Do not despair if the layout of one of the rooms in the apartment consists of multiple window openings, which are difficult to decorate. Perhaps earlier, with a lack of textiles, this was a problem, but not now. There is nothing stopping you from making several windows in a row on one wall or adjacent ones beautiful and stylish. Below we describe how to decorate a room with three windows in any style.

Curtain for three windows

Functionality and practicality

A large window in a room is always good. Its significant drawback can be considered high heat transfer. You should pay attention to this even before installing the window profile.

When choosing a window profile, you should consult with a professional to decide which design and material is the most reliable.

You should not save money and buy cheap materials for windows. This will lead to the apartment being blown out and moisture entering it. A large window must be secure.

Window insulation options:

Use of vacuum structures;
Using energy-saving film.

The choice of registration method will depend on the expected price. Of course, the first method is more reliable. But with proper insulation, the second one is no less effective.

Methods for dividing a room into zones depend on the following factors:

Living room with two large windows in the interior

Typically, the living room is divided into a dining room and a relaxation area. The dividing element in this case is an arch, screen, glass or stained glass partition.

The floor in the dining area should be practical. It is recommended to lay linoleum or tiles. In the recreation area you can use soft and cozy carpeting.

2 windows in the living room can become the highlight of the interior. All you need is a little imagination and ingenuity. Proper decoration of the living room will demonstrate the refined taste of the owner of the house and will delight the guests. Below you can see a photo of the design of a living room with two windows.

Basic Rules

When decorating windows, you should remember a few important rules. There are few of them, but they are fundamental and will help you avoid serious mistakes during the work process.

Choose a design that matches the overall style of the room.
The type of design must correspond to the configuration features of the opening and hide the shortcomings.
Choose decor that will have design and functionality.

Features of modern style

No, there will not be a detailed excursion into the interior direction. But it’s worth remembering the details inherent in modern style.

There is no separate modern style in the interior. This concept unites almost all trends in design that appeared not so long ago. And often it is eclecticism, that is, a harmonious mixture of two or three styles.

For example, country and Provence, art deco and minimalism, hi-tech and techno. And, of course, curtains should suit both styles.

All modern trends have details that unite them:

Simple colors: sand, gray, beige, white, black shades, milk chocolate or ivory. And if you want to add color, you can do this using green, blue, orange, purple or red.
Simple forms. In modern interiors you will not find carved legs, inlays, or excessive decor.
Free space. All furnishings play their role, and often several. An ordinary table turns into a dining table, a small sofa into a full-fledged sleeping place, etc.
Convenience. Things in the house are only necessary. And the owners regularly use them. That is, there are no hot-spots in the living room or any other room.
Practicality. Caring for furniture, belongings, and textiles does not cause any trouble for the owners. The curtains on the windows are washable and may not even be ironed, the furniture is light and mobile, the finishing materials are natural, the color scheme is universal.
Multi-level lighting.

Any equipment looks in its place in a modern interior. But, if the TV will hang and not stand, then you need to think about the proper design of the wall with the TV.

Such interiors look expensive and prestigious, despite their apparent simplicity.

Knowing the characteristics of the direction, it is easier to decide how to design the windows.

Curtain style

As for the curtains in the room, they are without draperies, ruffles and often without lambrequins.

Some interior trends allow the use of trendy “clothing” for windows - blinds, roller blinds made of fabric, rattan or plastic.

What curtains are suitable for this or that style?

High tech

This style is exactly “friendly” with blinds – horizontal or vertical. If the owner does not like them due to their office nature, you can hang roller blinds or Roman blinds.

The color is discreet, monochromatic. If instead of blinds and roller blinds you want something more elegant and delicate for the windows, simple curtains without a pattern made of fabric with a metallic sheen (chiffon, nylon, organza) will do.

Vintage

Vintage is tenderness and naturalness in everything. This also applies to curtains. For them you need to take natural fabrics - cotton, linen, chintz. The drawing is mostly small.

Curtains – gently falling down, without unnecessary draperies and horizontal folds.

Curtains with large eyelets or fabric ties will look good.

Light colors - beige, light green, lavender, gray-blue, tea rose, white. But the colors... If the wall decoration is made in rich colors, then the pattern on the curtains should be in muted shades. And vice versa.

Art Deco

Art Deco is both modern and deliberately expensive. This is also reflected in textiles. The curtains on the windows are made of fabric that feels expensive even to the touch - brocade, velvet, silk, linen.

If velvet is chosen, shallow draperies are acceptable.

This design of windows in the living room looks especially cozy in rooms that face the north side of the house. In winter, such rooms are even more comfortable.

The color scheme is light, it can be black and white, so even thick velvet curtains do not burden the interior of the room.

Loft

A loft is absolute space, not restrained by partitions. If we interpret it as an attic, warehouse or hangar (this is how the name is translated from English), the question arises - do these rooms even have curtains? This means that they are not needed in a modern living room.

But the desire to hide your life from prying eyes is natural, so you can hang transparent tulle on the windows, and attach Roman blinds or roller blinds to the frames themselves to match the color of the frame.

Tulle will cover the room in daylight, and curtains will cover it in darkness (during the day they will merge with the frame).

Minimalism

This direction is in tune with high-tech. On the windows there are the same blinds, fabric roller blinds, roller blinds or light curtains made of fabric with a smooth structure.

The difference between these styles is the color. In the room you can use not only white or black, but also gray, sand, coffee with milk, muted gold, light shades of green or pink, beige.

There are many variations and you can choose the shade and model of curtains that suit your living room. See photos and get inspired by ideas.

Eclecticism

This is the direction we mentioned at the beginning of the article. And it perfectly characterizes the modern style in the interior.

Curtains of a delicate shade with a small pattern, characteristic of a country or vintage interior, are combined with high-tech furniture.
Curtains made of smooth fabric are suitable for minimalism, art deco, vintage, and Mediterranean styles.
Velvet curtains, which are found in art deco living rooms, will fit into a minimalist or Scandinavian interior.
Use a trick. The fabric from which the curtains are made should be repeated in other textile elements of the room, be it the upholstery of a sofa, the upholstery of a frameless chair, a hammock or pillowcases for decorative pillows.

Sea style

Let us combine under one definition two stylistic directions of premises: Scandinavian and Mediterranean.

They have similar common features: space, natural materials, a lot of light. Except that Scandinavians try to choose shades from a warm range due to the lack of sunlight. And residents of the Adriatic and nearby countries opt for a cool spectrum of tones. And this is also reflected in window textiles.

Translucent curtains made of smooth material.

For a Scandinavian interior, coffee colors, pinkish, beige, light yellow, and golden are suitable. Try not to use dark colors - this is not typical for this style

For the Mediterranean - white, blue, violet, pistachio, olive. They will visually cool the room.

On the windows of living rooms in a marine style you can find:

roller blinds. Characteristic of Mediterranean interiors, as they protect from the rays of the scorching sun;
wooden blinds. Often found in Scandinavian living rooms. Wooden plates protect from prying eyes, but at the same time add coziness and let in light.

The common denominator in the design of living room windows in a modern style is elegant simplicity, lightness and light shades. So smooth fabric, fabric blinds or roller blinds, Roman or roller blinds will be appropriate in almost any interior.

Design of a large living room with two windows

In the design of a living room with two large windows, you don’t have to stop only at light colors for the walls, floors and ceilings. Such a room is flooded with light, so dark shades are often used when decorating it. Walls decorated with stone or natural wood look beautiful.

Cold colors (for example, blue) of the walls and floors will make the living room feel large and uncomfortable. You can paint the walls in warm dark colors or light colors. One of them can be highlighted by painting it with darker paint, pasting photo wallpaper, wallpaper with an original pattern, design or texture.

If the room has high ceilings, then they are decorated in dark colors. A suspended ceiling imitating a starry sky will look impressive.

Black and white ceiling in a large living room with two windows

There should be many sources of artificial light in a large living room. A chandelier or spotlights are suitable for general lighting. For zone lighting, floor lamps and sconces are installed.

If the living room has a large area, then more furniture can be installed in it. Armchairs, a sofa and a coffee table can be placed in the middle of the room facing the windows, as is customary in Western countries. In addition to the minimum set of furniture, you can arrange soft ottomans, a sideboard (buffet), a wardrobe, a bookcase, and bookcases.

How to apply?

In addition to selecting the type of curtains and their material, you should also take into account the type of window being decorated. A bay window is installed in the outer portions of the walls, although such projections can be equipped with balcony doors. Such a step will significantly increase the useful area in the home and increase the illumination of the guest area.

The main tasks when designing and decorating these windows are protection from excessive sun penetration (on the southern sides of houses), retaining heat during the winter season and maintaining optimal lighting.

You'll have to use a lot of material or come up with original moves. The already mentioned Japanese and Roman curtains will be the best way out. If you wish and have good stylistic compatibility, you can use French and English varieties equipped with tiebacks and lambrequins.

According to designers, bay windows are well compatible with thread curtains of iridescent color. The cornice should be selected that coincides with the line of the wall along the entire ceiling and is secured securely, because you will need to hold two or even three layers of thick curtains.

If a single curtain is used, make sure that it moves easily and freely in two directions along the baguette line. This means that it is undesirable to use a hook or clothespin as a hanger; they will constantly cling to each other. Check whether the grip of the end tips is reliable and whether they can hold the structure suspended.

Attention: ceiling cornices, despite all their external beauty, have a significant weakness - they can only be hung properly by trained specialists with the availability of tools.

If curtains are hung with eyelets, it is preferable to use round baguettes.

But multilayer structures with lambrequins are best combined with closed baguettes. String cornices cannot be bent, and therefore they are unacceptable in bay windows. It is easiest to set the required level of curvature with a metal pipe.

A large window (panoramic type) is designed in such a way that the curtains match not only the style of the living room, but also the view outside the window. So, industrial landscapes go well with minimalism and a loft inside, and if you can see a residential building or a children's playground, then you need to choose the classics.

It is strictly unacceptable to use curtains with small patterns, since they will be visually lost in a large room.

Short strips of material and all solutions in which the pattern is directed diagonally are also incompatible with panoramic windows; this is a very uncomfortable design.

Inversion brings benefits when the curtain is made dark and the curtain is made lighter. Or a thick curtain is hung inside, in front of which a transparent fabric is used in the room.

It is better to decorate a small window not with sophisticated, eye-catching curtains of bright colors, but in more neutral ways. The use of lambrequins and curtains helps to visually expand the windows, and the cornice should be wider than the frame itself, and light tulle or chiffon should be hung on it.

Roman designs are useful for almost all small windows, but keep in mind that they can only be hung on a special type of curtain rod.

Multiple windows

It is rare to find a situation where there is only one opening in the living room. If there are several of them, curtains can be used either completely identical, or repeating through one, and the most varied in appearance (while maintaining symmetry). It is very important to use a homogeneous type of matter.

When you know that there are two or three windows in the living room, this is not enough to make the right decision. One approach should be when placing them on touching walls. Another is when they are all on one of the walls. The key unshakable rule is the complete identity of all openings, the exclusion of asymmetry in a classic interior. A slight difference can only be afforded in a modern setting.

Stylish unity is expressed in the use of visually matching (in color and texture) textile products.

Construction with a balcony

If the hall has not a simple window, but a balcony door, it will be more difficult to properly design this structure.

An important rule: you should not choose dark tones, unless they are immediately diluted with bright and rich colors.

This option looks good when the entire window and balcony block is completely hidden by a light green curtain of large width, and only a small corner is left to open the door. This is especially attractive when overlooking the night sky.

If you want to see the outline of the window sill and the exit to the balcony, installing decor from lilac vertical stripes is a completely original solution; they create a romantic twilight and still let in quite a lot of light.

Decor

To decorate a window opening with curtains, you should think not only about their appearance, but also about functionality. Minimalism is currently in fashion.

The classic one is always popular when the straight fabric flows down, forming vertical folds. There are several methods of fastening. The most commonly used are loop, string and grommet. Sometimes consumers choose options when the curtains themselves are made in light colors, and the fittings and cornice are dark in color.

Colored curtains are perfect for a Japanese-style living room.

Roman canvases also have their positive features, which very simply regulate the level of lighting. For a single curtain, it is important that it can move freely. Accordingly, it is recommended to avoid hooks and clothespins. Round baguettes will be the best option for eyelets, and closed ones - for multi-layer ones with lambrequins.

If the living room is of impressive size, you should abandon curtains whose patterns are too small. Diagonal patterns and shortened models are not suitable for panoramic windows.

It’s better not to focus attention on a small window; pastel or neutral curtains are perfect. Roman canvases are also suitable here, but you need to take into account that a certain type of cornice must be provided for them.

Decoration of window openings

Asymmetrical window design is welcome only in certain modern interior styles, for example, modern. In most other styles, including classic, window openings within the same room should be designed in the same style. Uneven design spoils the overall picture of the interior with illogical asymmetry.

The windows should be decorated identically. You can use the mirror effect.

In the interior of a living room with two windows, there should be a harmony of curtains with other textile decorative elements - furniture trim, decorative pillows, blankets, carpet. It is very organic when the color of the curtains matches the color of the sofa cushions.

Simple design of window openings in a living room with two windows

In accordance with the advice of designers, it is not recommended to use bulky curtains made of dense, heavy materials. You can save space and add lightness to the interior by hanging Roman blinds. They are very popular today. Blinds are suitable for small windows.

Window frames and window sills can be made of any material: both modern white metal-plastic and traditional and environmentally friendly natural wood. If wooden frames are installed, then the interior of the living room should also have wooden elements (for example, beams on the ceiling).

Living room with two windows in a modern style

To highlight window openings and make them an accent of the interior, when choosing curtains you can:

- combine different colors;

- use unusual fabrics;

- choose original drawings and patterns;

- experiment with length.

If the window openings are small, narrow and located on one wall, then you can cover them with one curtain.

In the process of window decoration there is an opportunity to show your imagination. If you choose the Swedish interior style, then you should completely abandon curtains. Then increased attention should be paid to the finishing of the window sills.

Living room with two windows without large curtains

You can decorate the window space by placing small potted plants on the windowsills. The main thing is that these plants love sunlight.

If the living room windows offer a dull view, then they can be decorated with colorful translucent stained glass windows. Creating fake windows with colored stained glass will look original. They can occupy the entire wall opposite the one on which the real sources of natural light are located.

Additional Tips

Experts believe that knowing a few nuances will help create an attractive appearance in a room. Let's consider those that relate to the design of windows in the living room. For a living room made in pastel colors, it makes sense to focus on the window. Otherwise, the room may seem dull and faceless.

Dark curtains with a three-dimensional pattern attract attention perfectly. However, you need to keep in mind that this solution is not suitable for every interior.

If the TV is located directly opposite the window, it is best to opt for blackout curtains. Sunlight will not break through them and interfere with viewing. In addition, if the apartment is located on the ground floor, such curtains will perfectly screen the room from the views of strangers passing by.

It should be borne in mind that heavy fabrics are not recommended for small rooms; they will weigh down the interior and visually make the living room even smaller. Large rooms should be draped with floor-length curtains that have a large and bright pattern. Monograms or lace themes are perfect.

A striped pattern visually extends the room in length or width, depending on the direction of the stripes.

It is recommended to avoid curtains made from natural fabrics in rooms facing south. The fact is that under the influence of the sun it can fade very quickly, and accordingly, its appearance will be lost. Light materials will make the room brighter.

With the right approach to design, the living room will always be a pleasure to be in.

Original living room without window

Don’t be upset if there are no windows in the living room, because there are several tricks to make the room look beautiful and original.

Among the most popular options are:

A living room decorated in dark colors looks good with spotlights

A fireplace will help create a cozy homely atmosphere in the room. Of course, this is not allowed in a room without a hood, but a false fireplace or electric hearth will greatly decorate the room.

A false window is a good design analogue of a real window, and you can decorate it with illuminated stained glass elements or place it on the ceiling looking like a photo print of a blue sky with clouds.

A luminous ceiling can also decorate a room; it is made from lighting evenly placed behind a translucent PVC stretch film, which transmits light but makes its sources invisible.

Photo wallpaper on the wall can connect a room without windows with nature, and therefore give the room some zest. For example, photo wallpaper depicting snowy mountains will help breathe freshness into the closed space of the room.

Square hall design

The design of a hall in a private house in the form of a “square” is recommended to be designed taking into account:

existing architectural elements;
level of natural light;
location of window openings;
area.

In a large square living room, you can install a set of chocolate-colored upholstered furniture, “filling” the room with warmth.

Glossy surfaces would be inappropriate here, since there is already plenty of space.

Highlighting the compositional center of the room can be done by lighting or placing a large carpet or fireplace on the floor. Nearby you can install an unusually shaped table with an openwork tabletop and twisted legs.

A small square hall should be filled with light-colored furniture, decorating the walls in the same way. The presence of all kinds of niches in the hall can be filled with comfortable lamps with cozy armchairs, creating a relaxation area here. They are also great for arranging flower pots and arranging shelves with books.

Living room interior in a wooden house

The modern design of a living room in a private house made of wood can be decorated in different ways, but with any decision, designers advise taking into account:

diverse lighting;
optimization of free space;
the ratio of the size of the room to the size of the furniture.

As a rule, you should not cover beautiful wooden walls, but it is better to additionally treat them with light-colored varnish. Choosing furniture in pastel colors will give the room an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. The floor can be covered with boards or parquet, which goes well with log walls.

Interesting living room design with two windows: 5 ideas and tips

Two windows are quite enough for large and medium-sized living rooms. The design of a living room with two windows and other non-standard lighting solutions requires a special approach. The number of windows that differs from one gives additional space for imagination, but also has its own difficulties that need to be overcome when decorating the living room. Usually, it is difficult for ordinary people to come up with the furnishings for a room with a non-standard layout and they turn to experienced designers, but with a certain amount of creative potential, you can furnish the room yourself.

How to decorate a window sill?

The window sill is an integral part of the window; sometimes it is a functional element of the living room. For example, if the room has an excellent view of the city or nature, a window sill can replace a soft seat if complemented with pillows. This is possible if you are dealing with a low window opening.

It is pleasant to sit in such a place, observing life outside the window (it promotes relaxation).

The window can be supplemented with a wooden bench under it, where it is good to place pots of flowers. This element would be a great addition to a country style living room. You can also make shelves for books under the window.

A library under the windowsill will look stylish and give the atmosphere of the living room a special intellectual overtone.

Choose your curtain design for three windows in a room!

Do not despair if the layout of one of the rooms in the apartment consists of multiple window openings, which are difficult to decorate.
Perhaps earlier, with a lack of textiles, this was a problem, but not now. There is nothing stopping you from making several windows in a row on one wall or adjacent ones beautiful and stylish. Below we describe how to decorate a room with three windows in any style. Curtain for three windows

Which curtains to choose?

The choice of curtains is determined by many components. We can talk about a private house with a balcony in the room where guests and household members gather.

In the living room of a city apartment there may be a window with a balcony door. Sometimes there is not one window in the hall, but two or three. It can be small or large. If the windows in the room are located at different heights, you can compensate for this by using a lambrequin or a wide baguette cornice.

Lambrequins are also good to use on panoramic windows. If the living room has access to a balcony, this design model is not suitable: problems will arise with opening the door.

Fabric sheets on several windows, due to the symmetry of the arrangement, will give the room additional height. A common curtain on several window openings will visually make the living room wider. To achieve this effect, you need to use a single tulle curtain that runs across all the windows, and hang sliding curtains along the edges. Curtains with a horizontal pattern will also help to make the window visually wider. Although this is only appropriate in rooms with low ceilings.

To make a low-lying window appear higher, the cornice must be placed right under the ceiling, using curtains with grommets.

The disadvantages of a narrow window, which allows little natural light into the room, can be easily compensated for by a wide cornice. Taking into account its size, it is necessary to select curtains. This will help hide the small size of the window opening. In this case, with the curtains open, the windows will be fully used to transmit daylight.

About cornices

When decorating your interior design with three windows, it is important to remember the cornices. Their choice should also be approached responsibly. For example:

Smooth rods. Made of metal, designed for curtains with eyelets and styles that welcome progressive trends - hi-tech, minimalism. Wood is suitable for natural fabrics, PVC will bring fabrics to the foreground, remaining unnoticed. For three windows, the rod should not be thick.
Short double rods. Suitable for several openings installed right up to the ceiling in rooms with considerable height.
Ceiling. They will bring the curtains to the foreground, thereby increasing the space of the openings if they are small, or reducing the height of the ceilings, which also sometimes looks bad.
Strings. They are intended only for light fabrics and the design of several windows, if they are complex - French, Berlin, Romanesque. Thus, they are emphasized favorably - the string is practically invisible.

You don’t need to spend a lot of time choosing curtains – it’s easy to do for three windows. It is important to carefully consider the options, even before purchasing paintings, and then the apartment or house will be transformed as desired.

Additional Tips

When choosing curtains and decorating windows, you need to take into account some nuances of interior design:

if the walls, ceiling and upholstery of upholstered furniture are made in a monochromatic light color scheme, it is better to focus attention on the window;
dark-colored curtains with a voluminous pattern will attract attention (whether this is beneficial or not depends on the specific design decision of the living room);
if there is a TV in front of the window in the living room, it is better to decorate the window opening using thick curtains: they will help prevent light from entering the TV screen while watching programs (for apartments located on the first floors of buildings, thick curtains will be a salvation from prying eyes);
heavy fabrics are beautiful and look expensive, but they are only appropriate in spacious living rooms: a small room with such curtains seems even smaller than it is;

100% natural fabrics should not be used on windows facing south, they will quickly fade and lose their elegant appearance;
to make the room seem lighter, it is better to avoid heavy textiles: light tulle, organza, thin silk or taffeta will be just right;
in small living rooms, choose window decorations that match the color of the wallpaper: this way you can visually make the room larger (plain curtains or accessories with small ornaments will look equally good);
For a hall of impressive size, curtains with large multi-colored patterns (for example, monograms or lace, plant themes) are suitable.
A striped pattern on curtains affects the perception of the height and width of the window; a horizontal stripe makes the window area wider, a vertical stripe makes it taller.

Smart living room design without windows

A living room without windows is, of course, the result of redevelopment and is a particularly difficult case for design. However, do not despair, because taking into account some important points, you can make the room beautiful and quite suitable for spending time in it comfortably.

If there are no windows in the living room, then you need to make good lighting by installing a sufficient number of lighting fixtures

Here are the key points to consider when renovating a windowless living room:

You definitely need to think about the lighting in the room, installing not only a chandelier, but also point light sources in the room;
A living room without a window is deprived not only of light, but also of the possibility of ventilation, so you need to carefully consider the ventilation system;
An already dark room should not be aggravated by dark colors in the decoration; it is better to make the walls light, although the floor, for example, can be left dark so that the contrast visually expands the room;
It is recommended to leave the walls as free as possible from a large number of paintings and home photographs;
Textiles add coziness and harmony to any room, and therefore a living room that has lost curtains must have other textile elements in the interior, for example, rugs, bedspreads or blankets.

Considering these key points, a room without a window will look no worse than its lighter counterparts.
