Curtains on the bay window

Curtains with which we decorate the dwelling speak about much. They can be a stylish accent of the room, its protection from the ingress of sunlight or extraneous human views. However, if the purchase of models for typical windows confuses few people, the design of the bay window may seem complicated. In fact, for a harmonious choice is enough to take into account the basic knowledge and some rules.

Bay window is a part of space that protrudes beyond the limits of the main geometric shape. This protrusion may differ in shape and size, however, it always has a glazing of several windows. Its shape can be rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal, semicircular, and multi-faceted.

As a rule, the dimensions and shape of the windows of the bay window are identical, which makes it possible to somewhat simplify the selection of the desired variant. The design of the curtains is chosen in such a way that it fits into the overall style of the room. At the same time, they take into account the taste priorities of the owners of the house, as well as the constructive nuances not only of the projection, but also of the whole room. For example, this is reflected in the color solutions, the presence or absence of prints, the varieties of the curtains themselves and the method of their attachment.

Models are selected based on the geometric shape of the protrusion. For example, if it is triangular or trapezoidal, it is preferable to hang a separate curtain on each window. When it is semicircular, it is better to arrange the opening with a continuous curtain, as it is more convenient, and it looks more aesthetic. In addition to the shape of the protrusion, it is important to take into account other nuances:

• If the bay window has built-in niches, it is better to buy separate curtains for each window.
• You can not overload a limited space with a complex cut and layering. From this bay window seems less.
• It is important to correlate the chosen variant with the style of the room, of which the bay window is a part.
• It is necessary to take into account the color effect of the shades of curtains on a person.
• You can not hang on the windows curtains, creeping on the floor.
• A semi-round window of a round shape is better to draw with a single curtain.
• Curtains should not only be functional and practical. It is important that they are comfortable.

Well, if at the same time they will not be deformed and shrink. We must not forget about practicality, eyeing textiles for curtains.

An interesting solution to the design of a small bay window is a straight curtain that serves as a kind of screen. This option, of course, does not close the household from curious glances from the street, but will allow to give comfort to the bay window, the whole area of ​​which can be occupied by a podium with an armchair and a table or a sofa. To cover your stay in the recreation area, you can take care of additional options for protecting windows. For example, it can be blinds.

One of the key criteria for the selection of curtains for the bay window is its purpose. In general, this feature of the room layout is used for unobtrusive zoning of space.This allows the organization to enter the premises without the use of elements such as partitions and screens. In this case, the style of the curtains is selected so that they do not interfere with the operation of the bay window.

For example, If a dining room is located in the bay area, there is no need to pile up a complex model with lambrequins and draperies on the windows. For such windows, roll or roman curtains are suitable. They are simple, while looking quite stylish and do not outweigh the interior design.

If the bay window is part of the living room, the situation is different. Short curtains are inappropriate here, as are simple fabric textures. This place should be elegant, because the hall itself is usually different from other rooms more elegant. For example, bay windows can be decorated with a single curtain with a rounded ceiling cornice. In this case Austrian and French curtains will look good. The first emphasize the luxury and wealth of decoration, the second due to textile festoons and folds will be a bright accent of the bay window.

The windows of a multifaceted bay window can be decorated with Japanese panels. They look incredibly stylish and especially. This is a fresh look at the design of the bay window, with seeming simplicity, which allows to change the perception of a limited space. However, not every design style can be decorated with such curtains, and they will look better in the living room or bedroom or even in the study.

Here, simple solutions are welcome, say, simple sheets on grommets, coupled with transparent tulle. Textiles in this case it is better to choose practical, paying attention to the special strength of fasteners. As for the colors, in this case, plain products are preferable.

In some cases it is important to take into account the furniture of the bay window. If, say, under the windows of the bay window there are seating for relaxing with internal drawers surrounding the round table, and there are cushions of different caliber on them, then fabric blinds will be the best solution.

Do not worry that the roleta can not come to the general design: choosing a color to match the pillows, they will give integrity to the bay space.

When the bay window is small and consists of only three faces, such a space is often advantageously used for a workplace. In this case, the curtains should be short and more functional. So that at the same time they look modern and stylish, their design should be simple: both the roleta and the fabric blinds will look quite harmonious here.

There are several factors that influence the choice of curtain color. For example, take into account the ability of color to influence the change of space. It is important to bear in mind that light tones can create a visual effect of wall expansion and ceiling heights. They never pull all the attention to themselves, so against the general background the bay window looks like the main part of the room.

It is impossible not to take into account the fact that the dark tones show the boundaries of the room. If the textile is also dense, the situation will look very pitiable. Even the presence of accessories or furniture upholstery to the curtains does not always save the situation,after all, outwardly such curtains will make the bay window smaller and flatter.

The color is selected based on the design of the room itself. At the same time take into account the tone of the wall decoration, its richness and texture. Do not forget to take into account also the tone of the furniture, accessories (up to the lamp or wall sconce, picture frame). The curtains in white, silver, olive, pistachio, and blue colors look harmoniously on the bay windows.

It is not advisable to dress a bay window with red, dark gray, black curtains. Poisonous tones of orange and yellow are unacceptable, even if kitsch or avant-garde is chosen as the basis for the style.

If contrasts are necessary, you can pick up harmonious combinations of muted tones. For example, it may be the contrast of light golden-brown and milky, a duet of light green and white, white curtains with a dark gray pattern.

In the bedroom you can hang blue, lilac, peach curtains. Interestingly, it will look contrasts mint with white, light gray with turquoise, turquoise with sand, blue with beige. It is important to select the muted tones of the color palette (they are easier to perceive, do not irritate the psyche and do not create discomfort).

Of course, the bay window does not curtain massive portieres, for example, from velvet or velvet. It looks rough, and also makes the window decoration heavy. Being close to these windows will be difficult. Much more interesting will look at these windows translucent textiles or natural material. A combination of tulle and satin can also be called a good one.

It is not necessary to hang too heavy textiles on the windows, even if you plan to curtain the windows with so-called night curtains, which close the interior arrangement and the household itself from outside human views. It is quite enough to arrange the windows with materials of medium thickness. The main thing is that they do not shine through and have reliable fastenings. However, if the design provides for the presence of light textures, do not do without curtains, made of tulle or veil.

Of course, drawing curtains should not weigh down the space. Therefore, large and complex to perception prints for the design of the bay window are not suitable.Firstly, they add an abundance of diversity, and secondly, they often simplify the situation with too much contrasts.

It is important to consider the rules for using four tones in the interior. In this case, one is chosen as the background, the other makes it expressive, and the two intermediate ones are interconnected. For example, if the wallpaper in the room is beige, the ceiling is white, and the furniture upholstery color is turquoise, the easiest way is to decorate the bay windows with white curtains or with the contrast of white and turquoise.

If you start from the picture, in this case it can be a print of turquoise color on a white background. The ethnic ornament and floral motifs look good on the curtains. Today they are especially popular. If you take into account the flower theme, then these curtains are good in the design of the bay window under a small flower greenhouse.

The themes of the colors of the bay ledge decorated in the children's room can be any, as long as it matches the age of the child or his interests. These can be birds, fairytale characters, flowers, butterflies, gnomes, toys.

In the hall it is better to choose monochrome models or options without a pattern, but with a contrasting border around the perimeter. You can decorate the windows of the bay window of the kitchen with products in a cage, with models on the grommets with a simple pattern (for example, waves, transverse stripes). If the wallpaper in the room itself is with a pattern, it is preferable to hang monochrome articles on the windows.
