Modern style
Most often, curtains for a room in a modern style are bought in white or beige. In addition, they can be green, blue, and even burgundy. Natural fabric is usually used for sewing such curtains, but special care is needed for them. That's why busy people prefer to choose synthetic products. They do not have to be monochromatic - it is quite possible to take stylish curtains with a light geometric or floral print.
