Double curtains for the bedroom: what are and how to choose?

Curtains make the design of any room complete and significantly decorate the space. The situation in the bedroom directly affects a healthy sleep and, accordingly, the well-being of a person. For this reason, the choice of curtains in the bedroom should be given special attention.

The modern fashion trend in the design of windows are double curtains, which perform several functions:

• decorate the room;
• complement the decor;
• emphasize the overall style;
• make the desired emphasis;
• add coziness;
• give completeness to design;
• allow you to adjust the lighting.

These curtains consist of two wide canvases that are placed one on top of the other. As an addition, lambrequins, bows, garters or brushes can be used.

After all, here you can not only combine different shades, but also fabrics of different density and texture.

But when choosing, it is worth taking into account the style of decoration of the room and decor elements, as well as the color scheme of the room. The merging of tones should be excluded, such a room will look blurry and faded. In the presence of the main beige color, curtains of brown tones are perfect. Very often, the bedroom is decorated in calm blue shades, in which case it is better to choose the curtains in indigo color.

A thick curtain with a light, transparent tulle is perfect for a bedroom window. Now, many designers for this purpose use curtains from a fabric such as blackout. It consists of three layers, each of which performs a specific function:

• external - beats off the sun's rays;
• central - protects from outside heat;
• back - plays a decorative role.

Often, double curtains with lambrequins are used in bedrooms, where grommets are used as fasteners. The room looks harmonious if the texture of curtains in it is combined with other textile products: upholstery, bedspreads or tablecloth.

You can also play in contrast with the main range of the interior and create spectacular combinations:

• golden and azure;
• lilac and light green;
• cornflower blue and light pink;
• straw and purple.

For double curtains, a combination of lilac-violet or brownish-green shades is well suited. The classic black and white duet looks just as beautiful, and chocolate with light brown look no less spectacular.

Double curtains can be of several types, differing both in design and texture. This variety allows you to choose curtains for various interior styles.
