The main thing is that tulle should not visually conceal an already small space.

When choosing such a tulle, it is worth bearing in mind the difference between the size of the windows and the door: if it is large, you need to align it with direct curtains in the form of walls made of smooth panels. In addition, the tulle must be combined with items of available furniture and decoration (up to the slopes and flooring), as well as the curtains of the window and balcony door.

It is important that it does not impede access to the door, let in air, does not accumulate dust, is easy to clean and does not deform during the washing and ironing process.

Tulle for a balcony is a universal design technique, with its help you can change the style of a small special room at home.Being a beautiful clothing of windows and doors, it can set the tone for the style and emphasize its idea, be the main focus of the balcony or a smoothing touch connecting individual interior items. By means of tulle it is possible to regulate the direction of a light stream, blocking the hot summer sun.

This window accessory has a different shape: depending on the design, it can be classic straight, semi-circular, in the form of a vertical bow with a tie at the center, single-layered or lush multi-layered with additional ruffles along the top, bottom and sides. It goes well with air textile blinds.

Despite the beautiful appearance, whatever the chosen tulle, it darkens the balcony, which causes less light to enter the room. Taking all the sun's rays on himself, he gradually fade, which is especially scary for colored curtains. Therefore, the choice of shade should be solid (for example, curtains with pink tulle after some time will turn yellow in places of greater solar activity).

Tulle, decorating the balcony door of the kitchen, has its own characteristics: it is made of material resistant to moisture and soot.Such an accessory has a persistent dye, some density and is able to withstand repeated washing without losing the original color and appearance.

Window decoration with a balcony door

Regardless of the type of balcony (loggia), it is important to take into account the peculiarities of the use of space, the design of window and door frames when making out. Every little thing matters: the distance between the windows, the features of the opening mechanism. It should be borne in mind:

the small distance between the top of the frame and the ceiling does not provide for the eaves (the window will open problematically);
windows from the ceiling will not allow to hang a model of tulle without a cornice (fixing is impossible);
if the windows are opened by means of a folding mechanism, there is no need to buy roll-type tulle that opens vertically (opening problem);
the length of the curtains should not create difficulties when opening windows;
with a wide window sill, it is worthwhile to pick up a short tulle, ending at the level of the window sill or a few centimeters higher (so as not to fix the eaves at the level of the ledge of the window sill, reducing the area of space);

long tulle can be hung where in a gust of wind it will not cling to any interior accessories, causing them to fall (in the kitchen should not touch the stove or sink);
with a full glazed balcony, in which the frame does not have a gap, short curtains are inappropriate and look ugly;
if the balcony area is small, the windows can be decorated with small curtains, separate for each frame, and they are comfortable, practical and do not depend on the way the windows are opened;
the curtains should not be fluttered, touching light objects that can fall to the floor and break when touched.

However, the reasonableness of the installation does not mean a strict framework of the balcony decor: knowing the details of the frame and door arrangement, it will be easier and easier to decorate the room. In addition, it will help to buy the correct version of tulle, which does not have to be thrown away or altered to fit the window frames. Convenience of tulle is compatibility with different window textiles.

Due to this, you can arrange the windows in different ways (for example, by alternating, decorating one with air tulle and another with a curtain, connecting textiles by means of decorative elements in the form of ties, ruffles, frills).

Color solution

When choosing tulle on the balcony window or balcony door, it is important to keep in mind: color is an important factor, because not everything that you like on the shop counter will look good in a particular type of room.

If you need to decorate the window with a beautiful tulle, you should stick to the light range of tones, combining the selected shades with white, which is appropriate everywhere and saturates the balcony room with light.

However, if the design provides for a certain color and strict lines, you should not overload the balcony windows with an abundance of colors. Light-colored shades are often self-sufficient and do not need companions.

If possible, dark colors should be avoided. The only place where they are relevant is small accents in the form of vertical strips-delimiters or patterns of tulle coloring.

The nuances of editing

If, when buying a tulle, all the subtleties of its installation are observed (what the advice of experienced salespeople can help), it will not be difficult to hang it on windows or a balcony door:

A purchased classic easily takes its due position on a ceiling or wall cornice. Today, the popular design of tulle is double fastening curtains (to the top and bottom of the frame). This eliminates drafts and blowing of tulle in the open window with a strong wind. Moreover, such a window design looks very neat and harmonious.

Another advantage of this attachment is practicality: the tulle will not wipe the windowsill,on which dust constantly accumulates, and this will delay the moment of washing, prolonging the neatness of the curtains.

There can be no talk of fastening to the frames themselves: this is inconvenient, wrong and requires additional holes with a violation of the integrity of the frames themselves. This makes it difficult to open windows. In addition, if the "craftsmen" subsequently want to change the design of the curtains, there will be unsightly holes.

It is much more expedient to stick the tulle, using modern Velcro fasteners, which are Velcro, located directly on the tulle itself and the place of fixation (wall or in extreme cases the glazing itself).

Such curtains will not be able to be pushed aside, however, the mount itself is quite strong and perfectly helps out in the design of rooms with a minimum of space between the ceiling and the frame.

Care instructions

To tulle served for a long time, without losing the attractiveness of the original look, you should take note of a few tips that simplify the care of him.

This accessory:
