Tips for choosing curtains on eyelets in the bedroom
The bedroom is a place where it is important to create an atmosphere of calmness and tranquility.
When designing its design, it is important to take into account many nuances so that during a rest a person is not disturbed by bright accents or incomprehensible color combinations. Particular attention should be paid to the choice of curtains, since it is this detail that can protect against bright light and sometimes even excessively loud noise from the street.
At the moment, the option of attaching them to special rings - eyelets is very popular. How to choose curtains for the bedroom with eyelets and what is important to take into account in this case, we will consider in this article.
Peculiarities
Eyelets are a special type of fastening, thanks to which the curtain can easily slide over the curtain. They come in several types and can be made from different materials.
- Steel eyelets are distinguished by their durability and attractive appearance (provided that they are properly coated). The metal can be simply polished, galvanized or powder coated.
- Wooden eyelets are distinguished by their environmental friendliness and a special atmosphere that they can give to the room. As a rule, this option is appropriate in the styles of ethno, eco, country.
- Plastic eyelets differ in a variety of textures, colors and sizes. The properties of PVC enable manufacturers to make accessories from it that mimic both steel and wood, and many other materials, including stone and even precious metals. This characteristic makes plastic eyelets one of the most demanded on the market. In addition, such accessories are much cheaper. They move much quieter when compared, for example, with the same steel rings.
When choosing a fastening for curtains in the bedroom, it is important to pay attention not only to the color and material of the eyelets, but also directly to the appearance of the curtain itself, since it is of greater importance in shaping the interior and sets the main tone for the design of the window space.
Like the rings themselves, the curtain can be made of metal, plastic or wood.
When choosing a specific material it is important to start not only from the style of the bedroom, but also from how heavy the curtains are planned to be hung on it... For example, a curtain made of thin plastic, designed for light kitchen tulle, is unlikely to withstand large heavy canvases made of curtain fabric, or, on the contrary, a weightless airy summer curtain made of cotton will look very ridiculous on massive rings and the same curtain made of noble wood like oak or beech.
Styles
Since windows are one of the fundamental interior details of any bedroom, when choosing their frame, it is important to take into account the general style in which the bedroom is decorated.
- Country. An option in which a semblance of a village light is created in the room. Preference should be given to simple materials and natural fabrics. The curtain can be made of thick cotton or linen. Curtains and eyelets are preferable to choose from natural wood. If during the repair the owners adhere to the principle of maximum economy, you can replace the tree with plastic, stylized as natural wood. But still, this option is a snag, and it does not differ in durability.
- Classic. Classic bedroom interiors imply a luxurious room design, this also applies to window framing. Gilding, forged ornaments, bronze plating are welcome. It will look interesting if the design of the curtains overlaps with the eyelets. For example, you can choose an option where the gilding of the fastening rings smoothly flows into a three-dimensional pattern on the curtains, embroidered with gold threads.
- Loft. A style that in some cases does not provide for the presence of curtains on the windows at all. In order for the design of the bedroom to correspond to the canons of this urbanistic style, but if it is impossible to refuse any curtains on the windows, you can give preference to light tulle made of translucent fabric. The canvas can be mounted on a curtain-style tube and be accompanied by light aluminum grommets without any coating.
- Bionics. This is a direction that shows the closeness of man with nature, but does not deprive or limit the comfort that the modern level of human development gives.
The curtains on the eyelets will fully help to embody this direction in the bedroom. Natural colors are welcomed in the style - brown, green, milky and the like. At the same time, it is important to correctly combine the main color of the interior and the details in it, which are the curtains and eyelets.
- High tech. A very popular trend today, combining minimalism and urbanism, comfort and convenience. In this style, it is not customary to use any ornaments, therefore, in a high-tech bedroom, as a rule, it is made in one color with the same monochromatic accessories. The colors are dominated by neutral, an abundance of metal and even plastic are welcomed. In such a bedroom, plain blackout curtains equipped with chrome eyelets will be appropriate. The curtain should match the rings.
Design options
Since the bedroom is a place that is designed to give peace and tranquility, the design of the window in it should be stylish, but at the same time calm. Curtains on eyelets can decorate this room in the most extraordinary way.
Recently, interior designers are increasingly moving away from the traditional set of window frames, consisting of two curtains and tulle, towards a non-standard combination of not only fabrics and colors, but also textures and shapes.
Do not surprise anyone by decorating the window with lambrequins.And although this technique is not used as often in the bedroom as, for example, in the kitchen or in the living room, it also takes place in this room. In the case of such a combination the lambrequin is passed between the folds of the main curtain or tulle, or is simply sewn onto the curtain... It looks good not in all styles, but only in those that imply a luxurious design, for example, in classics, rococo and similar design directions.
Often, only curtains are hung in the bedrooms, not using tulle. Recently, this solution is gaining more and more popularity. Instead of shading curtains, blinds, roller blinds are used or do without them altogether.
This option for decorating a window is in some sense quite justified, especially if the curtains are almost always closed, the apartment is located above the first floor and there are no windows of the residents of the neighboring house opposite.
The curtains in the bedroom are often fitted with tie-backs. It is very convenient when there is an exit to the balcony in this room. But then it is important to provide a fastening for the rings on the curtain, which will not allow the curtain to move out of the center of the window. If curtains and tulle hang on the same hailstone, of course, the window will always be open. This option is also appropriate only on the upper floors, since the bedroom, like the toilet and bathroom, is an intimate place in the house, so privacy should come first.
Beautiful examples
Combining canvases of two shades of the same scale and tulle, you can emphasize the purpose of this room. Hardly anyone can argue that the combination of a delicate gray-beige shade of the main curtain with an additional curtain of silver color with an ornament and milky white tulle is suitable for any other room except for sleeping and relaxing.
An interesting solution when decorating a bedroom in a classic style. Luxurious tulle with a pattern is located both under and above the curtains, so that in the case of both open and closed windows, the classic color of the bedroom will be pronounced.
The curly multi-level ceiling, the classic massive chandelier and the pale blue main color in the room go well with the window frame.
Chromed eyelets and curtains, oddly enough, turned out to be very useful in the classic interior.
An excellent option for decorating a bedroom in a house where natural materials are abundant. The curtains on the eyelets are located not only on the window, but also on a kind of canopy, which creates a complete composition. The color combination is also very well chosen - a brown ribbon at the top reinforces the curtains and tulle, and light fabric adds lightness to the already airy and unencumbered interior.
