Housewives are not always able to express their design talent when decorating the kitchen. Here the footage of the room is of great importance, which limits the flight of imagination. The most important thing in the kitchen is not beauty, but safety.

In this case, blinds or roller blinds are more suitable. In both cases, you will have to abandon the tulle that has become familiar. It is he who most often suffers from proximity to the stove.

Natural fibers absorb odor better, but getting rid of it is very difficult.

The kitchen, the room in which the hearth is located, remains the main place in the house for us. That’s why it’s so important to make it cozy and attractive. To do this, you have to follow fashionable interior trends, in which curtains play an important role. We invite you not to stand aside and familiarize yourself with the selection of curtains for the kitchen.
When creating an interior, the saying “my home, my rules” today becomes the basis of design ideas. But in pursuit of self-realization, you should not completely neglect fashion trends.
It must be remembered that not every curtain is perceived modern kitchen adequately. This and next year, style solutions for window decoration gravitate towards simple and laconic forms, and practicality strengthens its position.
Pretentious, heavily accessorized curtains, especially when we're talking about about such a working space as the kitchen fades into the background. You will see exactly what changes the design of kitchen curtains and their new items have undergone in our photo selection.
Straight curtains with tulle are a timeless classic. It is quite diverse and is not limited to sets of two curtains (one for each half of the window) and one curtain.
Modern classic curtains for the kitchen they can be with grommets, with or without a lambrequin, of different lengths, and also made specifically for windows with a balcony door. Let's look at them all in more detail.
In the photo there is a fashionable novelty - elegant elongated curtains.
Classic curtains and tulle. Long thick curtains or light floor-length curtains in combination with tulle have always been popular and, most likely, will remain so for a very long time. When choosing them for the kitchen, it is advisable to follow several rules:
If we talk about color combinations, then snow-white curtains or curtains with a slight shade in the color of the curtains (matte or with a slight sheen) remain the most win-win and simplest option.
The kitchen is one of the few places in the house where curtains play a mainly decorative function, so windows decorated only with tulle are still in trend here. This solution is especially relevant for small rooms.
Airy tulle curtains will create a warm, cozy atmosphere, will not interfere with light flows and will not “eat up” the space. And in order to hang them beautifully, there are many ways: one curtain for the entire window, two crossed ones, a long curtain slung over the cornice.
Curtains with eyelets. Curtains, in the upper part of which there are holes cut, framed by metal or plastic rings (eyelets), allowing the curtains to be conveniently and firmly secured to the curtain rod, are only becoming more popular from year to year.
They are positioned so that when assembled, the panels of fabric fall from the cornice in even vertical folds. Eyelets visually enhance curtains, give them sophisticated elegance and do not require additional decorations, since they themselves are not only fasteners, but also a decorative element.
The photo shows modern curtains for the kitchen made of translucent organza. Eyelets create beautiful deep folds.
Stylistically, curtains with eyelets for the kitchen are universal. They can be long or short, made of light or curtain fabric, plain or patterned.
You can choose any interior style: strict classics, avant-garde high-tech, warm Provence, naive shabby chic, romantic country suitable option. It should be taken into account that although curtains with grommet fastening do not require additional decorations, original, interior-appropriate finials on the cornice are not only acceptable for them, but even encouraged.
Curtains with lambrequin. Lambrequin - horizontal drapery framing top part curtains There are almost more varieties of lambrequins than types of curtains, but this year designers recommend using only a few of them. It is better to make a choice in favor of the following models:
Soft draperies made of light light fabric in the form of a short curtain that covers only the upper third of the window in the form of a swag, half-swag or a scarf thrown over the cornice. It’s better to forget about complex options consisting of several parts: frills, ties, bells.
As noted above, pretentiousness is not welcome this season, so massive lambrequins with fringe and tassels will also have to be abandoned.
Rigid lambrequins on gangs also remain popular. They should be laconic, made in the form of a narrow strip or a small triangle, as well as with an arched or figured lower edge. The fabric for sewing a rigid lambrequin is the same as for curtains, but in principle it can be anything.
For a kitchen with an interior that tends towards luxury, you can choose an openwork lambrequin made using the laser cutting - an ideal alternative a regular lambrequin on a bandeau. With it, the window will look elegant and sophisticated.
Straight curtains and tulle for a window with a balcony door. From an economic point of view, a kitchen with access to a balcony is very convenient, but due to the asymmetry of the window-balcony opening, it requires a special design solution. In addition, the balcony door in most cases opens inward, and regular curtains they will constantly cling to her.
This season, designers propose to design a window with a balcony as follows.
One wide long panel with a pick-up on the window side. During the day, such a curtain is gathered into a tieback, and at night it is opened and the entire opening is covered. In this case, moving the curtains away from the center of the cornice is only welcome, since decorating a window combined with a balcony implies asymmetry, which allows you to freely open and close the door.
Another option is two curtains with tiebacks. A floor-length curtain is hung on the balcony door, and the length of the curtain on the window depends on how the window sill and the space under it are used. During the day, such curtains are always gathered up.
Multi-layering is also on trend this season. So, you can hang bias-cut tulle on the window (the short side is near the balcony door, and the long side goes down to the window sill), and long narrow tulle and a thick curtain on the door. In this case, the cornice will have to be moved forward 5-7 centimeters more than usual. During the day, the curtain remains open and does not interfere with the use of the balcony door, and at night it can be closed completely.
Straight short curtains. Shortened curtains in the kitchen are primarily practical. And practicality in the interior, as has been said more than once, has come to the fore this season. These are especially relevant in cases where work surfaces or a dining table are located in the window opening area.
The most relevant in the 2019 season for the kitchen are:
These are lifting curtains, the adjustment of which is carried out using a special manual or electric mechanism that collects the curtains into even parallel folds.
Their laconic design gives the interior strict elegance and is fully consistent with the main fashion trend of the seasons, focused on simplicity and ergonomics.
Suitable for all interior styles, since they can be hung not only on their own, but also combined with tulle, horizontal blinds or straight curtains.
If the kitchen is not overcrowded with decor and is decorated in calm, soft colors, designers advise creating color accents on such curtains and making them the main accessory in the interior.
Recently, it has become fashionable to hang a frameless Roman blind on one window on top of a framed Roman blind.
The second differs from the first in that its design does not have slats that support the strict geometric shape of the horizontal folds. Because of this, frameless models of Roman blinds gather in soft folds, and their edges hang with “ears”, like a lambrequin. This double window design looks especially good when the curtains are made from partner fabrics: plain and patterned.
Austrian curtains also belong to the lifting category and combine the practicality of Roman curtains and the sophistication of French models. They are usually raised two-thirds the height of the window.
In a raised position, smooth horizontal folds are formed on Austrian models. But most often the “Austrians” leave them feeling upbeat. Sometimes, in combination with tulle or curtains, such curtains serve as a lambrequin. But since the “Austrians” are very decorative in themselves, they are usually enough alone in the kitchen.
Kitchen interiors this season gravitate towards naturalness, lightness, airiness and an abundance of light. Therefore, Austrian curtains made of thick fabric are not welcome. For them, choose fabrics that are easier to form smooth, lush folds: cotton tulle, taffeta, loose silk, linen.
Austrian models are suitable only for romantic and classic interiors. They are “contraindicated” for styles such as hi-tech, loft or classic 60s.
Classic French curtains descend from ceiling to floor in numerous scalloped rows. At the same time, they are stationary - they do not move apart and do not rise up.
Naturally, such a model is not acceptable for the kitchen, and in this room today modernized, lift-up, window-sill-length versions of “French women” are used.
French curtains are appropriate in classic romantic styles and, like Austrian models, do not tolerate brutal and laconic style solutions.
The fabrics used for them are natural, light, translucent, well draped, mainly white or with a light touch of some shade of the pastel palette.
In a small kitchen, “French” ones will look too bulky and “bulge out”.
This solution is ideal for a spacious kitchen-dining room with large, tall windows. It should be borne in mind that dust and fumes quickly accumulate in the abundant folds, so a kitchen with such curtains must be equipped with a hood.
Curtains made of threads, falling like a waterfall from the cornice, seem to be specially created for the kitchen.
They are beautiful, practical (they do not get dirty, do not absorb water and greasy fumes, are easy to wash), allow you to easily use the balcony door, allow air and light to pass through and, despite their ephemerality, effectively protect inner space from prying eyes from the street.
These universal curtains have another useful property for the kitchen: with their help it is convenient to divide the space into zones.
Depending on the color and material of the threads, muslin can fit into any interior style from strict to romantic. As a window decoration, it is completely self-sufficient, but if necessary, it is not forbidden to combine it with curtains, tulle or horizontal blinds.
The photo shows a combination of classic curtains with muslin.
Kiseya perfectly accepts any curtain decorations: hairpins, tassels, bows, butterflies, beads, flowers made from ribbons and fabric. But since simplicity and conciseness are welcomed in the kitchen this season, when using muslin, designers advise limiting yourself to experiments with color combinations and thread textures.
And if you want without special effort To change the design of window decoration, just drape such curtains with tiebacks or cut them, which is also easy.
Winding when lifting onto a special roller fixed above the window or on the top of the window frame.
They can be made of fabric, bamboo straw or PVC. In the kitchen it is better to use the first two options. At the same time, bamboo curtains are best suited to eco- and ethnic styles, while fabric curtains can fit into any interior.
Did not have time roller curtains appear on the market, they immediately began to be considered a privilege for small kitchens, which is quite natural: they are as ergonomic as possible and effectively save square meters, “without eating up” a single extra centimeter. But this season, designers confidently declare that this type of window decoration looks great even in large spaces.
If you don’t like the asceticism of screen fabrics, you can combine them with any other curtains.
Pictured in the kitchen interior. They are very convenient as they make it possible to change the level of illumination in the room.
Roller blinds can play the role of the main color accent environment and be one of its background elements.
In the first case, they need to be “made friends” with the interior, for example, laid on a tablecloth of the same color or selected curtains to match the color of the kitchen cabinet doors. But roller blinds with photo printing look especially impressive in the kitchen - a hit for the current and future seasons.
Japanese curtains (fabric screen panels) look more like lightweight movable screens, wardrobe doors or vertical blinds than curtains. They consist of several elements: screen panels, a cornice and a control system.
The panels are rectangular fabric sheets 40-60 cm wide, rigidly stretched between two guides or using a weight strip secured along their lower edge.
Traditionally, they are sewn from natural fabrics, but in modern interiors it is possible to use synthetic materials. Most often, 2-5 panels are used on one window.
Cornice for Japanese curtains need multi-profile, wall or ceiling. In order for the panels to be used simultaneously and without restrictions, the number of tracks on the cornice must correspond to their number.
If you move the panels by hand, they will quickly become dirty. To avoid this and optimize the process, they use fabric guides or install an electronic control system that allows you to move the panels using a remote control.
There are several main points that you need to pay attention to when choosing Japanese curtains for the kitchen:
Japanese curtains are universal, suitable for many interiors, but still they cannot be used in every kitchen.
In luxurious, lush interiors with an abundance of decorative details, they get lost and look out of place. In a small kitchen, on the contrary, they can draw all the attention to themselves and visually make the space even smaller. To prevent this from happening, their colors and dimensions will have to be carefully thought out.
Japanese curtains will make a spacious kitchen or a kitchen combined with a living room with high ceilings and large windows even more voluminous and airy.
For a room in the style of Provence, country, or English classics, the design, color and size of the panels will also have to be selected very carefully. Ideal for using Japanese curtains - kitchens in the style of high-tech, minimalism, eco, Chinese and Japanese.
And in conclusion, a few basic tips to help you choose the most suitable curtains for your kitchen:
The main feature of design solutions for curtains for the kitchen this year is the variety of textures, shapes and sizes. But to create a cozy and harmonious interior, something else is needed - your personal view of what window decor should be.
It is thanks to him that the living space acquires the charm of a unique individuality. Taking the first as a basis and adding the second to it, you will definitely create a fashionable, practical, and most importantly unique interior in your kitchen, and curtains will become one of its highlights.
