Choosing a pattern for curtains in 2 colors or triple curtains
The classic version of a two-color curtain is a rectangular canvas consisting of 2 multi-colored vertical sections. They can be either plain or with a pattern. Rainbow curtains involve a combination of 3 or more colors.
Other common combination options are horizontal, perimeter and “corset”.
Plain
2 colors can be used in double sided curtains. They are sewn from 2 plain fabrics, and the front side can be any of them, which allows you to change their sides. The density of the materials should be medium, otherwise the curtain will turn out heavy. The advantages of such products are a high shading function and the possibility of additional decoration due to the flap on the inside. It is better to take identical fabrics for sewing double curtains so that the shape of the curtains is preserved after washing.
With print
To give the interior individuality and special expressiveness, plain fabrics are combined with canvases that contain patterns, drawings and prints. Such curtains emphasize the chosen design style, making it complete.
Striped
One of the color combination techniques is to use colored stripes on plain curtains: wide and narrow, located below and above the main fabric. The lower position visually raises the ceiling and makes the room taller. Any primary color can be used, but white is most often used. And the color of the border is chosen according to your own taste - pink, green, blue.
Gradient and ombre
A fashionable trend in window decoration is the use of canvases with a gradual color change in both the vertical and horizontal directions. In ombre curtains, one shade smoothly transitions into another, more saturated one. A gradient is characterized by the flow of different colors.
Combination options
What impression a window will create in a space depends, first of all, on how well the textiles in its decoration are chosen. Also, when choosing fabric, it is necessary to take into account the height of the room, the total area, color palette, the presence of a print in the room and its style.

Tips for sewing curtains yourself and combining them
If you decide to sew curtains combined in two colors yourself, use the advice of the masters:
When choosing colors, give preference to one tonal range. This way you can avoid sharp, contrasting changes in the interior.
Curtains are chosen taking into account the color of the walls, their decoration, the amount of daylight and room lighting. In practice, the rule works: the lighter the window, the darker and denser fabrics are allowed in the design. Conversely, light, light curtains are selected for shaded windows.
The size of curtains plays an important role in creating a comfortable environment. The correct length of the product should be just below the window sill or reach the floor.
When composing combinations, it is necessary to take into account the texture of the fabric, their density and deformation after washing. The use of different textures, for example satin and jacquard, will look ridiculous and cause general dissonance in the space. Different densities can lead to distortions of finished products and their stretching.
Curtains with drapery look very beautiful in the interior. To achieve this effect, fabrics are taken 1.5-2 times longer than the length of the cornice. Lightweight fabrics in combined curtains always look more attractive, they are easier to change by folding them or securing them with a girth.
The fabric must first be washed and ironed to avoid deformation in the future.
Photos in the interior of the rooms
Combined curtain options look good in living spaces for any purpose.
Living room or hall
When choosing curtains in the living room, it is important to consider the dimensions of the space. So a large print will look good in a spacious room, and a small print will look good in a small one. In the living room, contrasting fabrics or curtains with a pattern in combination with light fabric (organza, plain nylon, veil) are appropriate. To create an elegant living room style, you can use velvet or tapestry with the addition of decorative elements (tiebacks with fringe, tassels, rhinestones, etc.).

Kitchen
Combined curtains in the kitchen have a variety of color combinations and styles, but here, just like in the living room, the area of the room matters. For a small kitchen, a neat solution would be to choose plain or finely patterned fabrics. If the side is sunny, then thick curtains are suitable, and if the window faces north, let in light.
Look at examples of combining blinds and curtains in the kitchen.
Cafe-style curtains, Roman blinds and curtains are still popular for the kitchen area. The color can be plain or in a small pattern (flower, peas, pattern, etc.). If the window is located close to the hob, then blinds that are easy to clean and do not absorb odors are suitable.

Bedroom
For the bedroom, it is important to select combined curtains that will bring peace and relaxation to the atmosphere. The color of the fabrics should be soft and calm, with a light and unobtrusive drapery. A variegated design, aggressive color scheme and complex drapery make the space heavier and exert psychological pressure on a person.

Children's
Combined curtains in a children's room should not oppress the child with dark colors or colorful prints. So, in the student’s room there should be a lot of daylight, which has a beneficial effect on his well-being and attention, and for kids it is acceptable to use curtains in pastel colors with patterns (cartoon characters, stylized animals and natural scenes).

How to decorate beautifully?
There are a number of decorative elements that make the drapery complete.
- Eyelets. A curtain with eyelets on the cornice is appropriate in a modern interior and can additionally be combined with other types of curtains.
- Lambrequin. This element completes the window image. Lambrequin is a common decoration element, the shape of which can be from straight to carved.
- Pickups. They form a complete and laconic silhouette of the curtains when assembled. The location of the tie relative to 1/3 of the height of the length of the curtain will be harmonious. Tiebacks are varied in their design, from frills, fringes and weaving, to voluminous compositions in the form of textile bouquets.
- Lace. The lace motif in the drapery sets a cozy and soulful atmosphere, and will also complement the rustic, Provence or classic style.
- Fringe. Brushes, string of threads, beads and other decorative inclusions will give a sophisticated look to the window.
Examples for non-standard windows
For custom windows, there are many window design solutions available.
- Bay window. The bay window is the compositional center of the room. Combined curtains will complement the geometry of a non-standard window and add individuality.
- For two windows. Drapery on two windows can combine them into a single compositional ensemble.
- With balcony door. Curtains with a balcony door should not prevent it from opening. Using curtains with the fabric gathered to the side will be the optimal solution for use.
Textiles and other materials
Straight or assembled curtain rods are in harmony with all types of roller blinds made from fabric, plastic, and straw.
Beautiful combinations are obtained by combining single-color canvases with floral and plant patterns.
