Choosing ready-made curtains for the kitchen is more difficult than choosing curtains for other rooms. Food is prepared regularly in the kitchen, and fumes rising into the air can easily spoil delicate fabrics. In order for kitchen curtains to last a long time and always look good, they must be easy to care for, resistant to wear and tear and frequent washing.

Curtains made of thick or, conversely, extremely light and thin, but durable fabrics are suitable for the kitchen. A good solution for this room would also be to buy roller blinds made from natural materials.

Modern curtains are designed to perform both aesthetic and practical functions. For sunny rooms, shading at certain times of the day is very important. If your apartment is located on the lower floors, you need to choose thick curtains that cover the interior from prying eyes.

Lightweight models can be said to act only as window decoration. They are usually made from translucent materials such as tulle, organza, chiffon, and veil.

As you might guess, the final design can be completely different. Here you should focus on your own preferences and style of the room.

Today, for example, curtains with eyelets are very popular in minimalist interiors. Light folds will give a feeling of homely warmth, comfort, and will add a touch of sophistication and originality to the surrounding space. They are hung on round cornices.

Grommet size selected based on the diameter of the pipe on which they will be attached. The main emphasis here is on the beauty of the fabric, which will be further emphasized thanks to the vertical tails.

Classic models complemented by a lambrequin can hardly be called a novelty, because they have long taken their rightful place in interiors.

You can combine heavy curtain fabric and light, weightless fabrics. The lambrequin is located at the top of the window, its height varies in the range of 20-50 cm. Correctly selected material will visually increase the size of the window.

Often they only reach the middle of the window, leaving the window sill completely open, that is, you can use it as a work surface to place small household appliances and other accessories.

They will highlight the sophistication kitchen set, will bring comfort and warmth into the room.

Roman

These are some of the most popular window decoration options today. They will fit perfectly into interiors of any style, distinguished by their beauty and ease of use.

If you are looking for an option that will fit perfectly into your design, do not pass by Roman blinds.

Based on them, you can create a rather original modern interior. True connoisseurs of elegance and beauty will certainly appreciate them.

Aesthetics is an indisputable fact, but this is far from the only thing that attracts the attention of modern consumers and designers.

The enviable functionality cannot be overlooked. By raising or lowering a special mechanism, you can adjust the light level.

They are also quite easy to care for. To wash, simply remove them from the curtain rod, remove the weight strips, and throw the fabric itself into the washing machine, choosing the optimal one temperature regime and revolutions based on the type of fabric.

To avoid streaks on the fabric, we recommend using liquid powders and additional rinsing. They dry flat. It is best to iron slightly damp material. Roman blinds go well with classic straight curtains. For example, take a look at these photos.

Patterns, abstraction, floral motifs, checks, stripes, and stains are acceptable. Models with embroidery look elegant and fit perfectly into elegant classic kitchen interiors.

The choice of materials is also striking in its diversity, ranging from light weightless chiffon, tulle, and ending with massive heavy curtains.

Austrian

Austria is a country that has been famous for its “lace” art from time immemorial. If you are looking modern curtains for the kitchen, striking with its grace, representativeness, aristocracy, then this option is for you.

Externally, they are separate sections, tidied up along the lower edge in the form of airy flounces or lush folds. Increased decorativeness is provided by contrasting trim with piping, fringe, cords, and decorative tassels.

This is also one of the varieties of lifting models, but unlike the Roman ones, there is no crossbar.

To control them, cords are used, threaded into special rings attached to the cornice. Cords play not only a functional, but also a decorative role, forming a lush and beautiful drapery.

The choice of fabrics for Austrian curtains is very diverse. The main thing is that the material must be wrinkle-resistant.

Such new design items may well act as an independent element of window decor, but if necessary, they can be supplemented with classic curtains and contrasting lambrequins.

French

Here is a recognized classic, the embodiment of luxury, a shining example of respectability and solidity.

They give the room aristocracy, sophistication, and create a warm, cozy atmosphere of comfort and chic.

Pay attention to them if your interior is implemented in any of classic styles. Vertical folds will be illuminated in an original way by the sun's rays playing and shimmering in them.

They look no less impressive under artificial lighting. For sewing, both classically heavy portrait fabrics and light tulle curtains can be used.

Already from the description it becomes clear that they are intended exclusively for spacious kitchens With high ceilings. This option is undesirable for those whose stove is located in close proximity to the window.

Rolled

This is one of the latest, one might say, new designs. Despite their relative “youth”, they have seriously competed with traditional types of curtains.

If you wish, you can cover the window with one solid structure, or use narrow canvases that cover each section separately.

Lightweight materials will allow you to create barely noticeable shading, placing the main emphasis on decorativeness. The fabrics are impregnated with special compounds, making them resistant to high humidity and sunlight.

Moreover, now in showrooms you can find samples of Roman blinds with photo printing. Modern technologies make it possible to apply designs on fabric, family photos and any images.

If you want to make their operation more convenient, opt for models with electric drive. They are easily integrated into the smart home system, automatically opening and closing at certain times you specify.

Kiseya

If you want to create a relaxed, airy atmosphere, pay attention to muslin curtains. This material allows you to obtain light and weightless models of any configuration and size. They can be easily combined with curtain fabrics and threads of other colors. This option is purely decorative.

A translucent canvas will not be able to protect the kitchen from the penetration of sunlight and prying eyes. If your apartment is located on the sunny side, on the ground floor of the house or next to other high-rise buildings, then in addition for shading you will need to use dense options or blinds.

They fit especially harmoniously into small rooms, creating a unified interior, visually raising the ceilings, filling the room with air and light. Once you have chosen them, pay proper attention to the choice of colors, decor, and design.

A profitable solution is obtained by combining materials of different colors. Kisey is the canvas that allows you to reveal all your creative and design abilities, resulting in real masterpieces endowed with a bright personality.

Japanese

If you are looking for a truly outlandish option for decorating a window in the kitchen, then you simply cannot pass by Japanese curtains.

They represent the "screen", consisting of several panels, each of which is a rectangular piece of fabric. The width and height of one screen depends on the size of the window sash. The canvas is secured to a special guide using textile Velcro.

The panels can be lined up one after another in the form of a ladder, completely wrapped behind each other, moved symmetrically along the edges, or lined up in one line.

The main requirement is maximum tension of the canvas. For this purpose, weights are used, placed in the lower part, and hard fiberglass inserts are inserted into the side seams.

The exclusivity of Japanese curtains and their main distinguishing feature– this is their conspicuous decorativeness. It will not be difficult for you to find canvases with extraordinary geometric, floral or plot designs.

Blinds

- This is one of the most popular options for window design in our apartments. They differ in materials, positioning of lamellas (vertical, horizontal), color and texture.

Be careful when choosing this option, because despite the special treatment of the slats, they still remain susceptible to dirt and moisture, and they cannot be used near the stove.

Splashes and stains of grease, soot, specific food odors - these are the ones that become main problem for curtains, forcing them to be washed frequently.

The naturalness of materials and environmental friendliness are the main advantages of curtains made from natural fabrics, which are pleasant to look at. They are pleasant to the touch, hypoallergenic, and allow light and air to pass through well. But you have to pay a fairly high price for beauty and naturalness - they are not cheap. The disadvantages of natural materials are their impracticality - high sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, detergents and machine washable. Made from thin cotton or linen, natural models wear out quite quickly and lose their attractive appearance.

Synthetic curtains (nylon, viscose, acetate, polyester, synthetic organza)

Despite their affinity with chemistry, short modern curtains made from such materials are widely used to frame windows. First of all, the attractiveness of synthetic curtains is due to their low price and wide availability. They are also endowed with a number of advantages: durable, wear-resistant, do not wrinkle or shrink when washed, and are resistant to fire and fading in the sun. However, due to the characteristics of the material, synthetic models become more electrified and attract dust particles faster - they have to be washed several times more often.

A universal solution colors that are equally suitable in any style are considered combinations of sand, milky, beige colors;
5. Area and layout. Happy owners of large premises can afford absolutely any colors in decoration and decor. At the same time, owners of more modest spaces have to resort to tricks, visually enlarging the space with the help of color. Materials of muted lavender, pearl, blue, light green and, of course, white colors can help with this;
6. Illumination. If the windows face sunny side and during the day there is sufficient natural light, you can select models in dark shades. Otherwise, it is advisable to choose translucent ones that let in as much light as possible.

Fabric requirements

When arranging a kitchen, it is always necessary to take into account the microclimate in this room. High humidity and temperature, periodic exposure to water vapor, odors arising during cooking - have a great impact on all materials and especially textiles. Based on this, it is advisable to choose durable fabrics for kitchen curtains, so that they do not lose their aesthetics under repeated washing and difficult operating conditions.

If the kitchen is large and the cooking area is located far enough from the window, you can afford curtains made of thick, expensive fabrics - silk, satin, jacquard, taffeta. It’s probably worth giving up velvet, velor and other fleecy materials.

Translucent ones help to slightly dim the daytime brightness of the sun. tulle fabrics- organza, guipure, gauze, muslin. They must be used very carefully, positioned at a distance of at least 2-3 meters from the stove, oven and other heating appliances.

Any curtains should be removed as far as possible from sources of fire. If this is difficult to do due to the small area, then it is better to choose fire-resistant roller shutters that fit tightly to the glass.

For a medium-sized kitchen, simple materials that do not require special care are suitable: linen, chintz, bamboo curtains will look stylish and organic, especially if you choose a tablecloth to match them. dining table or put sofa cushions in similar colors.

The most inexpensive and practical option for the kitchen are polyester curtains. This synthetic material does not wrinkle, absorbs almost no odors and dries very quickly. It’s good if the fabric is coated with fire-resistant, water-repellent (Teflon or acrylic) impregnation - this way it will become less dirty.

If you need completely light-proof curtains for the dark, pay attention to blackout. Dark threads are woven into this fabric in a special way, which provide the curtains with maximum opacity.

Curtains and interior style

The choice of curtains for the kitchen largely depends on the style in which it is decorated. The absence of textiles is expected only in the loft and Scandinavian design, in all other cases, fabrics are a significant element of the interior, and sometimes the brightest accent.

The laconicism of modern design is ideally complemented by strict plain curtains with pronounced graphic folds, without unnecessary decoration or pretentiousness.

Classics are characterized by luxurious elegance, which is expressed in expensive fabrics, lush frills and eye-catching accessories. Sliding curtains with tulle and lambrequin, as well as Austrian, French and English festoons, will become a real decoration of a spacious kitchen with a cozy dining area near a bay window, balcony or panoramic window.

The charm of the French province in the kitchen can be achieved by creating short chintz curtains with a delicate floral or themed print. They can be decorated with granny's lace, embroidery, plain ribbons to match the designs, hold their shape thanks to tiebacks and be folded with soft draperies.

Traditional tulle is rarely used in Provence, and curtains only partially cover the windows, allowing as much sun as possible into the room.

Curtains in a rustic style are, again, cotton fabrics with a floral pattern (it can be brighter and larger than in Provence), checkered patterns, polka dots, images of fruits, vegetables, berries, poultry and animals. Short sliding curtains are gathered into beautiful frills, and lambrequins made of the same material are often present.

To make the design of a small kitchen look thoughtful and harmonious, curtains must be chosen in compliance with proportions and artistic rules for constructing a composition.

The size of the window is of considerable importance. If this is panoramic glazing or access to a balcony, then it is better to attach the cornice to the ceiling, and make the curtains the length of the floor so as not to “cut” the height of the room. Vertical folds or contrasting stripes will visually lift the ceiling, and a translucent texture, allowing light to pass through, will slightly expand the space.

A large window opening can be covered with a photo curtain with a realistic play of chiaroscuro, a floral pattern or beautiful landscape. Since such a curtain will most likely cover an entire wall near the window, it is advisable to arrange a dining area with white or transparent (glass, plastic) furniture nearby.

If the window in the kitchen is medium in size or small, then you should opt for short curtains with a lambrequin as decoration, and at night, cover the glass with roller blinds, Roman blinds or blinds.

Light curtains with floral or fruit patterns, simple geometric patterns are the most traditional solution for rooms decorated in country or Provence style.

Plain light-colored curtains look great as they visually expand the kitchen space. Comfortable tiebacks will help save such curtains from quickly fading, and for additional protection Roller structures or practical blinds are perfect for protecting rooms from the sun.

Short curtains

If it is important to make good use of every centimeter in a room, practical models with a length just above the level of the window sill will definitely be a good choice.

On the one hand, curtains will give the window opening a spectacular finished look, and on the other hand, they will make it possible to use the window sill space for household needs.
