It is not surprising that modern housewives think over the design of the kitchen interior to the smallest detail, carefully select finishing materials and accessories. Window curtains do not go unnoticed. Most often, at the same time, housewives opt for shortened models. How not to get lost in the variety of types and choose curtains for the kitchen (short or long) that can decorate and emphasize the chosen interior style?

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 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.

Decoration in green colors

Natural fabrics (linen, cotton, silk, satin)

The classic version of the beautiful and elegant decoration of the window opening. Perfect for Provencal and country style solutions, as well as appropriate in a classic kitchen design. 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.

Cheerful color scheme

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

Despite their affinity with chemistry, short modern curtains of such materials are widely used for window framing. 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.

Simplicity and convenience of such execution

Non-standard materials (bamboo, plastic)

Curtains made of atypical materials look fresh and interesting, attracting increased attention. Made of bamboo, they will successfully complement shabby chic, country and Provencal interiors, while plastic ones will help create an integral atmosphere of modern kitchens. They are strong and durable, but in rare cases they may not be practical enough due to the difficulties in caring for them.

Bamboo

Colour

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:

1. Consonant combination. Design in a single color key: in this case, the color finishing materials, furniture, textiles and decor should correspond to it. For example, beige tones golden, yellowish, pale orange and various shades of brown are perfect;

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. One-Stop Solution color combinations, sand, milky, beige colors are considered equally suitable in any style;
5. 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;
6. 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.
