Thick curtains are designed to protect the room from street light when a person is sleeping. Thinner lace draperies only prevent prying eyes directed out the window. Many people decide to hang tulle in a child's room - a canvas that matches the interior style decorates the room, instilling in the child a sense of taste.
Light, airy curtains have not lost their popularity for decades, and modern design solutions allow you to create a complete image of a room for a child of any age.
Features of tulle in the interior of a nursery
Modern tulle for a children's room is not a sad white fabric with lace, but a huge variety of colors, textures, and materials. Today's draperies are not always made monochromatic - they are decorated with smooth gradients, fantastic fish, butterflies, flowers, cartoon and fairy-tale characters.
Safety is the main criterion for choosing curtains for a children's room. Organza or veil repel dust; it is better to avoid mesh curtains
For children's rooms, it is recommended to use natural, smooth fabrics that do not electrify and do not accumulate dust.
Summing up

Classic curtains are made three or more shades darker than tulle. Curtains protect the room from street light so that the baby can sleep during the day, while tulle lets in the sun's rays, hiding the inhabitants from prying eyes outside the window.

Duet with Roman and roller blinds
The combination of tulle with Roman or roller blinds has become very popular when decorating windows in children's rooms and beyond. This combination saves space and is very convenient to use. There are many reasons to take advantage of such a modern design.
- Easy installation and dismantling. There is no need to drill into the walls for the cornice; roll models are installed on the window frame using adhesive tape.
- Grown-up children will easily be able to independently adjust the height of the curtain and even take care of it.
- Possibility to adjust the required level of room illumination.
- Such models can be selected individually according to the size of your window.
- A variety of colors allows you to make an individual choice.
- Roman and roller blinds will serve as additional darkening during the daytime.

The principle of operation of Roman and roller curtains is the same, but they are still different. When raised, Roman roller blinds form accordion-like folds, while roller blinds are wound around a round shaft, and when raised remain virtually invisible.
In combination with tulle, Roman and roller blinds look very nice and functional. During the day, it is a single tulle that beautifully diffuses the light; at night, lowered curtains create coziness and set the mood for sleep.
Tulle without curtains
The use of tulle without thick curtains is also acceptable - usually such drapery is made multi-layered, when closed, perfectly blocking the light rays penetrating from the street.

Proper care
Curtains in a nursery should be washed regularly.
- After removal from the cornice, the tulle is shaken out of dust outside and soaked by adding baking soda to the water (1 tablespoon per bucket). Soak for 2-4 hours.
- After this, wash by hand in warm water with the addition of detergents for delicate fabrics. The curtains are lightly wrung out and allowed to drain.
- Rinse the products several times until the water runs clear. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the last rinse for shine.
- Dry the tulle by hanging it on the cornice.
Versatile, practical, elegant, tulle can transform your child’s room in an instant. It brings the festive atmosphere of a good fairy tale into the house and encourages children to imagine and create.

Choosing a color palette
Modern tulle is made in almost any color - from snow-white to blue-black, from crimson to neon blue. It is permissible to combine two or three curtains of different colors if the room is not too colorful.
The choice of fabric density depends on the location of the room relative to the cardinal points. For southern windows, the curtain is selected denser, for northern windows - thinner and lighter
Bright colors
The brightest shades are acceptable, but you should not decorate the entire curtain with them - it is better to combine two different colors. Suitable colors are bright yellow, orange, purple, pumpkin, lemon green, azure, light Titian, golden, cherry. It is recommended to avoid excessively bright, “acidic” colors - they are harmful to the eyes and cause anxiety in children.
Shades of yellow lift your spirits and stimulate the learning process
Dark colors
Tulle with stars is made in a dark color for the nursery. The main tone here is dark blue, purple, rich burgundy, slate gray, purple-black. The stars are made golden, silver, creamy white.

Light colors
Light tulle is apricot, mint cream, apple, beige, silver blue, thistle, lime, aquamarine, pistachio, lilac. Pure white tones are not recommended - they are too easily soiled, which is especially not practical when children are small and there are many of them.
Turquoise tulle is suitable for both boys and girls
Sewing tips
Many housewives sew their own tulle curtains. This is an easy and fun job that requires minimal skills. For transparent material, complex cutting is usually not used. The fabric is good at creating weightless, airy waves. This effect ensures the correct calculation of the amount of material: if the product is attached to the cornice using curtain tape, the tulle is taken twice the length of the cornice. For curtains with ties or loops, the material is taken along the length of the cornice..
The length of the fabric is determined as follows: the distance from the upper border of the window to the window sill or to the floor is measured (depending on the design of the product). To this value you should add 10 cm for the hem.
Mark the measurements with small pencil strokes on the fabric placed on a non-slip surface.
All work on cutting and cutting the material is carried out with sharp scissors.
The side seams are processed with a thread of the appropriate color on a sewing machine. When attaching a double fold, do not stretch the fabric to avoid small waves. For beginning craftswomen, we recommend that you first baste the edges by hand.
The fold of the top edge should be twice as wide as the side. Processed in the same way.
After this, curtain braid is sewn on to obtain even folds in the future, or ties or loops are attached.
Before processing the bottom of the product, it is recommended to check the same length of the fabric.
Sewing the curtains is completed by processing the bottom seam and optional decoration.
Tulle size options for children's
The tulle is made very short, elongated, or has differences in length if we are talking about a room with a balcony. In corner rooms, drapery is hung on two windows at once, in a bay window - on all of them at the same time. It is important that the width of the material exceeds the dimensions of the window by 15-20 cm on each side.
- Short.
Any tulle is short for a nursery, and has a maximum length up to the level of the window sill. This type of curtain will prevent a curious child from getting entangled in it and getting injured. The lower edge of such a curtain is decorated with embroidery, lace, and fringe. The design is suitable for the “cafe” style - the curtains cover the window from the middle of the opening to the level of the window sill. Short curtains up to the window sill are usually used in rooms for small children. - Long. Extended curtain options reach the floor and are usually made straight. It is not permissible for the folds to “lie” on the latter - the product will get very dirty, it is easy to step on it and fall.
Long tulle is often used to decorate the windows of a room in a classic style.
Mounting features
Baby tulle is attached to curtain rods in several ways.
In girls' rooms, curtains are usually attached using:
- Curtain tape. A special braid is attached to the upper edge of the canvas. Its gathering creates soft, even waves. This type of fastening is suitable for careful owners; if handled insufficiently carefully, it can break.
- Large loops made of dense, contrasting or matching fabric. The loops are fastened with decorative buttons. For mobile children, you can use buttons that simply unfasten if the child suddenly pulls the curtain down. They will preserve the integrity of the structure and the health of the baby.
- Ties that turn into elegant bows on the cornice and add special coquetry and femininity to the little princess’s room.
In boys' rooms, curtains with eyelets - metal or plastic rings sewn into the fabric - look stylish and modern. Such models have a clear geometric shape that gives the room a certain rhythm. The curtains with eyelets are very strong, they will not tear if a child gets tangled in them. Such products require reinforced fastening of the cornice.
Choice of style
The children's room is usually decorated in the same style as everyone else. Classic and modern, Provence and Scandinavian, shabby chic and retro, futurism and marine are suitable.
Modern style
Drapery in a modern style is bright and multi-colored. The most interesting option is “rainbow” tulle, which combines five to seven colors at the same time, as well as with gradient transitions and plain embroidery.

A modern interpretation of the classic style allows you to decorate the windows with one tulle
Nautical
A marine theme is ideal for a boy's room. Here blue, light blue, turquoise draperies are used, laid in all kinds of folds; images of dolphins and ships are acceptable.

This style is used to decorate one of the most popular interior options for girls - a princess or Barbie room. The tulle here will be soft pink, violet in color, multi-layered, replete with folds, decorated with textile flowers and butterflies, tassels and tiebacks.
Almost any preschool girl will like this window design.
The history of the creation of granza fabric
Initially, the fabric was made from natural silk, which in itself leads us to the conclusion that fabric has always been an item of wealth and luxury.
Accordingly, due to the cost of the material, the price was high and the manufacturer began to replace silk with other fabrics that look no worse, and some cannot even be distinguished from silk.
Now organza is created using artificial silk, viscose, and polyester.
Photos of examples of children's room design with tulle

Popular options include images of Spider-Man and rescue puppies, Smeshariki and princesses, Hello Kitty and the Little Mermaid, Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse. French and Austrian tulle curtains in delicate shades and straight curtains with small flowers flowing from the ceiling cornice look beautiful here.

Curtains with photo printing
Photo printing on curtains is another fashionable trend in modern interior design. Ready-made photo tulle with images of favorite children's characters, photographs of fairy-tale cities, wonders of the world, scenes from cartoons, and beautiful landscapes is widely available for sale. In addition, you can order exclusive curtains of your own design in a special workshop and not limit your imagination to a standard pattern on curtains. For example, transfer the own creation of a young owner or nursery owner onto fabric.
Due to the fact that the tulle has a transparent texture, the image on it seems to be illuminated and creates the illusion of its volume and perspective. As for the quality of photographic images, they are applied to the fabric with durable and health-safe paints that do not fade in the sun or fade when washed. Therefore, curtains with photo printing are distinguished not only by their exclusive design, but also by their durability.
When decorating a nursery with photo tulle, it is important to understand that it will inevitably become the main accent in the interior. Therefore, if the shading created with the help of such curtains seems insufficient to you, combine them with plain long curtains in soft light colors or dark but muted colors. Colorful and bright partner curtains will draw attention to themselves and the image on the tulle will be lost in their frame.
