Curtains are an important decorative element that helps create coziness and decorate the room.

However, due to some mistakes, curtains can, on the contrary, only spoil the interior.

Yulia Tychino, an expert on interior design and interior design, explained what mistakes are best avoided when choosing them.

Wrong size

Incorrect calculation of the length and width of curtains is one of the common mistakes.

For example, curtains that are too short look ridiculous and disrupt the proportions.

But long curtains will lie on the floor, creating inconvenience, especially during cleaning.

In addition, it is important to choose the right width of the curtains. If they are too narrow, there will be a gap when you close the curtains.

Incorrect density

Curtains should also be functional. One of their tasks is to protect from bright light.

Therefore, it is worth paying attention not only to their color and appearance, but also to their density.

This point is especially important to consider when choosing curtains for a child’s room or bedroom.

But for the kitchen or living room you can choose light-diffusing curtains.

Saving on quality

This is also an important point that should not be ignored. It is advisable to choose high-quality textiles.

Otherwise, the curtains, for example, will not drape well.

In addition, they can spoil the impression of even the most stylish interior, giving it a sloppy look.

Wrong color

Curtains will look harmonious if you choose their shade correctly.

So, it is necessary to take into account that textiles and walls should not merge. There should be a difference of at least one tone between them.

Also, don't get carried away with patterns and various ornaments. Their quantity should be moderate.
