Curtains from a veil are lightweight, weightless. In whatever room they hang, they give it movement, airiness and visually increase it. This is the exact opposite of the effect that is felt in cases with heavy fabric curtains. In a room where curtains from a veil hang, there is always a feeling of spaciousness.
Why are veil curtains interesting?
Veil - the material is very thin, perfectly transmitting the rays of the sun and not restraining air currents. This is made possible thanks to special weaving - the fabric is a fine mesh, the cells of which are clearly visible.
Of course a veil is not only a curtain from a grid, but also any other translucent model. That is, for its manufacture, both natural fiber and artificial yarns can be used. The most common second option.
Window decor with a veil curtain is possible in any style of interior, it is only important to choose the right fabric. Curtain made of linen - natural, eco-friendly - will decorate both eco style and Scandinavian or minimalism. And curtains with a print in the form of flowers fit perfectly into the interior in style provence. For country characteristic bright cell, strip, geometric pattern.
Models made of translucent fabric are deservedly popular for the diffused light that is created thanks to them indoors. The sun's rays, refracted through the mesh material, lose their straightness, become soft. In such a room it becomes pleasant to be.
Material properties
The veil has the following technological characteristics:
- ability to pass air and sunshine perfectly;
- fragility - it is easy to put a “puff” on the fabric, tear it, burn it with an iron, wrinkle it;
- ironing the fabric is not easy - it is much more convenient to use a steamer;
- ability to keep fit well;
- The material is smooth and soft.
If you handle the fabric carefully, it will last a very long time, especially in cases where synthetic fibers were used for its manufacture.
Curtains from the veil to the kitchen
It is in the kitchen that the curtains made of this material look most appropriate, because this room is intended for human activity, which means that the sun's rays penetrating through the fabric cannot interfere with it.
As for the color scheme, White holds the leading position - this is a classic that cannot be bored. However, a beautiful design can turn out if you take a fabric of other shades or combine two colors - contrasting or differing by one or two tones. Look great, for example, light green, green and emerald or lemon, chartreuse and mustard.
A combination of several shades refers to the latest interior decor. It is not necessary to create complex designer curtains, the following idea is very popular: to sketch, layering, cross, or simply place cuts of different colors next to the cornice.
Thus, different combinations can be obtained from the same tissue sections, simply arranging them differently relative to each other
If your kitchen is located on the sunny side, it will look great light gray shades of curtains, they "damp" too bright rays. If there is so much sun that it makes it difficult to stay indoors, lifting structures on top of the tulle can come to the rescue - Roman or roller blinds, horizontal blinds.
And if you look at the north side, in this case “sunny” tones of the curtains (orange, yellow) will look great in the kitchen, creating the effect of a room flooded with light.
It looks very original ombre effect - transition from the lightest to darkest tone.
However, choosing this option for the kitchen, care should be taken - small rooms of the ombre curtains can visually make less.
Style solutions
In country houses or apartments of a new layout, where the window openings are large, very often a combination of tulle and other types of curtains are used - rolled or Roman.
For the kitchen, it is better to choose a product synthetic material. It is easy to wash, it is not very susceptible to dirt. The window decor is well combined with the rest of the textiles in the kitchen - chair covers, towels, tablecloths, potholders, aprons. This design option provides an easy opportunity to refresh the interior: just replace one set of textiles with another, so that the kitchen takes on a new look.
