For the kitchen, muted colors are most often chosen, as is the case with the bedroom. After all, this is the place where you often have to be: breakfast, dinner after a working day. Nothing in the interior should cause irritation, distract from rest, so the curtains should be light, airy, and red should not oppress, but cause a good mood.

Gray everyday life turns into a holiday when you go into the kitchen and see the bright curtains. They focus on themselves, thereby distracting from the shortcomings, if they are present in the interior of the kitchen.
If the kitchen is small, then the red curtains will not work. Visually, they make the space smaller, so it feels like the kitchen is stuffy and not enough air, and this is a minus.

How to choose?
Curtains should not only decorate the kitchen, but also bring practical benefits, protecting a person from prying eyes from the street. It is undesirable to select models that are too long, because the kitchen has to constantly move around, and this can interfere with the workflow. Also, the curtains should be opened in one fell swoop of the hand to provide quick access to the window. The ideal option is a white short tulle and ready-made red curtains of the same length.
Please note: when buying curtains for your kitchen, you need to remember that dark colors visually reduce the space, so it is better to focus on light shades of red.
In addition, if the walls have wallpaper with large drawings, then the curtains should be plain. But if you choose a model with a classic cage as the design, then it will always look appropriate.
Polka dot curtains look charming in a small kitchenette - they decorate the room, create a relaxed atmosphere and cheer up. Cozy red curtains in white polka dots to the windowsill - a very appropriate design option.
The pattern does not have to be ordered - you can choose a model with a scattering of peas. Such a curtain will be perfectly combined with a translucent curtain.
Red curtains are an original and interesting solution, but do not forget that a bright color can cause a pressing psychological state. Black and red curtains, for example, will make the interior of the kitchen extravagant, daring and give it originality, but it is unlikely that they can relax in such a room. However, if such a combination is still difficult to refuse, then you can hang red curtains with black fragments on them. It will look spectacular and bring a “twist” to the interior.
Curtains in shades such as beige, milky and cream will help soften the bright red color of the curtains. Delicate shades will muffle the riot of colors and in general will look harmoniously in the kitchen. It is worth considering the appearance of your headset - if it is in bright colors, then red curtains will be inappropriate, but if the furniture and headset are light, then you can safely experiment.
Please note: light, translucent curtains can fit very well in the interior, even if there is so much red in it. But dense curtains and overly aggressive tones are not recommended to be used - you will want to leave this room as soon as possible, and not be in it for a long time.
You need to choose curtains, based on the style of the whole room. Red will look appropriate in minimalistic modern designs, loft, as well as in such a direction as fusion. For the classics, something more calm should be chosen, and for the provence, bright colors are completely inappropriate. Optimum curtain materials for the kitchen: linen, chintz, cotton, poplin. Models made of synthetic materials are also suitable.
