Lace tulle is the most popular and versatile way to decorate windows. It has long been an integral attribute of a home interior, but nevertheless requires a careful approach and deliberate choice. There are many options for drawings and colors, the material comes in different densities and transparency, so for every home you can find the perfect curtains.
Properly selected lace tulle on the windows will bring a gentle accent to the interior of the home, make the space cozy, light and airy. The fabric will serve as a good neutral backdrop for furniture and decor.
What to look for?
Lace tulle and drapes should be in harmony with each other. They can be in contrast or the same color, but in different shades. The lace pattern should match the pattern on the curtain.
The pattern should be selected for the general style of the decor and be sure to take into account the role of tulle in the interior: the curtain will serve only as a neutral background or accent.
Beige or white tulle with a small floral pattern organically fits into any style.
When buying a piece of fabric, be sure to consider shrinkage. It’s best to take a little more material.
Natural fabrics wrinkle more, and synthetic ones become more electrified.
Colors
The most popular and common color is white, shades of milk and ivory. Light lace tulle makes the atmosphere light, airy, beautifully frames the window and is suitable for any room, even the smallest and cramped.
The beige color and shade of champagne harmoniously looks in a bright, multi-color setting, softening excessive sharpness. Red is rarely used, it draws all the attention to itself and needs to be supplemented. In this case, it is recommended to place several red sofa cushions, a patterned carpet or other decor items in the room. Yellow curtains are suitable for dark, poorly lit rooms. This color is beautifully combined with chocolate, purple, raspberry.
Golden color, like white, is an absolute classic, but not for everyone. Golden lace tulle will fit into the interior of a spacious, bright room, decorated in a classic style. It is combined with burgundy, dark green, dark blue, coffee.
How to combine tulle and drapes?
To decorate the window opening, only a translucent tulle curtain is enough, but if you live on the ground floor or the room needs blackout, you should add a more dense curtain. Drapes and tulle, suspended on one ledge, are found in almost every interior. This pair can be monophonic or contrasting, but it must be in harmony. It is desirable that the pattern was present on only one fabric, or the pattern should match in style and theme. It is also important to consider the material from which the fabric is made. You should not combine natural textiles and synthetics, for example, linen and organza.
Interior style
Modern style requires restraint and simplicity, so the tulle should be selected discreet, with a neat floral pattern.
The best colors in this case are white, cream, creamy. The classic interior allows the use of luxurious curtains, richly draped, complemented by heavy curtains with fringe and tassels.
Delicate, light, romantic and slightly naive Provence style is perfect for lace curtains. Tulle can be draped with lush folds, use fabrics with large floral patterns. In this case, the length can be any: to the floor, to the windowsill or to close only the bottom of the window.
The Scandinavian interior style, very popular today, does not go well with delicate lace, so in this case it is better to choose another option.
Kitchen, bedroom, living room
In the kitchen, it is advisable to use curtains of medium length. For this room, choose curtains made of synthetic fabric, which will not darken from frequent washing and will not deteriorate under the influence of high temperature and humidity.
In the living room you can hang natural lace floor-length. Light tulle can easily be combined with light and dark furniture, therefore it is considered a universal option. It is recommended to use a thin, delicate tulle with a small pattern in the bedroom. Bright colors will be inappropriate, so you should make a choice in favor of a white or cream shade.
