Curtains - protection of modern interiors from the sun

« Back to blog

Curtains appear more and more often in modern interior arrangements. They make them cozy, even those characterized by open space and large surfaces. Made of high-quality natural materials, they are nothing like the curtains from years ago. The differences in the thickness of the fabrics, different textures and extensive colors mean that they can be easily adapted to both the function of the rooms and the design of their appearance.

Curtains, like roller blinds and shutters, primarily protect the interior from the sun. When closed, they are to reduce the temperature in the rooms and limit the harmful effects of UV rays, which can, among others, fade the colors of walls or furniture. However, their decorative function deserves special attention. The closed surface of the curtains makes the house exceptionally cozy. When exposed, they can also attract attention by creating something like a frame around the windows. In both cases, they are a decorative complement to the interior design. However, it should be remembered that even open curtains still take up quite a lot of space (compared to roller blinds / blinds), so you need to think about their color and thickness of the fabric so that they do not "overwhelm" the rooms. This is especially true for those with a smaller area.

Curtain materials and colors
The materials from which the curtains are sewn are natural, identical to those in the Roman blinds offer. Importantly, you can choose not only from a large color palette, but also the thickness of the fabrics. In this way, the curtains also acquire the function of curtains.

Functionality is an important word when choosing the method of covering the window space. The more so because larger glazing appears not only in single-family housing, but also in modern apartment designs. A well-lit interior is a place full of space and one where we really feel good. The more important it is how we protect them from too much heating in hot weather, while maintaining the style of the house / apartment decor.

The functionality of the curtains focuses primarily on the differences in the thickness of the fabrics. The offer includes transparent and translucent fabrics; Perfect for the living room (especially if it creates a large space and connects to the kitchen). Additionally, you can opt for bright colors. In this way, we will create a place full of gently muffled light. This solution will also work well in smaller rooms; a delicate fabric in combination with bright colors will not make them look less diminished or overwhelmed. In turn, in rooms where we need blackout, thick textures of materials will work. When closed, they will completely cut off the sun's rays, creating a deep shadow.

The colors of the curtain materials are very varied; We can choose from an extensive palette of light colors (from white to various shades of ecru), a whole range of pastels, dark colors (brown, navy blue, gray, black), and additionally bright, eye-catching colors (fuchsia, orange, green, etc.). In addition, the materials are characterized by a variety of textures that create various patterns.

Ways of pinning up
Beautiful, natural material and color matched to the interior design are one thing. The way the curtain fabric is fastened is equally important. It is to be arranged aesthetically after sliding / unfolding, regardless of the thickness of the fabric. Only then does the whole thing become extremely decorative.
We can choose from three ways of fastening:

For ceiling curtain rods - rings, suspenders or tapes with pockets. The rings are available in silver, satin and patina brown.
For special ceiling rails - manual or string control. Curtains on tapes with different types of fastenings.
Mikroflex - a system in which small plastic hooks (three types of fastenings) are used to arrange the material.
Since curtains are now sewn from high-quality natural fabrics, it is also ensured that they attract dirt as little as possible. Due to their antistatic properties, keeping the curtains clean and aesthetically pleasing is no longer such a big problem.
