Features and types of curtains for the windows of our apartments
Types of curtains are distinguished by the method of fastening to the cornice and decorative features:
- Sliding curtains - perhaps the most common type of curtains, consisting of two strips of fabric suspended from the cornice with special clothespins,or in another way. Such curtains freely move horizontally along the cornice. Usually, along with the curtains, the curtain is hung from a light transparent fabric( veil, tulle, organza) so that during the day when the curtains are open, the window is not "empty", and at the same time, you will all be clearly visible from the window, and nothingwill prevent the penetration of sunlight into the room. This type of curtains is found in almost every home, their models differ only in the chosen color and material, so if you want individuality, then we do not recommend using this kind of curtains.
- Roman blinds is a solid fabric that is gathered in horizontal folds with a special chain or lace. Roman curtains can be made of different materials: transparent, translucent and dense fabrics. On the fabric of Roman curtains can be applied ornament or pattern. Such curtains also perform a decorative function, a kind of complementing the interior, becoming an expressive accent.

- Japanese curtains can be a good canvas for the implementation of your creative ideas in the interior. They are vertically hanging panels, freely moving and sliding apart with a chain or lace. The panels can be of different widths. If the curtain consists of narrow panels( about 15 centimeters wide), they can also rotate about their axis, according to the principle of blinds, only vertically( they are also called "rope blinds").In addition, there is a large selection of colors and textures of such curtains, they can also be applied ornament or drawing, depending on the features of your interior.

Above the window, a cylindrical body with a special mechanism is installed, in this case there is a curtain rolled into a roll. A very unusual kind of curtains for our apartments, which has very limited demand, the poet rarely meets on the shelves of stores. But these curtains, undoubtedly, stand out among the gray mass of the listed types of curtains.
- Rope curtains. Very interesting alternative version of window curtains - rope or filament curtains. Until recently, they were not very common, and if someone hung such curtains, then only in two level openings. At first, one of the varieties of such curtains - rope blinds, began to be used in offices, in large rooms. Convenience is that when you buy such curtains, you tell the seller the width of the window, the height of the ceiling, the desired color, texture, and texture and you collect a design that perfectly meets your requirements. Filament curtains were invented back in the 70s of the last century, and do not cease to look in time as relevant as possible. Rope curtains are perfect for apartments where young and progressive people live.
The main types of fabrics for curtains
The materials used in the manufacture of curtains, as already mentioned, can be completely different:
- Tulle is a light transparent fabric with a mesh texture. It is usually embroidered patterns. This material can be used separately, but most often it is used as curtains, in combination with traditional curtains made of dense fabric, becauseThrough the tulle can clearly see the room through the window.
- Organza is also a lightweight thin fabric used for sewing curtains, as well as light, soaring costume parts for oriental dance. The texture of the organza resembles a tulle, but the structure is more dense, the mesh structure of the tissue is not expressed. Like tulle - she misses the light and through it everything is visible. A pattern or pattern is applied by embroidery, etching, printing. This material is often used alone, hanging a window without a dense tissue. Under certain conditions the organza will perfectly fit into the interior, filling the room with lightness and light.
The choice of the type and color of window curtains occurs in parallel with the development and planning of the interior. Give your room( living room, kitchen or bedroom) the mood that is closest to you and other inhabitants of the house( apartment), and the curtains will help you in this.
