Properties
It is necessary to understand that black and white colors are self-sufficient; they can completely decorate the interior alone, and at the same time it will look stylish. Together, you can achieve a unique result, but for this you need to know a few rules.
White color symbolizes purity and tenderness, something simple and calm. It is often used to decorate bedrooms and children's rooms, and is often present in bathrooms. Using white color in the interior you can visually expand the room and make it more spacious.
Black color is actually the opposite, it symbolizes clear, regular lines, aesthetics and completeness of the image. If you combine these colors correctly, you will be able to maintain the visual expansion of the space, and at the same time achieve completeness of the interior.
Black and white curtains are perfect for both black and white interiors. However, you can’t hang them in every room. An important role is also played by the type of curtains that will be made in this color scheme, as well as the ratio of colors and their location.
Most often you can find photos of black and white curtains in the interior of the living room, since this room is the largest and most spacious in the house, and the most daring ideas can be realized in it. However, such curtains can also be used in the kitchen, subject to certain observance of certain features of this room.
Design
The design of curtains is always quite eloquent, you just need to read it correctly.
- Plain light curtains always look festive, while increasing the living space.
- Contrasting inserts are always a bright accent.
- The drawing always emphasizes a certain style. If floristry on textiles speaks of a classical orientation, then geometric lines will fit into any modern interior.
In addition to the home, these curtains are incredibly popular for offices. They do not allow light to pass through if it interferes with work, but at the same time they look incredibly stylish and strict. Some cafes and restaurants use such textiles quite successfully.
Variations
There are several types of curtains in black and white colors.
Pastel palette
Delicate pastel shades go perfectly with black. With this choice, harmony is achieved, because there is no oversaturation of colors. Black walls enhance the colors that are next to them.
When introducing rich shades into the interior - green, red, orange, blue, this must be done with extreme caution, since next to black they become even brighter and more expressive. With pastel colors this effect is absent, so you can safely dilute the black with pastels. Light beige, sand, light yellow, pale pink, light blue or light blue, pale green, peach are suitable.
Patterned curtains
Basically, a black pattern is applied to a thick white fabric. This is actually a universal option that allows you to get very beautiful curtains. The design can be filled with flowers, various petals, or simple uncomplicated lines, depending on the design of the room.
It is less common to see a white pattern on thick black fabric. This is optimal if black is the dominant shade in the room. This way you can dilute the atmosphere a little and give it a little brightness.
If the curtains have stripes as a pattern, this is a great opportunity to expand the room a little. For a room with low ceilings, vertical lines are necessary. For a narrow room, horizontal lines on curtains are optimal.
You can also find an ordinary cell as a design. Such curtains are quite difficult to combine with anything; most often they are used in classic minimalism, in which various decorative elements and patterns are present to a minimum. In this case, the cell will actually be the only element that slightly dilutes the atmosphere.
Brown shades
To create an expensive and presentable interior, you can use a combination with brown shades. Typically, spacious rooms - halls and living rooms - are designed in this color scheme. For a bedroom, the tandem of black wallpaper with brown curtains on the windows is not suitable.
When combining these discreet classic colors, expensive materials must be used. When decorating the interior, designers recommend choosing furniture with leather upholstery, thick wallpaper with an original texture, curtains made of silk, velvet or brocade.
If the room seems too dark for you, add light colors to it. For rooms in this color scheme, it is better to choose light-colored furniture and floor coverings in the form of white long-pile carpets. Dark curtains will be diluted with light tulle.

Interior decoration
When decorating, take into account not only the tone of the curtains for black and white wallpaper, but also the shades of the floor and furniture.
White walls give the room a light and airy effect. Against their background, curtains with a black pattern, dark furniture and shiny details will look perfect.
By shading the white background with dark details, you can focus attention on specific elements.
Black curtains will decorate the room, but only in an ensemble with whitish tulle. Drawings and patterns for tulles should be selected that are the same as the curtains. In order not to create confusion in a diachrome interior, the pattern on the curtains should be voluminous.
Color influence
The black shade is cold, but at the same time light-absorbing. It can be intense and sophisticated at the same time. Everything here is due to the correctly introduced white tint. At the same time, black separates space, and white enlivens and increases the area. If black and white textiles on the windows fit perfectly into the decoration, then it brings it to perfection.
Black will look great in a bright and spacious room, but due to its richness, it can be tiring and depressing. Therefore, dilute dark shades with white color, which awakens positive emotions and peace of mind.
