Window design

The window, speaking in a boring language of reference books, is "an opening in the wall, intended for light entering the room and ventilation." In order for the window not to remain such a "hole in the wall", it needs an appropriate design. That is, the design of the window corresponding to its shape, size and functional purpose of the room where it is located is being considered.

Modern window design

The modern design of windows is based on years of tradition to decorate windows with curtains, blinds or shutters. Design is designed in such a way that the design of the window does not look random, dissonant with the overall style of the interior in general. As already mentioned, it is necessary to take into account the functional purpose of the room, where the design of the window is supposed. Therefore, consider some of the design options for windows, with this indicator in mind. So:

The design of the window in the living room. As a rule, the living room is the front and the largest room in the house. Therefore, to decorate the window (often - windows) in this room, traditionally use heavy sliding curtains of silk, velvet, brocade or muslin, paired with light curtains of tulle, chiffon or lace. For more effective curtains can be decorated with various decorative elements. The color of curtains is selected in accordance with the color scheme of the room, and for curtains, as a rule, choose light colors.

The design of the window in the bedroom. In this room, the most appropriate curtains and curtains of calm colors (option - with a pattern that echoes the pattern on the bed cover) and more relaxed than in the living room, external design. But the curtains must be sufficiently dense to provide protection against street and light noise. For maximum protection against light, in addition to the window in the bedroom, you can install blinds or shutters.

Window design in the nursery. The most practical option for decorating a window in a nursery is the use for the manufacture of curtains and curtains of light-woven fabrics (plain or with a pattern matched to the child's age and sex in a cheerful color scheme).

Kitchen window design. In this case, perhaps, most of all the various design options for the window - curtains (sliding, lifting), curtains, blinds, roller shutters; different length and location - to the floor, the height of the window sash, to half the window, hung traditionally on the ledge or in the depth of the window, near the frame, on two rods.

Bathroom design with window. Since the bathroom needs a certain intimacy, the window here needs a constant cover, for example, with light curtains. A more modern and practical option is possible - replacing transparent glass with patterned or matte, stained glass, toned, textured, smart glass.

The design of windows depending on their shape and size

The design of windows will largely depend on their physical size and location in the room. For example, for small windows (low), the design with long curtains to the floor is most acceptable - visually they will become "slimmer". This same design option is suitable for a long window.

For windows of complex shapes (for example, bay windows), the ideal design option is the use of roller blinds . Although it is quite acceptable for the traditional version of a pair of curtains curtains, but on a special cornice.

The same type of curtains, as well as horizontal blinds are acceptable for the design of rooms with panoramic windows, all the charm of which lies in the possibility of unification with the surrounding nature.

The type of roller blinds, namely Roman, is appropriate in the design of the corner window. Concerning the design of simply large windows, it is selected according to the general style of decorating the room - classic heavy curtains, light pastel "provanski", modern rope.

By the way, rope curtains , as well as possible, are suitable for the design of windows facing the balcony, as they provide unhindered access to the balcony and at the same time they can not be withdrawn constantly.

For the design of a narrow window, almost any options are acceptable: curtains with "luxuriant" decor elements will give elegance, the blinds will emphasize the correctness of their shape.
