So, the hall should be roomy and, at the same time, comfortable. It should be dominated by a warm, homely atmosphere. And the design of the window space plays an important role in achieving this goal.
When making windows with double curtains, you need to decide what they will be combined with.
It is important that the curtains are combined in color with furniture upholstery and decorative elements. By the way, the color greatly affects the atmosphere of the room. For example, having decorated the interior in red colors, you can cause aggression, and a room with black curtains or walls will plunge visitors into despondency.
The brown scale with all its derivatives is considered the most popular for the living room. Looks calm and noble, has to communicate. The advantage of brown is its harmonious combination with different colors: blue, turquoise, gold, burgundy and others.

Gray shades are recommended to choose especially carefully, because depending on the saturation of the curtains, the interior of the living room will also be perceived.
Gray steel shades look respectable and elegant, and silver embroidered tulle curtains add sophistication.

There are various options for double curtains, for example, here the curtains of different transparency are hung on a two-row cornice like Japanese curtains
A growing number of fans of double-layer curtains. Thanks to this model, an interesting interior is created based on several basic shades.The design has a better functionality, as it allows you to adjust the degree of illumination of the room.
Roman double curtain - these are two ordinary curtains, located one in front of the other.
Pluses double curtains:
When creating a curtain duet, various fabrics can be combined. More often the ensemble is selected according to the degree of transparency: one canvas is more transparent, and the other, on the contrary, dense, not transmitting light. Closer to the window is placed tulle or organza, and on top - a thick canvas. Sometimes they use the opposite combination: first thick fabric, and then light tulle.
Thick canvas is responsible for sun protection.
For double curtains use a double-layer cornice so that each canvas has its own direction and can move freely. There are models in which the layers are joined together and placed on one guide.
The special eaves for double roman shades have separate lifting mechanisms and allow the curtains to be lowered and raised independently of each other.
Double-layer Roman blinds are a modern and very convenient solution for a sleek interior. They look uncomplicated, but this has its own charm. Such two-layer models perfectly complement modern windows and give a special charm.
Light translucent canvas gives the window opening a harmonious appearance.
Another actual version of the double Roman curtains - "day-night." Two canvases, each of which is controlled independently. Dark portiere completely absorbs color, and the second is transparent. The design is very functional, as it allows you to create any degree of illumination of the room.
Interestingly, such portieres are performed not only in black and white. As an option - green Roman curtains "day-night."
This curtain is well suited for the design of the kitchen window
The mechanism is simple: with the help of a cord or chain, one canvas is shifted relative to another, adjusting the illumination of the room. Modern designs are controlled by electric drive.
Double tulle for the living room - another know-how in interior design. Traditionally thin fabric was used as an addition to a thick curtain, and sometimes, if there was no need for complete protection from light, as an independent element. Today you can arrange a window opening with two layers of tulle. Such a model has variations.
The two-layer combination of translucent fabrics is used in a variety of stylistic directions.
For example, aerial monophonic tulle without a pattern is complemented by contrasting textured tulle, creating an interesting design. Despite the fact that both fabrics are transparent, when combined, they are able to slightly shade the room.
Another option. A rather thick steel shade in combination with a white tulle of medium transparency. The design is interesting unusual mount to the eaves.

To make the interior unique, you can use different tulle (with or without a pattern), alternating it with thick curtains. Such an unusual design decision also has a place to be.
Using two tulle of different density, you can adjust the light level in the room
But the most common variant of double tulle looks like this: two canvases in white, only one with a printed pattern, and the other monophonic.
One canvas can be hung across the entire width of the window, and the second can be fixed in the center and decorated with a grab
Of course, tulle, even double, is unlikely to fully protect from sunlight, but such a model will precisely decorate the interior of the living room.
When the decision is made to hang double curtains, the main question is how they will be attached. Such curtains can be hung on a ceiling or wall cornice. The most common are two- or three-layer models so that each row of curtains slides autonomously. This is the most functional option that allows you to adjust the degree of illumination. But if you want, you can use the cornice with one direction. In this case, the canvas must first be attached to the curtain tape. Of great importance is the density and weight of the fabric. Usually either two layers of tulle or other very light webs are attached to the ribbon.
For simultaneous fastening of two webs, it is better to use a wide curtain tape.
It is not necessary to sew the curtains together, the lighter curtain can be fixed with hooks on a tape sewn to a thick curtain
Obviously, the simultaneous fastening allows you to make an unusual design for window decoration. It looks very beautiful. And by freeing both canvases from the holders, or by lowering the roller blind, you can protect the room from excessive light.
For fixing these curtains used ceiling cornice, hidden in a special niche
The photo shows double-sided curtains in a bright combination. And in this case, the lighter fabric stays on top, and the thicker curtain is closer to the window. The canvases are sewn onto the curtain tape and attached to the single hem.
Judging by the name, it can be concluded that such curtains should provide maximum protection from light and, if possible, also from noise. For opacity, use either special blackout cloths or ordinary thick fabric in two layers.
Blackout blackout curtains with a classic pattern
Blackout material was developed in Finland. And this is understandable, because during the white nights you need to somehow escape from the light. The fabric is 100% synthetic and includes three layers: outer white plays the role of a reflector; medium thickest provides protection from light; the third layer performs a decorative function and can be monotonous or have a pattern.
Blackout material from the outside is similar to suede, and from the back side it has a glossy surface
Today, blackout is the most reliable remedy for excess light. In the interior light-proof fabric looks stylish and elegant. You can use it in different style solutions.
Double-sided curtains are made of several layers of fabric (two or more) and have lining fabric as additional protection from light. By the way, you can do such curtains with your own hands, since the design consists of rectangular canvases, without any additions.
Blackout is a very durable and wear-resistant material, but its cost is high.
In this case, the functionality of the structure is ensured by a roller curtain of dense material. Lowering it first, and then connecting the curtains, you can achieve full opacity.
Night curtains come in a variety of colors, plain or ornamented
Night drapes can be light shades. In this case, the density and texture of the fabric is of greater importance.
The perfect solution for the interior of the living room, double-layer curtains in sober colors. One layer - monophonic, the second - with a print. The weightless tulle complements the design.
Both curtains are fixed on one eaves and fixed in the open position with the help of grabs.
A bright solution for a non-trivial interior is a combination of red with yellow or gold. The upper layer is slightly smaller than the main one and is tied in a regular knot. In combination with golden patterned tulle, an exquisite composition is obtained.
