Interior design tips for the living room with pictures – curtains!

Are you trying to get started with decorating the living room with curtains? Great! The first thing you need to do to kickstart the process is actually not to browse through various design magazines Or to scroll through Instagram looking for beautiful pictures. No, the focus is actually on figuring out what you need the curtains for. Ask yourself what functions they must have: blackout? privacy? Or primarily aesthetically pleasing? Also, complete the questionnaire by answering the following:

1. How many patterns should you have? The term ‘patterns’ refers to the amount of fabric intended for one side of the window. Therefore, you will need two or more ‘patterns,’ depending on how your window is designed and how you want to construct the curtain.
2. Whichcurtian fabric do you have in mind? Velvet feels more noticeably luxurious, while linen is often perceived as more natural and minimalist 

Speaking of panels and materials, they go hand in hand. You can actually work with two layers of curtains in different materials: a thinner one and a heavier one. It’s an interior design trend that has gained more and more ground in Swedish living roomslately, when you hang curtains, you should also consider that you are affecting the perceived space of the living room. If the curtains are placed as high up on the wall as possible, preferably at the ceiling or just below the cornice, visitors get the impression that the ceiling height is higher. Similarly, it works in terms of width: properly extending the curtains on the sides of the window elongates the living room.

Color coordination is one of the favorite branches of interior enthusiasts. So, how do you succeed with the shades in the living room? The secret lies in glancing at the sofa and the rug – and choosing a shade for the curtain that matches them. The worst misstep is trying to find the exact same color.The most common outcome of such an effort is that it resembles a decent attempt at good matching, but it just looks forced. So, what to do? Choose tones that you believe can go well with the other major.furniture pieces in the living room, or even the walls – either by going tone-on-tone or by contrasting with curtains in a completely different color.
