Application in the interior (with photo, night curtains with flowers)

The appearance and the integrity of the composition depend on how correctly the multi-colored curtains are matched to the interior, style and purpose of the room.

Helpful advice: To make the choice easier, you can first take a photo of the room in which you want to pick up the curtains, and then "try on" different options for combinations of curtains and curtains, choosing the best one.

To the kitchen

For a rich kitchen interior and dark furniture, bright rainbow options in window decoration are more suitable. A thin veil made of organza or blinds, Roman shades can be combined with short thick curtains in the same color.

For high-tech or minimalist kitchens, more restrained versions of the "rainbow" will be appropriate. It is better if these are stripes of the same color, but of different tonality.

For the dining area in a large kitchen, bright options for rainbow-colored curtains are suitable. Separate strips of fabric painted in different colors are also acceptable - such curtains add mood to the room and will be good for dark windows or windows with a balcony.

If desired, the strips can be attached to the hooks on the sides of the window.

Thread or ribbon curtains are also great for the kitchen, and colors can be combined with kitchen accessories to form a single composition.
Filament curtains are also suitable for an open kitchen doorway, an arch between the kitchen and the hall, when there is a need to zone the space, to delimit the kitchen area from the rest of the territory.

Into the bedroom

Popular photos of night light curtains with flowers made a splash on the Internet. Still, such curtains create a romantic mood, and with moderate color, they do not overload the interior, but make it delicate, airy.

Night curtains should not have bright prints, silhouettes of flowers, schematic drawings of attractions, etc. will do. The flower in the drawing should not be too large.

For a sleeping room, it is better to choose a moderate tonality so that the curtains do not tire the eyes and make it easy to fall asleep at night.

In order to darken the windows, you will need additional curtains made of dense fabrics or blinds, fabric roller blinds - they can be either monochromatic or combined with one or more tones on the main curtain.

Into the hall

For the hall, classic-looking curtains will be relevant, but with stripes of different colors, better in a restrained tone.

Curtains can be matched in color with furniture or carpet, or be a separate spot in the interior.

Keep in mind! It is important not to overload the space of one room with many colored spots, otherwise the holistic perception of the interior may be violated, the room will lose its appearance and will look untidy, sloppy.

Curtains from different strips of dense fabric and organza, complementing each other, will always look original.

This choice will be correct when it comes to a fairly large room, where the curtains "play" with a combination of colors and form a harmonious installation on the windows.

To the living room

The living room is often also the dining room, which allows you to choose bright, cheerful colors for rainbow curtains. These curtains will look better with light walls and white furniture.

In discreet rooms, multi-colored curtains or blinds should be the only color spot, as they accentuate the style of the decor. In this case, the tonality of the color should be muted.

Keep in mind! For rooms in a restrained style, it is better to choose shades that are in nature - the colors of autumn leaves, wilted grass, tree bark, etc.

Despite their specificity, rainbow curtains will suit any interior design. They allow you to avoid boredom in monochrome interiors, refresh any room and give a good mood. Photos of stylish designs with rainbow curtains on the Internet will help you make the right choice.
