The living room is a place that is constantly under surveillance, because it gathers the whole family and guests on vacation in the evenings, so the decor of the living room should be very well thought out. It is necessary to take into account all the nuances - the combination of colors, layout and decor. The last and important stage is the design of window openings. With the help of tulle you can completely change the image of a room, making it light and airy. It seems that all the possibilities of tulle are already known, but every year designers create new interesting options for using this material as decoration.
Tulle in the hall without curtains
Important! It is in a small room that tulle without curtains turns out to be a good option, because in this case, translucent or completely transparent fabric visually makes the room larger. It will also be a reasonable choice in rooms located in the northwest, north, and west. There is little sun and the rooms often look too cold, then fabrics of a warm, beautiful color are suitable.
As for style solutions, they will be discussed in more detail below. Tulle without curtains will fit well into the interior of a room in the style of:
- Scandinavian;
- Provence;
- Oriental.
Transparent tulle, when chosen for such styles, helps create a magnificent effect of openness and lightness. And tulle will also allow your room to be filled with sunlight.
It is worthwhile to dwell separately on the classic style. Then transparent lush tulle will help the room look more luxurious. In the classic style, tulle is usually combined with curtains.
Long curtains
Long tulle is a good choice if you have a large room and have enough free space near the window. If the room has a balcony, then short curtains are completely inappropriate.
If we talk about attaching curtains, then a fresh solution would be tulle on eyelets. Eyelets are special rings made of plastic or metal that are used to process the edges of the holes.
Tulle with a batik pattern looks very original. Such a curtain will become a real decoration of the room and create an accent in the interior.
Short tulle
Short tulle works well if there are no external batteries. And if we talk about furniture, then short curtains are great when there is a table and a sofa near the window.
Regardless of the design, there is one more useful tip that is worth mentioning - short tulle is good if you have pets. Then, having played too much, they will not be able to tear the curtain.
Tips for decorating a window in the kitchen
- The design of a window in a kitchen without curtains can be complemented with frosted glass. They will not allow others to see what is happening in your kitchen, but will allow enough sunlight to pass through. To make the room more colorful, you can add brightly tinted glass. If you need to make your kitchen more beautiful without curtains, original decorative stickers will do. Gluing them is not difficult, and this will create additional contrast.
- Stained glass windows will look beautiful in any kitchen style. This is an original option for wide windows. If you do not want to completely create stained glass windows, use special stickers. They are cheaper. You can hang roller blinds on the windows.
- To achieve aesthetics, choose patterns that complement the overall design of the kitchen. To add color and flair to the interior, hang beaded curtains. If you know how to draw beautifully, decorate the windows with unusual designs. These can be birds, plants and various kitchen items.
- In order not to hang curtains on the windows in the kitchen, you can beautifully design the slopes. They may differ in color from the walls or be decorated with original drawings. It is believed that garlands are just New Year's paraphernalia. However, it is not. You can hang garlands of original shape on the windows. These could be stars, balls or flowers. This design will give the kitchen a cozy and homely atmosphere.
- Decorative screens will look beautiful on the windows. They allow you to hide the batteries. Such details can be not only classic, but also with sliding structures. Sunlight entering the kitchen will have unusual patterns. Often there are bright window frames that will help decorate a kitchen window without curtains.
How to choose tulle and curtains for the living room
Curtains for the room are selected exclusively together with tulle.
If curtains are primarily important, then tulle will act as something like a background. Then it would be appropriate to choose it plain and smooth. The contrast effect will be well demonstrated - rich dark curtains with light tulle.
If the curtains serve as an addition, everything is different. The curtain should be neutral and highlight the texture of the tulle well.
It’s worth thinking about what is better – tulle with or without a lambrequin? First, just in case, let’s clarify what a lambrequin is. This is the name given to the decorative element that complements the top edge of the curtains. This decor appeared back in the fifteenth century. A lambrequin would be an ideal solution for the window into the living room (including next to the balcony door) in large living rooms. In a small apartment, a lambrequin will no longer be suitable - it will look too inappropriate and heavy, especially in combination with low ceilings.
When choosing curtains and tulle, in order for the design of the room to be ideal, you need to focus on the overall style of the interior. Some options are suitable for a modern style, while others are suitable for a classic style. Key tips:
- in the minimalist style, simple, not particularly pretentious options would be appropriate;
- classics and baroque, on the contrary, encourage the use of the same lambrequins, as well as tiebacks and flounces;
- chalets, shabby chic and similar styles involve the use of curtains with flowers and frills;
- in the Indian style, heavy, chic curtains are suitable, and the tulle turns out to be appropriate, for example, with gilded thread.
Unusual slopes
If the room is on a high floor or there are no other houses opposite, you can leave the windows undecorated to ensure privacy. But to prevent the window opening from looking boring, it is enough to decorate the slopes using wood, paint or wallpaper. Contrasting elements will attract attention to the view outside the window, and will also become one of the most original details of the interior.
Current colors
The color of the curtains should be appropriately combined with wallpaper, furniture and the entire interior.
White tulle will look great in the living room next to dark furniture or bright wallpaper. However, white color is generally suitable in most cases. The white color of tulle has only one drawback - it gets dirty quickly.
When the window in the room faces the sunny side, cooler shades will be appropriate. For example, gray, silver and blue tulle would be a good solution. This will make the room look fresh and create a feeling of coolness.
If the windows in your living room face west or north, then options with warm shades are suitable: milky, cream, light yellow.
If the ceiling in your room is low enough, then a vertical print on the curtains can solve this problem.
A very interesting option is fabrics with ombre colors, where a light shade turns into a darker one. And sometimes an excellent solution is an option where the shade changes depending on the viewing angle.
Shutters
Wooden shutters have long been famous for their practicality and beauty: with their help you can completely darken a room or decorate the interior. Painted to match the walls, they look light and unobtrusive, and covered with bright paint they become an accent point.
With the help of shutters you can create the atmosphere of a country house, as well as get a spectacular design detail.
Material selection
Modern tulle is made from a variety of fabrics, but most often these are synthetic materials. Let's take a closer look at the pros and cons of each fabric.
Veil:
- soft, smooth and delicate to the touch;
- denser than organza and softer;
- offers many color options;
- better protection from the sun.
However, the veil also has significant disadvantages - for example, it gets dirty much faster and is much worse to clean. It deteriorates in the sun and is quite subject to unwanted electrification. Easily wrinkles and tears. It is better to wash with liquid detergents and very carefully.
Organza is a fabric made of polyester and silk; it is much easier to wash compared to a veil and is much less afraid of dust, sun, and electricity. Although light and airy, it is also very durable.
Usually organza is a much better option compared to a veil, which has only one drawback - price. Producing quality material is expensive.
Important! Not long ago, a wonderful option appeared on the market called micro-veil or semi-organza. He took the key advantage of the veil over organza - softness, while maintaining the elasticity and other advantages of organza. It is worth recommending if you are not short on funds.
Finally, the largest type of tulle is mesh tulle. One of the significant advantages of the mesh is that it does not require ironing. You need to wash it by hand and quite carefully, but still, compared to a veil, there is less chance of damaging it.
Let's summarize: most often the best, but least budget choice is organza.
Windows without curtains provide more light
When there is no obstacle to the penetration of sunlight in the form of curtains, the room becomes lighter, which thereby optically makes it larger. Windows are especially relevant in the interior of the Scandinavian style or minimalism, because the ascetic component of such trends requires the absence of curtains in the interior.
Scandinavian style implies the presence of a lot of light and air in the apartment. The absence of curtains will allow for a more harmonious interior design of this style direction.

Tulle with lambrequin
Lambrequin is a decorative textile drapery placed horizontally at the top of the window, across the entire width of the cornice. Recently, it has become fashionable to complement tulle with a lambrequin without using curtains. It will be especially convenient in the living room, where you need a lot of daylight. When sewing a rigid lambrequin, dense fabrics are used, which are treated with fleece or dublerin to maintain density. In addition, such a lambrequin is stretched over a wooden or plastic frame. It goes well with tulle and harmonizes with the rest of the interior. The lambrequin can be of any shape - arc, rectangle, etc.
Soft lambrequins are used in the living room to create a festive atmosphere. The simplest option is a strip of fabric gathered into a braid. Creates a harmonious ensemble with tulle and other decorative elements.
The lambrequin combination has a lambrequin of complex design and is divided into several varieties:
Jelly frill - a lambrequin is located along the edge and has a beveled cutout to create folds.
- The tie hangs in the center, has a triangle shape and soft, even folds.
- Buff - a lambrequin that resembles braid; it is usually made from bright, rich fabrics.
- Roast - conical folds, horizontal in shape.
- Coquillet - double folds thrown over each other.
- Svagi is a lambrequin in the form of a semicircle, which is complemented by fringe or fringe.
- A combined lambrequin will create an original design in the living room and complement the classic style.

You can use thin horizontal or vertical stripes. This option is suitable for both classic style and minimalism.

They are the pride of the home owner and a significant decoration of the interior.
