Curtains with patterns and spectacular prints.

Today, professional interior designers around the world are happy to use curtains with various patterns and spectacular patterns. But the strip, floral print and geometric pattern have always been and will remain favorites. The overall mood of the interior depends on the colors of the curtains, because curtains are clothes at home.

No matter how changeable the fashion is, it has always been supportive of the strip. It is a classic, elegance and versatility. But the choice of striped curtains is a delicate matter. Although the strip can be attributed to the type of fabric with a geometric pattern, it should still be isolated separately.

Drawing curtains with a horizontal strip is ideal for high ceilings. It will visually expand the space, significantly increase the size of the room. But the vertical strip, on the contrary, will create the effect of a narrow room with a high ceiling. The width of the bands is also of great importance, especially for the visual perception of the interior as a whole. Broad bands, of course, are suitable for spacious rooms, they will emphasize and make the right emphasis on windows, such curtains are ideal for salons, living rooms and dining rooms.

Curtains and curtains with narrow stripes are just a versatile option for small rooms and rooms, they will not only highlight windows and give chic to the interior, but will even help to hide minor repair errors.

Choosing striped curtains, of course, an important criterion will be the choice of color. The main thing is that everything should be in moderation, first of all, of strips, or rather, a combination of stripes of color.Among designers there is an unspoken rule of "three colors", and it doesn’t matter what exactly this rule concerns - clothing or collections of textiles for the interior. This rule sounds like this: when dressing yourself or your living room, you should not mix more than three colors. This concerns the main color directions, nobody forbade playing with shades, the main thing is not to flirt.

Striped print blends perfectly with styles such as:

• classical;
• modern;
• pop Art;
• Art Deco;
• retro;
• Provence;
• vintage

Continuing the theme of choosing curtains with patterns and bright prints, it is worth considering geometric patterns, which are considered to be the most ancient. After all, the exact geometric lines were the first decorations and images on stones, they were applied by ancient people, but this is not about now.

Geometric prints are a style, a trend that became popular in the 60s of the XX century. It should be noted that when the print becomes popular, it is used everywhere - in the interior, and in clothes.Now graphics and geometry are back in fashion.

Clear lines, grafizm, contrasting colors - all these elements are inherent in geometric prints.

And they are all associated with modern or even futuristic styles, such as:

• high tech;
• expressionism;
• avant-garde

Nevertheless, geometric patterns are suitable for the classics, in addition, they are often used in the design of retrointeriors.

Geometric prints can be completely different types - these are images of various shapes and forms that are combined with each other, as well as sharp or, on the contrary, smooth lines. There are bright, contrasting combinations of colors and delicate, watercolor shades. The geometry on the curtains can bring the dynamics into the room, and maybe, on the contrary, arrange the interior. The general style of the room depends on the correct choice of the geometric pattern.

Choosing such curtains, you must adhere to certain rules, proven by time and professionals.

• It is necessary to consider the size of the room. Geometrical ornament can both visually enlarge and reduce the room. Large, contrasting design is still better to use in spacious rooms.
• It is important to consider the overall style.as the geometrical ornament is combined not with all directions.

• Combination with walls. Of course, if the curtains are with an active pattern, then it will be better to look on plain walls that will favorably emphasize a spectacular print. The walls can be in the same color scheme, and they can also contrast with curtains, emphasizing the chosen style of window canvases.
• Measure in everything. Choosing a bright and contrasting geometry, one should not forget about the effect of such prints on a person, on his perception. It is necessary to avoid overloading, chaotic combinations, abundance of flowers, which sooner or later will create a sense of disharmony and inconvenience.

Bright drawings and ornaments on the curtains are not only regular and broken geometric shapes, invented by man, but also natural, floral, which entered human life for a very long time.After all, even in ancient times, people tried to decorate their dwellings with natural paints and flowers. But despite everything, the floral patterns on the curtains evoke very conflicting feelings. Many have persistent associations with the grandmother's bedroom, from childhood, and therefore from the past. Do not assume that the floral print is a relic.

Flowers are back in fashion - both in clothes and in interiors. The creators of famous collections and brands are happy to use prints with flowers and floral motifs. Flowers are dazzled in the collections of Gucci, Valentino, D & G, Fendi, Christian Dior and many other famous brands. And the flowers are used everywhere: from the production of the finest lace for exquisite underwear, to the magnificent embroidery on leather shoes and bags. Jewelry craftsmen also do not leave without attention floristics, not to mention the perfume houses. The developers of home textiles have been using flower motifs and paintings for more than one century, decorating with them curtain fabrics, curtains, and air tulle.
