Curtains not only protect from light and prying eyes, but also decorate the interior. Of course, it is difficult to do without curtains even in the kitchen. What should be taken into account when choosing kitchen curtains so that they are not only the subject of decor, but also perform all the necessary functions and are safe at the same time?
Kitchen and curtains
In a small kitchen (up to 10 kV. m) you should hang modest curtains – rolled or Roman. You can hang the usual curtains from fabric, but so that they are not quickly polluted, you should limit yourself to the window sill length. But for large kitchens, you can choose almost everything – from curtains with lambrequins to cascading multi -layer curtains.
The pattern on fabric should also be borne in mind: large and bright patterns will look good only in a large kitchen. For small kitchens, a small pattern is preferable, while you can play the direction of the picture: the horizontal ornament expands the room, and the vertical – makes it visually higher.
Window shape
The window shape seems to be the main criterion in the choice of curtains.
– a window with balcony doors is better to decorate with curtains consisting of two parts or asymmetric curtains;
– The arched window can be closed by blinds, or you can decorate with ordinary curtains on straight cornices (in this case, more light will come through the upper arch);
– The asymmetric window window is conveniently decorated with curtains from fabric on flexible cornices or strengthened on the ceiling.
Materials for curtains
For small kitchens, curtains from organza and lace are not at all suitable, especially if the plate is nearby. It is better to purchase specially designed curtains for the kitchen, since the fabrics of such curtains are impregnated with a special composition that reduces their combustibility.

It is also necessary to think about practicality: fabrics should not be diverted during washing, give a shrinkage, etc. D. – After all, these curtains will have to be washed much more often and ironed than curtains for other rooms. The best fabrics for the kitchen are flax, calico, silk, taffeta, satin, chintz.
The colors of the curtains
