Curtains have long ceased to be the value of "constant." Artists and designers offer all new design options for window openings. And we are talking not only about unusual designs of curtains, but also about qualitatively new fabrics, a sort of know-how of the textile industry.
Ombre curtains - a new trend in the interior of the home, which can be applied to both modern interior details and the classical style.

Ombre (or degrade) fabric is characterized by a gradual change of color on one canvas. From French "ombre" is translated as "feather". By the way, the same name is the technique of hair coloring, when the curl changes its color along the length. Fabric dyeing technology is more often applied to curtain fabrics, such as organza, chiffon, silk, and only in rare cases to dense materials.
The effect of an ombre or gradient is a gradual smooth transition of color from more saturated to light.
Important! The fabric can be painted in one color with a transition from a more blurred to a brighter shade, or the technology of coloring in different colors is used.
The advantages of such curtains.
The word "ombre" from French is translated literally as a shadow, shaded.
Please note: gradient curtains - ideal for increasing the visual height of the room. To achieve this effect, light shades of the curtains are placed in the upper part, and dark shades are closer to the floor.
Ombre is a smooth change of colors.
It is worth noting that even the simplest model of curtains looks creative due to the ombré effect.
The transition from dark to light or vice versa does not matter.
Fabric manufacturers provide a huge selection of ombre variations: from an almost imperceptible transition from one color to another, to obvious sloppy strokes at the transition boundary. All this allows you to harmoniously combine the ombra, not only with plain canvases, but also with pronounced floral prints.
In addition, there is not only a vertical "overflow" of color, but also horizontal. And this, in turn, increases the number of possible combinations of curtains and curtains.
Multi-color curtains will look stylish and attractive.
The most common option: curtains with ombre effect from light (near the ceiling) to dark (closer to the floor). In this case, a light fragment of almost white color smoothly flows into beige shades, complementing the color palette of the finish.
Pictured ombre curtains in the living room. More saturated color turns into blurred from top to bottom.
Color shades are maintained for a long period, do not fade from direct sunlight.
A very popular option: a curtain gradient with alternating colors horizontally with a repetition of a bright fragment.
In order to ombre effect looked appropriate, follow the simple rules.
Ombre fabrics for curtains are usually thin wool, soft flowing silk, light viscose.
Curtains with a color transition can have a different design. Here are just a few options.
Model for lovers of layering. If you like lambrequins and everything connected with them, ombre curtains do not call for them to be abandoned. Simply choose the right color and enjoy the creative model.
When there is a rhythmic repetition of colors, the fabric looks the most attractive.
Small bows on the hinges also add elegance.
And this option is ideal for those who can not imagine the design of windows without grabs and brushes. Decorative elements have the right to exist, only if they do not “overtighten” all attention to themselves.
Curtains perfectly fit into the interior of the rooms, visually making them more spacious and higher, filling with romance.
In order for the window to be decorated not only stylishly, but also as practical as possible, combine gradient curtains with roller blinds or blinds.
The orange palette on the window facing north will add light and comfort. And if the color of the curtains is duplicated in decorative elements, for example, pillows, paintings or vases, then you can feel the warmth in the room.
The best option when a dark color decorates the lower part of the curtains, stretching the brightening streams to the ceiling.
For the bedroom are ideal "cold" shades. It is thanks to them that sleep will be strong and calm. Turquoise is a great choice. For complete harmony of the interior, add turquoise “notes”. As an option, a pillow of the same shade or picture is suitable.
The gradual transition from one shade to another looks original against the light areas of the walls of the dwelling.
Gradient fabric is a work of art. The soft “flowing over” of color creates an amazing atmosphere in any room, be it a spacious living room or a small bedroom. Such curtains are suitable for modern style, high-tech, minimalism. Although, of course, it all depends on the brightness and color of curtains.
Alternating alternations are also common.
Tulle gradient does not need to be added in the form of curtains. It looks very self-sufficient and creates a picture of completion. Therefore, if there is no need to "defend" from prying eyes, decorate the window opening only with tulle.
An interesting nuance, when the sun's rays fall on the canvas, it changes color a little and becomes more comfortable indoors.
The transition of two-tone shades can be smooth or with clear contours.
Unusual solution: light curtains and tulle gradient of delicate shades. The color scheme complements each other and is in harmony with the decoration of the walls.

Bright curtains with color transition should not be overloaded with accessories.
The effect of an ombra is not limited only to curtain fabrics or tulle. This is an unusually popular technique that designers around the world are actively exploiting.
Laconic images look much more refined.
For example, the color of the walls. Ombre can be created in almost any room, but best of all, it “takes root” in rooms with high ceilings.In this case, the effect can be created both vertically and horizontally. If your housing is not different royal ceilings, then create a horizontal effect ombre, and closer to the ceiling place the light part.
Visually the room will seem larger.
By the way, you can do it yourself: apply paint on the lower part of the wall (with a roller or a brush), then moisten the upper part with a spray gun and then paint the paint with a large sponge.
The result will surely please you.
The room will be not just cozy and comfortable, but also unique in its kind.
Maybe the option "vice versa" - on top of a dark color, and closer to the floor - almost white.
The bathroom is another place where you can realize this interesting effect. It is worth noting that the gradient of tiles began to embody much earlier.
Using a mosaic to create a smooth transition of color is easier than paint.
Another opportunity to introduce the trend of fashion, purchase an ombre carpet. Believe me, the room will seem bigger. Just stop your choice on a small carpet, and if you lay a huge gradient carpet, the effect of increasing space will be lost.
The ombre staircase ceases to be an exclusively functional element and turns into a decorative detail of the interior.
And even the individual small components of the interior with the effect of a gradient can stylize a room. The main thing - do not overdo it, because the excess of such elements looks ridiculous.
The photo shows the ombre effect.
The wall decoration with a gradient effect is complemented by a veil and pillows with the same effect and in an almost duplicate color scheme. The lamp stand is monochromatic, but in harmony with the overall finish.
Furniture items are always popular: wardrobes, bedside tables and shelves with a “blurred” color. Such furnishings create a wonderful mood, fill the house with positive and the desire to create.
Thanks to them, the room becomes creative and unique.
Such a work of art with a smooth color transition can be created independently. The technique of feathering is simple and interesting, and the canvas will become a bright accent in the interior design.
A bold decision for the design of large window openings with a combination of bright colors and the ombré effect makes the living room dynamic. In this case, it is necessary to “duplicate” the colors in the interior elements: upholstered furniture, carpets.
If there is a desire to slightly refresh the interior of your home, then the curtains should be in harmony with the color of the upholstered furniture.
An interesting use of the ombre technique. There is no smooth transition on the canvas, but there are clearly marked lines. The bright color of the curtains is repeated on the decorative pillow.
Tulle should be neutral, light, or even abandon it.
Vertical “overflowing” of delicate shades of pink and blue visually increases the room and fills with comfort and warmth.
Ombre effect is applicable in any room.
If you are tired of the routine, and you really want to "paint" your life, curtains with an ombre effect are the right choice.
