To understand the difference between different products, it is necessary to briefly indicate their features.

Rolled

When opened, these canvases are virtually indistinguishable from standard squared panels, besides the fact that they have transformation ropes inside. When they are pulled over, the curtains take the form of festoons.

At the same time, the size and number of festoons can vary, and the number of panels varies per window opening. On small window openings often hang products consisting of one festoon.

Roman

Roman curtains - there is nothing like the canvas, consisting of several sections. They have horizontally arranged folds, and any section in them is reinforced by special elements. The lower edge of such curtains may have a weighting agent in the form of a plate. The folding mechanism of these models resembles the work of blinds: to lift the curtain, you need to pull the rope.

The lifting mechanism of the Roman blinds consists of a rod, a control rope and a ribbon. These are stylish and interesting exterior curtains, through which you can implement various design solutions.

In order to give an extraordinary look to the design, in this case, different ways of hanging panels are used, and they are also combined with special curtains (for example, rolshtor). Some stylists consider it appropriate to hang the ends of classic curtains on the decorative elements of ceiling lamps.

However, with all the desire, such a design is dangerous: it is better to hang the panel crosswise, rather than create a fire hazard situation.To give an unusual shape to traditional canvases, you can use a variety of clothespins, clips, brooches and even buckles from belts. Someone uses ties or butterflies instead of grabs, and even army belts.

With an unusual decor

This line of unusual curtains are mostly home-made products. Often the very basis of such curtains is regular textiles. At the same time, it is decorated, depending on the creative flight of fantasy, not only with embroidery, but also with ping-pong balls, pom-poms of various sizes and colors from knitting threads. Some people like macrame curtains, others prefer puffs, performing them in the upper part of the panels.

If you don't like French blinds, you can decorate the windows of the kitchen with roller analogues. They look stylish, modern and unusual.

If preference is given to Japanese models, it is important that they have a contrast. If the material does not have a contrasting color or pattern, the appearance of such curtains is simplified. Wooden curtains are selected very carefully so that they do not turn into banal folklore from a stylish decor. Choosing such products, one should not forget about the flow around elements, the large dimensions of parts and sharp edges are excluded: the curtain should not injure.
