Chiffon
It has a fairly low price, but at the same time it looks noble. It has a beautiful matte finish, which makes it look very dignified in the interior.
Material selection
Before choosing which sleeping tulle is better, you need to evaluate the qualities of different materials:
Organza - the fabric is lightweight and transparent, but it is extremely durable. Viscose, polyester, and natural silk are used in production. Rhinestones, appliques, painting, and embroidery are used for decoration.
Voile is a softer cotton-type fabric with a plain weave. It is similar to gauze, but significantly surpasses it in decorative properties, as can be seen in the photo of tulle for the bedroom.
Viscose is a synthetic fabric. It is characterized by low durability, but is often used in decoration. Typically, wear resistance is increased by polyester and polyester.
Tulle has a mesh structure and is characterized by increased rigidity. The texture is brighter with a dense thread weave and the use of mesh. Used for appliqués and tulle finishing.
What types are most popular in the bedroom?
Many options allow you to choose the most suitable window decor for your existing interior.
Net
Practical and multifunctional. With its help you can create an unusual window image. Tulle mesh is used to allow a large amount of light into the room.
Cobweb
It is made from materials that are resistant to fading, so it does not lose its appearance for a long time. The cobweb will give the window an amazing look and a special atmosphere will reign in the room.
Rain
Indescribably light and airy. Such a sophisticated and stylish accessory will transform the room and bring charm and elegance to it.
Double
It will organically complement the interior and become a key decorative element. Proper combination of double curtains will emphasize the completeness and completeness of the bedroom design.
A little history and grammar
Light translucent fabric was invented back in the 15th century by weavers in the French city of Tulle. The king's bride wanted to have a thin fabric, behind which only her silhouette would be visible, and it would be impossible to recognize her. To fulfill her wish, the king issued a corresponding decree, and the Tulle weavers carried it out. The fabric turned out to be very beautiful, so a dress was made from it for the future queen, and the fabric itself began to be called by the name of the city in which it was invented - tulle.
Tulle first appeared in the 15th century in France.
Now a little about grammar. The word “tulle” is masculine in French, and accordingly, in Russian it retains its gender. Therefore, it is correct to say “tulle is he.” Use in the feminine gender - by analogy with the word "fabric" - is incorrect. In some regions this thin fabric is called "curtains". The origin of the word is different, but it refers to the same type of fabric.
Tulle sizes
When choosing the length, not only aesthetic qualities are taken into account, but also functional ones.
Short
Tulle curtains up to the window sill create coziness in the room, making it more spacious and lighter, which is especially important for small bedrooms.
Long
This length is especially suitable for large rooms. Curtains made of light flowing material on the ceiling cornice will highlight the window opening and make it the accent of the bedroom.

How not to make a mistake with the size of the canvas when purchasing
Good tulle is not cheap, so when buying it you need to clearly know what footage is needed . If you purchase more fabric than necessary, the excess, of course, can be trimmed, but this will be money thrown away. But if you buy fewer meters, the situation will be much more difficult to correct and you may have to purchase curtains again, and this will be very expensive.
- First, you should find out the dimensions of the window and cornice and the desired length of the finished curtains. If the design involves tulle up to the window sill, then when purchasing, you should add hem allowances at the top and bottom to the expected length.
- Long tulle should be no higher than 3 cm above the floor level, otherwise the curtains will look ugly and appear scanty.
- The width of the curtains is determined by the length of the cornice - usually it is multiplied by 2, which will allow for soft folds. Rarely, when abundant drapery is expected, 3 lengths of cornice are taken. Patterned or muslin tulle usually assumes a smooth fabric.
- If the curtains are designed in two layers, then the part that will serve as the background is draped, while the decorative part remains a smooth canvas without folds.
If the bedroom has low ceilings, you should be very careful when choosing the length of the curtains so as not to disturb the harmony in the room. For example, tulle up to the window sill will narrow the room vertically even more, and long curtains with a strip along the fabric will visually “raise” the ceiling.
Design options in various styles
The appearance of tulle will also depend on the style of the overall design of the room.
Provence
The lightness of tulle curtains will add tenderness and soft light to the interior in the Provence style. Combining with different shades and textures, they will fit perfectly into the room and gracefully highlight its appearance.
Classical
In a classic interior, curtains will become a relevant and stylish solution. Tulle made of light and thin textiles with minimal decor will give the bedroom an even more presentable look.

Modern
Curtains in a modern style should be laconic and minimalistic. Most often, a translucent veil is used to decorate windows, which is perfect for such a fashionable interior design.

How to create folds in tulle
Draping is a real art; you can achieve beautiful folds in several ways:
- Curtain tape.
- Clips, magnets and garters that create beautiful horizontal folds, giving the tulle increased airiness.
- A thick thread or cord, threaded along the tulle curtains, gathers them into semicircular, light folds.
- Eyelets that can turn the simplest and most ordinary tulle into an original decorative element. They are metal or plastic rings inserted into the fabric at equal intervals. The greater the distance from one eyelet to another, the deeper the folds.
Window decoration is an important procedure in the process of decorating the interior design of a bedroom; it is important to think through every detail. It is better to choose tulle curtains together with curtains, even at the renovation stage, when the concept of the future room is clear. You need to start from the color schemes used in the room and the general style of the apartment or house and be sure to take into account the fact that the bedroom is a room in which there should be a relaxing and relaxing atmosphere.

Current colors of curtains for the bedroom
The color scheme will depend on many factors, because the curtains should be pleasing to the eye, harmoniously combine with the furniture and the color of the walls, meet the personal preferences of the owners and take into account the degree of illumination and the geographical location of the room. The best options still promise to be natural colors, for example, a green palette.
An almost universal solution is white, milky, cream and light beige curtains - they do not pull the emphasis on themselves and diffuse the color well.
Lavender, ash pink, soft blue will create a romantic mood, but rich shades are suitable for classic design: dark blue, purple, burgundy and chocolate.
As for patterns on curtains, you can stick to proven geometric and floral prints.
It is worth paying attention to fashionable curtains with a spectacular 3D pattern. Such curtains create a solid composition that can depict flowers, animals or unusually naturalistic landscapes that expand the space. Such curtains can become the main highlight of the interior.
Simple plain curtains also have a right to exist; moreover, in 2022 they will be incredibly popular.
Bright interior
Still, there are some points due to which white color in the interior is always in trend! Many people love it, and it is used in many homes, regardless of the chosen interior style. The main advantages of white include openness, cleanliness and brightness, whether on the floor or ceiling.
He is able to play with light so interestingly that the atmosphere is created not only white, but also yellow, and visually the space looks very spacious.
If you decide to choose white curtains, conduct a thorough analysis of the interior of your own bedroom. White can be cold or warm. Shades like ivory, alabaster, parchment, and egg shell are very popular.
Stylish beige
It happens that beige and its various shades are simply not paid much attention when choosing finishing materials. But with the help of its warm range, deep shades are complemented. If you choose curtains for your bedroom interior in soft shades, they will harmonize perfectly with the cool shades on the walls, and the room will look very elegant and impressive. In the modern design method, beige and gray are used, where the second is the background.
If the bedroom is spacious and large, the curtains can be dark, contrasting with the wall materials. If they are in the same color scheme, and always light, the room will visually look larger.
Blue color for health
Despite the fact that many people love this color, they do not always risk using it in the design of rooms. After all, it can make the room look cold and uninviting. Although, if the design is done correctly, you can be convinced of the comfort of a fresh, relaxing environment. In this case, it is very important to choose exactly the shade that suits you, and it should also be combined with other interior elements.
Curtains should be chosen in cool blue shades to create a “fresh” space. If you choose warm shades, then the windows should face the northern part of the world.
Blue is the color of the sea with air, it is positive, alive. Decorating your bedroom in blue shades will help ensure that your sleep is healthy and relaxed. Since visually blue curtains can increase space, it is quite reasonable to use them in small bedrooms, as well as in the case of small windows. Blue helps organize thoughts and calm the psyche. This option is simply ideal for decorating a children's room, and even more so if the baby is quite active.
Green tones
This shade is great for bedrooms that are decorated with a maximum of three different colors. It is worth considering that in bedrooms people not only sleep, there are also couples for love, which means comfort must be a must. Because men and women are different, and this manifests itself in interior design. In this case, green will be a great compromise. After all, it is neutral and acts like a good sedative. By the way, as in other options, it also has the most successful shades for decorating bedrooms, namely: lime, green tea, olive, brown/yellow, emerald, malachite, pistachio color.
For example, against the background of very dark furniture, even black, the greens will not be too pronounced. But, if the set is made in light variations, then the game of contrasts will only benefit. If the room's windows face north, a pastel shade of curtains would be an excellent choice.
Red tones
For those who love bright colors, red in the bedroom will be an excellent option, despite the fact that it has a somewhat aggressive effect on a person’s mental and emotional state. But in fact, there is a rich variety of red shades!
According to the designers' recommendations, it is still worth alternating red with various options of neutral, light shades. It is important that it blends harmoniously with the main interior of the room. You can see options for such designs in the selection of our photos. The ideal option for decorating a bedroom using red is dark red in the curtains, and the bed is forged, on which there will be expensive textiles of exactly the same color!
However, there are still some nuances in the design of the color scheme that you should be aware of. So, girls with light blonde hair look great against a blue or lavender background. Brunettes are decorated with peach or pink, but also lavender. People with very rosy cheeks will not wear green. As for yellow, they should not be used to decorate a bedroom, even though it can invigorate and perfectly lift the mood.
Options for attaching to the cornice
You can conveniently and beautifully hang tulle on a cornice in different ways, for example, using loops, drawstring, braid, Velcro or ties, but the most popular are the mounting options listed below.
Eyelets
They are made from a variety of materials and are great for such lightweight fabrics. This simple option for mounting on a cornice, in combination with tulle, looks very original.
Rings
A variety of rings, differing in diameter, shape and size, are considered a very convenient and decorative way to attach curtains.
A beautiful and practical solution - choosing fabric for curtains
Modern light industry offers an incredible range of possible fabrics, differing in structure, color and composition, but the most popular will be fabrics made from natural fibers. It can be linen, chintz, satin, natural tulle, silk, satin.

The suitability of a material for sewing curtains depends on several factors, among which the most important are:
- compound;
- density;
- weight;
- ability to drape;
- wear resistance;
- care requirements;
- external aesthetic qualities.
High quality fabrics have a high density, drape well and retain their presentable appearance for a long time. In order not to make a mistake with the purchase of fabric for curtains, look at the material against the light, check for creasing, look at the entire fabric for uniformity of coloring and preservation of the design, printing or embroidery.
In order to get an impression of the fabric’s ability to drape, it is enough to unwind a couple of meters of the material and collect the folds. Low-quality fabric stretches easily, the threads come apart at the seams, and even after careful ironing, such material looks untidy and wrinkled.
Be sure to learn about how to care for the fabric. Depending on the origin of the fibers (natural, synthetic or mixtures thereof) that make up the material, there are different ways to care for it. Nowadays, the most popular fabrics are made from mixed fibers; they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Silk, velvet, and organza retain their appearance well if dry cleaned, but cotton varieties, chintz and most types of polyester can be machine washed on normal cycles.
Cotton.
Fabrics based on cotton fibers are excellent for window decoration in a wide variety of stylistic manifestations. The material made from the cotton plant is durable and wear-resistant, it is easy to dye, and it is easy to apply a printed design on it. Cotton fabrics often have artificial impurities that help improve the technological qualities of the finished product. Cotton material can have different densities, weave textures, it drapes well, conducts heat and protects from sunlight. But cotton also has its disadvantages - it is very susceptible to the influence of sunlight, paint and printed patterns fade quite quickly. If your windows face south or southwest, you will need to get a lining for cotton curtains, otherwise you will soon have to think about changing your window decor.
Linen.
Fabrics made from linen fibers are also strong and durable. But linen is much stiffer than cotton and has an original structure, which is why it is loved by many designers and homeowners around the world. Linen material holds tight folds well and is great for making fabric blinds or pleated curtains. But the higher the content of natural linen fibers in the fabric, the easier it will wrinkle, the more difficult it will be to iron. But many designers suggest not ironing linen curtains at all in order to demonstrate the naturalness of the fabric and give the room a slight carelessness, rural motifs and an obvious closeness to nature (if we are talking about decorating a bedroom located in a country house). Fabrics made from linen fibers are also susceptible to direct sunlight, quickly fade and deteriorate (lining is required).
Beautiful two-room designs here.
Silk.
As everyone knows, silk fibers are a waste product of the silkworm. Fabrics with silk threads are great for creating window draperies. This material is not cheap, but the high cost is compensated by the beautiful appearance of the picturesque folds and flowing coattails. In addition, silk fabric is strong and durable, practically does not wrinkle and is easily dyed and printed. But most types of silk fabrics are dry clean only.
Synthetic fabrics
. Synthetic fabrics usually include not only artificially created materials, but also mixtures with natural products. It is the presence of artificial fibers that enriches the fabric with such properties as elasticity, strength and water resistance. The most popular curtain fabrics include:
- acetate;
- nylon;
- viscose;
- polyester.
Synthetic fabrics are easy to care for, but it is important to remember that they must be ironed at a low temperature, otherwise the fibers may simply melt. But most modern synthetic materials can even do without ironing if they have been dried flat.
A practical solution would be curtains treated with special impregnations, so they repel dust and dirt. They are especially good on windows facing the road.
Non-standard windows
Such extraordinary windows can be perfectly complemented with beautiful tulle curtains.
Arched
Simple tulle curtains with original drapery will effectively highlight the unusual shape of the window and become an unexpected and interesting design object.
The photo shows a bedroom and arched windows with light white curtains.
With balcony door
Delicate and weightless curtains are perfect for decorating a window opening with a balcony door. Such a lightweight design looks neat and stylish, takes up virtually no space and gives the bedroom interior a touch of elegance.
Attic
Curtains for roof windows are a complex and unique window design option. Tulle gives roof windows a more aesthetically pleasing, finished look and makes the attic space cozy.
Long
Translucent floor-length curtains are presented as one continuous sheet or consist of two halves. However, windows are often decorated with a large number of curtains - for example, three or four narrow canvases.
This fashionable technique is very practical, because it provides easy access to the window that you probably open sometimes. And curtains of different shades will also help create a single color ensemble, for example, as in these photos.
The shape of the curtains resembles a rectangle, square, semicircle and triangle. Two or three of these types make very original combinations. Asymmetrical tulle is now especially relevant and convenient for decorating rooms with a balcony door.
Important: when choosing curtains, keep in mind that complex voluminous patterns on curtains do not look best in rooms with a large number of objects and decor.
Tulle can be plain, with patterns, ornaments, three-dimensional patterns or photo printing. The color of the curtains usually harmonizes with the walls, floor, bedspread, pillows, upholstery, lampshades and other interior items. With such a huge selection of curtains, you can easily choose a plain tulle that matches your interior.
But there are two more ways to create color harmony - curtains with an ornament (pattern) and accessories, a section about which awaits you ahead. Patterns are often located only at the bottom of the tulle, which can be wavy, angular, fringed, frilled, etc.
If we talk about curtains with photo printing, many designers claim that they will remain a thing of the past. But why not admire a forest landscape or a waterfall, especially if the rest of the furnishings are not full of different colors. Another achievement of civilization - luminous curtains - an excellent window decoration on the eve of the holidays.
The image on curtains is often duplicated on other home textiles in the same, as well as enlarged or reduced form. Small splashes of color and raised patterns on a translucent background can simply match the overall tone or individual bedroom items, as in these photos.
However, if you want, complement the tulle with candles, cute night lights, and other little things - the main thing is that you like it.
If you are interested in current colors, we are ready to share the information we have collected on this matter.
Combining tulle
An effective combination of the airy aesthetics of curtains with other window decor brings individuality to the interior.
Lambrequin
The combination of curtains with a hard or soft lambrequin allows you to create a unique atmosphere of comfort and elegant style in the room.
Curtain (thick curtain)
The best option for the bedroom. Thin tulle and heavy curtains in your favorite colors make the room complete and make it easy to regulate the intensity of sunlight in the room.
The photo shows a bedroom and a combination of curtains and drapes on the windows.
Roman curtain
A beautiful combination of Roman blinds with tulle gives the window an unusual look and attracts the eye.
Textiles (bedspread, pillows)
Tulle is also combined with bedspreads or decorative pillows. If there is a pattern on the curtains, it can harmonize with the textile pattern on the bed.
The photo shows a combination of patterned tulle with textiles in the bedroom.
What else should you consider when choosing
There are some peculiarities when buying tulle for a bedroom without curtains. Since here the curtain takes on a double function, it must be thick enough to cover what is happening in the room from strangers in the dark. If there is no such need, you can give preference to any fabrics.
At the same time, using tulle without curtains makes it possible to experiment with complex drapery. For example, combinations of tulle cuts of different colors, assembled by layering or weaving.
Consequently, a person choosing tulle for a bedroom is presented with a variety of options, differing in material, color, texture and decor. At the same time, the purchase of curtains is determined by the size of the room and the style used to decorate it. The air and light transmission properties of the material, the ability to accumulate dust, as well as its other performance characteristics are taken into account separately.
Recommendations for choosing tulle for the bedroom
A few tips for choosing wisely:
- To create a gentle and cozy atmosphere in the bedroom, you should use more neutral and soft shades, such as beige, milky or ivory.
- In a small bedroom, translucent plain curtains in light colors, without flashy colored ornaments and patterns, would be appropriate.
- Consider the lighting in the room. If the room is located on the sunny side, it is advisable to select tulle curtains made of thicker fabric or with a printed pattern.
Fashionable curtains for the bedroom
Curtains in the bedroom play not only a decorative, but also a purely practical role - they protect sleep from the rays of the sun that prevent us from sleeping, as well as from indiscreet glances from the street. This is why the bedroom sometimes needs quite thick curtains. However, you should not forget that the bedroom is a place of relaxation, so the fabrics should be as natural as possible and breathable.
If you want to protect yourself as much as possible from sunlight, pay attention to blackout curtains - they almost completely darken the room thanks to unique innovative technologies.
It is desirable that the color scheme be restrained, promoting relaxation and peace. It is better to leave variegated colors for other rooms.
Floral chintz curtains are suitable for a bedroom in Provence style. These can be pink, lilac and olive tones on a milky background. For a country style option, you can use plaid fabric. For a Scandinavian bedroom you should choose white linen, and for an Oriental bedroom - muslin or Japanese curtains.
For those who prefer modernism, soft flowing fabrics, both plain and with floral motifs, are suitable, but in a classic bedroom you can hang curtains made of brocade or even velvet.
Multi-layer chiffon curtains will look cute in the bedroom. Each layer can be a different shade, which will create an interesting play of color.
If the curtains are not thick enough, they can be supplemented with roller blinds or blinds, which will act as a kind of screen.
Modern curtains are universal!
The models that are produced today include a huge number of styles and types that correspond to different interiors. Thanks to such diversity, everyone can make the right choice, regardless of what exactly we are talking about, kitchen curtains or curtains for the bedroom. After all, the color schemes, variety of colors and patterns can be the most unique! Moreover, first of all, before buying curtains, you should choose a cornice option, which must be in harmony not only with color, but also with design with all the decorative elements of the room.
As a rule, the design of curtains for the bedroom has a very important aesthetic role, decorating the room. In addition, today curtains can play a significant role from a practical point of view. Thanks to the constant improvement of textile production, as well as the development of designs, modern types of curtains are decorative and functional.
They are capable of very good insulation of sound waves, light rays, and also retain heat. Based on what color, material, composition, quality of tailoring you prefer, the room can be made happier or calmer, warmer or colder, and on top of that, you can also play with the size of the space, making it larger or smaller visually.
In modern design ideas, you can see a minimum of decor, where the walls are completely blank and the lines are clean. At the same time, such aspects are only a few in the modern world. For bedrooms, many different materials are used, as well as styles that have their own characteristics. For example, among the popular trends is a bedroom in the style of the seventies. It is customary here to mix, as you have already noticed in the photo designs of curtains for bedrooms, the best of that time in an updated, modern form, while using a rather colorful and bright palette of colors. If you choose exactly this option for a modernized bedroom, curtains will be ideal in brown tones, while blue and pastel shades will absolutely not be
Classic always remains
A classic bedroom always looks great, very beautiful, elegant and spacious, there is nothing superfluous here. In such a room it is calm and stable, which is quite important for each of us. On the other hand, there are still disadvantages, which include the high cost of design. Indeed, this style is the most expensive among the most popular and famous. This can be judged by the furniture, among which there should be exclusively natural products made from natural materials. Quite often it is made according to individual orders. The same goes for curtains and curtains.
For classic interior design methods, not only new curtains for the bedroom are chosen, but it is also important to carefully select the fabrics used; they must be heavy, and must be complemented with fully/half transparent tulle. With/without lambrequins is a matter of each individual case, as well as the options for their finishing. There may be some limit in the design, of course. But this applies exclusively to the features of each style solution.
Most often, such curtains are silk or velvety, made of chintz, jacquard or brocade. In some cases, silk and taffeta can be used to accentuate details, along with linen and cotton. The main feature is that all elements must be very harmoniously combined with each other. As for textiles, the materials must be at least “somewhere” similar to each other.
Accordingly, if the curtains are made from shiny fabrics, other items cannot be made in cotton/linen. The most ideal option is when the same color scheme is used, differing in different shades. For example, an excellent option would be to decorate a bedroom with light furniture, complemented by blue or cherry curtains.
The basis of the classics is order and balance and necessarily harmony in everything. The tradition must be maintained. Modern elements and new trends are not used. Here the task is to create symmetry, which should be perfect, taking into account the curtains with lighting and other details. Everything should be just perfect! When the designer has already chosen the focus of the bedroom, starting from it, other objects are arranged so that the overall impression is enhanced. Among the popular color options for curtains in the bedroom are: dark blue, and dark green, as well as grass/earth, brown.
In Empire bedrooms, the curtains you choose are luxurious, their fabrics are rich, with a variety of patterns, and the color scheme is quite rich. Features are: symmetry and the use of fringe, drapery, satin ribbons, lambrequins, ties with tassels.
The use of laurel wreaths, torches and various military attributes is quite appropriate here. The cornices have original shapes; they can be silver or bronze, gold.
Chic Art Deco
The use of various decorative elements led to the formation of a new style. It reflects all the wealth and luxury of all times. Art Deco practically does not exist separately from the interior and is used to add emphasis and zest to the room. The Art Deco style has many faces, so don’t be upset if you haven’t found suitable photos of curtains for the bedroom in the first catalog you look at.
We need to look again, this style does not limit the texture and pattern of the fabric. You can even see a geometric pattern or ethnic motif. Art Deco consists of heavy, thick curtains, made mainly of velvet, satin or silk, which are decorated with drapery or gold tassels. The bedroom often uses black and white or dark colors, decorated with expensive decor.
Provence style is back in fashion
Looking at the photo of modern curtains for the bedroom, it’s hard not to stop at this delicate style, made in pastel colors. Curtains are usually double with flowing, almost airy tulle.
Curtains made in this style will immerse you in the southern French province, give you peace and highlight the beauty of your city apartment. The curtains are selected in a darker color with a dense structure.
Minimalism
Refusal of excesses is the motto of this style. Curtains should be light and not attract attention. In the minimalist style, you will not see any curtains or drapes, and the curtains for the bedroom are made in the form of roller panels or blinds. But in a modern adaptation, this style does not exclude the tandem of roller blinds with a plain curtain. In this concept, it should not attract attention and become an accent, so we also stick to neutral tones.
Lavender fantasies
Provence is a French style that uses a variety of frills, floral motifs, pastel options along with bright colors to create accents. This style will make you think of fields with lavenders, groves with olives.
A set of curtains for the bedroom here can create some charm in the room. Their cotton voile in cream, white, with subtle notes of lilac or amethyst/dark green will add warmth to the room, filling it with a lavender scent.
The so-called rustic style has acquired new notes in a modern design method. Natural fabrics must be used; they can be decorated with flowers and other patterns, for example, checkered patterns, stripes, and polka dots of various sizes.
"Simple" curtains
If you don’t like the options described above, and you prefer certain colors and lines, look at the design options in the photo of modern curtains for bedrooms. Minimalism is a modern and quite practical style that does not require a lot of organization. To make the room monochrome and clear, you should choose the right curtains for the windows. Follow the rule that everything should be the same color. An ideal option for curtains in a white, cream shade, giving a dreamy feel to the room.
As for transparent curtains, they can be of different thicknesses. However, in each individual case you should choose exactly those that you need. After all, one of their main purposes is to protect the room from the sun, letting in only the amount of light that is necessary.
You should choose curtains based on the size of the window opening that needs to be closed, while at the same time focusing on the design of the entire bedroom.
Use warm, bright tones like yellow, beige, kiwi or orange if your bedroom faces north or doesn't have large open surfaces.
Curtains with lambrequin
When hearing the phrase “curtains with lambrequin”, many imagine luxurious and even elaborate designs made of fabric with ruffles, flounces and fringes in a classic style.
But the modern interpretation of curtain models with lambrequins has a very laconic design - simple designs with straight lines and, most often, no additional decor at all.

Roman curtains
Roman blinds are a variation of roller blinds, in which a continuous sheet of fabric is gathered into evenly distributed horizontal folds from the bottom to the top of the window opening. Curtains reliably protect the room from sunlight, look modern and do not require large amounts of fabric.
If the bedroom has a four-poster bed, then when choosing the color and texture of the fabric for window decoration, it is necessary to take into account the features of the drapery of the bed. As a rule, the canopy is decorated using light, translucent fabrics. Because these days it is used primarily for decoration, and not for its original purpose - to preserve the warmth of the sleeping place and protect against insects.
Draping windows in an attic room is not easy, especially if the window opening is mounted not only in the space of the walls, but also in the ceiling. Here is an original option for using curtain fabric to decorate a non-standard window using special holders.
Window decoration in the bedroom is an art. All decorative elements should not only be combined, but also complement each other. Design and comfort depend on the quality of curtains. Adhering to one style, we make repairs, buy furniture and order curtains. By making a noble window frame, you can increase the illumination or hide an unfortunate view from the window, adding your own unique touch to the interior.
Roman curtains
This type of lifting curtains is also popular this year. According to designers, they are often used in bedrooms. Roman curtains are a strip of fabric with rigid slats attached horizontally to its reverse side.
During the lifting of the canvas, folds are formed that overlap each other. Usually they are short - up to the windowsill. In order for the curtain to hold the desired shape, thick fabric is selected for its sewing.
The design of Roman curtains can be any: classic, minimalism, hi-tech - the choice depends on the design of the room. This type is also suitable for romantic interiors.
Curtains go well with lambrequins, light curtains and muslin. A fashionable bedroom can be decorated with curtains made of identical fabrics in olive, plum or cherry shades. These colors look spectacular on folds during the daytime.

Beautiful folds
The main feature of tulle curtains is the ability to lay them in perfect folds that fall down in beautiful waves. To an outsider it may seem that arranging such beauty is simple, but in fact it is painstaking work. Folds are not created by themselves; they are made in one of two ways:
- lay with your own hands;
- resort to using a curtain cord.
A special braid for curtains is convenient because you don’t have to constantly adjust the folds, because they will be securely fixed with a cord. The only problem is that with active use, the braid quickly becomes unusable, and you will have to put a lot of effort into correcting the design.
Making folds using a sewing machine is another matter. The process is very labor-intensive, but even beginner craftswomen can do it. The advantage of handmade work is that you will have confidence in the reliability of the design - the cord will definitely not break and you won’t have to spend many hours correcting the situation. The folds themselves can be of absolutely any type - small, deep, barely noticeable: it all depends on personal ideas about beauty and the stylistic design of the room.
Tulle is an ideal choice for a bedroom of any stylistic direction. It can be successfully combined with other materials, contrasting shades and decorative decorations - tassels and brooches for picking up. Tulle will perfectly serve as a chic drapery or canopy, while fulfilling its direct function - protecting the privacy of the bedroom.
