If handmade curtains decorate the window in the kitchen or in the living room, this does not mean that the hostess did not have enough money to buy tulle or curtains. This indicates a great taste and a desire to make a unique interior of its kind. And napkins and lampshade, suitable for style, will complement the design decision.
To fit such beauty into the interior of a modern home, certain design skills will be required.
Important! Hand-made curtains are a “capricious” element and need to be correctly positioned on the window and assembled with the rest of the interior. Otherwise, instead of a stylish room you can get the design of "Grandma's hut."
The main difference between knitted curtains is that they do not gather with folds, do not form a “wave” in the upper part. Such a curtain should be attached almost to the tension, so that the air pattern can be clearly seen. If the curtain hang freely, the pattern will be skewed, and this will not decorate the interior.
Hand-knotted curtain is important to hang.
Greater web density is another feature. Usually knitted curtains have a length to the middle of the window or to the window sill. Long blades can be very heavy and difficult to operate. Therefore, more often hand-made curtains are used for the kitchen or a private balcony.
A short curtain will come in handy for the kitchen window, and if desired, it can be supplemented with ordinary long curtains
Note! Curtains tied with cotton threads fade in the sun and attract dust. Viscose curtains are deformed.
The most common technique for creating curtains is knitting sirloin. Even the beginning master will cope with such task. The only caveat: the curtains in this design fit only in the rustic style of the interior. Often they are used for a country house or cottage.

By the way, the curtains made on the knitting machine, as a rule, are of higher quality than the knitted ones.
If the curtains were knitted, then regardless of the color and composition of the threads, it is better to take them to dry cleaning and order a dry processing of the product.
Knitted curtains will decorate any room. But it so happened that they are more often used to design the kitchen.
