Whether you will order individual tailoring of curtains for the window (s) of your kitchen or use the ready-made solution presented in modern stores in the widest assortment, you need to first determine some factors that affect this choice. So, taking into account the peculiarities of the kitchen space, the following types of influences will appear on the surface of window drapery:

constant smells of cooking.

Before you go shopping or on the Internet in search of a suitable curtain model, you need to decide on what kind of functionality window drapery will perform:

protect the room from the sun;
will become a barrier from prying eyes;
will perform only a decorative function;
will be a continuation of the curtain compositions of the living room located in the same space (for the kitchen-studio);
will play the role of a connecting element (in color or texture) with other items of the kitchen interior.

So to summarize. In order for the choice of the textile design of the kitchen window to be perfect, stylish and beautiful, it has served for more than one year and did not cause trouble in operation, it is necessary to determine:

the choice of the method of execution of the curtain composition (shape, size, number of layers, general design);
type of material, based on the technological qualities of the fabric and the requirements for window draping;
color scheme (presence or absence of a print, accent design or in harmony with the overall color scheme of the kitchen);
the budget for window decoration in the kitchen (the range of prices, both for the fabrics themselves and for sewing products, is incredibly wide).

Choosing a model of kitchen curtains

The following factors influence the choice of curtain model for the kitchen window:

the shape and size of the room and the window itself (number of windows);
the location of the kitchen relative to the cardinal points (degree of natural light) and the level above the ground (floor);
the presence of other functional segments with horses in the same room (living room or kitchen studio);
style of interior design;
personal ideas of the owners about the beauty and practicality of the textile design of windows.

Traditional curtains

Classical or traditional curtains are a universal option for window decoration of any room. And the kitchen was no exception. You can choose traditional curtains to a window of any shape and size, any stylistic execution of the interior. Vertical canvases of the fabric will help to reliably protect the space from sunlight and prying eyes, will become a decoration of the kitchen interior and a spectacular finishing touch in the picture of the formation of his image.

Traditional curtains are most often combined with light, translucent curtains. Tulle helps to slightly muffle sunlight, and curtains will help to completely darken the room if necessary. It was a tandem of translucent tulle (most often white) and dense plain curtains that became the most popular option for window drapery in Russian kitchens.

Effectively, traditional curtains are combined with Roman or roll models of window drapery. This tandem is perfect for kitchens located on the sunny side of the building or on the ground floor of an apartment building. In this case, the curtains can both match in color, and can be presented in a monophonic version in combination with a printed fabric.

In addition to the fact that traditional curtains can be executed in a monophonic version or to select canvas with a print, they can be attached to the cornice (or any other device) in various ways:

on grommets;
on hooks and clamps;
on fabric loops or ties;
thread through the cornice and throw through it (the latter option will require a large amount of fabric).

Roman curtains

Rolled or Roman curtains are one of the most common options for designing kitchen windows in foreign design projects. In Russian homes, the use of Roman curtains is also gaining momentum. For small kitchen windows, roller blinds can be the best way to drape, given their simplicity, conciseness, and incredible functionality. In addition, for minimalist moods of modern style, rolled fabric curtains are ideal.

Roman curtains can be presented in a frame and frameless type of execution. In the first case, the uniform horizontal folds have a rigid coupling, in the second - they fall by soft folds. Which option to choose is up to you, it all depends on the general mood of the interior and your personal preferences.

Cafe curtains (short curtains)

Curtains of this type of ulterior motive are called "cafes" - this is the way that partial closures of window openings were often used in small restaurants or cafes. The curtains covering half or a third of the window will not protect the room from the sun (this is not necessary for all kitchen spaces), but they will hide it from prying eyes and bring a touch of comfort to the atmosphere of the interior.

Color scheme for kitchen curtains

Before you start choosing a color scheme for window textiles, you need to decide whether you want the textiles on the windows to become a bright (or just contrasting) accent or whether the curtains should blend in with the overall palette of the kitchen interior. The choice of plain linen or printed fabric will also be influenced by the overall color palette of the room, the color of the decoration of the walls and kitchen facades, because it is the design of vertical surfaces and the furniture that forms the image of the kitchen room.

Plain curtains

Curtains without a picture - the most simple and versatile way to design kitchen windows. No need to think about combining print on fabric with other elements. It is enough to choose only the color of the textile design of the kitchen window. And in this case, there are several options that can organically fit practically into any interior of the kitchen - no matter what color palette and stylistic design were chosen for it. One of these options is white curtains. What trends did not offer us designers, and white color will always attract customers with its versatility, purity and ease. White curtains are easily combined with any color schemes adopted during the design of the kitchen, they always look fresh and even ceremonial.

Another universal color for window draping is gray. This color has many noble shades that can, if not become a center of attraction, then serve as an excellent neutral background for other, more vibrant interior items. Gray color is easy to combine with different colors for finishing and execution of kitchen facades. And to bring emphasis to the resulting interior, just one (if the room is small) or several bright details (if the size of the kitchen allows) is enough.

The use of curtains as an accent element is a spectacular design technique that is often used in modern kitchen design projects. It is great for small to medium sized kitchen spaces. All surfaces of the room are made in neutral, most often light colors, and window drapes of one or another modification are used as bright elements. This way of registration is easy to carry out independently, without the help of specialists.

Dark, deep shades attract with its drama. But not many owners are able to decide on the use of dark, even black curtains in the design of the kitchen space. This design technique is really very bold, suitable only for rooms with a sufficient area. But how contrasting the design looks in the interior of a modern kitchen.

Patterned window drapery

It is impossible to answer unambiguously the question about the most popular prints that are used in fabrics for kitchen curtains. In many stylistic directions, there are well-established patterns of application of a particular textile pattern. For example, in country style it is often possible to see fabric in a cage or a small floral ornament. Moreover, this print can no longer be used in any of the interior items.
