When recreating the marine theme in the room, it is very important to pay attention to the nuances. So, as the basis for the curtains is to choose flax, soft fabric, jute, and an irons.

Style

For sea-style curtains, it is better to prefer the construction in the form of Roman or Japanese curtains, scallops or blinds.

For example, if they decorate the window in combination with a small transparent curtain of tulle, you get a multi-layer, which is so characteristic of ship sails. Roman blinds are easy to adjust for windows of any size and configuration. Curtains of this type will help to create the necessary amount of daylight in the room based on your personal preferences. Caring for Roman curtains is quite simple: they are easy to remove and wash, and then hang back.

Decorating windows in different rooms

Living-dining room

Both blinds and drapes are suitable for these rooms. They should be placed as close as possible to the ceiling in order to feel the spirit of the sea space. If the choice fell on the blinds, it is better that they have a fabric basis. As for the color range, in rooms such as a living room or a dining room, where a lot of people always gather, it is better to use soothing shades - greenish, blue, blue.If it seems that in this design the room looks boring, you can add sandy accents. For the living room in a nautical style fit and curtains made of bamboo.

In the decorative niches you can place the marine paraphernalia: the steering wheel, the vest, the weather vane, the anchor, the barometer. So that the decorative elements do not create the sensation of chaos, they must be correctly distributed in the interior of the room. In addition, the color of the accessories must be contrasted with the tone of the curtains to stand out. On plain curtains, let's say a low-key design that will be clearly visible when the curtains are lowered and drawn down. If you open the window, the breeze will sway the fabric and increase the feeling of being in the sea.

It is worth remembering that artificial lighting makes the fabric a few tones darker, so you should not choose curtains of very dark shades, otherwise the general atmosphere of the room will not be romantic, but gloomy. Blue and rare yellow accents on the fabric require appropriate furnishing - all furniture should be selected exclusively in bright colors.

Children's

Making a room for a child also includes taking into account the psychological aspect.With age, the interests and preferences of the baby change, some previously mounted elements may become irrelevant. For a room in a nautical style to be always cozy and attractive for a child, it is necessary to modify it in a timely manner.

At 11–12 years old, curtains in a room, for the most part, should be a reflection of the game element. They can be applied to images of sea animals, landscapes, sails, radiant sky. Thanks to this environment, the child will be able to get rid of negative emotions, fatigue, stress. In addition, curtains will be an addition to children's games, creating the necessary atmosphere. The main thing is that the curtains do not look alyapisto, otherwise they will cause discomfort and irritation to everyone who is in the nursery, including the child himself.

For this age group it is better to choose white curtains from natural materials: satin, cotton, linen. To create a more playful and fun atmosphere, it is acceptable to intersperse red, gray, turquoise and yellow elements.

Curtains with pickups on both sides will look beautiful. In adolescence (13-15 years old), children’s preferences change.It is not necessary to do a major overhaul in the room, rip off the wallpaper and throw furniture away, just change the curtains. If a teenager continues to be interested in marine themes, then you can save this style due to the thematic pattern on the curtain fabric. But to replace the schools of fish, dolphins and starfish should come more "adult" elements - ships, yachts. To make the new curtains fit well with the furniture, it is better to leave the same color as on the previous curtains.

At the age of 16-20, young people and girls have a habit of thinking a lot, dreaming, thinking. It is connected with the open spaces of life: an institute, a part-time job, the first falling in love, dating. Accordingly, at this time, adolescents may want to retire more often and be alone with their thoughts. In this case, the curtain fabric must be heavier, capable of tightly closing the window opening. But the general tone of the curtains and any applications on it should remain in bright colors, otherwise in the evening, when artificial light will be used, the room in a nautical style will seem gloomy and gloomy.

Manufacturer selection

When buying fabric for curtains, it is better to give preference to companies that are well known and have already gained a good reputation.Despite the fact that the price range they may have is somewhat higher than that of competitors, you can buy a quality product by choosing from a large number of the proposed models, differing in shades and prints. You can be sure that all applications on fabric (anchors, sea waves, foam, ropes, gulls) will have the correct proportions without visual distortion and sewing defects.
