Classic curtains are solid canvas or two halves, which are attached to the eaves and fall in beautiful waves. Curtains can be supplemented with lambrequins, consist of several layers of fabric of different shades. Crossed curtains are designed in the form of two halves, which are attached in parallel or thrown over the eaves and symmetrically frame the window opening.

Italian curtains - two halves of fabric, fastened with cords that pass through the eaves ring. Roman curtains - it is a solid canvas, fastened to the eaves with a lifting mechanism. Due to this, the curtains fastened with laces, threaded into the rings, rise, forming smooth flounces. French curtains are equipped with symmetrical festoons. They are placed on the eaves with a lifting mechanism and cords.

Regardless of where the veil curtains are selected (in the living room, hall, bedroom), they must be in complete harmony with the general interior of the room: ceilings, walls, floor, furniture. For a room made in pastel shades, the best choice would be a fabric of light brown shades: beige, creme brulee, sand, chocolate, white, greenish. If the room is made in indigo tones, then the veil should be chosen in blue, turquoise, white, rich blue, silver-gray, lilac.

In a room with rich lemon and chocolate motifs, curtains of golden, pale yellow, cream and milky shades will look good. In the "a la sea" interior, it is appropriate to use a veil of blue-green, white, beige color.In an extravagant black-and-red interior of the room, curtains of dull purple, smoky, white and silver and cream shades look best.

Such a combination may cause irritation, headaches, discomfort.

Veil curtains of saturated colors, as a rule, are left without any applications and embroideries. The edge of the product can be decorated as a decorative element. Also in the company of bright curtains will look inappropriate thick night curtains and pelmets. It is better to select curtains with a pattern with natural motifs: images of butterflies, plants, the starry sky. Such curtains will be appropriate in the children's room.

The length of the curtains is usually determined by the height of the window sill: 6 centimeters higher or 13 cm lower. So, shortened versions of voile curtains, corner and arched models, as well as standard rectangular models would be appropriate for the kitchen area.As a decorative design can be used podhvaty, which are collected using plastic clips in soft folds.

Curtains in the floor are most appropriate in spacious rooms, but if you correctly approach the arrangement of furniture and equipment in the room, then these curtains can be hung in rooms with a small area. If the curtains are supposed to be hung on a window opening combined with a balcony door, it is better to choose also long versions of curtains.

When choosing the length of the curtains, it is necessary to imagine how they will look as a result. To calculate the required length, the curtains measure the length from the eaves to the windowsill and throw 30 centimeters in, since the veil is very light and tends to rise. This rule applies to both shortened models and curtains to the floor. For curtains to the floor take a length of at least 250 cm. Effectively look curtains, slightly creeping along the floor. To the bottom of the product does not swell, it can be decorated with a fringe with tassels, appliqués, embroidery.

Veil curtains can be used not only as a window drapery, but also for the decoration of the arch-entrance to the room. If the curtains suggest the presence of lambrequin, they must be hung on three-row cornices.At first (the first row from the window) a veil curtain is hung, then night curtains and at the end a pelmet. It is attached to the curtain tape.

In the presence of a tubular cornice, the veil can be mounted on clips and magnets.
