Winter curtains
For what
Traditionally, winter curtains hang on the windows near the end of autumn. The landscape behind the window is changing and I want to change the interior a little, add comfort to it, protection against gray days and bad weather. In this case, massive, dense winter curtains will help. In order not to prevent the penetration into the daylight room, which it becomes less in winter, add light translucent tulle or silk curtains to them. They will be tamed from the curious eyes of passersby, but will miss enough light.Material
Choosing a material for winter curtains, focus on these materials:
- wool;
- jacquard fabrics;
- velvet;
- velours;
- plush;
- Shenill.
First of all, the curtains from these tissues perform a purely practical function: insulate the room, stopping the possible drafts from the window. Secondly, they create a feeling of a warm blanket, in which your home hits in bad weather.
Design
To distract yourself from a gray scenery outside the window, give preference to light or bright colors. They visually replenish the lack of daylight and refresh the interior.
Bright winter curtains fit well into the classic or just discreet interior. They also fit those who do not like bright colors or is afraid to distract attention from another important accent, for example, paintings or design chairs. Such curtains can be monophonic or with a nonsense pattern. Jar curtains will not only raise the mood, but also create a feeling of novelty, becoming an interesting accent. It is best to give preference to one-photo models or options without floral patterns, since in the winter they may look inappropriate.
Universal solutions
Those who do not want to change the curtains twice a year and prefers practical solutions worth paying attention to the blinds and rolled curtains. They will fit perfectly in Loft, techno and minimalist interior. And Blackout technology will protect against sunlight on a hot noon or light lights at night.
Care and storage
Before removing the curtains until the next season, do not forget to put them in order. In order not to spoil the cloth during washing, save labels with instructions. Do not forget to turn on rinse mode: sections of the fabric on which the powder remains faster. But the pressure mode can be applied only for dense tissues, such as jacquard. For thin curtains, use the manual wash mode, and the silk fabric will have to be erased manually and dried in a dark place without pressing.
