In determining the required size is better to follow the following recommendations.

• Length may be different, depending on the characteristics of the bedroom premises, layout and design solutions. At low ceilings it is recommended to use tulle in the full height of the room. This will help to visually raise the ceiling.
• The curtain can be much longer than the height of the room. and lay down on the floor in soft folds, which creates an additional decorative effect. However, it is not recommended to use this technique in rooms with low ceilings.
• Short tulle length to the window sill extremely rarely used in decorating the bedroom.
• In general, to determine the height of the canvas It is necessary to measure the distance from the eaves to the floor and add the necessary margin to the top mount (approximately 10-20 cm, depending on the method of fixing) and hem (10-15 cm).

• The width depends mainly on the design decision. and from the fabric used. Usually, to get a beautiful drapery, it is recommended to measure the length of the eaves and multiply the resulting value by two. For more intense folds, the width of the canvas may be three or more widths of the cornice. It should be borne in mind that dense fabrics are draped worse, and softer (veil) lends itself to drapery.

When choosing tulle curtains, in addition to the decorative effect, attention should be paid to the practicality aspects described above.

The choice of tissue density largely depends on the degree of insolation of the room and the need for its darkening.

The method of attachment also depends on the mode of use of the curtains. In a room with a balcony, it is better to choose traditional types of fasteners that allow you to move the canvas aside with little effort.In this case, it is also better to abandon the use of complex structures with numerous pickups, while in practical use the folds will get off and the curtains may look sloppy.

Even a very ordinary bedroom with traditional walnut furniture can be turned into a cozy corner for relaxation and solitude, if you choose a beautiful and harmonious tulle.
