Textiles are one of the most common ways to decorate a room. You can make a room cozy, luxurious or unusual, it depends on the color and texture of the fabric.

Currently, two-tone curtains are at the peak of popularity. They look great in the living room, as they have a number of features:

• create a unique effect;

• can be combined with any design style - from classic to hi-tech.

Two-tone curtains come in several types. Their appearance is determined by the cut, density and texture of the fabric. The standard type assumes the presence of two cloths of different colors, located on the same window. If we are talking about this type of curtain as a set, then the number of curtains in it can be 4 or 6. Another type of curtains is double-sided. Each curtain is formed by two canvases that are sewn to each other. This option is completely devoid of the seamy side, having an excellent decorative effect.

Incredibly beautiful gradient curtains. Their other name is ombre. In such products, there is no clear differentiation of color. The shade smoothly passes vertically from dark to light, or vice versa. Two-tone ombre curtains can radically transform the living room.

When sewing two-tone curtains, the following material can be used.

• Blackout. The fabric is dense, does not transmit light, keeps its shape well and drapes, wear-resistant, does not lose color saturation from exposure to sunlight.

• Linen. The material is environmentally friendly, therefore ideal if an allergic person lives in the house. Linen is durable. There are many varieties of it, depending on the structure of the weaving, which allows you to always choose the right option in terms of density and texture.

• Veil. Has a matte dense surface. The material is lightweight, well draped into beautiful folds. It can be used both for the main canvas and for sewing lambrequins.

• Organza... The material is transparent, perfectly transmits light. It can be either plain or patterned, decorated with shiny threads.

• Velvet... It has a soft, fleecy surface that shimmers effectively under natural or artificial light. Looks luxurious and rich.

To make the combination of shades of two colors really successful, pay attention to the color scheme of the living room and match the textiles. Two-tone curtains can be a great accent. If you want to use this technique, stop at a combination of black and white, turquoise and brown, yellow and green, pistachio and chocolate, red and white.

The arrangement of the color bars can be vertical or horizontal. At the same time, the space of the room visually changes. Use vertical stripes to add height to ceilings. Curtains with horizontal contrasting stripes will help to expand the hall. Designers recommend placing a darker shade at the bottom.

Usually, two-tone curtains for the hall are selected taking into account the principle of contrast. However, you need to combine the fabric, adhering to certain rules. Only then can the desired effect be achieved. The easiest way - use contrasting shades of the same color. The combination will be harmonious. If, at the same time, a light tone is combined with a more saturated one, then such a technique will make the room brighter, fill it with positive.

Despite the fact that such curtains are contrasting, they must certainly have something in common. For example, they must be made from the same material. The print, density and texture of the fabric also act as connecting elements. If you do not follow this advice, then such a decor will not become an ornament, but an imbalance of the room.

Very often in living rooms, 2 windows are located on the same wall. You can decorate them in a classic style, collecting curtains in numerous folds using wide ribbons or spectacular grabs with tassels. The fabric should be heavy, expensive, preferably with a gold print. The window becomes a single element and looks very impressive.

Choosing two-tone curtains for a modern apartment, opt for soothing colors: beige, brown, gray. As for the design of the products, it is better if there are few folds. Also, no other decorative elements are required. Everything should be simple and concise. Both synthetic and natural fabrics will cope with the task.

If curtains with vertical stripes of green and orange are placed on one window, then the room will become not only brighter, but also more positive. This color combination is uplifting.
