This allows you not only to save money, but also to put your ideas, tastes, and even a piece of your soul into each room design. But to create a harmonious interior, it is necessary to take into account certain rules and conditions, which we will consider in this article.

General style
Two design styles have become very fashionable in recent years.
Choosing wallpaper and curtains for a room: nuances, how to achieve harmony by combining different textures and prints
In a large room, the color or pattern of the wallpaper does not matter much. Here everything depends only on the tastes of the owners and the chosen style.

In a small room, choosing wallpaper is an important and difficult task. They will allow you to visually expand the space, if you take into account some nuances.
Drawings and patterns should be small, because large ones visually make the room smaller. But it’s best to stick to plain wallpaper.

If the ceiling is low, choose wallpaper with vertical stripes. A horizontal strip will help “expand” a narrow wall.

In a small room, a combination of two types of wallpaper in the same color scheme looks beautiful and advantageous. For example, the upper part is made with lighter wallpaper, and the lower part is made darker.

Curtains are chosen last, taking into account the overall style, color scheme, availability of furniture, and accessories. In a small room, open window openings are preferable.

But without any curtains, the room does not look very cozy and stylish. Therefore, you should choose light, airy fabrics in light or neutral colors, maybe transparent.
You shouldn't hang long, heavy curtains; they look out of place. It is better to choose Roman curtains or blinds. The color of the curtains should be light, the material should be light and airy.
It is not recommended to cover the entire wall with curtains; only cover the window opening, otherwise the room will look overloaded.
