Curtains and drapes give any window a cozy look, but black curtains have always stood alone on the list of window decorations.
Curtains of this color can be used in different rooms of your home. Imagine a house with a beautifully engraved ceiling, a huge hallway, large rooms.
The back door opens onto views of a manicured lawn interspersed with the sparkle of vibrant wild flowers.
The sun's rays enter the house from all sides. A wonderful picture, if you don’t take into account that the house turns out to be very warm.
It can be so warm that it is impossible to stay in the room for a long time. What's the ideal solution for this? Curtains and only curtains!
Any interior design will be incomplete without magnificent drapery, which will add many times more elegance to your windows and even doors.
Therefore, if you are considering decorating for your home, you should check out all the curtain and drapery options for different parts of your home.
To assess how suitable black curtains are for the interior, it is best to look through different photos of black curtains in the interior in advance.
Curtain fabrics
Nowadays, one-, two- and three-layer fabrics are used for sewing curtains. And the variety of materials is amazing. Here is just a small sample of the huge range of materials presented on the modern curtain fabric market:
• velvet – a fairly heavy fabric with dense pile, has always been considered a symbol of luxury; • brocade is a fabric that can be safely classified as a premium class fabric; • cambric – a simple fabric, one side of which has a shiny surface; • tulle – transparent material made of cotton or polyester.
A little information: Photos of numerous samples of fabrics for curtains are presented in abundance on our website.
General recommendations
In order for the curtains to look as harmonious as possible, it is necessary that the ceiling be white and, if possible, the furniture in light colors.
For rooms that are located on the sunny side, curtains made of thick fabric are perfect.
If the room is not illuminated by strong sunlight, the presence of such curtains will require additional lighting sources.
How to take advantage of black?
We can talk endlessly about the variety of color palettes of fabrics. Let's focus on black, which is considered the least popular. Usually dark colors are used in office decor. They reek of officialdom a mile away. Therefore, black is much less common in the home than, for example, white or blue. However, you can see examples of the use of black in the kitchen, living room and bedroom in the photo.
However, connoisseurs value black for its ability to provoke, or, more precisely, to focus attention on certain interior details.
Therefore, black curtains, when skillfully used in combinations of other colors, can create a feeling of coziness and comfort in the house. But it should be borne in mind that black color is distinguished by its ability to absorb light, a significant part of which will not be able to break through the dark fabric.
Red curtains in the kitchen interior
The kitchen space is the place where you can experiment with the most daring color schemes. However, red curtains are a special case; you should be very careful when choosing the required shade, because housewives spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so it is very important that curtains in bright red tones do not irritate the psyche. The most suitable will be discreet shades of red - pomegranate, cherry, berry, dark red, burgundy. The thread curtains mentioned above will be a wonderful decoration for kitchen windows. These can be threads to the floor, gathered at the edges into neat bunches, or threads just below the window sill. You can also use these curtains to separate the kitchen space from the dining room, creating a translucent “wall” of red threads. However, muslin curtains are unlikely to be suitable for a room with abundant natural light; the thin threads of such curtains are not the most reliable protection from the sun. In addition, they can hardly be called a practical option, since there is a risk that if such curtains are washed incorrectly, the threads will simply become tangled, and kitchen curtains require regular care, as they are most susceptible to contamination. However, if you prefer the aesthetic side of the issue, then threads are a very original decoration for kitchen windows and doorways.
If you want to combine the stylish design of curtains with their functional properties, then Roman blinds are your option. Red Roman curtains will look very organic as a drapery for a kitchen window and will allow you to easily adjust the lighting in the room. Many housewives have already appreciated the undeniable advantages of Roman blinds: wear resistance, resistance to fading and various stains without loss of design. So, Roman blinds are one of the leaders among modern kitchen draperies.
Color harmony
Of course, the abundance of red elements in the design of a room can make staying in it simply unbearable. To avoid this, you need to find the most harmonious combinations of shades of red. As mentioned above, the red color will look advantageous against the background of light wallpaper in gentle, calm tones. This tandem in the interior of the room will become the most harmonious. Choose wallpaper in such a way that there is no hint of competition with red, since a conflict in the design of walls and windows will create a feeling of disharmony in the room. Wallpaper of all shades of beige, milky, cream is perfect. Also, gray, pale green, gray-blue wallpaper will perfectly dilute the uncontrollable energy of red curtains. Sand-colored walls combined with bright shades of red will create a pleasant, cozy atmosphere in the room.
The combination of white-red-black is considered an undisputed classic. For example, snow-white wallpaper with black patterns will be a great complement to scarlet curtains. Do not forget about the harmonious fusion of all textile elements of the interior. Let your fiery curtains find a response in the decor of sofa cushions, furniture upholstery and bedspreads.
Thanks to the successful selection of shade and its correct combination with the color of the wallpaper, your red curtains will become a piquant highlight of any design you choose.
