Making out the window in the bedroom, it is advisable to adhere to some rules that will avoid many mistakes and make the bedroom cozy:

• In a small bedroom it will be better to look with plain curtains in light colors or white. Fabric with a pattern will attract attention, and in a small room to focus on the window is not worth it. But there is an exception: a horizontal strip on the fabric will help to expand the space, provided that it coincides with the style of the bedroom itself.
• Complicated drapery and pelmets are also better not to allow, making out the room. Folds and flounces visually reduce the space and make small windows even smaller, so simple shapes are more preferable.The absence of a large number of flounces will help compensate for the asymmetry of the lines.
• Ceiling cornice will be, by the way, if the room has a low ceiling. Thanks to him, the room will seem higher, and to expand the space it is better if the eaves are wall to wall. With an asymmetrical arrangement of the window, you can hang a cornice with an angular approach and a slight extension on the adjacent wall.
• If the ceiling in the bedroom is suspended, then the eaves can be hidden in the niche of the ceiling. Thanks to this design, the bedroom will expand visually, and using soft flowing fabric as curtains will give the interior a light, airy look.

The style of the bedroom involves the presence of curtains in harmony with the interior. Each style has its own characteristics and nuances, given that you can achieve excellent results.

• For the classic style fit curtains of thick fabric of maximum length, coupled with translucent tulle. The color of the curtains should be a little darker than the translucent fabric - literally 2-3 tones. This combination will help visually increase not only the size of the window, but also the entire bedroom as a whole.In addition to the classic curtains in a bedroom fit Roman or Austrian versions.

• Curtains in high-tech style should be in silver or blue color and it is better if they are attached to the eaves with eyelets or loops. The main thing is that the shade is not too dark, so as not to visually reduce the space of the bedroom.

• Very often, a room designed for a bedroom is designed in a modern style. Curtains for this style have smooth lines and soft pastel colors.

• Country style, provides for the presence of curtains made from natural fabrics. Linen or cotton of light shades will not only help to emphasize the style of the room, but also visually add to the bedroom light and air.

Very carefully in small rooms you need to use different prints and patterns on the curtains. If there are already various patterns in the bedroom, it is better if the curtains are plain and in the same color scheme with decoration. If the interior of the room is monophonic, then a low-key, blurred ornament is quite acceptable.As the pattern on the curtains will look good wide stripes. The smaller ones are not exactly suitable for a small bedroom.

Dark curtains can be used in a small bedroom if the interior contains elements of the same color, for example, a bedspread on the bed or a carpet on the floor. In addition, the dark versions should be with a lifting mechanism.

If you really want to give the original look to the curtains, then you can decorate not the curtains themselves, but the cornice. The main thing is that all the elements of the decor are in harmony with the overall style of the bedroom.
