Textiles serve to create a complete image of the room, where tulle plays an important role. The drapery, color and length make the interior look different even though the furniture and wall color remain the same.
Features of window design with tulle
Correctly chosen tulle will become a special accent of the interior or a neutral background for decorative items. It is distinguished by its transparency, smooth or openwork texture in neutral or bright colors.
Tulle simultaneously protects the room from the sun's rays and lets them through, while dissipating them, which brings an airy and cozy atmosphere to the interior. Lightweight fabric drapes well and holds its desired shape.
The photo shows an example of a bedroom where there is no cornice and the curtain falls from the niche. This option is suitable for a small room with a wide window.
Rules for choosing tulle:
- Tulle and curtains in the interior should be contrasting or complement each other, differing in shades. If there is a pattern on the curtains, then the tulle should repeat it, or remain neutral;
- It should be selected to match the style and color of the interior, taking into account whether the emphasis will be on the window, or whether it will become a background for other interior items;
- If there is no connection to a specific interior style, then a safe choice would be tulle in neutral beige and white shades without a prominent pattern;
- When sewing individually, you need to take into account the peculiarities of the fabric, its shrinkage during the sewing process and then washing; it is best to select curtains from a photo;
- When choosing natural tulle, you should remember that fabric with the addition of polyester wrinkles less. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the material is impregnated with a special antistatic and dirt-repellent agent, especially if the textiles will be used in the kitchen.

Special curtain rods with built-in sensors will perform this operation within a few seconds. Using a smartphone where the appropriate program is installed, you can easily manage this.
You need to select a new tulle design for 2022, focusing on the interior, and not buy decor and adjust the entire design to it. After all, tulle is only an auxiliary element that can add specialness and uniqueness to the house.
Combination with other types of curtains
Tulle can be used as an independent decorative element, or can be combined with another type of curtains for greater darkness.
Curtain and tulle
Curtains and tulle are often found on the same cornice in any interior style. They can be plain or multi-colored. With this combination, the pattern should be on only one item, or the pattern should match. There is no need to combine curtains made of natural fabric, such as linen, and organza tulle.
Roller blind and tulle
They are combined if the tulle is transparent or covers half of the window, and its length does not matter. When rolled up, the roll will not be visible.
Roman blind and tulle
Roman blinds and tulle are suitable for a modern living room, nursery or bedroom. It is better to mount it on the sash or in the opening. The color of Roman blinds can be the same or contrasting.

Thread curtain and tulle
Thread curtains and tulle can be combined, provided there is a combination of different colors, while the thread curtains should be thick, and the tulle should be openwork or translucent.
Neutral palette
It tends to be a soft continuation of monochrome. At the same time, calmer tones dominate in soft textile fabrics, adding restraint and freshness.
In a monochrome setting, you can boldly introduce objects that dilute the homogeneous palette. These can be bright pillows, lampshades, screens. True, they must be very dosed.
Style decision
Universal window decor allows you to highlight any interior style.
Modern style
For a modern interior, a plain tulle, striped, with a little embroidery is suitable. The color does not matter, but it should be appropriate in the decor. Simple lines, clear fabric without asymmetry are welcome in a modern style.
Classic style
The classic interior lies in the consistency and combination of heavy brocade or velvet curtains with light patterned muslin in beige or white, as well as a soft lambrequin or sash with fringe and tassels. When sewing, it is important to take into account that the tulle does not reach the floor by 2 cm, and the curtains lightly touch it.

Scandinavian style
The Scandinavian interior does not imply the use of heavy curtains, so white muslin without openwork and a simple cut is suitable here. It can also be combined with a roller blind.
