They were used not only as decoration for windows, but also for doors. The style and models of curtains have changed over time. In addition, many of their species, known to us today, were named after the countries in which they appeared: Roman, French, Japanese and Austrian. Their functionality depends on the purpose of the application. Do you like exclusive curtains? Do you want to save on this? In this case, we suggest that you make them yourself. From this article you will learn how to make a curtain on the door with your own hands.

Before making a curtain for the door, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with some of the advantages of such a solution:

• With the help of a curtain, you can visually adjust the size of the room - reduce or enlarge it. You can achieve this effect with the appropriate color of the product.
• The ability to use different materials. It can be textiles, wood or threads.
• Curtains bring a certain lightness to the interior.
• Saving usable space, which is especially important in small apartments. On average, a swing door requires 1 m 2 of area, and when installing curtains, this problem is reduced to nothing.
• Saving money on purchasing a high-quality interior door. Even the most expensive curtains are cheaper than a door.

Like everything else, curtains installed on a doorway have their drawbacks. Among them, it is especially worth noting the lack of heat and sound insulation. In view of this, the choice is between beauty and practicality.

Some people install a door, on the opening of which they then hang curtains. Some designers fully justify this option, especially in cases where the room has an old door that does not harmonize with the overall concept of the interior. This combination is quite logical when arranging a balcony doorway.

Curtains are divided into types depending on the purpose:

• Curtains with a door - perform decorative functions and protect the room from excess light, give it a certain charm.
• Curtains instead of a door - they are fixed in the doorway, they are a replacement for the door.

Types of curtains depending on the material used:

1. Textile curtains are made from different types of fabric. It can be silk, chintz, satin, satin, velvet, tweed, linen, etc.
2. Rope or thread curtains are a continuous airy shroud made from threads. It delimits rooms without obstructing air circulation.

Curtains should be chosen depending on the style of the interior. For example, if it is made in a classic style, then it is better to give preference to a textile curtain. For hi-tech and minimalism, it is better to make curtains with eyelets. Wooden curtains will fit perfectly into the country style, thread curtains are best in harmony with the oriental style.

The attachment of the curtain depends on whether there is a door or not, as well as on the shape of the opening. So, there are these types of mounts:

• Installation on platbands - suitable for hanging curtains.
• Curtains are installed on the door leaf when they want to hide from the sun or prying eyes. Roman shades are usually installed on such a mount.
• The cornice is installed above the aisle on the wall. In this case, the curtain is fixed on the hinges, rings, drawstring. It is worth noting that the latter option is only appropriate if the structure is motionless. Soft rings create soft folds.

You can decorate the curtains with brushes, lambrequins, eyelets. If you want the curtain to be draped, then sew a curtain tape to its upper edge.

Each detail must correspond to the general concept of the interior style in color, shape and texture. Choose materials that are in harmony with the design of the room.

You shouldn't have any particular difficulties when sewing curtains, because the technology practically does not differ from the manufacture of curtains for windows. So, you will need:

1. Textile.
2. Sewing machine.
3. Marking chalk.
4. Scissors.
5. Pins.
6. Threads.

Before starting work, take measurements of the opening, you will need its width, curtain height and mounting points. Decide on the fabric. Add 3 cm to the total width of the curtain for processing allowances, and for fastening to the cornice - 5-10 cm.

In order for the fabric to shrink before opening, it must be soaked in hot water, dried and ironed thoroughly with an iron. Cutting is carried out in accordance with measurements.

If you feel like it, you can decorate the edges with, for example, fringes, frills, or beads. It depends on the style of the interior. After sewing the curtain, all that remains is to hang it on the cornice.

Not so long ago there was such a thing as modern classics. For its decoration, strict draperies with luxurious outlines are used. These can be straight curtains with large vertical folds. To do this, you can purchase a dense textured or smooth fabric. If you want your doorway to look more elegant, then complement the curtain with a light translucent curtain. Often, lambrequins with folds are used to decorate the cornice. The process of sewing such curtains is no different from the above technology.

For the manufacture of curtains in a modern classic style, use only natural textiles. The lower part of the curtains should not reach the floor by 2-3 cm.

Fabrics that shimmer in silver or gold are ideal for overhead curtains. If you think this combination is too pretentious, then it is better to make curtains from a plain dense fabric.

Light, airy chintz curtains are an excellent solution for decorating a romantic summer style. If you combine them with transparent curtains, the effect will be truly delicate. Chintz transmits light well, but at the same time softens it.

To make a chintz curtain, you will need 3 times more fabric than the size of the opening. This will create nice and large folds. To prevent the curtain from crumbling at the edges, it must be hemmed. The cornice is a wooden or metal pipe on which large rings are put on. For the rest, the technology for making chintz curtains does not differ from the technique for making any curtains from fabric.

The cornice is usually screwed 5-10 cm higher from the upper edge of the opening. If desired, tacks can be installed on the walls, allowing you to open the curtains, thus letting in the night coolness into the house.

Most often, colored threads or fishing line are used for the base of such curtains, on which glass balls, wooden tubes or beads are strung. First, think about how the finished product should look like and what kind of cornice to use for it.

To make curtains in oriental style, you will need:

1. Fishing line or thread.
2. Beads, wooden tubes or glass beads for decoration.
3. Needle for attaching beads.
4. Glue.
5. Self-tapping screws.
6. Screwdriver / drill.

So let's get down to the workflow. We mark the doorway for the cornice. It is best to fix such a structure 5 cm above the edge of the doorway. As a fastener, you can use a wooden strip, which should be previously painted in the color of the curtain. On this bar, you need to mark in advance the points through which you will pull the threads. Their number depends only on your ideas about beauty. Depending on the density of the threads, the curtain will be either dense or translucent. Then you need to string the beads on a thread and fasten them to the cornice.

Calculation of the height of the threads: measure the distance from the eaves to the floor (or other desired height from the floor level), add 5 cm to this figure for the fasteners and multiply the resulting amount by 2. This length is necessary in order to string beads with a turn. In this case, it is important to first draw up a diagram or use a ready-made one.

Use a loop rather than just knots to secure the threads. To prevent curtains from fluttering in a draft, weight the curtains at the bottom with large, heavy beads that are fixed on a loop and knot. To fix it more securely, glue the bottom bead with polymer glue.

To make curtains from wooden elements, you will need to purchase them from a specialist store. They can be of different shapes: rhombuses, circles, squares or leaves. You can also use wood-like plastic.

You will need:

• strong thread / line;
• cornice with rings;
• special clips for holding decor, called crimps.

The manufacture of such a curtain does not practically differ from its bead counterpart. It is necessary to prepare the thread cuts, string the decor, while securing each element with crimps or simple knots. Fasten to the cornice and install it over the opening.

With the help of curtains on or above the door, you can beautifully complement the interior in the opening. Thus, the room is decorated in a classic style, retro, modern, provence, minimalism and hi-tech. Interior curtains can be made by yourself and for this you will have enough information described in this article. If you have experience in the manufacture of such curtains, then share it with our readers in the comments to the article.

Designing a private house often involves the presence of a window in the hallway. Several positive factors contribute to this. Firstly, the window is the daytime lighting of the room, which means energy savings during the daytime. Secondly, the window makes any room more complete and beautiful. Therefore, most of the hallways of modern houses have at least one window. It's not always the same size, but it's not that important.

Window decoration at the same time plays an important role for interior and home furnishings. On the one hand, it protects the interior space from "prying eyes", and on the other hand, it adds beauty and completeness to the interior. That is why we will try to choose curtains for windows in a private house, namely, in the hallway.

Peculiarities

To begin with, we will consider what properties the curtains on the windows in the hallway should have, then we will decide which of the existing options will be the most acceptable.

If the hallway is spacious, not burdened with various furniture, and a private house has high ceilings, long products will look good. In the case when the hallway is used, for example, as combined with the dining room, there is a corner for cooking, the curtains on the windows should be appropriate.

It is also important to pay attention to the style of the interior: not everyone is inclined to use long, heavy curtains, for example. Therefore, it is important to choose curtains so that they are as functional and harmonious as possible.

Types of curtains

Such modern types of curtains as:

• Roman;
• Austrian;
• roll;
• blinds;
• thread.

Each of these types is a rather peculiar material for decoration. They fit both a small window and a large one with several wings. In general, it is worth talking a little about the features and appearance of each of the species, they can be examined in more detail in the photo.

Roman

These are "sailing" curtains. They can even be made with your own hands from thick or thin fabric. The main condition will be their management. Roman blinds are moved upward using a special small cable. They were called sailboats precisely because they, when slightly assembled and open, look like ship sails. These curtains are perfect for a small window or a rectangular window in a private house. It is the ease of sewing with your own hands that will allow you to achieve the required size.

Austrian

Another type of "sailing" short curtains that will look good in a classic hallway or in modern style. Such curtains differ from the Roman ones by the folds gathered at the bottom. Roughly speaking, this is a shortened type of theater curtains that have special round assemblies. Austrian curtains look good in floral colors, they go with a glossy dense fabric. They can consist of one or more halves. For example, one-piece curtains are suitable for a small window, and for a window with several sashes in the hallway, curtains from several parts will be a good option.

Roll

This type of curtain is rather good from a functional point of view. As for the design, it is as simple as possible. At the top there is a special cassette with a roll on which the canvas is wound. Roller blinds can be either manually operated or fully automatic. The latter are ideal for a modern home. A special remote control is adapted for them, with which it is easy to adjust the height of raising or lowering the curtain. This is convenient, for example, when the sun is bright, you need to close the window. In addition, roller blinds can be made of opaque material. PVC material can also be used for roller blinds. And I must say that for a non-residential hallway to a private house, this is a normal budget option.

Of course, among roller blinds there are more expensive examples when the canvases are made from natural or expensive synthetic fabrics. And plus an automated control system. All this naturally affects the price.

Blinds

This is a 90% hit for a hallway in a private house. The advantages of blinds are simply invaluable, especially if the window is located near the door. Long massive fabric curtains can collect street dust and get dirty quickly. With blinds, the situation is much simpler. This type of curtain is easy to clean, easy to clean, and most importantly, it has several design options and just an incredible amount of colors and materials. Blinds can be vertical or horizontal. For their production, both light metal and wood, bamboo and even plastic are used. And vertical blinds can be covered with fabrics of different textures and colors. This is the best option in the hallway, which does not carry any load, except as a meeting place and wires for guests. However, in this case, you need to be careful with the choice of blinds and the repair of the room, especially in a private house. With improperly selected blinds, it is easy to go to the "office option", which will not be very comfortable for a residential building.
