First, choose the fabric. A dense fabric texture for curtains is suitable for living room windows that are located on the first floor or in a house that is too close to the neighboring one. For other cases, you can choose fabric according to your preference, and light fabrics will look harmonious in a small living room. Curtains matched to the texture and color of the upholstery can create coziness, forming a unified look for the living room.
When choosing between natural and synthetic fabrics, it is preferable to focus on synthetic ones. First, they require no special care, do not fade in the sun, and last longer. As for color selection, you can opt for a shade matching the wallpaper, but with the next renovation, the wallpaper will also need to be changed.
Curtains can be either contrasting with the furniture or harmonizing with the color of the sofa or armchairs. Let's consider the main colors for classic curtains offered on its website http://artblinds.ru/articles/shtory/klassicheskie-shtory/ by the specialized company ArtBlinds.
Yellow curtains are suitable for a small living room – you need to choose the right fabric texture, and yellow will help create an atmosphere of lightness and sunny mood. Red is not suitable for a small living room, but shades of red create a romantic atmosphere. Blue and light blue curtains will make the room spacious and bright, creating depth, and will serve as a good tone for the entire decor. The most common color for living room curtains is beige or sand.
But if you still chose a bright color for the curtains, it is worth creating bright accents of the same color in other details – for example, cushions on the sofa. In small living rooms, it is better not to use red or purple curtains, as they visually bring the window closer.
For curtain decoration, lambrequin is often used, which will give the room a festive look. If the living room is modern, plain curtains in a neutral color will work. It is also worth paying attention to fashion trends – checkered curtains or Roman shades.
It is best to order curtains made to measure. A designer can not only correctly select the style of curtains but also their size, corresponding to your living room. If you decide to do this yourself, when choosing curtains you should focus on the style of the living room – they should complement the room's design, encourage communication, be practical, and create comfort and an atmosphere of coziness.
