The design of the bedrooms can be very diverse. And in it the role of curtains, curtains is very great. Special attention is paid to the criteria for choosing Roman curtains, without knowledge of which it is impossible to make the right decision.
Features
The Roman curtain looks unusual in appearance and sometimes even creates a charming impression. It looks better than traditional options, such as:
- jalousie;
- elongated curtains;
- shortened transparent curtains.
Curtains of the "Roman" sample are sewn from soft fabric. They are simple in structure and elegant. When such a product is folded, it feels like a flat panel, and when raised, folds appear, like a harmonica or button accordion. Thanks to the stiffeners, even folds appear in the raised state. Roman curtains are mounted on a special ledge, where there is a lifting mechanism.
Subspecies
The classic look of Roman curtains is most popular. It looks like a straight canvas, inside of which there are plastic trims. It is they who are responsible for the formation of even folds on the curtain. You can use these products in any bedroom, regardless of its design. Cascading curtains have the same cut as the classic ones, but there is an important difference here - the folds seem to fall on each other.
There is also a frameless option. These are also direct panels. However, they do not have hard edges. To lift, use a special cord threaded inward. A frameless curtain can be mounted on an ordinary cornice, and it looks less strict.
When are you needed?
In some cases, a long canvas is simply inappropriate due to the features of the window or the likely visual overload of the room. There are several situations where Roman curtains are very valuable in the interior of a bedroom.One of them is the presence of several windows. If you arrange all the openings the same way, an unnecessarily boring look can be created. It is allowed to use both the same fabric as on ordinary curtains, and similar only in color.
The Roman curtain will help in the case when they put at the window:
- sofa;
- bed;
- table;
- armchair.
This solution will allow you to actively use the windowsill. A well-thought-out lifting device ensures precise height adjustment of the curtain itself. It will be possible to easily change the degree of illumination of a room even on the sunniest day. There is another case where the use of Roman curtains in the bedroom is justified. This type of curtain improves, ennobles the appearance of disproportionately large windows.
Unlike ordinary curtains, There is no risk of a visual reduction in the bedroom. And the dust in the Roman curtains is collected much less than in conventional analogues. Sometimes they are also hung on the balcony door, since this saves a lot of space, a feeling of freedom appears, the room visually becomes more spacious. The Roman curtain will be appropriate in the bedrooms, all of whose windows face the sunny side. In this case, use the most dense tissue that can only be found.
How to choose?
Such wide design possibilities are achieved only with careful, scrupulous selection of a particular product. The main principle of the formation of the interior was and remains correspondence of curtains to the general coloring of the room. This does not mean that you can choose only the same colors and shades. But visual harmony with furniture or wallpaper must be maintained, and ideally with one and the other at the same time. But what is left to the discretion of the homeowners themselves is the ability to combine Roman curtains with ordinary curtains.
This decision is approved by high-end designers. Although it is only recommended, giving up on it for the sake of personal initiative is definitely not worth it. Combining an elegant transparent tulle with compacted curtains of the Roman sample, it is possible:
- make the composition in the bedroom even more charming;
- create a gentle, relaxed atmosphere;
- dilute the excessive severity of the classic antique curtains;
- increase the dimming of the room if the sun shines too brightly.
As for the colors, out of competition has always been and will be white. A light Roman curtain will harmoniously enter any minimalist interior. A juicy contrasting edging can be launched along the perimeter of the canvas. It focuses on sharp corners and makes the situation a little stricter, if necessary. When the bedroom is decorated in plain light colors, curtains with:
- flower images;
- pictures of birds;
- abstract graphics;
- geometric ornament.
Consumers can use both traditional curtain fabrics, and the fabric impregnated with special structures. Impregnations reliably protect the Roman curtain from premature burnout.
Important: designers believe that the best aesthetic solution in most cases would be Roman curtains made of fabric with a complex weave.
As for the tissues themselves, they most often use:
- taffeta;
- dense varieties of wool;
- burlap;
- other linen and cotton fabrics of high density;
- muslin;
- organza;
- the basis of bamboo and other varieties of wood.
Note: some Roman curtains can perform the function of a regular tulle. In this case, they should be made of light transparent or translucent material. Dense curtains create, of course, from fabrics impervious to light. These grades of matter are designated blackout in the trade classification.
Checking the permeability of matter for light is very simple - you need to take the desired piece and look through it at the window.
If a roman blind is crawling into a children's bedroom, special attention must be paid to the safety of the structure. She must thoroughly gain a foothold and rise to a level inaccessible to children. As for the control options, the experts have long considered the automatic method to be the most practical (according to the signals from the remote control). More simple mechanisms can save a little when buying, but less convenient at home.
A very serious requirement is the conformity of the Roman curtains to the style of the surrounding space. So, in a classic room, expensive materials decorated with drawings from:
- plant subjects;
- all kinds of monograms;
- crowns and coats of arms;
- other heraldic symbols;
- bouquets of flowers.
Important: the classic implies the active use of braid and fringe. Only in isolated cases can they be abandoned. What exactly are these cases, professional designers know.
When designing an interior yourself, it is better not to avoid a time-tested solution. A different approach is appropriate in country-style bedrooms - they need translucent light materials painted in green, rich terracotta or wine tones.
Exotic room will be decorated with curtains made of bright fabrics. Ornament can be varied. However, it must necessarily be traced to the motives of the Asian and African nature. In environmental and ethnic styles, there is another indispensable requirement - the strict naturalness of all fabrics. The standard here are curtains on a wooden basis or on the basis of wicker matting.
If this option seems overly rude, you can take a closer look at:
- rough canvas;
- textured fabric;
- natural wool.
In a hi-tech style bedroom, laconic colors from a not too diverse palette will be most appropriate. Unconditional preference should be given to white, gray, black and brown paints.
Important: You can combine a maximum of two colors, one of which should clearly dominate.
Fusion style bedroom, on the contrary, is advised to decorate the curtains of the original look. Unpredictable color combinations and unusual geometric decorations are even welcome.
