At the same time, it is important that the canvases are combined with the overall design of the room and look harmonious in color design.
Pros and cons of white curtains
Before purchasing such curtains, you need to understand all the advantages and disadvantages of white curtains in the interior.
- white curtains perfectly reflect light, making the room seem brighter;
- since white fabric does not heat up so much, the room is cooler on a hot day than a room with dark curtains;
- white color goes with almost everything, so curtains of this color will be a good solution in any room style;
- visually increase the height of the ceiling;
- white curtains with horizontal stripes, for example black and white curtains, can visually expand the room.
Among the disadvantages of white curtains, there is only one - curtains of this color get dirty very quickly.
It is clear that they can be accidentally stained by pets or small children, but it is also worth understanding that the white color turns yellow and darkens very quickly. Quite frequent washing will quickly make the appearance of the curtains not very attractive, and dry cleaning services cost significant expenses.
In order for white curtains to last as long as possible, you should choose those that are made with dirt-repellent impregnation, then they will not collect dust so quickly.

Wallpaper is chosen as the base material for finishing. There are several ways to contrast walls with light-colored wallpaper.
Let's look at the main methods:
- Vertical stripes – using vertical stripes on the walls you can increase the space. Additionally, you can increase the size of the ceiling. An excellent combination of white wallpaper with vertical stripes will work out if you choose wallpaper from the same manufacturer and the same type. This way your room will look aristocratic. As for the color palette, it is allowed to use similar colors or completely opposite ones.
- Horizontal stripes - this type of stripes can expand the volume of a room. But there is one drawback - such wallpaper can narrow the space even more and it will begin to seem to you that a low ceiling has suddenly appeared in the room.
- Half-division of the wall - this scheme clearly looks like this: the upper part can be painted in any pastel color, but the most fashionable color in this period of time is vintage (small flowers, with thin stems), and the lower part is decorated in a light color.
In addition, paint is often used in combination with stencils. Paint is usually chosen with either a glossy or matte finish.
For the floor, choose linoleum, tiles, laminate and parquet. The choice of color palette depends on the style you choose.

White curtains in the children's room
A children's room requires such a textile element as a curtain, but white is not always a good option. If, nevertheless, the choice fell on curtains of this color, then you need to take into account the following points for the final choice:
- the material from which the curtain is sewn should not cause allergies;
- Linen and cotton fabrics are considered more suitable materials; they practically do not collect dust and do not become electrified;
- a good option is curtains with flowers, characters from your favorite cartoons, because classic patterns or plain curtains will quickly get boring for a child;
- Almost all children like to wrap themselves in tulle and curtains, so it is worth attaching a light, plastic curtain rod for greater safety.
