To make the living room interior correspond to the spirit of the times, it is enough to buy new curtains. In this article we will look at everything fashion news 2018 in the design of modern curtains for the living room and hall, and we will also present many visual photos with examples.
Curtains and tulle
Tulle and curtains have long remained the most popular tandem for decorating window openings in living rooms and halls.
In 2017, it is fashionable to hang two-color curtains. In fact, such curtains are simply sewn from fabric of two different colors. Due to this method of sewing, it seems that some curtains are layered on top of others. It looks beautiful and stylish.
The photo shows options for modern two-color curtains for the living room and hall.
Today it is fashionable to combine any type of curtain with lambrequins. Let's look at some modern ideas:
- A lush classic lambrequin will give the appearance of curtains and curtains gloss and status.
- A lambrequin in the form of a crossover will soften and make the strict straight lines of Roman curtains and horizontal blinds less official.
- A bandeau in the form of an elongated narrow rectangle will emphasize the smooth soft shapes of Austrian and French curtains.
- An openwork lambrequin with a fancy ornament in combination with vertical fabric blinds will create the effect of perspective and depth of space outside the window.
For each type of curtain you can find your own lambrequin model. Together they will help create a unique and one-of-a-kind interior.
Roman blinds
- a type of lifting curtains. They have a simple rectangular shape; when assembled, they form smooth horizontal folds, which are obtained thanks to plastic and wooden slats sewn to their underside.
The photo shows an example of how you can combine Roman blinds and classic curtains so that they look beautiful in a modern interior.
Designers love Roman blinds for their versatility. They can be sewn from fabric of any texture and color. This means that Roman blinds can be used both as drapes and as curtains, and you can find a suitable model for every situation.
Even if it does not fit very harmoniously into the interior, it can always be combined with another model of window curtains.
For a classic living room, representative dense fabrics such as velvet, jacquard, brocade, and tapestry are usually chosen. Roman curtains made from them are combined with curtains made of tulle, veil, light silk or organza.
For a living room in a minimalist style, designers recommend Roman blinds made of plain or vertically striped fabric. The alternation of dark and light stripes looks especially impressive on wide windows.
For a living room in Japanese or ecological styles great solution Roman blinds made of bamboo or straw can become. And to soften their strict forms, they can be complemented with light colorless tulle suspended from the ceiling string cornice.
Interiors in rustic style, such as English shabby chic, French Provence and American country will decorate Roman curtains with a floral print or checkered linen or thick cotton. True, this season small prints are not welcome, so it is better to choose larger flowers and plaids. Due to the fact that the folds on Roman curtain models are even and sparse, they do not distort the design.
For a small living room with little daylight, Roman blinds made of light, light-colored fabric are best suited. They will not visually burden a small room and will not attract unnecessary attention. If you complement such light curtains with transparent curtains, the room will look even more fresh and airy.
Thus, you can find “your own” Roman blinds for any interior. But since their shape remains unchanged, you won’t be able to experiment with it. Therefore, you can harmoniously fit them into the decor only by choosing models from fabrics of different textures and colors.
Austrian curtains
The only model of lifting curtains with a romantic character, emphasized by graceful draperies. Exception - French awnings. But still, their classic version implies static, and they began to be equipped with lifting controls only recently.
“Austrians” are draped only in the lower part of the canvases, so the folds on them do not look lush and pompous. This season, they are sewn mainly from soft natural fabrics in delicate colors with floral prints: thin linen, chintz, tulle, organza in delicate pastel colors and decorated with bows, braid, lace, curtain pins in the form of flowers and butterflies.
Austrian models can also be sewn from a delicate veil or organza and combined with classic long curtains. And can be used as main curtains.
It is impossible to say unequivocally that Austrian curtains are suitable for any interior. Their naive "Peisan" character fits best with classic rustic styles:
- For English shabby chic, “Austrian” ones made of plain cotton or silk in whitish pastel shades are suitable.
- For French Provence It is better to sew them from thick cotton or linen with delicate pink or blue flowers.
- For Austrian curtains in a room decorated in American country style, choose satin or cotton with small checks or stripes.
The shading that such fabrics create is usually sufficient for living rooms. Therefore, it is possible, but not necessary, to combine curtains made from them with other curtains.
Japanese fabric panels
― sliding curtains, consisting of rectangular, rigidly stretched fabric sheets. Outwardly, they resemble wardrobe doors and move in a horizontal plane according to the same principle. The tension of the canvases is ensured by a weight bar threaded through the drawstring in their lower part.
Despite the ascetic appearance Japanese curtains can create a no less cozy and comfortable atmosphere in the living room than curtains with lush draperies. Moreover, their length can be either up to the window sill or to the floor. The latter option is preferable for the living room and hall.
The light-protective properties of Japanese curtains depend on their density. At the same time, you can choose any fabric for them: natural, synthetic, thick, transparent, colored, plain, with photo printing. The choice depends on what role you assign to them in the interior. Does your room need complete shading or does it require curtains that only slightly soften the daylight? Will they be its main focus or are they intended to create a backdrop for the decor?
Fashion trends The seasons for Japanese curtains in the hall and living room are as follows:
- A combination of fabrics of different densities on one cornice, for example, translucent and dense silk. In this case, dense panels play the role of curtains, and translucent curtains.
- If the size of the window allows, then up to 10 canvases of different colors and textures can be placed in front of it. By moving them along the cornice, arranging them in a row, one after another or overlapping, you can endlessly play with light, shadow and color.
- One of the latest fashion trends is photo curtains. Since Japanese models are shaped like canvas stretched over a frame, they are ideal for photo printing. You can put any image on them and create a unique, individual interior in your living room.
When decorating a living room or hall with Japanese curtains, do not forget that they are best suited for minimalist interiors, such as Japanese, hi-tech, minimalism, modern classics. In order to harmoniously fit laconic fabric panels into lush and romantic interiors, they will have to be combined with curtains, tulle or muslin.
Roller blinds
Recently, modern curtains for the hall have been replenished with another interesting and practical variety - or roller shutters. Such a curtain is a piece of fabric that is wound on a shaft installed in a window opening or directly on the window sashes. In the first case, when lowered, it covers the window completely along with the window sill, and in the second, only the glass.
Such curtains are especially suitable for people who love laconicism in their interiors. Initially, they were used to decorate windows mainly in the kitchen and bathroom, and for other rooms they were considered too simple.

Particularly popular are those that differ from ordinary roller blinds in their ability to dose the natural light entering the room. Day-night curtains are made of two layers of fabric of different textures, consisting of alternating dense and transparent stripes. IN closed position they look like a single canvas, and when open they form gaps and let in the sun's rays.
Kisey or thread curtains
- curtains made of dense rows of threads or ribbons. They are very decorative, flexible, easy to drape, look great as an independent window decoration and can also be easily combined with other types of curtains.
Despite their airy structure, thread curtains are quite capable of creating sufficient shading for rooms that do not need 100% protection from sunlight. Therefore, it is not surprising that designers are increasingly using them when decorating halls and living rooms.
The word muslin hides a huge number of curtains, very different in color and texture, but they can be conditionally divided into two types: simple and with solid decorative elements.

In conclusion, I would like to note that regardless of the model, curtains are an ideal option for experimentation, which creates a special atmosphere in any living room.
Window decoration is the finishing touch in shaping the interior of any room. No one will argue that the design of window decoration will certainly affect the entire image of the room. Fashion does not stand still, it develops in all areas of our lives and window decor is no exception. Modern trends in the design of space as a whole tend towards simplification and democracy. For the design of curtains and other textiles for windows, such trends were not in vain - some designers prefer not to drape window openings at all, providing room maximum number sunlight. But we understand that design techniques are not always compatible with the practical side of life; there are rooms in which it is difficult to do without window drapery. For example, in the bedroom, curtains perform not only a decorative, but also a purely practical role - they prevent the penetration of sunlight in appropriate situations.
But even those designers who suggest using window decoration confirm that in this area we are moving towards minimalism, simplicity and functionality. Window drapery in modern design projects Most often it is represented by simple, monochromatic solutions, without decorative elements and luxuries. Even when decorating classic interiors and in the neoclassical style, we no longer see that triumph of wealth and luxury when draping windows, there is not such a large amount of fringe and tassels, natural fabrics are used, but not “screaming” about their value and the status of the owners of the house.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with a selection of modern design projects for rooms with various functional loads, in which the latest trends in this area of home design were used when draping windows. We hope they will help you choose a practical, stylish and aesthetic option window decorations in your apartment or household.
Modern window drapery - choosing fabric
In order for the final appearance of the room to match your plan, you need to carefully consider not only the design of the curtains, but also provide for such nuances as the choice of fabric for drapery and the model of the cornice. Which fabric should you prefer - natural or artificial? Silk, linen, wool and cotton - natural fabrics are pleasant to the touch, but, as a rule, require a lot of effort when making window decor and caring for them during use. Artificial material is much easier to care for, not to mention the cost of the fabric. Obviously, the more expensive the fabric for curtains and curtains, the higher the likelihood that you will not be able to wash it yourself and will have to use dry cleaning services.
The second question that will need to be resolved when choosing window decor is whether to purchase transparent or thick fabric? Tulle, veil and organza are some of the most popular options for transparent fabrics that transmit light perfectly and look weightless, light and airy. Typically, curtains are made from this material, which are complemented with thick curtains, but in modern design projects you can increasingly find draping window openings only with the help of light fabric.
Also, curtains or even cambric curtains are used independently; they are less transparent and therefore can act in different functional roles. The densest material for sewing curtains is crepe chiffon. Despite its density, the fabric looks light and can also be used for those curtains or curtains that lie on the floor.
The design of curtains and curtains will largely depend on whether the fabric is soft or hard. For example, organza creates voluminous, clear and even “sharp” folds, which can add structure and rigor not only to the window design, but also to the image of the room as a whole. But such curtains look better in spacious rooms; a small room with such window drapery will look ridiculous.
If you want to get a soft and flexible drapery, use a veil that creates light and unobtrusive volume. For the most delicate window look, use chiffon to decorate window openings; it is great for long curtains that gather in soft folds all the way to the floor.
Curtain design - compliance with the stylistic direction of the interior
Obviously, the design of window drapery must correspond to the stylistic decisions made when creating the interior of the room. For a minimalist interior, cambric is more suitable - lightweight, but durable and almost opaque. Luxurious organza gives the room gloss and solemnity. Elegant tulle is perfect for a romantic setting in a girl's room or complements the sensual interior of a parent's bedroom.
The modern style of interior design strives for simplicity and comfort, in which you can make maximum use of natural fabrics and finishing materials. In the living room, bedroom, children's room and even in utilitarian rooms, you can increasingly find the simplest and most laconic solutions for window drapery - roller blinds. As a rule, they are presented in monochromatic versions of natural colors, but there are also room designs that use printed fabric for window decoration.
Roller blinds and Roman blinds are good for laconic solutions - there is no need to decorate them with ruffles or fringes. Their main purpose in the interior is to fulfill their direct tasks, which means to protect the room from sunlight in cases where this is necessary.
Curtains with lambrequins are gradually losing their excessive decor and becoming examples of laconic and simple solutions. With their help, you can not only create original design window decor, but also to hide possible flaws in the decoration of the space near the window openings.
Screen curtains, or they are also called Japanese, are great for decorating large panoramic windows and glass sliding doors. On the one hand, such decor does not prevent sunlight from entering the room, on the other hand, you completely protect the intimacy of the room even when the light is on.
Curtains with eyelets still haunt the minds of modern designers. Their use is becoming less popular, but is still seen in modern design projects for bedrooms and living rooms. Steel or plastic rings integrated into the fabric when sewing drapery for a window ensure convenient and unhindered movement of the fabric along the cornice.
Window drapery color palette
Most homeowners know that large patterns on curtains are only suitable for spacious rooms; for small rooms it is better to opt for a small print. Vertical stripes on the fabric will make your window visually higher, and therefore visually increase the height of the ceilings, while a horizontal strip will act wider. If the room uses wallpaper with a print, then it is better to choose a plain option for curtains. Curtains and patterned curtains will look better in a room with plain walls and upholstery. upholstered furniture.
When choosing the color of curtains, designers recommend using combinatorics with one of the interior elements - for example, in the living room it could be the upholstery of a chair or the fabric of covers on decorative sofa cushions. You can use shades of different intensity, but of the same color.
In most modern design projects, you can find the use of exclusively white shades to create voile or chiffon drapery for windows. But children's rooms and bedrooms for teenagers can be a striking exception. This is where the use of light yellow would be appropriate. Turquoise or pistachio color translucent tulle
Curtains with colorful, bright colors will look harmonious in black and white interior premises, so popular these days. If the room was used glossy facades furniture, then for curtains it is better to choose fabric with a matte surface.
Examples of window design in various rooms
In addition to the fact that rooms with different functional purposes use different design ideas When decorating, these rooms require a different approach in terms of choosing drapery for windows. In the living room of a private house, the windows of which overlook backyard there may be no curtains at all, but in the bedroom of a dwelling located in apartment building, curtains and blackout curtains are a must.
Living room
Gray color is becoming one of the most popular design options for modern living rooms. This is due to the fact that shades of this color can bring many different moods into the interior, depending on the choice of intensity - from sophisticated luxury to neutral tranquility. Blackout curtains dark gray complete with a snow-white veil - an ideal option for homeowners who do not want to take risks and prefer a calm, traditional setting.
For an absolutely bright living room with plain upholstery of upholstered furniture, you can use curtains with a large pattern, let them become the accent of the interior, the center of attraction of all eyes. If it turns out that the TV in the living room is located opposite the window, then in addition to choosing the color and pattern, you will need to worry about purchasing very thick fabric, otherwise the light from the window will leave glare on the home theater screen.
For a living room decorated with loft style elements, it is better to leave the windows undraped or use the simplest fabric option in a neutral color. Light, barely noticeable curtains or laconic roller blinds will look appropriate.
Bedroom
Thick roller blinds are ideal for a small bedroom with one window. You will be able to prevent sunlight from entering the room, but at the same time maintain the rigor and laconicism of the modern interior of the room for sleeping and relaxing.
A frequent design technique when decorating a bedroom with textiles is the choice of the same color, and sometimes the same fabric, for draping the windows and the bed. This color and texture combination helps create a more harmonious and balanced atmosphere in the room for sleeping and relaxing.
If there may be no curtains in the bedroom at all, then for the curtains you need to choose a dense fabric that does not allow sunlight to pass through. You may need to sleep in daytime when the sun's rays literally flood the bedroom space with light, it is better to be able to resist this with the help of thick curtains.
Heavy velvet or velor curtains in the bedroom will look appropriate and harmonious if the upholstery soft headboard The sleeping place is made of the same material.
A bedroom with a bay window is a difficult option for window decoration. In this case, you can use a combination of two curtain options and different colors. In the example that you will see below, the issue of draping the seating area in the bay window was resolved by decorating the windows with Roman blinds, and zoning the boudoir segment by decorating printed curtains in a darker color scheme.
Another example original combination window drapes in a semicircular bedroom - the use of translucent screen curtains and curtains with soft and light folds.
Children's room or teenager's bedroom
A room in which we can give free rein to our imagination and use bright color or a colorful print – a room for a teenager or a child’s room. Children need much more than adults bright accents. But even in the nursery it is better not to deviate from classical rule room decoration - “plain walls and curtains with a pattern and vice versa.” The curtains, which use two primary colors for wall decoration in the nursery, look original, but at the same time harmonious.
Curtains with a floral print would only look appropriate in a romantic setting in a girl’s bedroom. Such premises have their own view of trends modern design and one’s own priorities become higher than fashion trends. Roses and cupids that have found shelter on the curtains are best duplicated in textile design sleeping place or decorating additional furniture to create a more harmonious interior.
Dining room
The choice of drapery for the dining room windows largely depends on the room in which it is located - whether there is glass doors to go out to the backyard, regular windows in the room or panoramic, whether the dining area is connected to other functional segments of the home, such as the kitchen or living room.
Clear and structural folds of organza curtains will color the dining area, made with elements of classical style. In a modern interior, such window decor can become an original contrast. concrete walls or brickwork. Usually, the contrast of stylistic solutions produces interesting, non-trivial interiors of rooms with different functional contents.
Lace curtains or tulle with an ornate snow-white pattern, embroidery, modern spaces It is not used often, but it is ideal for creating a romantic atmosphere.
Bathroom
In typical apartments, utilitarian rooms, as a rule, are deprived of a source of natural light, but private houses can boast of large and bright bathrooms, which may have more than one window. When planning the drapery of window openings in the bathroom, it is important to take into account the features of this room - high humidity and temperature changes. In many ways, the choice of material for curtains will depend on whether the room has a forced ventilation system. For window decoration, it is better to choose synthetic fabrics, which you can easily wash yourself and often.
