The child does not pay attention to the windows, if the room is interesting, there is a place to run and play. Any curtains that are lowered to the floor are drawn into play, come off, or fall along with the curtain rod onto your head if they are well secured. Roman blinds have short panels that barely reach the window sill, and they are not in danger of this. That is why it is safer to use them in the rooms of children from one and a half to five years old, using inexpressive fabrics that do not attract attention. And only then, having explained to the child why they are needed, should you replace the boring material with fabric with cheerful colors or a bright print.
Which curtains are suitable
The following would be relevant:
- with closed or open mechanism;
- cassette version;
- with plastic chain device;
- with hypoallergenic fabric for urban environments;
- bright or plain colors to match the wall decoration.

Design
Roman blinds combine aesthetics and functionality. They are easy to use, practical, have strict shapes and easily combine with any style. In the bedroom they can be used as a separate item for decorating windows, or in combination with classic curtains. In this case, the function of a darkening element is performed by a Roman blind, and the traditional one serves for decoration. This smoothes out the severity of the design and adds some romance. Curtains also visually smooth out the window opening. If you decorate the curtains with a cornice, their texture and a certain mystery will appear. An interesting design technique is a double fabric. Interestingly, each layer is controlled separately. And one of the canvases is translucent, the other is dense.
If the Roman blind is correctly selected in color and fabric, it will always blend organically with the design of the entire bedroom. This is due to the simplicity and elegance of this type of curtain. The owner of the bedroom will appreciate such curtains. Because they create peace, comfort and aesthetic pleasure.
Depending on the style, the fabric is selected:
- Classic . Expensive luxurious materials with ornaments from monograms, floral patterns, images of crowns, heraldry, flower bouquets. Fabrics with rhombuses and stripes are selected as companions. Almost always a mandatory attribute is fringe or braid.
- Country . The best choice would be translucent, lightweight colored materials. Colors – rich terracotta, wine-burgundy, soft pastel tones, green.
- Exotic . The fabrics chosen are bright, with a variety of patterns and ornaments of African themes (jungle and savannah). Floral prints, bright natural colors.
- Ecological or ethnic style . Fabrics must be natural. Curtains made of a wooden base or wicker matting will be the height of sophistication. Textured fabrics, rough canvas, and wool are suitable.
- High tech . Preference is given to restrained colors and a limited palette. Grey, white, brown, black. Combine no more than two colors. One is the main one, the second is additional.
- Scandinavian style . Light, natural materials of light colors will fit organically. Shades of milky beige, yellowish, green. They must transmit light well. Translucent fabrics without additional decors (drapes, ruffles, etc.).
- Fusion . Encourages original ideas. Materials should be unexpected color combinations with geometric shapes, smooth or embossed texture.
- East style . It is distinguished by many decorations, glitter, and gold. Fabrics should be expensive with exquisite embroidery, reminiscent of handmade work.
If you don’t want to understand styles, then you can simply choose Roman blinds for your bedroom based on photos of finished interiors. An excellent option to clearly see the combination of colors, shapes, proportions and relate them to your room.
Roman blinds can completely darken a bedroom or softly diffuse sunlight. This is affected by the density of the fabric. And for a harmonious interior, you should carefully consider the color scheme. The shade of the curtains should be consistent with other accessories in the room. This could be bed linen, decorative pillows, a carpet or a bedspread.
The photo shows how by placing accents and varying the patterns of the canvases, you can get original solutions. For example, Roman blinds with checkered or large stripes are perfect for a plain curtain fabric. And if you artistically decorate the folds or lower edge of the curtain with fringe, ribbons or cord, you can enhance or change the style of the composition.
Roman blinds are firmly on the list of the most beloved and popular curtains for the bedroom. They fit harmoniously into modern interiors and are combined with any materials. Thanks to their restrained, laconic forms, they emphasize the beauty and nobility of fabrics and focus attention on the interior.
What to look for when choosing
There are several criteria:
- Size . The length of the curtain rod is determined by the size of the window opening. For wide windows it is better to buy two or three cassettes,
- Mounting method . It is worth choosing fastening with dowels and nails with drilling into the walls. Velcro fastening to the window is unreliable.
- Bracket material . The brackets or frame of the cassettes must be made of metal; plastic fastening with screws will not last long.
- Mechanism . The best option is a device with a plastic chain control mechanism inside the cassette, which is easy to replace when worn. Electric curtain drive for children's rooms is unacceptable. Cloths on cords stretched through rings will quickly fail if a child wants to play with them.
- Color or print . This criterion will come first if the fabric is selected for a specific design theme. If not, it is better to go with a monochromatic option, determined by the wall decoration.
- Price . Low-quality cassettes with an increased risk of injury are inexpensive, but a high price is not a criterion for reliability. You should look for curtains in the mid-price category.
- Textile . The most practical is non-marking polyester and mixed fabrics based on it with dirt- and water-repellent impregnation. The safest for the city will be linen and cotton, which, however, will require frequent washing.

Purpose
Roman blinds are made in the form of vertical, even strips of fabric. When raised, they fold into beautiful soft folds of 20–30 cm and are fixed at the top of the window. The photo shows that the curtains are not raised to the top cornice, leaving 25 - 30 cm so as not to disturb the structure. Rigid elements hold their shape.
When lowered, they cover the window and protect from heat, bright sunlight, and prying eyes. Closed curtains form a perfectly flat surface due to wooden slats fixed to the canvas. This sometimes allows you to hide the imperfections of walls and slopes. The fasteners are easily removed to replace or clean the blade.
Depending on the design of the bedroom, curtains can be the main or additional decorative elements. Sometimes several strips of different heights, textures, densities and colors are hung on one window at once. Most often, as can be seen in the photo, they are represented by only one canvas.
Curtains for boys
There are several defining principles for their use:
- be unavailable until the age of five;
- maintain a nursery theme that is understandable to the child;
- help or at least not interfere with the game necessary for self-affirmation;
- be practical and wear-resistant, with a long service life;
- match the color to the child’s temperament.
Designers have many options for ideas for decorating a boys' nursery.
Games room with exercise equipment
Narrow and tall windows suggest the use of Roman canvases in window openings. The color is neutral, light beige - matches the color of wooden and upholstered furniture, does not evoke strong emotions, and is suitable for temperamental and hyperactive boys.

Wide window in a bright attic
The decoration of the room in cool colors is determined by the wide windows facing the south side. A wide white curtain can muffle the bright sun for daytime sleep, does not interfere with active games, does not attract attention, matching the color of the light floor and white ceiling.

Room of the future athlete
The large, elongated children's room is divided into three zones - for study, sports and relaxation. The end wall and Roman blind are made in black to prepare the boy for school, eliminating the fear of being at the blackboard.

Big tent
Parents who love hiking decided to instill in their son the ability to not give in to difficulties, captivating him with the romance of travel. A dark canvas on the window can create twilight during the day, and serve as a black sky in the evening, without distracting the child from the lantern, which imitates the reflections of a night fire.
the.little.tree.house
Brothers room
Here three primary colors - white, dark gray and bright orange - solve their problems. White serves as a general background, dark is a place for games, orange keeps you from getting bored, encouraging you to take action. A white curtain, merging with the ceiling and furniture, distracts attention from what is happening outside the window, even if a wide bench nearby becomes a play area.

Marine theme
Raised high above a wooden boat, the black and white awning and Roman shade fabric are the same color, creating the effect of raised sails. This removes the child, who is captivated by the game, from the desire to climb onto a high window.

Cozy bay window
A small bay window, divided by slats into many small cells, is not dangerous for a calm boy who is keen on reading. A high sleeping place allows daylight to be brought closer to the open pages, and events outside the window distract the eyes from the lines, having a good effect on vision. A Roman blind drawn down in the evening with the lights on creates a cozy place for playing games and reading fairy tales before bed.
"We get together"
This is the motto of a bright nursery with plenty of space for games on the floor. Raised Roman canvases do not interfere with the abundance of light during the day; they merge with the decoration of the walls, wigwam and bedside rug in the evening, without distracting the owner of the room and his friends from an exciting game.

Striped walls
Monotonous black and white walls cause boredom and make you turn away, carried away by the game on the white carpet with an attractive bright red border. A window with white fabric becomes uninteresting, forcing the child to look for entertainment on the floor among his favorite toys.

Bed with slide
A slippery slide with steep steps will tire even a super-active baby with a huge excess of energy in a short time and will be used by him to quickly get out of bed after a night and day sleep. The slide will not allow you to linger near the windows, distracting attention, and the gray boring fabric of the curtains will not arouse interest in the evening, when the illuminated niche under the bed draws towards you.

Strictness and comfort
A room with a high bed for sleeping is not suitable for games. Gray and dark blue colors make you close tired eyes, and light curtains, abundantly covered with a network of black rings, will not let in sunlight during the day and moonlight during night sleep. And only your favorite toys in this boring room, taken to bed, will allow you to quickly come to terms with sleep.

Gaming paradise
A large room under the roof of the house, where there is a lot of light and space for games, where you can sleep during the day, sitting comfortably in hammock chairs, and in the evening listen to your mother or grandmother's tales, climbing on a low chest of drawers by the window, will be remembered for a long time by children and will not make parents worry, who thought about the safety of small windows covered with white fabric of Roman blinds.

Common headboard
This is how beds are placed if a brother and sister or two boys live in the nursery. The room with the window wide open is located on the first floor, without causing concern for the safety of children. That's why next to the window there is a ladder leading to the mezzanine, and a climber's corner with holds, allowing the boys to train the strength of their legs and arms. Roman fabrics on the windows continue the white theme of the walls, speaking of the cleanliness and neatness of the little owners.

Place for a celebration
The children's room is designed in such a way that there is no need to fear for the lives of the little ones by placing a comfortable chest of drawers with a bed just below the windows. White fabrics on all windows, symbolizing cleanliness and safety, blend with the color of the ceiling and furniture.

We play and read
A blue children's room with a bunk bed is located on the first floor of a residential building. Heavy lifting doors are difficult to open without the help of adults, who decided to place a high shelf just below the window sill for the convenience of games and reading. The color of the fabric on the window is neutral and slightly dilutes the monochromatic decoration of the walls and furniture.

Stylish room
Decorated in different shades of gray, this room has many interesting things. This is the idea of white, expressed by the wide plinth, ceiling and window frame, and the color of the Roman shade, repeated on the lampshades of the wall sconces, and the unified theme of dark stripes, found on the window fabric, sofa cushions and bedspread. All this became a single whole, called the “stylish room”.

For the future climber
The high ceilings determined the purpose of the nursery - to become a place where the strength, spirit and endurance of a little climber are nurtured. The gray color of the fabrics on the high windows, which matches the color of the “rock,” symbolizes difficulties and trials that must be overcome.

Alcove by the window
The attic space under the roof, turned into a huge children's room, is painted in light colors that do not draw attention to the irregular geometry of the lines. A small alcove has become a cozy place to relax after games, and the bright window opening, illuminated by artificial light, remains so when the white curtain is lowered.
Back to school soon
The white color of the ceiling and walls with the white decor of the window fabrics absorbs a lot of light, allowing you to make reading books a constant activity for the baby - the owner of this nursery.

Children's room for two brothers
The gray theme of the walls, ceiling and floor does not make the room boring. There are many interesting colors here: light yellow headboards, blue bedspreads and chairs, the black outline of Mickey Mouse's head peeking out from behind the fence, and the colorful fabric of the Roman blind, which has absorbed all the colors.
Car lover
Every color in a room has a meaning. Gray is the asphalt on the road, red is a danger signal, and white is a unifying color. Roman blinds have a specific theme - to remind the child to watch out for cars by paying full attention to them.

House in the nursery
The huge volume of the children's room contains a large number of different themes - a house where it is warm and cozy, the darkness of space, where the Earth is a small ball, an obstacle course that needs to be overcome on the way to the house, a lot of space for studying and a Roman window blind, which has become a symbol of light and knowledge.

A tropical forest
The opportunity to live in a real forest will teach the owner of this nursery to survive in difficult conditions, develop endurance and strength when climbing ropes, and strengthen muscles on the steep steps leading to the treehouse. The fabric on the window, continuing the tropical forest theme, does not distract the wildlife explorer from the game.

Functionality
When ordering Roman blinds, the material savings will be significant. Compared to conventional ones, you will need almost half as much fabric. This will allow you to purchase higher quality or more expensive fabric. Roman blinds are also an excellent solution for glass doors. For example, in country houses.
Roman blinds are great for any bedroom; they are deservedly popular and in great demand for obvious reasons:
- In large, airy rooms they pair beautifully with traditional drapes. These can be multilayer structures. They look very interesting and organic. Each part plays its role. The Roman blind is usually responsible for the level of illumination in the room.
- Children's bedrooms set the direction for modernity and safety. Children will not be able to drop the curtain or pull the curtain. It is securely fastened and raised to an inaccessible height. This plays an important role. While ordinary curtains, fluttering from a draft, are an object of danger.
- For small bedrooms, in small apartments or apartments with small window openings, this is a very relevant solution. Excessive decoration creates the impression of clutter. And Roman blinds organically decorate the window and save space. In addition, a well-chosen color scheme visually expands the space and makes the bedroom more comfortable.
Roman blinds make it easy to adjust the light level. When waking up in the morning, raise it to a comfortable height. And in the evening, just lower it and feel complete calm. The photo clearly shows that Roman blinds are appropriate on large floor-to-ceiling windows, and on standard windows of city apartments, and in wide openings of country houses, and in children's bedrooms.

Would you like to place Roman blinds in your nursery?
No. I don't like them. Why not, there are many decent options. Yes. Want. This is interesting. I already have curtains like this in the nursery. I like it, I recommend it
Pink alcove
A cozy place in white and pink tones, enclosed by sliding curtains, creates a unique world of dreams and fantasies, where your favorite toys become your best friends. The pink canvas on the window, illuminated by the sun, expresses hope that wishes will soon come true.

For little Barbie
The decoration of the nursery in soft pink tones and toys similar to those that accompany the real Barbie in life speak of the desire of the little mistress of this room to live in a fairy-tale and kind world, where there is no fear and deception, where there is fidelity and love. The Roman fabric on the window protects the imagined world from reality, standing out against the background of the wall as a border.

Princess room
Gilded furniture and a golden border of the headboard, expensive furniture, toys and a laptop where cartoons are shown before bed, speak of the future of the princess living in this room.

Decorative arch
The beauty of this nursery is in the decorative arch that covers the Roman blind with a heart print on the small window. This was done for beauty and warmth. The hearts speak of the love that reigns in this house, and the thick fabric protects against the cold air coming from the window.
Sleeping place by the window
A wide window sill made it possible to create an interesting place for reading and playing by the window, decorated with colorful, non-repeating fabrics. The window, bordered by shelves on both sides, is covered with a light, dense fabric with a print of triangular flags in orange, red and blue to create a good mood, protection from the bright sun and moonlight.

Pink bedroom
Three colors define the mood of a child's bedroom. The main, rich pink is the color of the walls, bedspreads and pillows of the bed - a source of good mood and restful sleep, the second, light brown - the color of the Roman blinds and bed upholstery - is a sign of safety, and the third, white, complements the first two, reducing their intensity.

Window sill-table
Two sisters of different ages living in a room love cleanliness and comfort, take care of their beloved dog, play rescue service and do their homework. Parents, not wanting to reduce the space for games, arranged a table for studying near the window, replacing the tabletop with a window sill board. An interesting contrasting curtain made of blackout black is capable of completely blocking daylight, allowing the younger sister to sleep during the day.

Room with a wigwam
The dull light gray color that fills the entire nursery is diluted with bright pink spots on the bed covers and the roof of the toy doll house.

Abundance of shades
The combination of gray and pink wall colors is interesting here. Where the direct rays of the sun fall, the walls are painted pink, where reflected light dominates - gray. The play of wall colors is continued in the gray decor of the bed canopy and the pink color of its upholstery, creating a combination of different shades of two primary colors in a bright room. A thick pink curtain is necessary for a south window. She is able to block sunlight during the day and moonlight at night, allowing the owner to sleep peacefully.

Another option for combining pink and gray. Gray walls, white ceiling and light furniture combined with laminate flooring are the main colors for decorating a nursery.

Lots of space in a small room
Compact furniture on two levels has plenty of space for clothing, relaxation and games. The white translucent fabric of the Roman blind does not block the path of the sun, but evenly scatters its rays over the pink, brown and light surfaces of the walls, ceiling and furniture.

Bright toys in a black and white interior
Blackout blackout sheets placed on three narrow, elongated windows do not completely cover the window openings, leaving space at the top for opening the transoms when ventilating the nursery. This does not make it possible to create darkness for daytime sleep, but protects the housewife playing on the floor from the annoying sun. A room in contrasting black and white colors does not look dull and austere due to the abundance of white surfaces, bright orange spots on the chair and mattress in the hammock chair, and multi-colored rugs on the floor.
Two tiers
Any white bedroom is famous for its cleanliness, so white is the preferred color when choosing the interior design of a girls' nursery. To prevent the white color from being boring and monotonous, add bright spots of decor to it. In the girls' room, this includes armchair upholstery, head bolsters on the beds, and the colorful color of opaque Roman curtains.

A room with bright white walls, with drawings of stars and spaceships is more suitable for a boy, but the owner of the room did it all differently, imagining that it was a polar day, polar ice and a tent where it was comfortable to lie on pillows.

Models of curtains for the nursery: features and advantages
The choice of model for a children's room depends on personal preferences and the overall style of the interior. Heavy drapes can be hung on the east side to block out the bright sunlight in the morning, but it is important to choose the most secure fastenings. Light and airy curtains are an excellent choice for darkened rooms and for bedrooms with a balcony. They are easy to care for, easy to wash and hang, and are available in any color.
Straight models
Classic straight curtains are the simplest solution. They can be plain or bright, with color prints and images of cartoon characters. More often, a heavier curtain is used in combination with a lightweight organza curtain to control the lighting in the room. Even the simplest options to match the wallpaper can be further decorated with your own hands:
- lambrequins - a horizontal strip of fabric on the top of the curtain, they can be made in the form of clouds or other objects;
- tiebacks - there are beautiful options on sale in the form of soft toys that “hug” curtains;
- stripes and appliqués.
Straight curtains for a nursery should not be too massive. Brocade and other heavy fabrics are more appropriate in the parent's bedroom. They not only protect from the sun, but also collect a lot of dust and can fall during children's games.
French curtains
Luxurious French curtains are a great idea for a girl’s bedroom. They consist of several vertical sections and are decorated with voluminous drapery. There are several varieties of them: they can be static or lifting, length up to the floor or window sill. Static options are often made from light translucent materials and replace tulle.
Heavy French curtains can be raised with a simple mechanism that even a child can handle. These options are well suited for a princess-style room, decorated with flowers, ribbons and soft toys, as well as a canopy for the bed.
Austrian curtains
These curtains are a hybrid of two varieties: Roman and French. They are controlled by a rail mechanism that lifts and lowers the fabric in a vertical direction. When unfolded, they are straight, can be plain or with a pattern, and on their lower part there are draperies, as in the French version. When lifted, the fabric forms beautiful, symmetrical folds.
Austrian curtains have always been considered a luxury item and are also called scalloped. They look massive and may not be suitable for the bedroom of an active child, but they will definitely appeal to gentle and romantic girls of any age.
Roman blinds - an elegant classic
Such products are gradually gaining popularity. Their main feature is the mechanism by which the fabric rises, forming perfectly even folds. When unfolded, they are smooth, with smooth edges without drapery. This option is suitable for a children's bedroom for several reasons:
- ease of operation - to raise the curtain, just pull the rope;
- simplicity - the product does not distract attention from the overall interior and does not clutter the room;
- comfortable design with wooden inserts - such curtains will definitely not be used for children's games.
Roman blinds are an ideal option for a child's room. They are lightweight and come in any shade, are easily adjustable and do not take up space. They can be attached in combination with any other elements, including a lambrequin or an additional heavy curtain.
Roller blinds
Such products for children are one of the most practical solutions. They are represented by a smooth piece of fabric, which, when unfolded, reaches the window sill. If you use the mechanism, they quickly roll up into a roll located in the upper part. They are often made in bright colors; there are also special children's colors with images of animals, dolls and cars, and cartoon characters. Such curtains are as safe as possible for an active child, since they are short and light.
Blinds
They can be an excellent alternative to classic curtains and curtains. Their main feature is convenient adjustment and a wide selection of shapes, colors and materials. Blinds look appropriate in any interior, do not clutter up the space and provide excellent protection from bright sunlight. There are options on sale for every taste and budget, including the most daring design solutions. Modern collections offer the following models:
- plastic, metal-plastic, fabric (jute) or wood;
- horizontal or vertical;
- plain or printed.
Blinds are not necessarily a boring, plain plastic option that is more suitable for an office or clinic. Options for children's rooms are available in bright colors, with images of stars, plants and animals, and fairy-tale characters. At the same time, it will be convenient for the child to use the mechanism, and he will be able to raise and lower the blinds without the help of adults.
Japanese curtains
Such products are a dense partition that slides apart in two directions. Initially, such structures were used as an additional wall to divide a small room into several departments. The idea of attaching them to windows instead of curtains or blinds appeared already in Europe.
Such solutions have not yet gained sufficient popularity, but are already present in the collections of famous designers. Japanese floor-length curtains can not only protect a child from bright sunlight, but also additionally block access to open windows. In addition, there are light translucent options that are used more for decorative purposes.
Curtains for teenagers
For teenagers, the colors of walls and curtains are not so important. They need a special topic that excites them, as well as information content in the interior of the room.
Army conditions
A simple room without unnecessary items, needed to prepare for military service. There are almost no objects in the room - only a few books that help you fall asleep quickly. The fabrics on the cotton windows are unremarkable. The color is white, the predominant color in the interior.

Study room
A well-thought-out interior that does not allow distractions from the main topic - good or successful studies. Here two colors are equivalent - light gray for walls, furniture fronts and curtains, beige for tables, poufs and shelves for books. Raised canvases, located in the window openings opposite the table and mezzanine with a soft mattress, let in excess light during the day, allowing you to read a lot, and lowered in the evening, merge with the color of the walls, without drawing attention to the windows.

The large window opening is covered with a wide Roman blind, allowing you to replace the view from the window with a plain beige color.

The typical pink decoration of the room is complemented by bright patterns, giving the room personality. Translucent light Roman canvases do not block the access of light through large windows, creating a festive atmosphere in the room.

Two wide canvases
Two translucent Roman curtains cover the entire area of the end wall of the room, creating the effect of the presence of an invisible window. The lack of lighting caused by this decision is easily compensated by the abundance of local lamps on the table, on pendants, on shelves and on the ceiling.

Pink on gray background
A large, richly decorated teenage girl's bedroom has light gray wall decoration, which is possible if the windows face south and, starting at noon, the sun actively illuminates the entire room. Thick Roman canvases made of light pink fabric with a dark pink border, which can smoothly regulate the illumination of the room, will help reduce the flow of light. When the windows are closed with curtains, the intensity of pink colors will not decrease - the sun will be replaced by lamps on the counter, illumination of a painting on the wall and a ceiling chandelier.

White on pink background
The usual light pink color is beautiful in the morning, when the rays of the sun, breaking through the white fabric of the curtains and reflected from the walls with pink reflections, wake up the owner of the room, creating a good mood for the whole day.

From games to school activities
It's quite difficult to part with toys when it's time for school. I’ve already bought a desk for homework, and my backpack is filled with interesting books, but again I’m drawn to the yard and again the cheerful ball winks with its orange sides, inviting me to run. But no. The light gray walls are reminiscent of school, and the setting sun from under the window curtain speaks of the approaching night. Everything is dull and boring. But there is no other way. Studying is work that does not like distractions.

Twelve year old daughter's room
All shades of gray form the color base of the room, complemented by light brown wood, spots of turquoise in the paintings, white bedspread and chair upholstery. A wide, dense polyester fabric reliably protects the room from the sun, forcing you to get up when the alarm clock rings.

Ten and older
A similar version of the room, made in lighter colors, suitable for a girl with a cheerful, light character. The overall light background is diluted with lilac inserts of paintings and a sofa cushion. A light-colored Roman blind reliably covers the window from the sun and night lights of the city.

Designer error
A chest of drawers, placed by the window, seems to have been specially selected in height so that the mattress is at the level of the window sill. This is an unsafe solution for a window located on the second floor of the house. It does not have a grille, similar to the grille of a French balcony, and the sash opens outward, making it difficult to clean. The dull gray color of the room is diluted with inexpressive inserts of orange and yellow colors, and a closed thick curtain makes the room gloomy, unable to lift the mood and inspire optimism.
Error in fabric decoration
A teenager who has grown up from toys is drawn to assert himself and try his hand at any test of luck and courage. This desire is fostered by cool movie characters. The urban romance of Spider-Man's life is reflected in the simple design of a teenager's room. But the decor of the fabrics is not worked out - the Roman blind, the curtains, and the bedspread are in no way coordinated or interconnected.
Rich fantasy
The first impression of a design rich in objects is chaos and disorder. But if you look closely at the details, everything falls into place. A well-chosen combination of colors - white, gray and shades of blue, an end wall with sources of natural and artificial light, the idea of compact placement of furniture, leaving plenty of space for play, the exciting fantasy of a wall painting, which was continued in real toys, and even a Roman blind, which confirmed two main colors of the room. Such “chaos” can foster a creative personality with rich fantasy and imagination.

Designer tips
When choosing a fabric option, you must remember that Roman blinds and regular blinds must be combined with the interior styles of the room.
For example:
- Canvases with bright patterns should be chosen if the room has plain walls, without pronounced ornaments;
- Plain fabrics or fabrics with non-contrasting patterns are best chosen in rooms with colorful wallpaper. This is due to the fact that in the straightened state the Roman blind is stretched evenly, and appliqués and drawings on it will look much more advantageous;
- When choosing the size of a picture, the main rule is that on the canvas they should not be larger than the elements of pictures on wallpaper or decor on the walls;
- Natural materials for canvases: paper, cotton, jute, linen - this is the basis of the ethno-style. It is better to use them for curtains in the living room and bedroom;
Tip: Do not use natural fabrics for the kitchen and bathroom. This is impractical - they become dirty faster and fungus can develop on them.
- Windows facing north can be enlivened with fabrics in warm colors;
- Windows facing south should be decorated with curtains with cool shades;
- Western and eastern windows have no special restrictions; curtain fabric can be chosen at your discretion.
Any curtain is cozy, Roman, in addition to this it is also practical, easy to install and use.
Roman blinds for the living room
The Roman curtain and tulle together with it look great in the living room interior. In this case, the best option is full compliance with the interior style and curtain fabrics.
For example:
- Plain dense fabrics are ideal for classic and modern interiors;
- The fabric may not be monochromatic, but in this case the pattern and overall interior design should match in style. For example, fabric with vertical stripes or checks, in combination with the colors of other elements of furnishings and decor, can give the interior the spirit of “good and old England”;
- In the living room with discreet walls in pastel colors, Romanesque-style canvases with contrasting patterns or ornaments look impressive;

- A curtain made of jacquard or thick tapestry with an ornate “royal” ornament will add solemnity and aristocracy to the room;
Tip: To give the design of the living room airiness and lightness, you should use light and light curtains. And this impression is enhanced even more if a translucent Roman blind is combined with tulle or muslin.

Recently, double Roman blinds are often installed day-night. It consists of two canvases of different densities, one serves as a curtain, and the other as a curtain. These curtains look great on any window.
Bedroom
Brown Roman blind in the bedroom
A dim Roman blind is chosen for sleeping rooms: a bedroom is a room in which a person should relax and have a good rest. Textiles here can overlap with the shades of upholstery of upholstered furniture.
For this room, a Roman blind in Provence, country or eco style can be made of jute or bamboo.

Children's room
Light green Roman blind in a children's room
Curtains in a children's room should be bright and cheerful. A gray Roman blind does not fit well here.
In the nursery, you can safely experiment with finishing the canvas for the window:
- Add fringe;
- Use beads;
- Attach tassels or ribbons.
For children, it is better to choose curtains from natural, environmentally friendly fabric, preferably with a smooth and dense texture. It can be: poplin, satin, silk, denim or thick linen - the Roman blind in this case will be “breathable”, durable and easy to care for.
Depending on the functional purpose of the room, the illumination of the nursery also changes. She may be:

Kitchen and dining room
Window decoration in the kitchen
The use of Roman models in the kitchen is simply a godsend. This room does not require rich window decoration; just a laconic, but quite elegant solution is enough.
In addition, due to high humidity and grease particles, textiles quickly begin to become dirty, which requires frequent washing and ironing of the curtain. Such products can be easily removed and washed at home.
In the kitchen, Roman and Austrian curtains made of polyester, cotton, linen and their mixed modifications with impregnations are mounted on the windows. They are distinguished by easy care, the materials practically do not absorb odors, take a long time to get dirty, and are easy to wash.
When choosing material for the canvas, you must adhere to the following recommendations from experts:
- For a small kitchen with windows facing north, it is better to choose curtains of light colors and medium density. If there is a pattern on them, it is desirable that its color matches the kitchen furnishings or its accessories;
- In a spacious and well-lit kitchen, you can use canvases in rich dark tones. However, in any case, the fabric should be lighter than the walls, without merging with them;
Tip: For kitchen windows, complex patterns on fabrics should be avoided. Here, alternating wide and narrow stripes, large checkered patterns, and polka dots are acceptable.
- When combining Roman blinds and drapes in the kitchen, it is better to choose models made of light fabric so that the spacious kitchen is not visually oversaturated with color;
- Only in spacious rooms is it possible to experiment with the color and texture of curtains.
To choose the best option for curtains in the kitchen, you should watch the video.
Bathroom
Roman blind for the bathroom
If there is a window in the bathroom, such practical models look great. For the bathroom, you should choose dense fabrics; you can use a lining to prevent the curtain from showing through in electric light.
The colors of curtain models for the bathroom are chosen in the same way as for living rooms. For example:
- Fabrics in pastel colors are suitable for classic interiors;
- In the Art Nouveau style, the design will be complemented by contrasting fabrics with bright prints;
- In a high-tech style, the interior will be decorated with fabrics with a metallic sheen.
To keep the price of the product lower, a Roman blind for the bathroom can be made independently. For this:
- You choose which Roman blind is best, how much fabric you need for it;
- The necessary material is purchased. It can be polyester with the addition of fiberglass, mixed materials: polyester with linen, satin, cotton or viscose. Such curtains will not fade in the sun, have increased moisture resistance, durability and easy care;
- Blanks for products are prepared;
- Next, we sew a Roman blind ourselves.

Tulle behind the curtain
A thick curtain, like a theater curtain, rises in the morning and falls in the evening, protecting the girl’s room at night. The ceiling molding is spaced from the wall at a distance sufficient to accommodate Roman blinds and lambrequins, which do not prevent the tulle from moving freely along the window during the day.

An option for placing double curtains made of Roman curtains and tulle, which coexist freely together at a short distance from the window in the window opening.

Double curtain
Another type of double curtain placed on one window. This abundance of curtains is explained not only by the design of the designer, who is trying to imagine the design of the room in different lighting conditions. There is a simple practical application here: in winter and summer, the sun rises and sets differently, looking into the room from different angles and illuminating it with different strengths. The owner of the room needed the opportunity to combine different fabrics at his discretion.

Tulle curtain on cornice
Two cornices above the window opening hold two different curtains - a Roman curtain and a tulle curtain, gathered with a side tie like an Italian curtain. To protect the room from the bright sun and diffuse the light, achieving uniform illumination of objects - these are the main tasks of these curtains.

Two curtains with circular tiebacks
The main meaning of tulle is to protect the interior of the room from prying eyes in the morning, when the sun peeks through the window. During the rest of the day, the curtains are gathered with circular tiebacks, without interfering with daylight entering the room. The Roman blind protects the window in the evening and at night as needed.
Tulle curtain
If there is a need to illuminate shade-loving plants with scattered rays of the sun in the morning to prevent leaf burns, then it is easy to make a Roman blind from tulle yourself. No other curtains are needed. A window facing north and northeast always gives in little light.

Tulle stitched with braid
A more viable option, unlike the previous case, allows you to extend the service life of the canvas due to the braid along which the cords of the roller blind slide from the inside. It is better to use this curtain on northern windows, where the light flux is minimal during the day.

Tulle curtains with side tie-backs
Two cornices and two types of curtains live comfortably together if the windows face the south and southwest sides. Thick fabric will protect from the bright sun in the afternoon, and tulle will be useful in the first half of the day. Wide windows are artistically decorated with side ties that gather the translucent fabric into beautiful folds like Italian curtains, and the Roman fabric is raised higher to increase the intensity of the morning light passing through the window.

Which curtains to choose for a boy and a girl?
Roman blinds in the interior can be perfectly combined with tulle curtains, drapes, classic curtains, and also with other Roman models. Cornices look good with them. As you can see, there are many options for creating an interior. Therefore, it will not be difficult to choose the necessary combination for a girl’s or boy’s room.
Of course, pink shades are most often chosen for a girl’s room. Furniture and wallpaper can be soft pink tones. To ensure that all items do not merge, it is advisable to highlight curtains, bedspreads, and bed linen using color.
It is best to choose Roman blinds with a large floral print, as well as a scarlet satin border. If the curtains have a dense texture, they will harmonize well with colorful tulle and a cornice decorated with scarlet fabric.
You can also choose any Roman blinds for your bedroom. Taking into account the wishes of the child, it is quite possible to create a sporty or nautical style with their help. If the room has a window opening of a non-standard shape, then such curtains will help preserve the space of the room, and also, freeing up the window sill, use it as a table or shelf.
Since boys love outdoor games, the use of Roman blinds will reduce the risk of injury due to the lack of curtain rods. It is worth remembering that boys are more impressed by products of a more formal design, and girls by more elegant ones.
If we are talking about a newborn’s bedroom, then it is better to make your choice in favor of soft pastel colors. These colors help you fall asleep faster.
Children of preschool and primary school age are more attracted to curtains that have a plot or an interesting pattern, which makes them fantasize and use their imagination. In adolescence, children of any gender prefer brighter, more saturated colors.
When choosing Roman blinds for children, parents are guided not only by their aesthetics, but also by their practicality. What do you need to remember to make the right choice?
If there is sufficiently bright natural light, it is better to buy curtains in neutral or pastel shades. This is due to the fact that too bright, colorful paintings have a tiring effect on the child and can even lead to mental stress.
If the children's area is small, then it is recommended to use Roman curtains in light shades with small patterns. At the same time, if you have light-colored furniture, curtains of similar tones will blend in with the pieces of furniture, so it is better to choose brighter, more colorful colors. If the bedroom is elongated, then a horizontal stripe on the curtains will help visually expand the room.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account the style in which you plan to create the interior of the nursery. If this is a classic interior, then the curtains should be either quite restrained or elegant. involves the use of natural canvases in natural shades. Fabrics with bows, cockerels, polka dots, and flowers will look organic, which will emphasize the rural motif.
In addition, you need to remember that colors such as beige and white are considered universal, so curtains of this tone will harmoniously fit into a children's bedroom for both a boy and a girl, be it a classic or modern style.
Speaking of attaching curtains, priority should be given to fixing each part to a separate window frame. This will not only be cheaper, but also more practical, since the child will be able to independently determine the amount of natural light by lifting each part one by one. At the same time, they can be removed separately as they become dusty.
So, we can conclude that Roman blinds for a children's room are a win-win option. Following the advice of designers, you can create a cozy, comfortable and at the same time unusual interior that will appeal to a child of any age.
Buying Roman blinds for a nursery is one of the most successful and simple ways to tastefully decorate a child’s personal space and create coziness in his room. Properly selected curtains, in harmony with other interior items, help decorate the room and create an environment favorable for the development of the child, in accordance with his age and gender.
