Thanks to modern textiles, any room can be very well transformed. At the same time, visually small rooms can be made more spacious, and vice versa.
How to choose the fabric and model of curtains?
In order for the selected option to look harmoniously in the kitchen space, we recommend that you follow some rules:
It is important to consider the volume and area of \u200b\u200bthe room. In a miniature room, the most optimal solution for curtains, the design of which is quite simple, is completely unpretentious. There is no need for long options made of thick fabrics. Especially if the area is forced with household appliances, furniture.
Mandatory harmony of colors with the primary colors used here. It is rare when curtains can be used as an accent and will be decorated with catchy tones. In this case, it is necessary to use repeated bright details in the interior.
The material should be pleasant to the touch. After all, curtains are designed to create a cozy, comfortable environment.
Do not use too much on curtains, curtains, decorations like ruffles, bows, beads.
If you need to bring cheerful notes to the interior, choose patterned fabrics. Do not forget that in a large number of contrasts, fatigue is visually caused, from which no comfort is obtained. A great alternative to use spring delicate patterns.
To use the window sill, get an approach to it, decorating the balcony space, it is recommended to use short curtains, no longer than the window sill. These days they are also very popular.
The fabrics that are used to sew fashionable curtains can be combined with each other. We recommend making original inserts to add modernity to the interior. Another interesting option for the kitchen is to combine different curtains on the same window.
In fact, the combination in the kitchen can be in a variety of ways. In addition, many styles are now very popular, first of all they include: classic laconic versions of curtains with a direct configuration, which only touch the floor a little.
Such options are not suitable for every room. It is appropriate to use them only in spacious kitchens. Materials should be chosen light, pastel colors, with a gradient. Only in this case the room will look light and airy.
Make your kitchen cozier with homemade curtains.
Elegance will help to give the kitchen space French curtains. As a rule, they make a large number of folds, due to which they will be catchy in the window area.
But, not everyone will like this option. In addition, this option is able to additionally load the dimensions of the space.
To decorate window openings at the same time ergonomically and universally, we recommend using a roll-up type of curtains. Also suitable are Roman, or Japanese-style.
The canvas should be selected based on the dimensions of the window.
Choosing a color with a pattern correctly, you can give the kitchen space not only comfort, but also solemnity, resulting in a harmonious interior.

Gone are the days when tulle was the ultimate dream. Beautiful curtains today can be made from various types of fabrics (natural and artificial), bamboo and even plastic.
Material selection
When choosing material for kitchen curtains, it is better to give preference to practical materials that do not require scrupulous care. Splashes and stains of grease, soot, specific food odors - they become the main problem for curtains, forcing them to be washed frequently. The right fabric in this case will be easy to wash without losing shape and color, have dirt and dust repellent properties, and not absorb food flavors. For the same purpose, heavy, dense materials should be abandoned.

The naturalness of materials and environmental friendliness are the main advantages of curtains made from natural fabrics, which are pleasant to look at. They are pleasant to the touch, hypoallergenic, well transmit light and air. But you have to pay a rather high price for beauty and naturalness - they are not cheap. Cons of natural materials and their impracticality - high sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, detergents and machine wash. Made of thin cotton or linen, natural models wear out rather quickly and lose their attractive appearance.

Synthetic curtains (nylon, viscose, acetate, polyester, synthetic organza)

First of all, the attractiveness of synthetic curtains is due to their low price and wide availability. They are also endowed with a number of advantages: durable, wear-resistant, do not wrinkle and do not shrink when washed, resistant to fire and fading in the sun. However, due to the characteristics of the material, synthetic models are more electrified and attract dust particles to themselves faster - they have to be washed several times more often.

Color
The color scheme of kitchen curtains as a whole is limited only by the taste and preferences of a particular person. But in order to avoid mistakes and choose the curtains that are suitable for the color scheme, you should get acquainted with the selection options:
- Consonant combination. Design in a single color key: in this case, the color of finishing materials, furniture, textiles and decor should match it. For example, beige tones are perfect for golden, yellowish, pale orange and various shades of brown;
- A game of contrast. Curtains are selected in a color that is different from the tone of the walls (in we choose their design, but - color) or furniture, but at the same time in harmony with the main color scheme. Attractive combinations - classic, green / yellow and their shades, blue / red, milky / brown;
- Independent interior unit. In this case, the curtains act as a color accent of the space, the most striking design element. So, orange or green will successfully fit into;
- Room style. Each of them is characterized by a special color palette that is different from the others. So, country is unthinkable without light textiles in pastel shades, with floral patterns or stripes. High-tech allows the use of only a cold range of shades, and the classics are supportive of plain materials or combinations of 2-3 colors in one textile ensemble. Combinations of sand, milky, beige colors are considered a universal color solution, equally suitable in any style;
- Area and layout. Happy owners of large premises can afford absolutely any tone in decoration and decor. At the same time, owners of more modest areas have to go for tricks, visually increasing the space with the help of color. Materials of muted lavender, pearl, blue, light green and, of course, white colors can help with this;
- illumination. If the windows face the sunny side and during the day there is sufficient natural light, you can select models of dark shades. Otherwise, it is desirable to stop at translucent, transmitting as much light as possible.
When deciding on the choice of shades, you need to remember that warm natural colors, natural colors will fill the kitchen space with family warmth and give comfort, cold ones will add rigor and formality to the room.
Style
All the variety of species can be combined into two groups in style - traditional and modern design:
- Traditional. Familiar swing curtains, often combined with tulle. They have two varieties - curtain fabrics of urban and rural styles;
Urban. A shortened version of simple long curtains on the eaves, light and quite elegant. They are usually made from natural materials and can be either plain or printed;
rustic. They evoke memories of cute rural houses, therefore they are widely used in Provence, country and shabby chic interiors. Their simple design includes a frill at the top of the window and two short curtains attached directly to the sashes. Such curtains are convenient, practical and unpretentious in care. So, window curtains can not be opened during the day, the light from the remaining opening will be quite enough. They do not close the window sill, freeing up another possible work area, which owners of modest kitchens will appreciate..

Practicality is an important characteristic of kitchen textiles
When choosing textile solutions for the kitchen, it is necessary to take into account the specific microclimate in this room. Materials for manufacturing must meet the following requirements:
resistant to high room temperatures and high humidity levels,
practically do not fade in the sun, retaining the original appearance,
do not absorb kitchen odors,
do not collect dirt and grease,
easy to wash and do not fade with frequent washing.
In some cases, it is advisable to use products made of fire-resistant materials, for example, in small rooms where the stove is located next to the window. You can also reduce the risk of fire with the help of loops, laces and ties that fix the curtain to the wall. The most optimal and practical option for kitchen models is linen with the addition of synthetic fibers, as well as polyester and viscose.
Classic drapes and curtains
Classic-style curtains are suitable for spacious dining rooms and kitchen-living rooms, where a dense canvas can be effectively complemented with airy tulle, organza or muslin. Also, as an additional decoration, you can use lambrequins, original tiebacks, brushes and other accessories.
An interesting solution would be a combination of light plain curtains and colored rolled or Roman curtains. Interiors in the Mediterranean style, Provence or Art Nouveau will look more advantageous if curtains, tablecloths and napkins are made of the same material or contain the same elements that form a common style.

Curtains for the kitchen of different sizes
Curtains are not only protection of personal space from the prying eyes of passers-by and residents of a neighboring house, but also comfort inside the room. The kitchen, like the rest of the rooms, needs a beautiful design, because women spend most of their time in this room.
Curtains for the kitchen, as well as possible, can tell about the hostess of the house, give out her character traits and preferences in colors, a romantic or pragmatic approach to housekeeping.
Curtains for a small kitchen
It is not always possible for housewives to express their design talent by decorating the kitchen. Here, the footage of the room is of great importance, which limits the flight of fancy. The most important thing in the kitchen is not beauty, but safety. Taking into account the location of the stove (if it is located next to the window), then long pleated curtains in the kitchen will not have to be hung. In this case, blinds or roller blinds are more suitable. In both cases, you will have to abandon the tulle that has become familiar. It is he who most often suffers from the proximity to the stove.

Roller blinds for a small kitchen are a very profitable option for many reasons:
- Dense material in bright light does not allow you to see from the outside what is happening inside.
- Large range of fabric colors.
- The ability to vary the length of the canvas in the daytime so that there is enough light in the room and the window does not seem empty.
- Roller blinds are removed and inserted back into the mounts remarkably, despite the fact that for the first time you will have to work hard with a puncher in your hands to mount the rod to a concrete beam. However, as when placing a wall or ceiling cornice.
- Washing roller blinds is easier than washing curtains or traditional curtain panels. It is enough to lather the canvas with laundry soap and brush over the places where fat has got or unburned gas has settled. No need to look for a place to dry them. Water flows off the canvas instantly, no need to wring out. After washing, they can be immediately hung back, so that the window will be without curtains for no more than 15 minutes. This time is enough to evaluate the design of the kitchen with and without roller blinds.
Self-decoration of roller blinds
In Khrushchev, roller blinds for the kitchen are the sweetest thing. Even if the working or dining table is located by the window, it is precisely such a curtain that will not interfere even with the window open. Thanks to a special plastic insert in the lower edge of the curtain, even the strongest wind will not make the heavy curtain sway.

With a little refinement, this type of curtain will decorate any interior.
A monochromatic canvas is more like a screen for filmstrips, so that the curtain becomes a decoration of the kitchen, you need to slightly change its design by adding one large thermal sticker with embroidery on silk, or by composing a pattern from the same decorative elements.
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 as you want, but the mixed moth is unnerving - this has been proven by psychologists. Designers would describe such a style with the short word "Kich".

Roller blinds are different. The simplest of them are simply wound on an aluminum rod. Their lower edge has a wavy cut, decorated with decorative braid. With an incomplete opening of the window, such curtains look very original.
Using floral motifs for decoration, it is enough to decorate only the lower inner part, because the length of the roller blind is no more than the height of the window.
There are also models that, when opened, are assembled according to the type of French draperies. This curtain does not have any decorations. Although among them you can find a multi-colored curtain with a printed pattern.

The most fashionable curtains for the kitchen are those that add light, airiness to the room and visually increase the space. The design of linen curtains on the cornices can be very diverse. It all depends on the taste and imagination of the hostess.

Artificial silk, taffeta, brocade are wonderful materials, they keep their shape perfectly on their own, but eyelets, braid and cords allow you to create completely original curtain models.

In the interior of the kitchen 10-12 meters long curtains will look great. If the approach to the window is not forced by anything, the most amazing solution for window decoration will be 2 side curtains.
The window design will be complete if you use white organza without embroidery and printed designs or tulle with a lace pattern. The cornice, almost reaching the ends to the walls, allows the curtains to reach the corners of the room, expanding the space.
During the day, when the curtain fabric becomes the main fabric that hides the window, the curtains should not hang in a shapeless mass, they can create a beautiful window frame. Decorative clips on magnets or heavy silk tassels on twisted thick cords fixed on the wall will help with this.

A similar design in the interior of the kitchen will add solemnity, which is not bad for a room where family dinners are held, it encourages heart-to-heart conversation.
Always original French curtains will never go out of fashion. They, like rolled ones, are going up with the help of cords, creating a kind of roller for the day. The difference is that in the interior with these curtains a rod is not needed, they should not be wound on anything.
French curtains will look great on a thick cornice with appropriate fasteners. The design of a kitchen of any footage will only benefit from such decoration.
For the manufacture of French curtains, 2 lengths of the window space to be hidden are taken. The longer the curtain, the stronger and more reliable the cornice should be. The cords that tighten when the curtain is opened must be made visible by decorating them with massive tassels.

Combined sets of kitchen curtains, consisting of longitudinal and transverse elements, must be supplemented with tulle or the thinnest guipure. No additional elements are needed so that the kitchen, due to the large number of ruffles, folds, ties in the design, does not look like 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 make it easier to perceive.
You need to weigh the pros and cons well, choosing the combined curtain options for the kitchen among ready-made curtain sets for a small window. When choosing the design of kitchen curtains, it is necessary to remember the material from which they will be sewn. The kitchen is characterized by an abundance of smells, and fabric curtains perfectly absorb smell and gas. Combined smells from various dishes, accumulated in the material for a week, can hardly be called a pleasant aroma. Natural fibers absorb odor better, and it is very difficult to get rid of it.

Curtains for the kitchen: decoration or function, how to choose a style?
If it is customary in your family to cook a lot, and not just eat cereal with milk for breakfast and microwave ready-to-cook food for dinner, 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 suspension settles on surfaces, eventually turning into sticky mud. And if the dining table, countertops, stove and sink often fall under a cleaning cloth, then wiping hanging cabinets or washing curtains comes to our mind much less often. But in vain, greasy curtains give sloppiness to the entire room.

So, the first tip: avid cooks need to pick up curtains in the kitchen from washable material. for example, linen with the addition of synthetics, and a simple fixation system, such as eyelets, so that the procedure for removing dirty curtains and putting clean curtains in place does not turn into lengthy torture. Some curtains are not designed for regular washing at all, they can only be dry-cleaned once every couple of years. And such curtains, of course, are not for the kitchen.
Kitchen curtains should be different from room curtains conciseness. You should also not make a choice in favor of curtains overloaded with all sorts of decorative elements such as ruffled lambrequins and tiebacks with tassels and pompoms.
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 in terms of fire safety. In addition, shortened models of curtains are more appropriate for the kitchen.
For the sake of beauty. If cooking isn't your favorite pastime, you can put the laundry issue on the back burner and think about other factors that come into 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 rest against the house opposite. In other cases, the choice can be made in favor of lighter materials and even simply limited tulle .
An unusual solution could 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 inside, and on the other hand, there is a feeling of comfort created by the curtained part.
have gained immense popularity in recent years Roman and roller blinds. They, like blinds, are made exactly to the size of a particular window. But their advantage is that, being made of fabric, they are better able to maintain a homely atmosphere. Roller blinds, as you might guess, can be rolled up. And the Roman ones rise up according to the principle of a folded accordion. By closing the window only halfway, you can achieve the effect of a cafe-curtain.
White curtains in the interior of the kitchen.
Style should dictate its own rules for any room: in the presence of a pronounced style decision your kitchen's practical component will have to be sacrificed.

If it is customary to use tablecloths in your home, think about how they will look curtains and tablecloth. made from the same material. This technique works well in strict spaces that are not overloaded with a lot of details.
It would seem that curtains do not play such an important role in the design of the kitchen as they do in the living room or bedroom. But often it is textiles that help to make the interior truly cozy! You can choose beautiful curtains for the kitchen in a specialized store or even sew them yourself, and to make it easier to decide on their design, see the selection of photos on this page.
Types of curtains
When it comes to curtains, many people think of the classic combination of translucent tulle and two sliding curtains on the sides. In general, this format is quite convenient, but it is not quite suitable for the kitchen due to the specifics of the room itself.
Of course, if this is a spacious room with a dining table near a large window, then lush curtains with ties, lace veils and lambrequins will be more than appropriate, but they are useless in compact kitchens. In the cooking area, it is better to use practical blinds, roller shutters, neat short curtains.
They are a simple mechanism in which the fabric is wound on a roller attached from above or below. In the classic and mini versions, the roll remains visible, while in the cassette version it is hidden inside the window frame. Cassette roller shutters are usually plastic and close each window sash individually.
When folded, they resemble an accordion. Strict horizontal folds are formed by stretched ropes sewn into the fabric at the same distance. This is a good alternative to blinds and will allow you to avoid the "office" style in the kitchen.
These are a kind of "coupe doors" for windows. Huge panels of fabric attached to a rigid frame look very modern and stylish.
Guides for these structures are usually placed at the level of the ceiling and floor, so they are ideal for balcony and panoramic windows, and in studio apartments they can also serve as an internal partition, separating, for example, a dining or living area.
They are distinguished by soft semicircular scallops that gather at the bottom when the curtain rises. Ribbons or ropes sewn from the inside contribute to this effect, on which wavy folds subsequently hold. This type of curtain looks very romantic and festive, giving the kitchen an exquisite charm.
An eco-friendly addition to an oriental or rustic interior. It can be both vertically attached stems of bamboo, and all kinds of weaving with patterns formed by different shades of this exotic plant.
There are a lot of options for attaching such curtains for the kitchen - from classic wooden rings on the eaves to rolled and Roman designs.
They are one of the simplest and at the same time unusual ways to design window openings in the kitchen. They are easy to make with your own hands by stringing beads on a transparent fishing line, threads or thin ribbons.
Artificial flowers made of tulle or paper, small shells, foam balls, beads will help to diversify the design of such a curtain.
fabric requirements
When arranging a kitchen, it is always necessary to take into account the microclimate in this room. Increased humidity and temperature, periodic exposure to water vapor, odors that occur during cooking - have a great impact on all materials and especially on textiles. Based on this, it is advisable to choose durable fabrics for curtains in the kitchen so that they do not lose their aesthetics with repeated washing and difficult operating conditions.
If the kitchen is large, and the cooking area is located far enough from the window, you can afford curtains made of thick, expensive fabrics - silk, satin, jacquard, taffeta. It is worth refusing, perhaps, from velvet, velor and other fleecy materials.
Translucent tulle fabrics - organza, guipure, gas, muslin help to slightly muffle the daytime brightness of the sun. They must be used very carefully, located at a distance of at least 2-3 meters from the stove, oven and other heating appliances.
Any curtains should be removed as far as possible from sources of fire. If it is difficult to do this due to the small area, then it is better to choose refractory and tight-fitting roller shutters.
For a medium-sized kitchen, simple materials that do not require special care are suitable: linen, chintz, bamboo curtains will look stylish and organic, especially if you match them with a tablecloth for a dining table or put sofa cushions of similar colors.
The most inexpensive and practical option for the kitchen are polyester curtains. This synthetic material does not wrinkle, almost does not absorb odors and dries very quickly. It is good if the fabric is coated with fire-resistant, water-repellent (Teflon or acrylic) impregnation - this way it will be less polluted.
If you need completely opaque curtains for the dark time of the day, pay attention to the blackout. Dark threads are woven into the composition of this fabric in a special way, which provide the curtains with maximum opacity.
Curtains and interior style
The choice of curtains for the kitchen largely depends on the style in which it is framed. The absence of textiles is assumed only in the loft and Scandinavian design, in all other cases, fabrics are a significant element of the interior, and sometimes the most striking accent.
The conciseness of modern design is ideally complemented by strict plain curtains with pronounced graphic folds, without unnecessary decor and pretentiousness.
The classics are characterized by luxurious elegance, which is expressed in expensive fabrics, lush frills and eye-catching accessories. Sliding curtains with tulle and lambrequin, as well as Austrian, French and English festoons, will become a real decoration of a spacious kitchen with a cozy dining area near a bay window, balcony or panoramic window.
The charm of the French province in the kitchen will help to create short chintz curtains with a delicate floral or themed print. They can be decorated with granny lace, embroidery, plain ribbons to match the patterns, keep their shape thanks to the tiebacks and fold with soft draperies.
Traditional tulle in Provence is rarely used, and the curtains cover the windows only partially, allowing as much sun as possible into the room.
Rustic curtains are, again, cotton fabrics with a floral pattern (it can be brighter and larger than in Provence), checks, polka dots, images of fruits, vegetables, berries, poultry and animals. Short sliding curtains are collected in beautiful frills, often there are lambrequins from the same material.
In order for the design of a small kitchen to look thoughtful and harmonious, the curtains must be chosen in compliance with the proportions and artistic rules for constructing a composition.
The size of the window matters a lot. If this is panoramic glazing or access to a balcony, then it is better to fix the cornice to the ceiling, and make the curtains floor-length so as not to “cut” the height of the room. Vertical folds or contrasting stripes will visually raise the ceiling, and a translucent texture, letting in light, will slightly expand the space.
A large window opening can be closed with a photo curtain with a realistic play of light and shade, a floral pattern or a beautiful landscape. Since such a curtain is likely to cover the entire wall near the window, it is advisable to arrange a dining area nearby with white or transparent (glass, plastic) furniture.
If the window in the kitchen is medium in size or small, then you should stop at short curtains with a lambrequin as decoration, and at night close the windows with roller blinds, Roman blinds or blinds.
