organza, veil);
• the use of drawings with epic characters, unusual colors;
• preference for subtle colors (white pearls, marsh greens).

A good option would be the following combination:

• roller blinds on the windows;
• the usual curtain with length to the window sill, cutout cascade.

In the living room or the hall is better to hang ceremonial products. They must be multi-layered with complex structures. Their task is to attract attention to themselves. Good fit contrast models. In the bedroom is to hang a set of fabrics with high density of pastel shades. This combination will protect against sound and light noise. They will bring peace and tranquility. Children's room worthy of natural materials. It is necessary to take care of the fascinating image on a calm overall tone. In the corridor, thick curtain structures will replace interior doors. It is worth thinking about options with two-sided pattern.

The presence of additional elements in the kit may be dictated by the requirements of style or comfort. In the first case, the task of fittings is to create a suitable image in the interior. In the second embodiment, the emphasis is on the usefulness of these elements. With their help, open and close the window.

To obtain the desired effect, it is not necessary to buy finished products or order them. You can sew products yourself. In a situation with two-color options, everything is very simple. They can create any novice hostess.

On the sketch also need to write down the dimensions. To do this, you must first take measurements with a measuring tape. You can find out the length by measuring the distance from the eaves hooks to the floor covering. Five centimeters should be added for bends and seams. To determine the width of the finished product, the length of the cornice is measured.It must be multiplied by a factor of one and a half to two. This must be done to create folds and folds on the finished product during the processing of the web.

After creating the final image of the finished curtains and taking measurements, you need to pick up the material. The basis should take the features of interior design and ease of use.

The side sections are turned two centimeters and ironed twice. The same is made with the bottom of the product. The curtains are half ready. Now you need to sew a curtain tape.

For this, the top of the curtain is wrapped around the width of the tape. The bend is ironed out.The tape is applied to the resulting edge. In this case, its loops should look up. The tape should be attached and stitched around the perimeter. The tape can replace the grommets - special rings. In this case, a special sealing tape is glued to the top of the product. Points for grommets are marked. Cuts are made in these places. Rings are inserted and fixed into them. The product is ready. Now you need to hang it.

When washing products of a combined nature, it makes sense to adhere to some algorithm of actions. They must be soaked in a large volume of liquid. Wash them in the designated bag. It is also worth taking care of special tools that will help preserve the brightness of the color. They should also protect against accidental dyeing of the fabric.
