 Window decoration with roller blinds and tulle

Modern window design is an art based not only on fashion or according to the chosen interior style, but mainly on functionality, comfort and individuality of space. In order to understand whether the option of window decoration by rolshtor and tulle is suitable for you, let us examine in more detail its features.

Features rolshtor

Roller blinds are a rectangular canvas fabric that twists and unfolds around a shaft located in the upper or middle part of the window. The simplest have an open shaft design, in modern the shaft is hidden in a cassette unit. Cassette curtains often have automatic controls and are considered more reliable.

The main advantage is considered compactness. This quality is valuable in small spaces, especially in the kitchen. The laconic design of the rollt fits perfectly into the modern minimalist styles: Scandinavian, hi-tech, loft.

In size rolshtora are subdivided:

  • mini - cover one casement window;
  • in the opening - mounted inside the window opening close to the frame;
  • on the opening - mounted above the opening and close the entire window niche with a window sill.

Since the roller shutter has a fixed structure, the fabric is treated with special compositions that prevent contamination and fading to take care of it.

Roller blinds do not need to be washed and ironed; just wipe them with a damp sponge.

There are several types of modern roll-curtains that have a special design or materials for performing specialized functions or design tasks:

  • Cassette blinds - more compact than the classic due to a snug fit to the glass, embedded in the frame. Like ordinary blinds allow you to adjust the luminous flux, depending on the lighting outside.
  • Mirage - a type of fabric blinds of two layers of the veil with fabric slats, the functionality of the blinds and the elegance of textiles.
  • Zebra or Day-Night - two-layer curtains, the canvas consists of transparent and dark bands.The offset layers of the canvas relative to each other allows you to adjust the flow of external lighting. Sometimes they are called double.
  • Blackout - curtains of material providing maximum opacity. Most often used for a more comfortable sleep.
  • Bamboo curtains - due to the wicker structure, they do not completely overlap, but disperse bright midday light. Can be an emphasis in the Mediterranean and eco-style.

So, having imagined the possible choices for Rolshtor, let's deal with the second component: tulle.

Types of tulle curtains

By tulle we mean transparent or translucent curtains. Most often they carry the design challenge: smoothing the corners, color accents.

However, if they are combined with dark blinds, translucent material can play the role of a lens of bright daylight.

Most commonly used fabrics:

  • Organza is a very thin and transparent (almost invisible), but tough, slightly draped fabric. Transparency organza allows you to use atypical "heavy" shades, for example, brown or red.
  • Veil - less transparent, but softer, well draped.
  • Batiste is a translucent cotton, popular in eco-style interiors, shebbi-chic (in combination with openwork embroidery), provence.
  • To give individuality, you can use a fabric with a pattern, embroidery, print, border, applique.
  • Yarn curtains can also be considered a type of tulle, as they create a transparency effect and have a mostly decorative function. When combining roller shutters and blinds, remember that the latter carry a pronounced Oriental accent.

Style decisions

The combination of tulle and roller blinds looks harmonious in the interiors of various stylistic directions:

Scandinavian interior

Most often blinds and transparent curtains are used in the Scandinavian style. One of his principles is maximum natural light. Typically, this interior is completely without curtains, however, there are exceptions.

If there is too much daylight, for example, the windows face the sunny side, it needs to be adjusted. Roller blinds work well with this. Light roller shutters or cassette blinds make it possible to diffuse light around the room, the lighting will be comfortable.In the bedroom, on the contrary, it is necessary to filter out the excess of external light, if the windows overlook the street lit at night. In this case, blackout shutters will be useful, they will create a dense darkness, favorable for healthy sleep.

Tulle curtains will play a predominantly decorative role and create an additional barrier to light. Light curtains visually expand the window space and make the room brighter.

The Scandinavian design predominantly has white walls, so color unity will be observed.

Classic

For a classic interior, dense curtains are usually used, however, modern interpretations of the classics allow liberties. Details will help to convey the character of the style:

  1. pelmets - decorative horizontal curtains;
  2. hooks that hold the fabric in place;
  3. Swag - gathered sagging wing fabric;
  4. de jabot - the element of a lambrequin laid by vertical folds.

Embroidery, floral design, traditional strip - perfectly fit into the classic style. Another option is invisible curtains. And the roller shutters and tulle of light shades without patterns and draperies seem to dissolve in the interior and give all the attention to furniture and objects.

Industrial design

Interior in the style of "loft" suggests conciseness and practicality of details. Rolshtora will be especially relevant here. Cassette blinds with their clear geometric pattern also match the style. Double roller blinds (day-night) also have a pronounced geometry, and in combination with dark tulle are used in industrial design.

Wood is one of the key materials of the style, so when choosing, pay attention to the cassette blinds with bamboo slats. The most important accent is metal, so you can hang curtains on metal grommets and use other metal fittings.

Be careful in choosing fabrics. Avoid redundant designs (simple geometric shapes, monochrome, abstraction are permissible), multi-colors - bright accents should rhyme with other details.

A good choice for curtains would be translucent natural fabrics: linen, cotton. Light or restrained tones are preferred.

"Rustic" interior

In the so-called country styles: country, Provence - translucent cotton or linen curtains are usually used as tulle curtains.Loops for fastening the fabric to the eaves can be elongated or made in the form of ties. Openwork is widespread: guipure, sewing, lace. Draperies, characteristic of the classical style, emphasize the retro-component of the "village" interiors.

A good solution would be to use bamboo roller blinds or cassette blinds that resemble shutters. The natural muted shades of fabrics, the accessories imitating forging or wooden are preferable.

Art Deco

The interior of Art Deco combines many bright elements from different eras. It is in this style that the design of the window can be bright, without taking all the attention away. Saturated colors, original details, prints - all this is permissible if it becomes an organic part of the general idea.

This style will harmoniously fit Kis or curtain curtains, they will not be original kitsch and will play on equal terms with other bright elements.

Minimalistic design

Not to mention minimalism. This style is characterized by extreme practicality, monochrome restraint of colors, as a rule, a bright and modern approach to lighting: panoramic windows and maximum use of daylight are typical for minimalism. Therefore, the combination of blinds-tulle is appropriate here.
