Recommendations for selection
When deciding which curtains are suitable for the bedroom, you need to take into account that for shaded rooms it is best to choose curtains made of very thin material so that it lets in as much natural light as possible. If the windows face the sunny side, then it is better to pay attention to products made of dense textiles.
For example, blackout material or other fabrics with a dense weave of threads that will block aggressive ultraviolet radiation and keep the room pleasantly cool.
Curtains of a laconic design without additional decorative elements look good in small rooms. This way the space will not look overloaded and cramped.
If a fairly bright room has a window with a bay window, then it is best to use French or Roman curtains made of thin fabrics, and curtains are suitable for decorating the side parts.
What shades are suitable
When choosing the shade of curtains for a bright bedroom, the following nuances are usually taken into account:
- How do the curtains fit with other textiles in the room? For example, silk products should be in harmony with the bedspread and decorative pillows.
- Furniture color. Another important factor. If the furniture is made of natural wood, then the canvases should be in warm colors: plain or with a discreet pattern. If the furniture is white, the curtains can be the same color or have bright, rich tones to create a beautiful contrasting transition.
- Wall decoration. Curtains two shades darker are usually combined with light wallpaper or plaster. Beige, golden, blue with a gray tint and other colors will also look good.

Dark curtains for a bright bedroom
Cloths of burgundy, deep blue, ultramarine, and olive are considered dark; as well as purple, brown and other colors. They will look best in rooms with high ceilings and a minimum of furniture. They will turn a small room into a closet. Also, such accessories will reliably protect you from the bright morning sun, recreating the desired twilight in the room. With light walls and furniture (white, beige, cream, lemon) a beautiful and harmonious contrast will be created.

In a business office interior, white furnishings look cold. Designers try to choose the most positive fabrics for them, because excessive minimalism quickly tires the psyche. Dilute minimalism with unusual attributes (paintings, statues) - fabrics should match the main colors of the decor.

Combinations with other colors
Before choosing curtains for your bedroom, you should analyze their combination with the decor. Light shades of walls and furniture will create a harmonious tandem with turquoise decor. But the contrasting color should only set off the main one, emphasizing its advantages. White tulle can be paired with different neutral tones (for example, gray or beige).
The white color itself has a lot of different shades, to which you can choose curtains and tulles of various colors: from pastel to rich and deep. When choosing, colors and decor styles (watches, figurines, bedspreads, pillows, mirror frames) are also taken into account.
If the room is decorated in beige color
A typical mistake is to purchase curtains to match the pastel wallpaper. Such a neutral palette will completely simplify the interior. Use beige coverings as a background and place contrasting bright curtains on it. In this case, drawings, ornaments and accessories would be appropriate. It is recommended to select curtains based on color temperature. Light beige looks good with thick white, burgundy, brown, and gray colors. It can be combined with red and orange, as well as all shades of wheat yellow.

Materials
The following fabrics are used for sewing curtains:
- Cotton: a natural material characterized by environmental friendliness and light texture. But such fabric wrinkles easily, and after washing it can shrink noticeably.
- Linen: Another natural material that does not absorb dust. Such textiles have an interesting texture, can be plain or with patterns, and have the same disadvantages as cotton.
- Blackout: textiles with tightly woven threads that make long-lasting opaque curtains.
- Silk: the material repels dust particles. It is better to buy curtains with an additional lining that will protect the delicate silk from fading.
- Veil: weightless and thin material that does not block the penetration of light into the room. Can be used alone or complement heavier curtains in a variety of shades.
