It is impossible to imagine a cozy room without a beautifully designed window. A beautiful window - it's well-chosen curtains, tulle, blinds or curtains. Among all this variety Austrian curtains are quickly gaining popularity because of their extraordinary beauty and functionality.
Austrian curtains in the interior
Austrian curtains are created on the basis of French (with magnificent theatrical folds) and Roman (with a convenient lifting mechanism).
Austrian curtains will be the decoration of any room in your house. But most stylishly and luxuriously they look, of course, in the hall and bedroom. The most suitable interior design styles for Austrian curtains are: Empire (also royal), Egyptian (style, which is considered the progenitor of the European), classicism (European style 18-19 centuries).
These curtains look best on large windows in spacious rooms. Under suitable lighting, Austrian curtains will shine with all their beauty, especially if the material from which they are made: silk, satin, openwork, organza, guipure and other expensive beautiful fabrics, with a shiny surface. If you are sewing a curtain made of solid and rigid material, the folds on such curtains will be wide and deep. Better still use lighter fabrics, because Austrian curtains perform a function, mostly decorative (decorate and emphasize the style of the house), and not protect from the sun.
When the curtains are straightened, they look usually and evenly, when you lightly lift them, then they fold down into curvaceous folds. These folds are tightened with heavy cords, decorated with brushes. In order for beautiful folds to cover the entire surface of the window, you should choose curtains twice as long, compared with the height of the window, which is necessary for flat curtains.
For Austrian curtains, you need to choose a special kind of cornice, preferably wooden: dark or light (depending on the shade of fabric curtains). The shape of the cornice: round, arched, baguette, profile - depends on the style of the interior of the room. For example, the interior in the style of classicism is more suitable baguette molds cornice .
Austrian lift curtains are attached to a special cornice, and they are given a special shape by special cords passing through the curtain fabric. The curtains can be controlled using a mechanism reminiscent of the mechanism of the blinds. No need to touch them with your hands, so the curtains will stay clean longer.
Blinds are erased in a special bag, at low temperature and in a delicate washing mode. After that, they must be dried, patted and hung back on the cornice.
