Classic pompous style and minimalism of window design is not the best combination. Ready to entourage for different rooms will help make a specialist.

It is better to use models with the conditional name "day-night."
For the bedroom, it is better to purchase an eco-friendly model, because you are in the room for at least eight hours, and the rest should be complete.
In the room, soothing shades are desirable that pacify the person who is going to sleep.
Living room decoration
For large rooms, the style is quite diverse. There are more than a hundred design options using minimalism. An interesting option is the loft style decoration.
In the decoration of the modern hall, the curtains of simple (straight) cut became popular during the Great Depression. The concept of interior design with brutal elements was taken from American design. The living room, in addition to the Rolshtor, can be supplemented with heavy assembled curtains, if the ceiling is high and the window opening is full wall.
A beautiful view of the curtains as the main decor of the windows gives uniformity with the overall decor in high-tech style, dominated by gray metallic. It is better to choose a canvas 2-3 shades lighter and darker if the interior contains contrasting elements. Without unnecessary additions strict models look appropriate in the Scandinavian and French styles.
If you really want to use blinds in the classic interior, you can skillfully combine colors, add lambrequins or other style elements, play with textures.
Registration of the nursery
In the room for the child, the design is designed to create a light, calm mood. Therefore, the most successful solution would be to use curtains on which the image of a cartoon character or favorite fairy tale, an animal, as well as bright enough prints or, for a girl, delicate flowers, is applied. Looks good photo printing.
A “double-layered” window design is suitable for a nursery: at the level of plastic - blinds, and on the inside - tulle.
Kitchen decoration
Dining area - a special space. The kitchen should be framed taking into account the constant cooking and possible pollution. Therefore, the material is chosen practical. A popular style in the design of this room is Provence. he creates lightness and spaciousness, in passing fulfilling a utilitarian role.
Roller blinds, which are mounted on plastic windows (their photos are shown below), can be found in many kitchens. They are mounted directly on the frame or almost flush with the lintel. To make it an unusual decor, add transparent curtains, going down to the window sill or slightly lower. If you do not know where to put the wide side of the curtain, you can tie it with a beautiful ribbon to match.

Registration of a loggia
Features of the roller shutters on the balcony are the necessary zoning of the space and the solution of the question of the convenience of opening the valves. Since the base of the windows here is often plastic, the way the door is opened is taken into account. So that the hand could equally easily open the window in a vertical or horizontal position, the canvas is fixed as it were inside the frame.
Usually they use a single color solution, but you can experiment and highlight the tea zone with a cloth of one shade, and the rest of the space with another, or even with a pattern or pattern. It is important that the colors are in harmony with the design of the room, since their “illuminated” color will fall on the surface of the walls and furniture.
Methods of fastening balcony structures - "standard" (open type) or mini-cassette.
If the loggia is located on the south side and a lot of sun enters the room, then the windows of the selected design with blackout or dima function can be installed on the windows and the entrance panel. In bay windows, along with blinds, sometimes tulle is used to the full height of the room.
Day-night designs are appropriate for loggias on the first floors, since it is easy to look into the apartment from the street.
Original models of roller blinds
Unique designs for windows are created by designers for individual window configurations. Spherical blind is one such example.
Different sized windows (in a private house, apartment with a non-standard layout) also require a personal approach. All fragments can have their own configuration, and therefore, the curtains should be symmetrical to them.
