Curtains for the hall in 2022
For several years now, curtains made in a minimalist style have been especially popular. They put comfort first and only then beauty.
Natural shades and images are also chosen. But don’t forget that 2022 is also a time of experiments and references to the past.
Tulle for curtains: types and features
Perhaps few people know that there are several types of tulle. The photo of curtains with tulle shows several types of it. Moreover, not every one of them will go well with thick curtains, so this feature should definitely be taken into account so as not to make a mistake.
In combination with curtains, tulle made of light and airy material looks good. Since a fairly dense or pressed thread, which has a high density, does not match the texture of heavy curtains at all.
It is not necessary to refuse to use mesh tulle if we are talking about a model made of a thinner material. Because the finished canvas looks sophisticated and weightless. In combination with thick curtains, this tulle will look even better.
Many designers agree that the best option for creating a successful combination with thick curtains is organza tulle. Such sets of curtains with tulle look very beautiful.
The only drawback of the material is the lack of soft and smooth folds. But if this does not contradict the general style, then there is no need to worry about it.
In the catalog you can find not only plain models, but also those decorated with plant or animal prints, as well as intricate patterns with monograms or embroidery. It is also possible to purchase tulle with various decorating accessories.
But when choosing such tulle, it is important to remember that it must match the design of the room. For example, if the interior of the room is classic, then tulle, which looks pompous, is unlikely to be appropriate here. It is also important not to forget that tulle decorated with embroidery looks more harmonious when combined with thick curtain fabric.
Modern curtains for the living room
A modern hall is usually decorated in the same style. Modern curtains can be very simple, but with massive curtains or, on the contrary, made in the Art Nouveau style.
Modern style is not afraid to experiment with shapes, colors and decorative elements.
As an option for modern curtains, you can choose curtains with eyelets. They look very good and allow you to focus attention either on yourself or on other pieces of furniture. Curtains can also be French, roller, Austrian or Roman.
Curtains without lambrequin
Recently, the combination of beauty and practicality has become increasingly relevant, and many people prefer to abandon additional elements of curtains, such as a lambrequin. At the same time, the style and design of the living room as a whole does not lose at all.
There are many ways to decorate curtains without a lambrequin, for example, swags, frills, tiebacks or cascades
When choosing a curtain design, it is important to answer the following questions:
- Will the living room need to be completely darkened?
- Should curtains be movable?
- Will there be furniture under the curtains?
- How often will the curtains be changed?
With an externally simple design, curtains can become a worthy bright accent, giving your living room individuality and style.
Curtains with a realistic image printed on the fabric look especially impressive.
If the living room design is decorated in a monochromatic color scheme, curtains with photo printing or patterns will be an ideal addition to the interior.
French curtains for the living room
French curtains are a beautiful option for the hall. They are a cascade with a large number of folds on top of each other.
Such folds fall very nicely and this allows you to create a very beautiful design. French curtains usually come with lambrequins. Lambrequins make them even more beautiful and solemn. It is best to hang such curtains on two windows in a row.
Formation of a niche
To prevent this from happening, create a niche under the curtains. It is done during installation of the ceiling. The length of the niche corresponds to the length of the window opening or extends above it the entire length of the wall.
A niche is created to hide all the accessories for attaching the curtains.
The width of the niche is calculated based on the number and density of curtains that you plan to hang. You can make the width with a margin, allowing for the possible replacement of curtains.
The width of the niche should cover the width of the space under the window and the width of the heating radiator, if there is one there.
If this is not provided, the curtains will not be able to hang perfectly vertically due to the creases that form on them.
With proper installation of a film false ceiling with a niche, it will only be noticeable when it is as close as possible to the curtains. From any other place in the room, the only thing that will catch your eye is the curtains, as if flowing from the height of the ceiling.
It is necessary to calculate the parameters of the niche so that the curtains in it move freely. A niche in a suspended ceiling can be created not only above the window, but also in any part of the room, to divide the room into zones.
Roller blinds for the living room
The design of curtains for the living room should not only be beautiful, but also comfortable. This option is extremely rare in the hall. But if the hall is connected to a balcony, then such curtains are the best option.
But even seemingly simple roller blinds can be beautifully placed in the living room. They look good in rooms designed in a modern style. In this case, the emphasis is placed, for example, on pillows or a sofa. Roller blinds can be plain or contain various decorative elements.
Sliding
The sliding type of curtains involves opening the curtains on the sides of the window. As a rule, the upper part of such curtains is fixed vertically to the cornice. Sliding curtains can be adjusted in width and height.
Photo curtains
This is a fairly new type of curtains for the Russian market. For their manufacture, dense opaque fabrics are used, for example, darkened or satin. For those who like to sleep in the morning, these tents will be a pleasant surprise. The design is applied to the fabric using digital printing.
Therefore, you can make almost any design you like on curtains to order. In addition, manufacturers produce bed linen and tablecloths with photo prints, which allows the composition to be linked together in the interior. The curtains move to the sides like regular straight curtains.
Thread curtains (muslin)
This curtain is made of heavy silk threads. Due to the weight, the threads do not get tangled. Thread curtains can also be used for decorating doors or zoning in the interior
Japanese curtains
This type of tent has a rigid structure. Curtains are attached to the frame. Typically the width of the tape does not exceed 1 meter. Japanese curtains are not adjustable in height, but are shifted according to the width of the window. Such curtains are very similar to screens, which are used as light partitions in a room. The use of Japanese curtains is appropriate in the interior and in Japanese minimalism.
Blinds
Increasingly, designers are choosing fashionable curtains instead of traditional ones in a modern-style living room (photo below). This is especially true for minimalistic and modern interiors, where the amount of finishing is minimized and there is no need to create comfort in the traditional sense - with the help of an abundance of multi-layered fabrics.
Shutters are made from a variety of materials: plastic, bamboo, wood, aluminum, fabric and even paper. Structurally, they can be vertical or horizontal. The first ones move in one direction or from the center in different directions; the slats can be rotated 180 degrees. The seconds rotate around their axis, adjusting the amount of light entering the room, and rise up.
Cafe curtains
This type of curtain includes short curtains, the length of which does not fall below the upper edge of the window sill. Cafe curtains are attached to a cornice or strip located in the center of the window. The fabric can be thick or transparent. In addition, various decorative elements can be used: buttons, loops, loops, etc. The height of the bar curtains allows light to enter the window even when it is closed.
Crossed curtains
Sheets of this type of curtains are fixed on opposite sides of the cornice. The curtain fabric goes from intersection to intersection. Such curtains can consist of either halves or linen draped over a cornice.
Classic straight curtains
This type of curtains is the most common. Classic straight curtains consist of thick curtains and light curtains mounted vertically on a curtain rod. You can use lined curtains.
Austrian curtains for the living room
Beautiful curtains for the living room are Austrian curtains. They can be light or, conversely, heavy. Light curtains make rooms very bright and visually make the room larger and freer. Heavy curtains look very elegant and solemn.
Austrian curtains are a combination of French and Roman curtains. They make the room truly royal.
Choosing a cornice
When buying a cornice, take into account the load that thick transparent night curtains will carry on it. It must be strong and reliable enough to support the structure.
Convenience and ease of use are no less important - the curtain fastening elements should slide freely and unhindered along the cornice. Aluminum structures are considered the most durable, the additional advantage of which is their affordable price.
Wooden curtain rods are more expensive, but they are often preferred for aesthetic reasons. They go perfectly with the natural surfaces of the furniture set and are ideal for rooms decorated in warm colors - for example, they will be the ideal frame for curtains for a beige living room.
Definitely do not choose plastic designs for heavy night curtains - they are unlikely to withstand the weight of the fabric, and fasteners that deform under the weight of the fabric will cause a lot of inconvenience when moving the curtains.

How to choose fabric for curtains
The choice of fabric is determined not only by the design decision, but also by the dimensions of the room and the opening itself. Small living rooms are not suitable for lush curtains, products with an abundance of draperies and folds. But Japanese curtains will look very good. If the design allows, roller shutter designs that help save space are also suitable.
A good solution for a small room would be fabric that matches the color of the walls. It is better to make both the first and second ones in light shades - then the room will look more spacious.
Sometimes it is also practiced to select the color of the fabric to match the furniture set or flooring. Cold tones make the room visually more spacious, while warm tones make it smaller, but create an atmosphere of intimacy and comfort.
If the wall decoration has an ornament, the curtains should be plain or have a pattern whose lines are in harmony with the walls. If the pattern on the walls is ornate and the pattern on the curtains is sharp or geometric, they will not fit well together.
In general, if the walls have a monochromatic, laconic finish in light colors, the design of the room can be diversified with curtains with a pattern (including embossed or other textured).
If there is a lot of furniture and decorative items in the room, it is better to make the curtains lightweight, from translucent fabric. The same applies to cases where the walls are decorated with wallpaper with ornaments. The interior will be completed by pillows or other objects covered with the fabric from which the curtains are made.
