Fashionable ways to use tulle

The classic use of tulle fabrics involves combining their airy aesthetics with the beauty of thicker curtains. But in modern window design this is no longer necessary. Interior decorators are offering new ways to decorate windows in living rooms - without thick curtains, only using veil, organza or muslin:

Which tulle fabric to choose?

While exploring the possibilities of effectively decorating windows in the living room, it is worth getting acquainted with the types of airy materials that are now at the peak of relevance:

In this article we will look at many ideas and photos of the interior with tulle on the window, which will inspire you to create your own designer window decoration.

Textiles serve to create a complete image of the room, where tulle plays an important role. The drapery, color and length make the interior look different even though the furniture and wall color remain the same.

Features of window design with tulle

Correctly chosen tulle will become a special accent of the interior or a neutral background for decorative items. It is distinguished by its transparency, smooth or openwork texture in neutral or bright colors.

Tulle simultaneously protects the room from sun rays and lets them through, simultaneously dispersing them, which brings an airy and cozy atmosphere to the interior. Lightweight fabric drapes well and holds its desired shape.

The photo shows an example of a bedroom where there is no cornice and the curtain falls from the niche. This option is suitable for a small room with a wide window.

Rules for choosing tulle:

1. Tulle and curtains in the interior should be contrasting or complement each other, differing in shades. If there is a pattern on the curtains, then the tulle should repeat it, or remain neutral;
2. It should be selected to match the style and color of the interior, taking into account whether the emphasis will be on the window, or whether it will become a background for other interior items;
3. If there is no connection to a specific interior style, then a safe choice would be tulle in neutral beige and white shades without a prominent pattern;
4. When sewing individually, you need to take into account the peculiarities of the fabric, its shrinkage during the sewing process and then washing; it is best to select curtains from a photo;
5. When choosing natural tulle, you should remember that fabric with the addition of polyester wrinkles less. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the material is impregnated with a special antistatic and dirt-repellent agent, especially if the textiles will be used in the kitchen.

Types of tulle

Tulle adds spaciousness to a small space, masks an uneven window opening, and creates a play of rays and light. Textile production offers a large selection of tulle textures, which can be divided into smooth, openwork and mesh.

If you are opposed to any changes, it is quite possible that modern ideas will force you to change your mind. Those who know the secret of regular updates of the situation will be incredibly happy to get acquainted with the decisions that will be relevant for the next year.

How to do this without much effort and expense? We offer a simple solution - just change the curtains! This element cannot be called a trifle, but compared to rearranging or repairing, you will agree that it is a less radical method.

But let's first figure out what criteria should be used when choosing tulle and whether there are cases when light curtains will not meet your needs.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let's start with the disadvantage of this fabric, because there is only one. The fact is that even thick tulle will not give the room 100% darkness. Therefore, if you are hypersensitive to light and sleep only in complete darkness, you should think about combined curtain options.

In other situations, tulle is the most popular option, which is suitable:

• every style direction - from classics to super-fashionable trends;
• rooms with any subject content and amount of decor;
• both spacious and small rooms;
• windows of various heights and widths.

And everything written will be confirmed by these photos of examples of tulle in the bedroom interior:

And you don't have to worry about the material being translucent. The fabric called “tulle” was invented precisely because the French monarch wanted to observe everything that was happening without being noticed.

However, if in doubt, use two types of tulle to decorate the window - this is now fashionable, or complement light curtains with non-transparent curtains.

But there is one caveat - long thick curtains are less versatile. For example, it is believed that they are not suitable for low rooms, because... tend to burden the interior. Tulle, in turn, will unobtrusively add lightness and airiness to a room of any size.

Its obvious and undeniable advantages include a variety of colors, textures, cuts, shapes, pictures, images, etc. However, we have not yet reached the design of curtains and accessories, which expand such an assortment to infinity.

Let's take a closer look at several of the most popular types of tulle.

Long

Translucent floor-length curtains are presented as one continuous sheet or consist of two halves. However, windows are often decorated with a large number of curtains - for example, three or four narrow canvases.

This fashionable technique is very practical, because it provides easy access to the window that you probably open sometimes. And curtains of different shades will also help create a single color ensemble, for example, as in these photos.

The shape of the curtains resembles a rectangle, square, semicircle and triangle. Two or three of these types make very original combinations. Asymmetrical tulle is now especially relevant and convenient for decorating rooms with a balcony door.

Important: when choosing curtains, keep in mind that complex voluminous patterns on curtains do not look best in rooms with a large number of objects and decor.

Tulle can be plain, with patterns, ornaments, three-dimensional patterns or photo printing. The color of the curtains usually harmonizes with the walls, floor, bedspread, pillows, upholstery, lampshades and other interior items. With such a huge selection of curtains, you can easily choose a plain tulle that matches your interior.

But there is more two ways to create color harmony– curtains with an ornament (pattern) and accessories, a section about which awaits you ahead. Patterns are often located only at the bottom of the tulle, which can be wavy, angular, fringed, frilled, etc.

If we talk about curtains with photo printing, many designers claim that they will remain a thing of the past. But why not admire a forest landscape or a waterfall, especially if the rest of the furnishings are not full of different colors. Another achievement of civilization - luminous curtains - an excellent window decoration on the eve of the holidays.

Image on curtains It is often duplicated on other home textiles in the same, as well as enlarged or reduced form. Small splashes of color and raised patterns on a translucent background can simply match the overall tone or individual bedroom items, as in these photos.

However, if you want, complement the tulle with candles, cute night lights, and other little things - the main thing is that you like it.

Trendy colors

According to many designers, the most fashionable shades this year will be all shades:

• green;
• gray;
• lilac;
• chocolate;
• turquoise;
• blue;
• purple;
• yellow;
• pink.

It should be noted that in the world of popular colors, two main modern trends have wonderfully combined - naturalness and unusualness. It turns out that color must certainly be found in nature and surprise.

And often, after viewing the next supernew selection with beautiful tulle, the same conclusion arises: the more fashionable the color, the harder it is to name it unambiguously. Gray-green, blue-beige, pink-gray, somewhere between orange and brown - these are the simplest descriptions.

As for rich bright red, flashy orange, etc., which are quite common in modern interiors. These colors, beloved by designers, are not best choice for the bedroom, according to psychologists. Due to their tonic effect, such colors are relevant for other rooms, but in the bedroom they should be present as an acceptable minimum.

But, if insomnia is not a threat, and you can’t imagine a bedroom without passionate and sensual colors, act at your own discretion. There are also no strict rules according to which you must definitely opt for plain curtains.

Often in modern interiors there are curtains consisting of two or even four stripes of different colors. For example, the white top smoothly turns into a blue middle, and that, in turn, into a purple bottom. However, blurring of boundaries and transitions is not necessary; there are also clear stripes - vertical, horizontal and oblique.

Stripes are becoming fashionable again, but they are not without new ideas. For example, some types of tulle curtains present one color when unfolded, and another color when pulled back.

Short models

Along with traditional long curtains, tulle up to the window sill is very popular today. Short curtains are most appropriate in cases where there is furniture, a heating radiator, or, for example, children's toys laid out under the window sill. By the way, if the window is filled with home flowers, in this case access to them becomes much easier.

Quite often, short tulle is used to decorate a bedroom with a balcony, combined with long curtains of the same or a different color, as in these photos.

The design of curtains directly depends on how regularly you need unobstructed access to the balcony. Otherwise, beautiful, but impractical tulle will quickly become unusable - it can be easily pulled by a door, a handle, or simply accidentally stepped on the edge of the canvas. Oblique tulle covering half the window and part of the door is another acceptable option for such a case.

Both long and short types of tulle look great with a lambrequin.

Lambrequins

In a short time, these decorative elements have already managed not only to return to fashion, but to become its latest squeak. In addition, lambrequins continue to be replenished with new varieties. Soft models, characterized by pleasant folds, will, if necessary, complement the color scheme of the room and give it romance or solemnity - as you wish.

Swags, fringes, molds and jabots - all these lovely details with elegant folds once adorned royal canopies. Today they fit perfectly into classic interiors.

Modernized ones also appeared - rigid lambrequins, characteristic of a more ascetic environment. They are a rectangular or figured strip of material covering the cornice.

But the most unique variety is openwork tulle. It looks, of course, stunning, and is combined, like other types, with all types of tulle. However, judge for yourself by looking at the photo.

Accessories

In addition to the patterns and designs decorating the curtains, there are many additional details that can transform even the most inconspicuous canvas.

We'll start with the eyelets. They can also be called one of the ways to attach curtains.

These are round, square, shaped, wooden or plastic “rings” through which the cornice crossbar passes. They are attached to the so-called grommet tape - a braid that does not necessarily match the color of the curtains.

The tulle on the eyelets is easy to move apart and close. Moreover, by securing these elements at a certain distance, you provide greater or lesser depth of the folds. The only drawback of the eyelets is that when the curtains are pulled apart, they make a peculiar ringing sound. Otherwise, it’s a very convenient detail. Examples are waiting for you in the photo.

In order to beautifully tie and secure the curtains in the desired position, tiebacks and magnets are used. Ropes, ribbons, necklaces made of various beads - all of these can be used to tie tulle at any level above the window sill. This way you will create graceful folds and fix the canvas in the best possible way.

Magnets perform almost the same role, but, unlike pick-ups, they are installed completely unnoticed. Only the result will be visible - a picturesque drapery. But if you want, the magnet will act as a miniature and graceful decoration.

Other interesting accessories - braid, fringe, frills, kugels - also have the ability to transform. They will play the role of finishing touches in the color scheme of the bedroom. It is also important that you can easily decorate any type of tulle with such details, thereby ensuring an extraordinary window decoration.

Perhaps this is where our review comes to an end. When choosing tulle for the bedroom, take into account modern ideas, current colors and designer advice. But do not forget about personal interests and preferences. Beauty and harmony to you! Beauty and harmony to you!
