Pastel natural tones and shades, the classic model of curtains (two long linen or cotton fabrics with soft folds and completely covering the window) is the simplest solution that perfectly conveys the atmosphere of a French countryside: modesty and graceful simplicity.

These are cozy curtains in a green check or curtains in a small flower. A curtain made of coarse calico or printed colored chintz looks great, assembled on a thin string or fishing line, in a small fold in the middle of the window. It is better to reinforce colored curtains with additional accessories made of the same fabric:

• napkins;
• bedspreads;
• grips;
• tablecloths.

The walls look good in plain colors.

A natural palette without flashy and pretentious accents and patterns is a sign of a classic style. Styling options can be different: from straight canvases to uncomplicated soft drapery, picked up by elegant tassels and fringe.

For a kitchen-living room or dining room, a light, elegant lambrequin is appropriate. Tapestry, linen, polyester, airy voile and tulle will be good here.

You can follow the tradition of draping and pleating fabrics, come up with an original design and cut: combine the mesh with a smooth shiny fabric, make asymmetric curtains, ideal for balcony openings.

Ethnic stylization dictates its own characteristics. The presence of national prints and colors, as well as the texture of the fabric itself, is important here. Somewhere the main role will be played by color, and somewhere - drawings with symbols, customs and, of course, national plants.

High-quality and beautiful curtains - the comfort of your home. The advice and recommendations of experts will help you choose the right curtains.

• Consider the area of ​​the room. If the footage is small, do not purchase curtains made of heavy fabric with many drapery folds - the space will look even smaller. Lighter and lighter light-green curtains will help to shade the window. Leave large curtains and lush curtains in dark colors for more spacious places.
• Location. Think in advance about whether the place where the curtains will hang is safe. Flammable fabrics must not be hung near the stove, and decor made of any material you like can be placed far from sources of fire.
• Quality and price. For the kitchen, curtains are preferred that are the least dirty and do not require special care. Too expensive materials for kitchen surroundings are unprofitable.
• Style.

• Roller blinds, compact, practical, convenient even in a small kitchen.
• Straight classics look great everywhere, especially when combined with different shades of greenery.
• Curtains up to the middle of the window always look "at home". Cute curtains with a lambrequin "cat's house" or "grandmother's" are the most advantageous for small kitchens with unusual shapes or small windows.
• Arched or semicircular models are beautiful and practical.

• Light green Roman curtains in a white kitchen - stylish and relevant.

• The blinds also look modern and practical.

• For a large blue kitchen-living room in ethnic style, curtains of rich grassy color with small malachite floral ornaments are a bright and bold accent.
