5 nuances that you need to know before buying Roman curtains

1. What size should the curtains be?Before you buy, sew or order curtains in the atelier, you should make measurements of the window and determine the desired dimensions of the canvas in the finished form. The size of Roman curtains depends on the way they are fastened:

• Inside the window aperture - in this case the length should be such that their lower edge in the loose form lagged behind the windowsill by about 2 cm. With regard to the width of the curtains and the length of the cornice, they should be less than the width of the window opening as well as 1-2 cm;

• In front of the window, with the cornice attached to the wall or to the ceiling - then the width should be at least 10 cm (preferably 20 cm) greater than the width of the window. In principle, you can choose a larger width of the canvas, for example, in order to hide the pipe. The length of the finished product can be such that the window sill is covered by about 10 cm.

1. What fabrics to choose for Roman curtains in the kitchen?For sewing any fabrics can be used - from velvet to tulle.

Synthetic fabrics in the kitchen will be as practical as possible, but may not look very nice, Natural fabrics (linen, cotton, etc.) will give a strong shrinkage, difficult to wash and iron.

Therefore, the optimal "kitchen" option for the ratio of aesthetics and practicality will be mixed fabrics - they look good, absorb smells less and fade in the sun, and are also easier to wear and iron.

There is also an alternative option - Roman curtains made of woven bamboo (pictured below), which will be both easy to clean and natural.

1. What color and design should I choose?

• If the kitchen is small, then try to choose light curtains with an unobtrusive pattern, so as not to overload an already small space with a lot of things. Bright and motley fabrics are appropriate only if the interior of the kitchen is mostly in light colors;

• If the kitchen is narrow, then choose the curtains in a horizontal strip. If there is a problem of low ceilings, then you should choose the curtains in a vertical strip. Examples of striped design see below in the photo;

• If the kitchen is "southern then you should prefer curtains of cold colors: light gray, blue, blue, pink, lilac shade, etc.

• Accordingly, if the kitchen is "northern then we are looking for curtains of beige, cream, yellow, orange color and other warm tones.

• And, of course, you need to consider the style of the kitchen interior. Provence and country are characterized by natural colors and rustic motifs in the decor - cage, peas, cockerels, flowers, embroidery, laces, bows, etc.

Classic curtains should be either strict or simple, or have traditional patterns, such as a cage, "Damascus" or floral ornaments, while the quality of the fabric should be excellent.

For the Scandinavian interior of the kitchen, fabrics of either neutral or bright colors with original prints, for example, in the "color block" style, are suitable. Well, in minimalistic interiors and design curtains should be just as minimalistic.
