Materials

Modern fabrics are so diverse in composition, texture and color that they are easily able to fulfill their mission - to emphasize the style and beauty of the interior. A few points to consider when choosing fabrics for curtains.
Composition
If you prefer natural fabrics, you can easily choose the right colors. Manufacturers presented a wide range of linen, cotton and silk fabrics. When choosing a natural canvas, it is necessary to take into account that they require more attention in the care, they crumple and pollute more, but they are absolutely ecological and hypoallergenic.
Artificial fabrics are more practical and require simple maintenance. The original curtains for the living room in a modern style are shown below.
Colour
What will be the color of curtains depends on the overall design of the room. If the interior is made in bright colors, then the curtains can be in contrasting colors or with a bright pattern. In this case, you need to take into account that the colored curtains can quickly get bored, and you can consider the possibility of replacing them by seasons, in winter and summer.
If the color scheme of the interior is already quite juicy, the curtains are better to choose soothing colors that only emphasize the overall color scheme. Curtains can be the main decoration of the room or blend in with its design, depending on the color and texture of the selected fabric.

Note! You can consider the option when curtains will be in the tone of the interior, but do not forget at the same time the nuance of selecting fabric 2-3 shades lighter or darker than walls so that the curtains are not lost in the interior.
The presence of the figure
Fabrics with a print or pattern of different textures need to be approached with special attention, and this is an infrequent version of the modern interior. The strips, most often, are designed to increase the space of the room: the longitudinal visually expands it, the vertical ones make the ceiling higher.
A print or pattern can be geometric or floral, in the style of a general design. For example, if the interior contains vases or small sculptures of geometric shapes. A floral ornament can be combined with live plants or a pattern of upholstered furniture.
Tip! An original solution could be the use of one thick fabric for upholstering upholstered furniture and sewing night curtains. It should be remembered that all the rest of the design of the room will come from this interesting solution.
Choosing curtains, proceed not only from fashion trends, but also from your desires and practical needs. If you decide to create your own interior design, without resorting to the services of a professional designer, visualize the full picture of the finished room in your head or on a sheet of paper, as you can. And when choosing the entire design, including curtains, proceed from this picture, and do not follow the fleeting desire to buy the fabric you like or to realize the curtain model seen in the magazine. In this case, the curtains will delight your eyes, create comfort in the house and maintain a good mood of the household.
