Description of curtains mesh
Designers distinguish between coarse mesh curtains and fine mesh curtains. The mesh of the net can be of any size - from variants of a fishing net to muslin or organza with a small mesh.
The mesh is complemented on the window by any kind of curtains - blinds, Roman, classic curtains.
Advantages and disadvantages of such curtains
If the choice of curtains is difficult, the most correct decision is to choose a mesh curtain.
This element has many advantages:
- The mesh allows air to pass through well, so there is no need to open the curtains when the window is open. The mesh also promotes good heat transfer from the battery.
- The mesh material is very plastic, always responds well to different options - assembled or without folds, with knots tied at the bottom or assembled to hold it.
- The curtain diffuses light well, but does not prevent it from entering the room. This is especially true for small or dark rooms.
- A fine mesh serves as protection against insects entering from an open window.
- Dries very quickly after washing, does not require ironing and steaming.
- The curtain retains its shape well, does not stretch or shrink.
There is only one conditional drawback with this type of curtain: due to its loose cellular structure, the curtain will attract dust, which easily settles in the weaves of the fabric. This curtain will have to be washed more often than smooth tulle.
Note! This is a relative minus, because ironing is not required, and even after repeated washings it will look like new.
Consequently, this drawback can be ignored, but only properly care for the thing.
What are
Mesh curtains vary in mesh size, thread characteristics and color. Some types of mesh curtains are very popular with designers and housewives:
- The French curtain looks like a crocheted one. The cell size may vary. The mesh can be smooth or embossed.

- The striped mesh has a geometric pattern and strictness of lines, which is good in the style of classic, high-tech, loft or grunge.
- A large, or fishing net, is a great addition to any décor. As an independent element, it is almost never used, but it goes well with all other types of curtains.
You can also find a net made of natural threads, but it is significantly inferior in its characteristics to synthetic products, which do not lose their shape, almost do not fade, and dry quickly after washing.
Combined versions of nets are also known, when an ornament or broaches made of natural threads are applied to a synthetic base. Most often, the fabrics on such curtains are 100% synthetic, but imitate natural linen or jute.
Coarse mesh
A mesh curtain with a large mesh structure is well suited for rooms with a rustic look. Most often it is chosen for the kitchen or zoning - the curtain diffuses light, and at the same time does not interfere with the view and ventilation of the air.
A very large, giant mesh mesh ("fishing") is suitable for decorating a room in a nautical or Mediterranean style.
Embroidered mesh
Beautiful mesh curtains with embroidery will create airiness and romance. Such elements will add lightness and space if used in white or ivory.
The embroidery theme can be different - volumetric large elements of flowers ("Damascus"), geometric shapes on a mesh field, and an ornament in the style of frosty patterns on glass, and small repeating elements.

How to choose the right one
Most often, mesh curtain options are chosen for the kitchen, dining room and balconies - where you need good natural light during the day.
A simple mesh is suitable for strict designs, minimalism and classic, but in combination with other curtains, it can be successfully entered into almost any interior style.
When choosing curtains, you need to pay attention to the composition of the threads, because the weaving of natural materials looks beautiful in the bedroom or living room, but it is very impractical in the kitchen - the curtains get dirty faster, they can shrink during washing and lose their appearance.
When choosing mesh curtains, you should also think carefully about their fastening. Successful photos of placing curtains on various eaves can be viewed on the Internet.
How to hang
Some place a mesh with well-defined cells on the cornice without loops, putting the cells on curtain hooks. This should not be done, since the material is very plastic, and the gaps between the hooks hang down strongly, while the loop cells stretch out, creating a sloppy image on the window.
A mesh curtain with any cell size should have a special curtain tape with loops on the top bar, which holds the upper frame of the curtain well, giving it a neat look.
- Mesh eyelets are not used due to its loose structure.Eyelets can be used when the net has a very fine mesh, smooth structure, as well as in combined types of curtains, when the upper edge is made of wide fabric edging, which allows you to put on rings.
- Mesh curtains work well on wooden eaves and rings - perfect for rustic country or Provence rooms.
- Floor-length mesh curtains without eaves are perfect for high-tech, grunge, pop art, loft designs.
Note! In any large room, a mesh curtain will perfectly zone the space. Mesh material is also good for curtains on doorways and arches.
Interior use
From the photo of the curtains of the nets in the interiors, you can make your own composition, which is well suited for a specific room. Photos will also help you choose additional elements for decorating the window, the color of future curtains and its combination with accessories and room decoration.
Halls
In the hall, the decor should be solemn, ready to receive guests, therefore, the decor elements of the room should be representative and elegant. Choosing a simple mesh can make a room boring, so designers are advised to pay attention to options for decorative materials with sequins, beads, beads, silver or golden threads.
Keep in mind! The color of the jewelry should match the color of the interior accessories. For example, silver threads or beads on the curtain match chrome-plated furniture handles and cornice, and golden ones - for accessories in gold.
Living room
Elegant options for mesh curtains are also chosen for the living room. Snow-white or cream curtains are always relevant, but sometimes colored ones are shown.
In extraordinary, cheerful interiors, a rainbow curtain made of mesh also looks good, or separate strips of curtains of different colors on one cornice, tied with knots at the bottom.
The modern trend is mesh curtains fixed over the curtains. This allows you to achieve a play of shades and breaks too dark color of blackout curtains.
Bedrooms
In the bedroom, a mesh with embroidery or horizontal stripes looks very gentle and romantic.
In stores, you can find voluminous and even fluffy options for nets that will create a soft cloud on the window.
A bedroom is a room where twilight and additional protection from prying eyes are needed, so the mesh on the window is supplemented with dense curtains fixed over the mesh.
Kitchens
In the kitchen, the mesh serves as both a window decoration and a curtain that breaks direct sunlight. In addition, the mesh does not impede air ventilation, which is important in a room where the window is often opened.
The only condition is that the curtain should still be short, to the windowsill or slightly lower, like most kitchen curtains. For easy sliding to the side, such a curtain is hung on a cornice with rings or eyelets (in combined versions of curtains).
Children's room
It is better to place a colored grid on the window in the room for the child, which looks bright and fun, does not obstruct the view from the window and leaves visible the window sill, on which children often place an exposition of toys or crafts.
Since the mesh does not darken the room, curtains that match the mesh or contrast with it are necessary for the dark time of the day, depending on the design of the room.
Note! In small children's curtains, it is better to choose short ones, just below the windowsill, so that they do not interfere with the child's games.
The mesh curtain is easy to maintain, yet it is an integral part of modern room décor.Mesh on windows can be simple and laconic, or it can be with shiny, shimmery elements and embroidery. But in any case, a properly selected mesh curtain will perfectly fit into the style of the room, giving it airiness and elegance.
