In a rustic, Provencal, technogenic style ... Curtains for kitchens are perhaps one of the most important interior details that should be paid attention to. Why? Just because the average Russian family spends most of their time in the kitchen.
Here we drink
morning coffee and make breakfast at school and at work, neighbors and girlfriends come here to “just chat,” here we stay with friends until late at night, when everyone at home is already sleeping to discuss burning issues.
Curtains for kitchens are usually chosen without any complaints, rather modest. Many housewives like the folk style: with a Khokhloma or gzhel pattern, with images of wooden or clay dishes, or with fruit and vegetable motifs. Garden and wildflowers also often adorn curtains for kitchens. Often, housewives also choose simple geometric patterns - for example, a cage or polka dots, especially in combination with a modest lace. As a rule, only tulle or an additional pelmet is used.
Curtains to the kitchen with a balcony are sometimes also made of thicker material that limits visibility from the street. However, such a need arises only if the windows of the neighboring house or crowded street are located opposite.
Noble and at the same time modest curtains for kitchens that suit any style - these are plain linen with a stitch or natural lace. White, beige or cream color will fit into any color scheme - from pastel to bright and catchy. When choosing curtains for kitchens, consider wall decoration. If they are glued with wallpaper or tile with a pattern, the textile should be combined with it, and better - be restrained and monophonic.
Beautiful curtains in the kitchen - see photo below - can also be made independently. There is a wide variety of special curtain tapes on the market that allow craftswomen to create any drapery or assembly. Curtains for kitchens used to be made with embroidery - for example, a Richelieu or a cross. Now very rarely they are decorated with their own hands. However, sew on lace, make a hemstitch or sew an applique even by a novice craftswoman.
Choosing curtains for such a common place as the kitchen is, it is worth taking care not only about comfort and environmental friendliness, but also to please the tastes of all family members. Do not overload textiles with decorative elements. For example, a fringe or brush is completely redundant. In the event that the curtains should obscure the room from a very bright sun, you can use a tapestry fabric on a cotton basis. In general, curtains for kitchens are best purchased or sewn from natural materials. In addition, they must be washed quite often, since the fat and steam from the prepared dishes can very quickly ruin the appearance. If the kitchen has a windowsill, you can decorate it with crafts or beautiful ceramics, pots with herbs. In this case, the curtains on the sides can be assembled with a suitable color tape. Lambrequins with simple drapery, often made of contrasting material, also look attractive. You can also combine, for example, tulle and rope curtains.
