An element that plays a key role in creating this sensation, as well as protecting residents from the outside world, are curtains in the bedroom, the choice of which should not be postponed to the last moment. We will tell you how not to get lost in the wide variety of assortment and buy textiles that are perfect for your design.
Types of curtains for the bedroom
Curtains - this is not just a direct canvas on the window that protects from prying eyes. They can vary in shape, volume, size, creating bright accents in the interior or complementing its minimalist look. French, Japanese, classic ... Which option to choose? Let's go through the most popular types and try to figure out how they look in the bedroom.
French curtains
The type of curtains, the textiles of which are selected and create many rounded folds along the entire length. The effect is achieved with the help of cords from the wrong side of the material, which pass through the loops. Such curtains in the bedroom look very solemn, especially in combination with patterned material. Choosing a light translucent fabric, you can achieve the effect of airiness or combine it with a more massive one.
Austrian curtains
This type of curtains has common features with the French, while possessing a more restrained decor. In the omitted form, the horizontal folds are located only along the lower edge, leaving the upper part of the straight line. Elegant and at the same time concise.
Roman curtains
Despite its ancient origin, the Roman curtains in the bedroom look quite modern and practical. This is a strip of fabric stretched over a structure that is installed at the window.
Roman blinds are non-moving, adjustable vertically. They often use dense impermeable textiles that reliably protect the room from sunlight.
Japanese curtains
They are several rectangular, even canvases that are fixed with rigid inserts from the bottom to prevent creasing. They can be with one-sided or central extension. Japanese curtains resemble a large screen, perfectly fitting into the minimalist interior of the bedroom.
Roller blinds
A convenient view of the curtains for the bedroom, the fabric of which is wound on a special roller. Thanks to this mechanism, matter can be fixed in any position, adjusting the level of lighting in the room as desired. Monophonic textiles and a canvas with an elegant pattern will look good.
Classic curtains
The most common option, which is two straight fabrics with a separation in the center. Despite the seeming simple appearance, such curtains can be decorated with any drawings or accessories, creating a unique design in the interior of the bedroom.
Drawstring bedroom curtains
Fastened to the cornice by tying ribbons or lace around the structure. Better for thinner fabrics, but in the case of dense material, it is recommended to make wide strips. Large bows help create an airy design that is relevant for children's bedrooms. The advantage of the species is the absence of extraneous sounds that usually occur when moving along the cornice.
Curtains in the bedroom with eyelets
The upper part of the curtains includes eyelets, which are worn on the cornice. The advantage of the view is the invisibility of the fastening method, which in some cases can visually increase flows or create a sense of unity of the artistic composition of the canvas. In addition, with the help of eyelets, uniform folds are obtained. The density of the parts reduces the wear of the fabric.
Curtains in the bedroom on the braid
Unlike the previous version, this one is characterized by frequent vertical folds that give the product dynamism and splendor. The effect is achieved using sewn-in cords that are pulled together. It is recommended to choose a fabric wider than the used window space, since when assembled, the curtains can become one and a half to two times smaller.
Curtains in the bedroom on the rings with clothespins
This kind can be found in the interiors of many apartments. Curtains are attached to the cornice thanks to special rings with clothespins that extend beyond the fabric. The most practical option for curtains for the bedroom, which does not require additional effort during installation. Creates a classic design, suitable for different styles.
What fabric to stop on?
Of course, it is better to give preference to natural materials, especially in the bedroom. Cotton and linen have a pleasant texture and the ability to pass air. But this choice is more suitable for apartments located on the north side, since under the influence of the sun the canvas burns out faster. You can additionally use blinds or roller blinds.
But you should not discount curtains made of artificial materials - they are not only practical, but also characterized by great diversity. For example, polyester has a wide range of textures. Taffeta creates a light feeling and is suitable for volumetric curtains. Rayon looks luxurious and washable. Organza is the perfect solution for an airy, light bedroom interior.
In terms of decor, in the modern market you can find a wide variety of options - from simple patterns to textiles with complex prints. In the bedroom, try to use plain bright curtains that will help create a relaxed atmosphere.
Classical bedroom curtains
Despite its traditionality, the classical style does not lose popularity in our days. In this solution, curtains play an important role in creating a luxurious as well as cozy design.
According to the rules, two levels of matter are used: a dense canvas with a floral pattern, under which a transparent veil. The best of all are suitable for this interior - French or Austrian.
It is desirable that the color scheme of curtains be light, pastel, as well as the interior itself. In the bedroom, each element should contribute to relaxation and good sleep. If the room uses several colors, focus on the color of the bedspread.
Curtains for a bedroom in a modern style
This style has no clear boundaries and rules. Following it, it is necessary to focus on general design principles, not to be afraid of experiments or unusual combinations.
Classic curtains are well suited, the bright accent of which is color, as well as an interesting pattern. Roman, Japanese species will fit in combination with a long curtain of a different shade.
Provence style bedroom curtains
Provence style in the bedroom loves cosiness and rustic charm, therefore curtains are its irreplaceable element. Look for light, airy fabrics or floral textiles. The good old cell also looks good, especially if such a material has already been used in the interior, for example, as a bedspread, tablecloth.
The color palette should ideally fit the overall design, standing out due to the delicate texture and graceful folds.
Minimalist bedroom curtains
When mentioning a minimalist style, the question may arise: why are curtains needed here? After all, design involves a limited set of items that serve only practical purposes. But in such a private room as a bedroom, curtains are more a necessity than an ornament.
Curtains should not contain textures, but be made in white, gray or black. A simple classic curtain, roller blinds, as well as Roman curtains will be enough to create the desired effect.
Additional criteria when choosing curtains
Curtains in the bedroom are not only a component of decor. They serve practical purposes by providing privacy. Actual for those who live on the ground floor or whose windows are located close to the neighboring house. Therefore, dense fabrics are used in the evening, and light translucent tulles in the daytime.
If you are not afraid of prying eyes, pay attention to where the window goes. The sunny side may bring some inconvenience to the residents. An excellent option in this case is Roman or Japanese curtains, which will reliably protect the bedroom from excessive light.
When all practical issues have been resolved, you can concentrate on decorative ones. To do this, use textile with patterns or buy additional accessories, for example, pick up curtains with brushes or a lambrequin.
Pay attention to the dimensions of the space and ceilings. In an interior with a large area, any solution will look harmonious, but small-sized bedrooms require a special approach. The same applies to the height of the walls - those that are more than a few meters can be used to demonstrate beautiful patterns on textiles.
Curtains for a small bedroom
Bedrooms that do not have an impressive number of square meters, and most of them in our houses, are very demanding in relation to the window design. The curtains in this case should not impede the penetration of natural light, but responsibly fulfill the mission of the partition between the inner and outer world.
When choosing, focus on light shades, even if your design includes two levels of curtains. Ideally, if the color scheme is close to the decoration of the walls, as bright details can enhance the feeling of the boundaries of space.
In especially severe cases, it is better to do with plain fabrics. At the same time, Roman, rolled and other types of curtains that do not create a large number of folds will look good in a small bedroom.
Visually increase low ceilings will help ceiling cornices. And the fabric itself in this case should reach the floor, although to some this solution may seem impractical. Vertical lines enhance the desired effect, and a laconic look will create a stylish atmosphere.
Long curtains
Classic curtains and curtains this year are very common in fashion design projects. Their cut and texture have remained unchanged for many years.
In the photo, curtains in a traditional Provence style. This style is characterized by floral motifs in textiles.
Only fabrics change, their appearance, quality, colors, which is natural. Production technologies are constantly being improved and modern materials cannot be completely identical to their historical counterparts.
But in any performance, the classic looks worthy, elegant and gives the bedroom not only comfort, but also status.
Distinctive features of classic curtains:
- meticulously tailored cut
- noble fabrics
- exact proportions
- thoughtful and rich colors,
- the presence of decorative accessories.
A traditional option for the bedroom is heavy sliding curtains made of thick silk with a lambrequin from the same fabric and silk tulle. They are decorated with fringe, tassels and collected on the sides with tacks or hairpins.
This season, the color of the curtains should be saturated, without shine, reminiscent of gouache paints.
The tulle can be transparent or the same color as the curtains, but very diluted.
Eyelets
Curtains on grommets - plastic or metal rings framing the holes in the upper part of fabric panels, are especially popular this season.
They consist of two parts, which snap into place during installation and tightly clamp the fabric. The result is a durable and convenient mount that allows the curtains to slide freely along the ledge and close and open them with one movement of the hand.
This fastening allows you to combine curtains of different densities on one window, and any fabric can be used for sewing them, so it is suitable for most modern interior styles.
For curtains on cringles, only a round cornice is suitable. Due to the fact that they are installed at the same distance from each other, the vertical folds on the fabric are smooth and the same.
In this case, the hole itself is almost imperceptible and a feeling is created that the curtain rod permeates the curtains themselves.
If it is not planned to push the curtains completely in the bedroom, you can completely dispense with the eaves and fix the curtains with special hooks directly to the wall. This design looks very stylish and airy.
The secret of the beauty of curtains on grommets in conciseness. They are not decorated with lambrequins, curtain accessories and lush draperies. The emphasis in their design is only on the texture and coloring of the fabric.
The only decorations that can be enabled with this method of window decoration are artistic tips on the ledge and side grabs that allow you to open the curtains without sliding them apart.
Photo Printed Curtains
The result of innovative technologies - today's trendy 3D printing curtains will be a real godsend for any bedroom.
They are very widely and variedly represented on the market, but they can also be ordered at a specialized salon if desired, choosing any drawing from a design drawing to a personal photograph for drawing.
Photocurtains are best chosen when the bedroom interior is already formed. They will emphasize his individuality and become his main focus.
The image on photocurtains does not fade in the sun and does not fade during washing, and only high-quality textiles can become the basis for it.
Photo printing can be applied both to dense curtains from fabrics such as satin, gabardine, satin, blackout, and curtains from translucent types of fabric. Mounting for such curtains can be any, including eyelets.
Photocurtains are used today in all rooms in the house, but for the bedroom they are especially relevant.
Photo printing on fabric can be flat and resemble a picture, or it can be voluminous and create the illusion of expanding and deepening space
The volumetric image of a forest glade, the sea coast, an old street or the starry sky, like relaxing music, can immerse you in a relaxing atmosphere that promotes a sound and healthy sleep.
Pelmet
Lambrequin - horizontal drapery framing the top of the curtains. It does not carry a functional load, but it is able to hide small flaws of the window structure, make the atmosphere of the bedroom even more comfortable and gives it a special charm.
The photo shows a bedroom in a modern style with light curtains and a hard lambrequin.
Initially, the lambrequins were sewn only for curtains and curtains and looked approximately the same. Today they are combined with all types of curtains, even as strict as horizontal plastic blinds.
Modern lambrequins can be divided into several main types:
- Soft. Drapery, consisting of a single piece of soft fabric or composed of several elements: peroxides, swag, ties, de jabot, chill.
- Hard (bando). The fabric for the bando is planted on a rigid non-woven base, and its lower edge is left straight, cut off along an oblique line, in the form of an arch or some specific pattern.
- Openwork. A kind of hard lambrequin, decorated with a through ornament, cut across its surface using a laser.
- Combined. It combines hard and soft types of lambrequins, alternating in any sequence. For example, when the cornice is covered by an even strip of hard fabric, and soft draperies hang from its sides.
There are no special restrictions on the combination of curtains and lambrequins. It all depends on the features of their design, interior style and personal preferences.
The only thing to remember is that the lambrequin “eats” the height of the ceiling and use it in the bedroom, where it is less than 2.5 meters should be used with caution.
Blackout
Blackout curtains are one of the latest fashionable novelties of the textile market.
It’s more likely not a variety of curtains, but a type of fabric that instantly won consumers, inspired designers and transformed the traditional idea of people about what modern curtains should be like in a bedroom.
Blackout fabric is able to cut off the light from the street almost completely (with efficiency up to 90-100%), creating the most favorable conditions for sound sleep in the room.
During the day, such curtains protect the bedroom from bright sunlight, and at night from the flickering of street lamps, car headlights and neon signs.
This exceptional opacity is due to the chemical structure of the Blackout fibers. They are satin-woven polyester yarns of which two-layer or three-layer textiles are woven.
The more layers the fabric has, the higher its light-shielding properties. Despite the increased density and layering, Blackout fabric is quite thin and drapes well.
This innovative textile differs in density, light tightness, colors, prints, absence or presence of metal spraying and lining base.
Various models of sliding and lifting curtains are sewed from it, among which you can always find a solution suitable for any particular interior.
Of those that designers recommend using in the bedroom, one can distinguish classic curtains, as well as Roman curtains and Japanese screen panels.
Advantages of Blackout curtains for a bedroom:
- increased light tightness,
- long service life without loss of presentation
- high heat and sound insulation properties,
- fire resistance
- easy care
- a variety of patterns and colors.
Austrian curtains
Austrian curtains are another appropriate type of lifting curtains in the bedroom, just below the windowsill. Sometimes they are confused with French and Roman curtains.
They differ from the former in less lush ruffles, collected not along the entire length of the canvas, but only at its base, and from the latter in more smooth, soft lines and delicate pastel colors.
In addition, such curtains love curtain decor, and they are often decorated with fringe, bows, ribbons, hairpins in the form of butterflies and flowers.
Austrian curtains go well with all kinds of lambrequins and other curtains.
They can be sewn from a soft but dense fabric and hung with tulle. In this case, they will play the role of the main curtains, and protect the bedroom from sunlight.
And you can sew "Austrians" from light transparent fabric: tulle, organza, chiffon, veil and combine with dense curtains. In this case, they will serve as curtains.
According to designers, in 2018 Austrian curtains are the most popular way of decorating windows in interiors made in delicate and romantic styles, such as Mediterranean, Italian, Provence, vintage, shabby chic.
Due to the fact that the character of “Austrians” is very romantic, the most spectacular look in the bedroom is models made of plain fabric with a smooth shiny surface: silk, taffeta, batiste, polyester, veil, saturated or pastel colors.
Simple “village” materials, such as chintz, cotton, thin linen with a naive floral print, are no less often used for sewing Austrian curtains, but they will forgive the bedroom and are more suitable for the kitchen or the nursery.
Kisei
Curtains of thread or kisei came to us from the hot East and are specially created in order to create an atmosphere of exquisite relaxing bliss in the room.
They are dense curtains of smooth and dense threads falling from a smooth waterfall. There are a lot of kinds of kisei.
It can be plain and multi-colored, fabric or metallized, simple or complemented by all kinds of solid jewelry: beads, sequins, bugles.
Such a variety of textures and colors allows you to choose a suitable model of filament curtains for any interior. She is able to harmoniously fit not only into the artsy oriental, romantic European bedroom.
Even the avant-garde hi-tech style interior will look complete if you pick up curtains of thread with metallized splashes to it, and a muslin made of natural tightly twisted cotton ropes with wooden tubes strung on them perfectly complement the laconic Japanese style.
Despite the airy texture, the curtains of the thread are able to cut off and scatter the light.
But their light protection is the same as that of tulle or curtains and they are not enough to completely obscure the room, so it is customary to use muslin in the bedroom in combination with other denser curtains.
Kiseya is very plastic, it can be easily assembled into the most bizarre draperies, but in a simple, straightened state, it looks no less impressive.
For a bedroom it is better to choose a muslin from twisted chenille threads of dark saturated colors.
Light-colored curtains are used in this room only as a decor, on top of other curtains, as an original canopy on a bed or as a lightweight partition that allows you to separate a sleeping place from the rest of the room.
Advantages of using Kisei in the bedroom:
- Filament curtains do not interfere with the natural ventilation of the room.
- With proper selection of the colors and textures of the threads, as well as the corresponding curtain decor, they can be included in most interior styles.
- Perfectly draped and combined with any models of curtains and blinds.
- The length of the muslin can be any, it is easy to change it, simply by cutting off the extra centimeters with scissors.
- Thread curtains are multifunctional. I use them not only for windows, but also for dividing the room into zones, as well as a canopy above the bed.
Japanese panels
Japanese screen panels appeared in our interiors not so long ago, but very quickly became popular and are not going to leave the pages of fashion magazines on interior design.
They are flat, tightly stretched over thin frames or using fabric weights.
The average width of the paintings is most often 40-60 cm, but panels with a width of more than a meter can be used on spacious panoramic windows.
Screen panels occupy a minimum of space, can be of any length and can be made of fabrics of different textures and any colors.
The canvases freely move along the tracks of the profile cornice, alternating them differently, exposing them in a row or in parallel, thereby achieving the most comfortable natural lighting.
On one window, depending on its width, 3 to 6 panels are used. They can be made from fabrics of different densities and used according to the same principle as curtains with curtains.
Recently, they are also not forbidden to combine with other types of curtains, most often with tulle of simple colors and almost without folds.
For the bedroom, Japanese screen curtains are also good because they can serve as doors for sliding wardrobes and light and compact partitions for zoning space.
It is no secret that no matter how quiet and calm the atmosphere in this room is, to separate a sleeping place from the rest of its space will never be superfluous.
Classical curtains
The colors, as well as the texture of the fabric, the curtains often resonate with a bedspread, sofa cushions, upholstery, flooring and other elements of the decor. Choosing curtains in the bedroom, decorated in a classic style, it is not necessary to be limited to monophonic models.
Although the 2018 fashion does not dictate strict rules, several trends can still be identified, for example:
- the color of the curtains should be a tone lighter or a tone darker than the walls or the overall color scheme of the bedroom,
- curtains with an ornament or a pattern will look best against the background of plain walls, echoing the main color with the small details of the interior that we mentioned earlier,
- magnificent designs with a lambrequin and two or three types of curtains are more likely not suitable for bedrooms with a large number of objects and decor.
Modern classic models are often simplified, approaching in appearance to laconic Scandinavian curtains, or complicated due to the combination of different materials and the use of decorative accessories. Instead of one traditional curtain, you can find two, or even three adjacent canvases.
Along with this, the only decoration on the window is often a patterned or mesh tulle. White translucent curtains are particularly versatile. They are always easy to supplement with hooks, lambrequin, frill, fringe, achieving the desired result.
Depending on how often you need to push and pull the curtains, the most convenient method of fastening is chosen - a drawstring, ties, rings with clips.

How to choose curtains in the bedroom: some tips
Before you pick up the curtains in the bedroom, you need to consider that the room in any home is the most intimate and relaxing room. Here people retire and just relax. And nobody will dispute the importance of a good night's sleep. Therefore, it is so important to correctly emphasize the arrangement of a place for sleep.
Choose curtains for the bedroom, the main details
In order for the bedroom to have a rest, and being in it was comfortable, it is important to think through all the details of the interior. The final touch, emphasizing the chosen style, will be beautiful curtains. They will not only complete the image of the bedroom, but also create an atmosphere of intimacy or glamorous luxury.
Before running to the store for the “clothes” of your windows, think about the purpose of the curtains:
- If there are blinds on the windows to protect from sun and light, then any curtains can be chosen. Suitable and short, and long, and dense, and weightless. The main thing, in this case, is compliance with the interior.
- If, however, curtains are necessary for protection from daylight, then a second dense layer will be needed. When deciding how to choose curtains in the bedroom, evaluate the style of the room.
Color matters. The color of the curtains must be selected, focusing on the selected accents. If the bed serves as the main color spot, then the windows should not stand out:
- Curtains should be hung in more subdued tones, but the same color scheme.
- If the main tone of the bedroom is sustained in pastel or muted colors, then you can select the window. In this case, the curtains will be the main eye-catching element.
- In any case, when deciding how to choose curtains for the bedroom, be guided by the advice of designers.They recommend, regardless of the interior, to pick up the curtains a little lighter than the main tone of the room.
Often, the curtain on the windows consists of several layers. The bottom layer is tulle and you need to choose it in light shades. The upper, denser layer can be of any color, harmoniously combined with the tone of the room.
We choose material for curtains. When choosing curtains, be sure to look at the material from which they are sewn. After all, the curtains will hang on the windows for a long time and it is best to choose natural fabrics:
- They "breathe" and allow you to enjoy your vacation to the fullest. The best solution would be cotton, linen and silk.
- Velvet looks very beautiful and gives comfort. But such curtains need to be washed more often, otherwise they accumulate a lot of dust in themselves.
The main rule in the question of how to choose the right curtains in the bedroom is that you should not save on material. Otherwise, allergic reactions to synthetics can occur and, moreover, such curtains are constantly electrified.
How to sew DIY curtains for the bedroom
It would be logical to think not only about buying ready-made curtains, but also about how to sew beautiful curtains with your own hands. You need a little for this: a good video of the master class, a few photos of examples to determine the direction, a little desire, patience and perseverance. After all, independent work is much more interesting.
Of course, many can object, they say, there is no time, experience and other things. But it all depends on desire. Moreover, in the stores of fabrics and accessories, you can pick up stunning materials so that it is your bedroom that has changed, become unusual, elegant and beautiful.
Where to begin?
Have you decided to sew? Start with the main thing - having a sewing machine. If it is, everything else is only a matter of time and perseverance. Well, and if not so literally, then we will begin with the choice of style. You cannot decide how to sew without knowing what to sew. It is best to start with a simpler model, without any different draperies. But look through the bedroom.
Simple, comfortable, in a modern direction
These are the majority of the bedrooms that are now. Of course, you can find more than one example of hi-tech, loft, disco, but most of the rooms are still made in a classic with a touch of modernism or provence. Hence the chosen direction of the curtains. We will not describe too complex “designs” because they can discourage sewing altogether.
But the main thing for us is that the design should be done with our own hands, with love and positive emotions. So, we take as a basis direct curtains hanging on the sides in combination with one large cut, it can be a tulle or a lighter curtain. Such a cut will be uncomplicated in execution, but at the same time it will become a beautiful window design.
If you decide to sit down for sewing curtains for the first time, choose a natural dense fabric. Ideally, flax or thick cotton. The fact is that it will be more difficult to work with “stretching” examples, you can get curved seams, uneven folds and a not very neat look.
To start, we make patterns. Direct curtains assume simple shapes, cut without any complex elements, the only thing that needs to be cut separately is a cuff to which rings or clothespins of the cornice will be attached.
It is desirable to make it hollow inside in the form of a pocket in case there is a cornice string. Of course, the patterns must be done after measurements. The height of the ceiling and the width of the wall, or of the window opening, are important. Here it all depends on the desired result, the size of the room and the cornice.
The cuff can be made and sewn separately, or you can wrap the fabric by sewing it on one side. By the way, ironing will be an important point. Because, having ironed the allowances before grinding, you can get a more even, accurate seam.
When creating a pattern, we also leave the necessary allowance for the seams. As for the length, it all depends on the height of the ceiling.If you want the curtains to reach the floor, then you need to more carefully measure everything, including the distance of the fabric from the cornice and the length of the rings. It’s better to make a larger allowance from the bottom in case you get too short an option to let it go and grind it in a new way.
When everything is ready, you can start sewing. Threads should be selected under the fabric. The master class on the video will tell you even more nuances that will help make the job easier.
In order to make the sewing process easier, it is necessary to properly equip the workplace. For this, of course, a wide table is suitable, on which you can conveniently place the machine and fabric. Another important point will be a sufficient amount of light.
To do this, it is better not to use classic incandescent lamps with a "yellow" light. But the daylight lamps will be much better, as a result, the work will become more productive.
Hinges for cornice
It is best to immediately identify the places where they will be located. If the fabric is dark, you can use a piece of chalk or dry soap, if light, a simple pencil is suitable for marking. All this is easily washed off during washing, leaves no residue and does not spoil the fabric.
Marks need to be done with a certain step. If you plan to assemble curtains or a larger tulle, you should take steps based on this. For example, for small folds, a step of 3-5 cm is suitable, for larger ones you can also make 10 cm. But be sure to look at the fabric so that it is harmonious on the ledge, and not sag at the base.
Also, for even folds on the cuff, you can make a vertical stitch, but at the same time, it is worth making an allowance so that there is room for a cornice string. The distance from the top for the loops should not be too large, 2 cm will be enough.
The loops themselves can be made with your own hands (made of fabric), or you can buy them; hooks are sold in hardware stores. Also, in some sewing machines there is a special function that allows you to make loops of thread. They can also be used.
