Types of kitchen curtains. Choosing curtains for the kitchen (103 photos): extraordinary models

The kitchen - the room in which the hearth is located, remains for us the main place in the house. Therefore, it is so important to make it cozy and attractive. To do this, you have to follow fashionable interior trends, in which curtains play an important role. We suggest that you do not stand aside and familiarize yourself with the selection of curtains for the kitchen.

Straight curtains and tulle

When creating an interior, the dictum "my house is my rules" today becomes the basis of design ideas. But in the pursuit of self-realization, one should not completely neglect fashion trends.

It must be remembered that not every curtain is perceived on modern kitchen adequately. This and next year, style solutions for window decoration gravitate towards simple and laconic forms, and practicality strengthens its position.

Pretentious, richly adorned with accessories, curtains, especially when it comes to a workspace like the kitchen, fade into the background. Exactly what changes the design of curtains for the kitchen has undergone and their novelties you will see in our photo selection.

Straight curtains with tulle are a timeless classic. It is quite diverse and is not limited to sets of two curtains (one for each half of the window) and one curtain.

Modern classic curtains for the kitchen can be on eyelets, with or without a lambrequin, of different lengths, and also made specifically for windows with a balcony door. Let's consider all of them in more detail.

In the photo there is a fashionable novelty - elegant elongated curtains.

Classic curtains and tulle... Long thick curtains or light curtains to the floor in combination with tulle have always been popular and are likely to remain so for a very long time. When choosing them for the kitchen, it is advisable to observe several rules:

Large webs of fabric collect a lot of dust. Therefore, the material of curtains and curtains should be easy to clean.
The kitchen needs light all the time. Therefore, curtains or curtains should not be too thick.
Long curtains should not be hung over the window next to the set or dining table.

If we talk about the color combination, then snow-white or with a light shade in the color of the curtains (matte or with a slight sheen) remain the most win-win and simple option.

The kitchen is one of the few places in the house where curtains play mainly a decorative function, so windows decorated only with tulle are still in trend here. This solution is especially true for small spaces.

Airy tulle curtains will create a warm and cozy atmosphere, will not interfere with light streams and will not "eat up" the space. And in order to hang them beautifully, there are many ways: one curtain for the whole window, two crossed, a long canvas thrown with a sag over the cornice.

Curtains on eyelets... Curtains, in the upper part of which holes are cut, framed by metal or plastic rings (eyelets), which make it possible to conveniently and firmly fasten the curtains to the cornice, are becoming more and more popular from year to year.

They are positioned so that, when assembled, the fabric panels fall from the eaves in even vertical folds. Eyelets visually ennoble the curtains, give them a refined elegance and do not need additional decorations, since they themselves are not only fasteners, but also an element of decor.

In the photo there are modern curtains for the kitchen made of translucent organza. The eyelets create beautiful deep pleats.

Stylistically, curtains with eyelets for the kitchen are universal. They can be long or short, sewn from light or curtain fabric, plain or patterned.

For any interior style: strict classics, avant-garde high-tech, warm Provence, naive shabby chic, romantic country, you can choose suitable option... It should be borne in mind that although curtains with grommet fastening do not need additional decorations, original, corresponding to the interior tips on the cornice are not only permissible for them, but even welcome.

Curtains with lambrequin... Lambrequin is a horizontal drapery that frames the upper part of the curtains. There are almost more varieties of lambrequins than types of curtains, but this year designers recommend using only a few of them. It is better to make the choice in favor of the following models:

Soft draperies made of light light fabric in the form of a short curtain covering only the upper third of the window in the form of a swag, half-swag or a scarf thrown over the cornice. It is better to forget about complex options, consisting of several details: frills, ties, bells.

As noted above, pretentiousness this season is not welcome, therefore, massive lambrequins with fringes and tassels will also have to be abandoned.

Rigid lambrequins on the bando also remain popular. They should be laconic, made in the form of a narrow strip, or a small triangle, as well as with an arched or curly bottom edge. The fabric for sewing a rigid lambrequin is taken the same as for curtains, but in principle it can be any.

For a kitchen with an interior tending to luxury, you can choose an openwork lambrequin made by laser cutting - an ideal alternative to the usual lambrequin on a bandeau. With it, the window will look elegant and sophisticated.

Straight curtains and tulle for a window with a balcony door... Economically, the kitchen with access to the balcony is very convenient, but due to the asymmetry of the window and balcony opening, it needs a special design solution. In addition, the balcony door in most cases opens inward, and ordinary curtains will constantly cling to it.

This season, designers propose to design a window with a balcony as follows.

One wide long panel with a pick-up from the side of the window. During the day, such a curtain is collected in the hold, and at night they open and hang the entire opening. Displacement of the curtain from the center of the eaves in this case is only welcome, since decorating a window combined with a balcony assumes asymmetry, which allows you to freely open and close the door.

Another option is two curtains with hooks. A curtain on the floor is hung on the balcony door, and the length of the curtain on the window depends on how the window sill and the space under it are used. During the day, these curtains are always gathered.

Layering is also in trend this season. So, on the window you can hang the tulle cut along the bias (the short side is near balcony door, and the long one goes down to the windowsill), and on the door there is a long narrow tulle and a dense curtain. In this case, the cornice will have to be brought forward 5-7 centimeters more than usual. During the day, the curtain remains open and does not interfere with the use of the balcony door, and at night it can be closed completely.

Straight short curtains... Cropped curtains in the kitchen are primarily practical. And practicality in the interior, as has been said more than once, came to the fore this season. These are especially relevant in cases where the work surfaces or the dining table are located in the area of the window opening.

The most relevant in the 2019 season for the kitchen are:

Roman curtains

These are lifting curtains, the adjustment of which is carried out using a special manual or electric mechanism that collects the canvases in even parallel folds.

Their laconic design gives the interior a strict elegance and fully corresponds to the main fashion trend of the seasons, focused on simplicity and ergonomics.

Suitable for all interior styles, since they can be hung not only independently, but also combined with tulle, horizontal blinds or straight curtains.

If the kitchen is not overflowing with decor and is decorated in calm dull colors, designers advise creating color accents on such curtains and making them the main accessory in the interior.

V Lately it has become fashionable to hang frameless on one window over a frame Roman blind.

The second differs from the first in that there are no slats in its design that support the strict geometric shape of the horizontal folds. Because of this, frameless models of Roman blinds gather in soft folds, and their edges hang down with "ears", like a lambrequin. This window design looks especially good in two when the curtains are made of partner fabrics: plain and with a pattern.

Austrian curtains

Austrian curtains are also classified as lifting curtains and combine the practicality of Roman and sophistication of French models. Usually they are raised two-thirds of the height of the window.

In the raised position on Austrian models, smooth horizontal folds are formed. But most often the "Austrians" are left upright. Sometimes, in combination with tulle or curtains, such curtains perform the function of a lambrequin. But since the "Austrians" they themselves are very decorative in the kitchen, they are usually enough alone.

Kitchen interiors of this season gravitate towards naturalness, lightness, airiness and an abundance of light. Therefore, Austrian curtains made of dense fabric are not welcome. For them, fabrics are chosen on which it is easier to form smooth fluffy folds: cotton tulle, taffeta, loose silk, linen.

Austrian models are suitable only for romantic and classic interiors. Such styles, for example, as high-tech, loft or classics of the 60s of the last century, they are "contraindicated".

French curtains

Classic French curtains run from ceiling to floor in numerous scalloped rows. At the same time, they are stationary - they do not move apart and do not rise up.

Naturally, such a model is not acceptable for the kitchen, and in this room today they use modernized, lifting, windowsill-length versions of "Frenchwomen".

French curtains are appropriate in classic romantic styles and, like Austrian models, they cannot stand brutal and laconic style solutions.

Fabrics for them use natural, light, translucent, well draped, mainly white or with a slight touch of any shade of pastel palette.

In a small kitchen, "French women" will look too bulky and "protrude".

This solution is ideal for a spacious kitchen-dining room with large high windows. It should be borne in mind that dust and fumes quickly accumulate in the abundant folds, so a kitchen with such curtains must be equipped with an extractor hood.

Kiseya

The curtains made of threads, cascading from the eaves, seem to be specially created for the kitchen.

They are beautiful, practical (they do not get dirty, do not absorb water and greasy fumes, they are easily washed off), allow you to freely use the balcony door, let air and light through and, despite being ephemeral, effectively protect the interior from prying eyes from the street.

These versatile curtains have another useful property for the kitchen: they can be used to conveniently divide the space into zones.

Depending on the color and material for making the threads, muslin can be fitted into any interior style, from austere to romantic. As a window decoration, it is completely self-sufficient, but if necessary, it is not forbidden to combine it with curtains, tulle or horizontal blinds.

The photo shows a combination of classic curtains with muslin.

Kiseya perfectly perceives any curtain decorations: hairpins, tassels, bows, butterflies, beads, flowers from ribbons and fabrics. But since this season in the kitchen simplicity and conciseness are welcomed, when using muslin, designers advise to limit themselves to experiments with color combinations and textures of threads.

And if you want without special efforts to change the design of the window decor, it is enough to drape such curtains with hooks or cut them off, which is also easy.

Roller blinds

Wound when lifting on a special roller fixed above the window or on the top of the window frame.

They can be made from fabric, bamboo straw, or PVC. In the kitchen, it is better to use the first two options. At the same time, bamboo curtains are best suited for eco- and ethno-styles, and fabric curtains can fit into any interior.

No sooner had the roller blinds appeared on the market than they were immediately considered the privilege of small kitchens, which is quite natural: they are as ergonomic as possible and effectively save square meters, "without eating" a single extra centimeter. But this season, designers confidently declare that this type of window decor looks great even in large spaces.

If you do not like the asceticism of screen paintings, you can combine them with any other curtains.

In the photo in the interior of the kitchen. They are very convenient, as they make it possible to change the degree of illumination of the room.

Roller blinds can play the role of the main color accent of the situation, or be one of its background elements.

In the first case, you need to "make friends" with the interior, for example, lay them on a tablecloth of the same color or choose curtains in the color of the kitchen cabinet doors. But they look especially impressive in the kitchen roller blinds with photo printing - a hit of the current and future seasons.

Japanese panels

Japanese curtains (screen fabric panels) are more like light mobile screens, wardrobe doors or vertical blinds than the curtains. They consist of several elements: screen panels, cornice and control system.

The panels are rectangular fabrics 40-60 cm wide, tightly stretched between two guides or with the help of a weighting strip fixed along their lower edge.

Traditionally, they are sewn from natural fabrics, but in modern interiors it is possible to use synthetic materials. Most often, 2-5 panels are used on one window.

Eaves for Japanese curtains need a multi-profile, wall or ceiling. In order for the panels to be used simultaneously and without restrictions, the number of tracks on the cornice must correspond to their number.

If you move the panels by hand, they will quickly become dirty. To avoid this and optimize the process, use tissue guides or install electronic system control, which allows you to move the panels using the remote control.

There are several main points to look out for when choosing Japanese kitchen curtains:

Textile. It is not necessary to decorate the window with panels of the same material. It is convenient to adjust natural light with curtains of different density. You can combine linen and chiffon, thick silk and organza - there are many options. When choosing a fabric, it is important to consider its practicality. Loose materials quickly absorb greasy fumes, moisture and kitchen odors. For the kitchen, thick blended or synthetic fabrics are preferable.
Color palette. The Japanese style is characterized by calm natural tones, but today any color of modern Japanese curtains is allowed. The main thing is that it resonates with the main colors of the interior.
Drawing. When choosing a print for Japanese kitchen panels, you don't have to limit yourself to sakura twigs and hieroglyphs. For example, small ligature looks good on transparent panels of pastel colors; on dense fabric of saturated colors, a large vertical pattern is more appropriate. The trend of the season is photo printing on curtains. You can choose any image and not necessarily "kitchen".
Decorations. Japanese curtains do not accept excesses, so you should not "spoil" them with accessories. They are self-sufficient and any addition will break their laconic elegance.

Japanese curtains are universal, suitable for many interiors, but still they can not be used in every kitchen.

In luxurious lush interiors with an abundance of decorative details, they are lost and look out of place. In a small kitchen, on the contrary, they can draw all the attention to themselves and visually make the space even smaller. To prevent this from happening, their colors and dimensions will have to be well thought out.

Japanese curtains will make a spacious or combined kitchen with high ceilings and large windows even more voluminous and airy.

For a room in the style of Provence, country, English classics, the design, color and size of the panels will also have to be selected very carefully. Ideal for using Japanese curtains - high-tech kitchens, minimalism, eco, Chinese and Japanese.

Finally, here are some basic tips to help you choose the curtains that work best for your kitchen:

1 The background color of the curtains should match the interior: be either to match the walls, or accent and duplicate the color of some details of the furnishings.
2 Natural colors are considered the most suitable for this season: sand, plum, green, olive, coffee with milk, brown, as well as deep blue and purple. From the pastel palette, milky, beige, pale pink and peach tones have not lost their relevance.
3 The length of the curtains depends on the size of the kitchen. In a small room, short curtains are used to save space. Floor-length curtains are best used in a spacious kitchen combined with a dining room.
4 Layering is encouraged. Sheer fabrics provide light in the kitchen, while thicker fabrics help create accents.
5 If you want to use the window sill as an additional work surface, pay attention to the straight, beveled to one side of the model, "cafe" curtains and all types of lifting curtains.
6 In the kitchen, located on the first floor of a private house, the curtains not only perform a protective function, but also serve as a kind of "frame" for the landscape outside the window. Experts believe that the best in this regard are asymmetric and arched curtains, lambrequin-type curtains and curtains with side hooks.
7 The choice of fashionable curtains this season requires compliance not only with aesthetic features, but also with practicality. Do not get carried away by the abundance of curtain accessories, complex cut and large quantity additional details. The main decorations for curtains this season are textile hooks and simple laconic lambrequins.
8 This season, it is recommended to choose environmentally friendly natural materials: silk, cotton, linen, bamboo straw. In addition, mixed fabrics are allowed, consisting of natural fibers not less than 30%.
9 Regarding the design, complex fanciful patterns are not recommended, but it is very fashionable to use fabrics with prints or photo prints. For the kitchen, images of fruits and vegetables, beautiful dishes, desserts, floral themes, as well as all kinds of city and natural landscapes are recommended.

The main feature of design solutions for curtains in the kitchen of this year is the variety of textures, shapes and sizes. But to create a cozy and harmonious interior, something else is needed - your personal view of how the window decor should be.

It is thanks to him that the living space acquires the charm of a unique individuality. Taking the first as a basis and adding the second to it, you will definitely create a fashionable, practical, and most importantly unique interior in your kitchen, and the curtains will become one of its highlights.

Modern curtains are designed to fulfill both aesthetic and practical functions. For sunny rooms, shading at certain times of the day is very important. If your apartment is located on the lower floors, you need to choose thick curtains that cover the interior from prying eyes.

Light models, we can say that they act only as a window decor. They are made, as a rule, from such translucent materials as tulle, organza, chiffon, veil.

As you might guess, the final design can be completely different. Here you should focus on your own preferences and style of the room.

Today, for example, eyelet curtains are very popular in minimalist interiors. Light folds will give a feeling of home warmth, coziness, add a touch of sophistication and originality to the surrounding space. They are hung on round cornices.

Eyelet size is selected based on the diameter of the pipe on which they will be attached. The main emphasis here is on the beauty of the fabric, which will be further emphasized by the vertical folds.

Classic models, complemented by a lambrequin, can hardly be called a novelty, because they have long taken their rightful place in interiors.

You can combine heavy curtain fabrics and light weightless fabrics. The pelmet is located in the upper part of the window, its height varies in the range of 20-50 cm. Properly selected material will increase the visual size of the window.

Often they only reach the middle of the window, leaving the window sill completely open, that is, you can use it as a work surface to accommodate small household appliances and other accessories.

They will allow you to emphasize the sophistication of the kitchen set, bring comfort and warmth to the room.

Roman

These are some of the most popular window decoration options today. They will perfectly fit into interiors of any style, distinguished by their beauty and ease of use.

If you are looking for an option that fits perfectly into the design, do not pass by Roman blinds.

On their basis, you can create a fairly original modern interior. True connoisseurs of elegance and beauty will surely appreciate them.

Aesthetics is an indisputable fact, but it is far from the only thing that attracts the attention of modern consumers and designers.

The enviable functionality must not be overlooked. By raising or lowering the special mechanism, you can adjust the light level.

They are quite simple to care for. To wash, simply remove them from the eaves, take out the weighting bars, and throw the canvas itself into washing machine by choosing the optimal temperature and speed based on the type of fabric.

To avoid streaks on the canvas, we recommend using liquid powders and additional rinsing. They dry in a straightened state. It is best to iron a slightly damp material. Roman shades go well with classic straight shades. For example, take a look at these photos.

Patterns, abstraction, floral motifs, checks, stripes, stains are acceptable. Models with embroidery look exquisite, perfectly fitting into the elegant classic interiors of kitchens.

The variety of materials is also striking, ranging from light weightless chiffon, tulle, and ending with massive heavy curtains.

Austrian

Austria is the country that has been famous for its "lace" art from time immemorial. If you are looking for modern curtains for the kitchen that amaze with their grace, representativeness, aristocracy, then this option is for you.

Outwardly, they are separate sections, tidied up along the bottom edge in the form of air flounces or lush folds. The contrasting trim with piping, fringe, cords, decorative tassels gives increased decorativeness.

This is also one of the varieties of lifting models, but unlike the Roman ones, there is no crossbar.

To control them, cords are used, threaded into special rings attached to the cornice. Cords play not only a functional, but also a decorative role, forming a lush and beautiful drapery.

The choice of fabrics for Austrian curtains is very diverse. The main thing is that the material should be wrinkle-free.

Such design novelties may well act as an independent element of window decoration, but if necessary, they can be supplemented with classic curtains, contrasting lambrequins.

French

Before you is a recognized classic, the embodiment of luxury, a vivid example of respectability and solidity.

They give the room aristocracy, sophistication, create a warm, cozy atmosphere of comfort and chic.

Pay attention to them if your interior is implemented in any of the classic styles. The vertical folds will be originally illuminated by the sun's rays playing and shimmering in them.

They look no less impressive when artificial lighting... For sewing, both classically heavy portrait fabrics and light tulle curtains can be used.

Already from the description it becomes clear that they are intended exclusively for spacious kitchens with high ceilings. This option is undesirable for those whose stove is located in the immediate vicinity of the window.

Roll

This is one of the latest, one might say, design innovations. Despite their relative "youth", they have become a serious competitor to traditional types of curtains.

If you wish, you can curtain the window with one solid structure, or use narrow canvases covering each section separately.

Lightweight materials will allow you to create a barely noticeable shading, with the main emphasis on decorativeness. Fabrics are impregnated with special compounds, making them immune to high humidity and sunlight.

Moreover, now in the salons you can find samples of Roman curtains with photo printing. Modern technologies allow you to apply drawings, family photos and any images to the fabric.

If you want to make their control more convenient, opt for models with an electric drive. They are easily integrated into the “smart home” system, automatically opening and closing at a specific time specified by you.

Kiseya

If you want to create a relaxed, airy atmosphere, pay attention to muslin curtains. This material allows you to get light and weightless models of any configurations and sizes. They can be easily combined with curtains, threads of other colors. This option is exclusively decorative.

A translucent canvas will not be able to protect the kitchen from the penetration of sunlight and prying eyes. If your apartment is located on the sunny side, on the first floor of a house or next to other high-rises, then in addition, for shading, you will need to use dense options or blinds.

They fit especially harmoniously into small rooms, creating in them the unity of the interior, visually raising the ceilings, filling the room with air and light. Having stopped your choice of them, pay worthy attention to the choice of color scheme, decor, design.

A profitable solution is obtained by combining materials different colors... Kiseya is the canvas that allows you to reveal all your creative and design abilities, resulting in real masterpieces endowed with a bright personality.

Japanese

If you are looking for a truly outlandish option for decorating a window in the kitchen, then you simply cannot pass by Japanese curtains.

They represent the "screen" consisting of several panels, each of which is a rectangular web of fabric. The width and height of one screen depends on the size of the window sash. The canvas is fixed on a special guide using textile Velcro.

Panels can line up one after another in the form of a ladder, completely wind up behind each other, spread symmetrically along the edges, line up in one line.

The main requirement is the maximum tension of the web. For this, weights are used, placed in the lower part, and rigid fiberglass inserts are inserted into the side seams.

The exclusivity of Japanese curtains and their main distinctive feature- this is their striking decorativeness. It will not be difficult for you to find canvases with extraordinary geometric, floral or subject patterns.

Blinds

- this is one of the most popular window decoration options in our apartments. They differ from each other in materials, positioning of lamellas (vertical, horizontal), color and texture solutions.

Be careful when choosing this option for yourself, because, despite special processing lamellas, they still remain susceptible to dirt, moisture, and they also cannot be used near the stove.

The question of choosing curtains for the kitchen worries many housewives in the renovation process. And this is not an idle question, because kitchen curtains, in addition to decoration, also carry a purely unitary load.

For example, with the help of correctly selected curtains, you can highlight accents, create a certain visual picture. When choosing the color and texture of the kitchen curtain, you need to take into account the geometry of the room and the style of decoration.

Tulle or lightweight fabric will look good in a small kitchen. In the big one, you can choose anything suitable in style. The style largely depends on your preference or design idea.

For classic options, beautiful curtains, cotton curtains are suitable. In the Provence style, the option in the "cafe" style will look. Blinds perfectly emphasize functionality.

Washing roller blinds is easier than washing curtains or traditional curtains.

Combined original patterns will look stylish if, with their use, the interior does not receive more than 5 colors in its design.

There can be as many shades of the same color in the interior of one room, but the motley one is unnerving - this has been proven by psychologists. Designers would describe this style with the short word "Kitsch".

Models of roller blinds are different. The simplest ones are simply wound on an aluminum rod. Their bottom edge has a wavy cut, decorated with decorative braid. If the window is not fully opened, such curtains look very original.

The original French curtains will never go out of fashion. They, like rolled ones, are collected upward with the help of cords, creating a kind of roller for a day. The difference is that in the interior with these curtains, a rod is not needed, they should not be wrapped around anything.

French curtains will look great on a thick curtain rod with appropriate fittings. The design of a kitchen of any size will only benefit from such decoration.

For the manufacture of French curtains, 2 lengths of window space are taken, which must be hidden. The longer the curtain, the stronger and more reliable the curtain should be. The cords that tighten when the curtains are opened must be made visible by decorating them with massive brushes.

Combined sets of kitchen curtains, consisting of longitudinal and transverse elements, must be supplemented with tulle or the finest guipure. There is no need for additional elements so that the kitchen, due to the large number of ruffles, folds, strings in the design, does not resemble a Barbie house.

Stylish does not mean with a lot of bells and whistles, it means that the curtains should organically fit into the interior, complement it and facilitate perception.

You need to weigh the pros and cons well, choosing combined options for curtains for the kitchen among ready-made curtain sets for a small window. When choosing a design for kitchen curtains, you must also remember about the material from which they will be sewn. The kitchen is distinguished by an abundance of smells, and the fabric curtains perfectly absorb smell and gas. Combined smells from various dishes that have accumulated in the material for a week can hardly be called a pleasant aroma. Natural fibers absorb odor better, and getting rid of it is very difficult.

Kitchen curtains: decoration or function, how to choose a style?

If it is customary in your family to cook a lot, and not just eat cereals with milk for breakfast and warm up semi-finished products for dinner in the microwave, then the concentration of fat and soot particles invisible to the eye will be much higher in the kitchen than in the rest of the apartment.

This slurry settles on surfaces, eventually turning into sticky mud. And if the dining table, countertops, stove and sink often fall under the cleaning cloth, then wiping hanging cabinets or washing curtains comes to our mind much less often. And in vain, greasy curtains make the whole room look messy.

So, the first tip: avid chefs need to pick up curtains for the kitchen. made of washable material... for example, linen with the addition of synthetics, and a simple fixing system, for example, eyelets, so that the procedure of removing dirty curtains and putting clean ones in place does not turn into a long torture. Some curtains are not designed for regular washing at all, they can only be taken to dry cleaning once every couple of years. And such curtains, of course, are not for the kitchen.

Kitchen curtains should be different from room curtains. brevity... You should also not make a choice in favor of curtains overloaded with all sorts of decorative elements such as ruffle lambrequins and grabs with tassels and pom-poms.

At the same time, we do not urge you to abandon simple pickups. The assembled curtains will not flutter picturesquely in a draft over a burning burner, which is very good from the point of view of fire safety. In addition, shortened curtain models are more appropriate for the kitchen.

For the sake of beauty. If cooking isn't your favorite pastime, the laundry problem can be sidelined and other factors at play.

Dense... curtains that do not let in light and prying eyes will be the right solution in the following situations: you live on the lower floors, your windows face south, or run into the house opposite. In other cases, the choice can be made in favor of lighter materials and even just be limited. tulle .

An unusual solution can be a curtain model called "Cafe", which covers only half of the window. Its convenience lies in the fact that, on the one hand, daylight can freely pass inward, and on the other, there is a feeling of comfort created by the curtain part.

Recently gained immense popularity roman and roller blinds... They, like blinds, are made precisely to the size of a particular window. But their plus is that, when sewn from fabric, they are better able to maintain a home atmosphere. Roller blinds, as you might guess, can be rolled up. And the Roman climb upward according to the principle of a folded accordion. By closing the window only halfway, you can achieve the effect of a curtain-cafe.

White curtains in the interior of the kitchen.

Style should dictate its own rules for any room: in the presence of a pronounced style solution your kitchen will have to sacrifice a practical component. Austrian and French curtains with many folds will complement classics and art deco well, and country music is hard to imagine without a lambrequin and garters.

If it is customary in your home to use tablecloths, think about how they will look curtains and tablecloth... made from the same material. This technique works well in tight spaces that are not cluttered with a lot of detail.

In the kitchen, curtains serve a special purpose. They are not used for sun protection or to hide from prying eyes. The decoration of the windows emphasizes the design style of the room with the hearth. Curtains for the kitchen create coziness and cheer you up with their cheerful look. With their help, lighting and space are adjusted. All family members see them several times during the day.

Therefore, it is necessary to choose the decoration for the windows carefully, taking into account the tastes of family members, the style of the interior and the peculiarities of the kitchen.

Modern design is the art of making a kitchen stylish, cozy and unique.

Designers advise to start decorating any room with buying furniture in the style you like. Then a background is created for it in the form of wall decoration. Curtains and decor take the last, decisive place in creating the image of the kitchen. They equate to the final brushstroke of the artist.

It is impossible to design a kitchen strictly in one style. Most often, the interior combines elements of two or more themes that are close in time to their appearance or territory. Curtains should match the basic style, complementing it.

The color is chosen in accordance with the tone of the walls and the saturation of the interior with paints. In a monochrome kitchen, curtains can turn into decor and become an accent in the interior. They will attract the eye with their bright colors and designs, creating a festive mood.

Decorative cladding under a stone, colored wallpaper and contrasting wall decoration with mosaics, wallpaper and other materials reduces the space and makes it heavier. Light air curtains on the windows will help to correct the situation.

In the kitchen, food is prepared and food is eaten. Steam and odors must be free to escape. The fabric for the curtains in the kitchen should be natural, easy to wash, not fade. Silk can be hung on a north-facing window. After a season on the south side, it will crumble.

Do right choice will help you your own taste and the design of curtains we offer for the kitchen, photos, novelties and features of modern styles.

Classic style is always in trend

Classics are complex drawings with a rich palette of tones, clear drawing and a large number of small elements. Preference is given to natural: brown and red colors with numerous shades. Small elements of green are present. The drawing is decorated with yellow and golden colors.

The classics are based on the sophistication of flowing lines, natural materials and tones, light waves of drapery. The color of the curtains matches the upholstery. Expensive fabrics: satin, velvet, silk. The ideal material created for the classic style is Damascus.

If there are tables and other equipment under the window, then choose short curtains for the kitchen. It is enough to make lambrequins at the top or drape a strip of fabric in the form of a shuttlecock. If the space of the window opening is free, use a canvas to the floor of guipure, chiffon, gauze with a floral pattern and wave drapery. Grip the sides nicely with a cord or tape.

Tales and luxury of the East in a modern kitchen

The luxury of the East is striking. It is created by ornaments with intricate interweaving of threads.

The selection of paints plays an important role:

turquoise;
blue;
Violet;
burgundy;
emerald;
golden.

The fabrics are densely draped, at the top they are gathered in the form of a tent. The lower ones, white, look out at the sides, in the form of edging, emphasizing the luxury of the upper curtains. The edges are decorated with fringes and beads. Twisted cords with tassels on the sides. Suitable for kitchens over 10 square meters.

Provence - the whisper of the waves, the caresses of the sun and the rows of grapes running along the slopes

The Provence style combines French grace, the romance of the sea, the warmth of the south and rustic simplicity. The fabric for the curtains should be natural and lightweight. The main color is white. It symbolizes the sail, the foam of the waves, the clouds. Other tones are possible, but they must be taken from the surrounding nature. Yellow sun, blue sky, cream sand, green slopes. Finishes can include bright colors and variegated colors.

Provence is a rural area in the south of France. The style is ethnic, with their rustic simplicity. The curtains are short, single and double-row, trimmed with bright ruffles with floral patterns, checkered and striped frills. The hostesses sewed them themselves, using old sails and scraps of chintz and staples left after making clothes.

Numerous guests from the opposite bank made their own adjustments to the local style. The curtains, long to the windowsill, began to be intercepted by wooden and metal rings, cut out with arches, like a tent. Straight panels were pulled together with flirty bows.

Ethno style is unique and diverse

The direction in ethnic style is the same as there are peoples. Common features for him are rustic simplicity, DIY home decoration. Housewives try to emphasize individuality with an original tablecloth, napkin and handmade picture.

Curtain fabrics are simple, inexpensive: chintz, linen, poplin, gauze. The background is light, milky, cream, beige, blue. Drawing in a cage, a flower, a strip. There may be images of animals and plants, mainly fruits and flowers. Usually the length of the curtain is slightly below the windowsill. Trim with frills, ruffles, ribbons.

The laconic austerity of minimalism needs a bright decor

Minimalism is ideal for a small kitchen and studio with a combination of living, dining and cooking areas in a large space. There is nothing superfluous from the furniture, everything is compact and multifunctional. The dining table is combined with a bar counter and, at the same time, it is an island with a sink and a stove. At the bottom there are many drawers in which dishes and food are placed.

The main color of walls and furniture is white and its shades. An additional contrasting tone, black, brown, dark gray is present in small fragments as decoration. The curtains are plain, practically without folds and waves. The decor is bright plafonds of lamps or curtains.

The design of curtains for the kitchen is selected according to the principle of minimum fabric and maximum practicality. If there are no prominent spots in the interior, then curtains of saturated colors should become the accent:

green;
Red;
blue;
yellow.

Long panels without draperies fit on large windows. In the working area of the kitchen in a minimalist style, Roman blinds, Japanese blinds and roller blinds are appropriate.

The rainbow envies the palette of kitchen curtains

Any palette of tones and colors is possible on the kitchen window. Only black fabric of any density will be inappropriate. Modern curtains the kitchen can be of any color, pattern and brightness. The main thing is that they complement the design of the kitchen and make it happier and brighter.

Pastel colors are versatile and suitable for any interior color scheme. They are used in most styles. Sandy, gray shades of light tones, milky. White fabric on the window is always appropriate. Beige refers to a palette of warm browns and is light enough to create coziness and enlarge the space.

Turquoise is popular in hot countries. It consists of the coolness of blue and the freshness of green. In ethnic and eco styles, preference is given to natural tones:

yellow;
blue;
green.

Fiery red warms and energizes. In a bright kitchen, scarlet curtains will help you wake up in the morning, and in the evening they will create a romantic atmosphere of sunset and scarlet sails.

Lambrequins are appropriate for large windows with high ceilings

Lambrequins add elegance to the kitchen. At the same time, the window space looks more aesthetically pleasing, the cornice and fastening are closed. Lack of beautiful drapery in dust and soot constantly settling in the folds. With a small window size, lambrequins visually make the ceiling lower. They should be used sparingly in the kitchen, only with classic styles.

The advantages of short curtains in their compactness and openness of space

Short curtains reveal the window sill and flowers and other decorative items that stand on it. The useful area of the countertop located under the window is freed and increased. The equipment is placed around the perimeter, freeing up the center of the kitchen.

Many designers prefer short curtains for the kitchen. Photos with samples are convincing enough. Light pours freely through the window. The space visually increases. Short curtains can be chosen to decorate the kitchen in any style.

Fantasies with rings on the cornice

Rings and your imagination will help make the kitchen festive and cheerful. A clear line of the cornice opens and the curtain separates from it, lives on its own. Massive rings look spicy and mysterious. Drapery options get new possibilities.

You can secure a strip of light, gaudy fabric by making it hang down in waves. Pareos and shawls not used on the beach are suitable, large flounces, ordinary fabric that drapes well. The practicality of the rings is in their free movement along the eaves bar.

Bay window in the kitchen - an opportunity for a unique design

From a practical point of view, a bay window is a useful additional area. It allows you to create a corner in the kitchen with dining table, create a miniature winter garden, arrange sofas along the wall for relaxation. In general, a bay window can be viewed as a gift from architects to make your dream come true, which lacks space within the standard kitchen and dining room.

Decide when choosing curtains. If you are using a bay window just to increase the area of the kitchen, then the design of the entire space and style should be the same. When the additional area is an independent area, decorate it harmoniously with the kitchen, but in a different style. The light, furniture and curtains should have the same colors with the interior of the kitchen, but be different. Long curtains will do the trick here, as work zone aside.

Compact and practical Roman shades blend harmoniously with many styles

It is convenient to hang Roman blinds in the kitchen. They slide along the window and do not take up space. It is convenient to raise and lower the blade by adjusting the position with a cord. Wet hands will not stain the canvas. Curtains do not interfere indoor plants on the windowsill, which is important for the kitchen.

The uniqueness of Roman blinds in a harmonious combination with most modern styles. The fabric can be anything from sailcloth in a nautical theme to damask in a classic kitchen. Laconicism and minimalism of monochrome fabrics for techno and hi-tech, efficiency and brutality in loft and black house, variegation and brightness in ethnic and dacha. Bright roman shades falling down add color. Monochrome balances the oversaturation of the kitchen with colors.

Curtains for a small kitchen should increase the space

In a small kitchen, curtains are not just a decoration, they help to increase the space. For this, light, lightweight fabrics, monochromatic and with a dull small pattern are better suited. Longitudinal stripes will visually raise the ceiling. The transverse inserts expand the narrow kitchen.

Light translucent fabrics to the middle of the window and light-colored roman blinds, roller shutters and Japanese-style window designs. Cover large and tall French windows with a white tulle curtain hanging loosely to the floor.

The combination of practicality and imagination when decorating a balcony door

The balcony door in the kitchen takes up some of the space, especially if it opens inside the room. If it is not possible to replace it with a sliding one, then hang long curtains on the rings and fasten the tacks on the sides on the sides. When you need to go to the balcony or set up a table there, the curtain can be easily removed. But you have access from the kitchen to a great place where you can have a romantic dinner.

It is important not only to choose the right furniture, wallpaper, but also to decorate the window with curtains.

Long or short

When choosing curtains for the kitchen, each housewife first of all thinks about how long they will be.

In our opinion, it is better to opt for short curtains. This length has several advantages:

The curtains do not clutter the kitchen, and in many houses this room does not have a large area;
They are lightweight;
Do not interfere with cleaning;
Practical and easy to clean;
Create a comfortable environment;
Leave a free passage to the window;
Short curtains will exclude the possibility of fabric getting into the stove fire.

Long curtains, in turn, are difficult to wash and iron, they can lie on the floor, making it difficult to daily cleaning.

What do short curtains mean?

The length, of course, can be different, but all curtains that do not reach the floor about 30 cm are considered a shortened version. These are curtains to the window sill, half of the window, only a lambrequin strip, there are a lot of options.

There are many models of such curtains, we will consider some of them.

Types of short curtains

Roman
