In this article we will look at all the fashion trends in the design of modern curtains for the hall, and also provide many visual photos with examples.

Curtains and tulle

Tulle and curtains have long remained the most popular tandem for decorating window openings in the halls.

This year it is fashionable to hang two-color curtains. In fact, such curtains are simply sewn from fabric of two different colors. Due to this method of sewing, it seems that some curtains are layered on top of others. It looks beautiful and stylish.

Light, airy, translucent daytime curtains are made from tulle. They soften sunlight, make it more comfortable for the eyes and create a cozy atmosphere in the room.

Thick curtains completely shade the room. They emphasize the style of the interior and add completeness to the atmosphere.

The choice of fabrics for them is very wide and new varieties of textures and colors are constantly appearing.

In addition, both tulle and curtains can be draped in different ways and combined with lambrequins and curtain accessories.

By experimenting with the choice of fabrics, cut, draperies and finishing, you can always find a model that suits any interior style, from salon to avant-garde. load, or can be large and even contrasting with the color of the curtain.

Curtains in the “colorblock” style look interesting, that is, combining fabric of two colors sewn horizontally. Using this technique, you can make fashionable and modern curtains for the hall even from the simplest material.

Of the methods recommended by designers today for decorating windows in the living room with tulle and curtains, several deserve special attention:

The emphasis is on the curtains. They are sewn from fabric of rich colors, draped lushly, combined with a lambrequin, and decorated with tassels and fringe. These decorative techniques do not have to be applied all at once. One or two of them are enough. Tulle serves as a background, emphasizing the beauty of the main curtains. It is sewn from pale fabric to match the curtains and is not decorated with anything.
The emphasis is on tulle. In this case, the design of the curtains is chosen exactly the opposite: the curtains are sewn from eye-catching fabric, gathered into lush folds and decorated with curtain accessories. The curtains for them are chosen in pale pastel colors and simple shapes.
If the windows of the hall face the shady side, they can be decorated only with tulle. The ideal option is tulle with photo printing made of smooth transparent natural fabric of dense weaving: silk, chiffon, organza. Photo curtains do not need elaborate draperies, lambrequins and decorations. You can find a suitable image for any interior style: buy ready-made curtains or order them from an individual design studio.

Curtains with eyelets

There are many different ways to attach curtains and tulle to the cornice: curtain tapes, drawstrings, loops, ties, clothespins with rings, but the most fashionable recently is eyelets.

Curtains with eyelets are perfect for a modern-style room.

Eyelets are small plastic or metal rings inserted into holes cut into the top of the curtains. Thanks to them, identical, even, flowing folds are formed on the curtains. The greater the distance between the rings, the deeper the folds. This mount is only suitable for round cornices and looks very neat and modern.

Curtains with eyelets can be attached to the curtain rod in two ways: stringed through the holes in the rings or hung on hooks attached to them or ties threaded through them. The size of the eyelets depends on the diameter of the cornice. They can be barely noticeable and serve only a functional purpose.

Curtains with lambrequin

Lambrequin is a narrow decorative fabric drapery located at the top of the curtain ensemble across the entire width of the cornice. Initially, only drapes and curtains were complemented with such draperies. But today multi-layering is in fashion and any curtains can be combined with a lambrequin.

Lambrequins allow you to decorate a window in an original and stylish way, give the curtains a luxurious and finished appearance and make the atmosphere in the room more comfortable. In addition, they help to visually smooth out uneven ceilings and hide minor imperfections in window openings.

The photo shows an example of how you can beautifully decorate a window with curtains with a lambrequin even in a modern hall interior.

Conventionally, they can be divided into several types:

Classic soft. Sections of soft flowing fabric, in the form of throws or draped in any other way using braid or tiebacks. They can be simple, made from one piece of fabric, or complex, made up of several parts.
Bando. A smooth, wrinkle-free lambrequin made of fabric fixed on a dense self-adhesive base, for example, non-woven fabric. Its lower edge can be straight (then the lambrequin will look like a narrow strip of fabric) or cut in any arbitrary shape.
Openwork. A rigid lambrequin with an end-to-end openwork pattern cut out across its entire surface using a laser.
Lambrequins are puffs. Solid fabric sheets, single-layer, or folded in 2-3 layers and originally laced with braid or decorative cords.
Combined. Lambrequins, consisting of several parts, typical for hard and soft models. For example, a simple rectangular bandeau with soft draperies hanging along the edges.

For modern interiors, curtains with a rigid lambrequin are best suited.

Today it is fashionable to combine any type of curtain with lambrequins. Let's look at some modern ideas:

A lush classic lambrequin will give the appearance of curtains and curtains gloss and status.
A lambrequin in the form of a crossover will soften and make the strict straight lines of Roman curtains and horizontal blinds less official.
A bandeau in the form of an elongated narrow rectangle will emphasize the smooth soft shapes of Austrian and French curtains.
An openwork lambrequin with a fancy ornament in combination with vertical fabric blinds will create the effect of perspective and depth of space outside the window.

For each type of curtain you can find your own lambrequin model. Together they will help create a unique and one-of-a-kind interior.

Combination of long curtains with short ones

Games with room space are at the height of fashion. By combining short and long curtains, designers achieve the effect of expanding the space.

Current ideas:

Raised Roman blinds are combined with side curtains, curtains, and tulle. For a room with a balcony, this option is preferable.
Austrian curtains with lush folds, raised and secured with ribbons, can be combined with flowing fabrics and tulle.
Roller blinds covering the center of a window or balcony door are combined with side curtains and curtains.

Roman curtains

Roman blinds are a type of lifting curtains. They have a simple rectangular shape; when assembled, they form smooth horizontal folds, which are obtained thanks to plastic and wooden slats sewn to their reverse side.

The photo shows an example of how you can combine Roman blinds and classic curtains so that they look beautiful in a modern interior.

Designers love Roman blinds for their versatility. They can be sewn from fabric of any texture and color. This means that Roman blinds can be used both as drapes and as curtains, and you can find a suitable model for every situation.

Even if it does not fit very harmoniously into the interior, it can always be combined with another model of window curtains.

For the classic interior of a hall, dense fabrics such as velvet, jacquard, brocade, and tapestry are usually chosen. Roman blinds made from them are combined with curtains made of tulle, veil, light silk or organza.

For a room in a minimalist style, designers recommend Roman blinds made of plain fabric or with vertical stripes. The alternation of dark and light stripes looks especially impressive on wide windows.

For a hall in Japanese or ecological styles, Roman blinds made of bamboo or straw can be an excellent solution. And to soften their strict forms, they can be complemented with light colorless tulle suspended from the ceiling string cornice.

Interiors in a rustic style, such as English shabby chic, French Provence and American country, will be decorated with Roman curtains with a floral print or a check made of linen or thick cotton. True, this season small prints are not welcome, so it is better to choose larger flowers and plaids. Due to the fact that the folds on Roman curtain models are even and sparse, they do not distort the design.

For a small room with little daylight, Roman blinds made of light, light-colored fabric are best suited. They will not visually burden a small room and will not attract unnecessary attention. If you complement such light curtains with transparent curtains, the room will look even more fresh and airy.

Thus, you can find your own Roman blinds for any interior. But since their shape remains unchanged, you won’t be able to experiment with it. Therefore, you can harmoniously fit them into the decor only by choosing models from fabrics of different textures and colors.

Beautiful curtains for the bedroom

The bedroom is the place in the house where we gain strength and relax, and curtains for the bedroom should be extremely laconic, calm and sophisticated.

There are a lot of variations of curtains for the bedroom - thread, roller, curtains, thick and transparent, Roman style, Italian curtains, multi-tiered and many others.

The choice of curtains for the bedroom will also be determined by your need to regulate the amount of daylight entering the room and the functionality of the curtains themselves, which will determine the type of curtains for your bedroom.

It is better to choose the color scheme of curtains for the bedroom in a calm palette - beige, cream, chocolate, white, black, gray and pastel shades, which would contribute to a comfortable and relaxing stay in the bedroom.

You can choose curtains with an unobtrusive and calm print if it fits harmoniously into the bedroom interior, for example, floral and floral patterns in the Provence style.

For a modern interior, fashionable curtains made of light and flowing textures in a monochrome design are suitable, and for a classic interior - made of brocade or velvet.

The best options for curtains for the 2021-2022 season are demonstrated in the photos selected in the gallery below.

Austrian curtains

Austrian curtains are the only model of lifting curtains with a romantic character, emphasized by elegant draperies. The exception is French marquises. But still, their classic version implies static, and they began to be equipped with lifting controls only recently.

“Austrians” are draped only in the lower part of the canvas, so the folds on them do not look lush and pompous. This season they are sewn mainly from soft natural fabrics in delicate colors with floral prints: thin linen, chintz, tulle, organza in delicate pastel colors and decorated with bows, braid, lace, curtain pins in the shape of flowers and butterflies.

Austrian models can also be made from a delicate veil or organza and combined with classic long curtains. And can be used as main curtains.

It’s impossible to say unequivocally that Austrian curtains are suitable for any interior. Their naive "Peisan" character fits best with classic rustic styles:

For English shabby chic, “Austrian” ones made of plain cotton or silk in whitish pastel shades are suitable.
For French Provence, it is better to sew them from thick cotton or linen with delicate pink or blue flowers.
For Austrian curtains in a room decorated in American country style, choose satin or cotton with small checks or stripes.

The shading that such fabrics create is usually sufficient for a hall. Therefore, it is possible, but not necessary, to combine curtains made from them with other curtains.

Modern curtains for the living room

A modern hall is usually decorated in the same style. Modern curtains can be very simple, but with massive curtains or, on the contrary, made in the Art Nouveau style.

Modern style is not afraid to experiment with shapes, colors and decorative elements.

As an option for modern curtains, you can choose curtains with eyelets. They look very good and allow you to focus attention either on yourself or on other pieces of furniture. Curtains can also be French, roller, Austrian or Roman.

Japanese fabric panels

Japanese panels are sliding curtains consisting of rectangular, rigidly stretched fabric panels. Outwardly, they resemble wardrobe doors and move in a horizontal plane according to the same principle. The tension of the canvases is ensured by a weight bar threaded through the drawstring in their lower part.

Despite their ascetic appearance, Japanese curtains are able to create in the room no less cozy and comfortable atmosphere than curtains with lush draperies. Moreover, their length can be either up to the window sill or to the floor. The latter option is preferable for the hall.

The light-protective properties of Japanese curtains depend on their density. At the same time, you can choose any fabric for them: natural, synthetic, thick, transparent, colored, plain, with photo printing. The choice depends on what role you assign to them in the interior. Does your room need complete shading or does it need curtains that only slightly soften the daylight? Will they be its main accent or are they intended to create a backdrop for the decor?

Fashion trends for Japanese curtains are as follows:

A combination of fabrics of different densities on one cornice, for example, translucent and dense silk. In this case, dense panels play the role of curtains, and translucent curtains.
If the size of the window allows, then up to 10 canvases of different colors and textures can be placed in front of it. By moving them along the cornice, arranging them in a row, one after another or overlapping, you can endlessly play with light, shadow and color.
One of the latest fashion trends is photo curtains. Since Japanese models are shaped like canvas stretched over a frame, they are ideal for photo printing. You can put any image on them and create a unique, individual interior in the room.

When decorating a room with Japanese curtains, do not forget that they are best suited for minimalist interiors, such as Japanese, hi-tech, minimalism, and modern classics. In order to harmoniously fit laconic fabric panels into lush and romantic interiors, they will have to be combined with curtains, tulle or muslin.

Roller blinds

Recently, modern curtains for the hall have been replenished with another interesting and practical variety - roller blinds or roller shutters. Such a curtain is a piece of fabric that is wound on a shaft installed in a window opening or directly on the window sashes. In the first case, when lowered, it covers the window completely along with the window sill, and in the second, only the glass.

Such curtains are especially suitable for people who love laconicism in their interiors. Initially, they were used to decorate windows mainly in the kitchen and bathroom, and for other rooms they were considered too simple. But today, when non-standard solutions are in fashion and many people are already quite fed up with traditional curtains, roller blinds are used in all residential premises. And to make the appearance of roller blinds less official, they are combined with other types of curtains.

Modern ideas in the field of interior design make it possible to use roller blinds in any interior style:

In a high-tech room, roller shutters in the color of wet asphalt, as well as black or white, look great.
Roller blinds in pale shades, with only a hint of color, are suitable for the minimalist style.
For a Japanese-style room, choose curtains made from fabrics in natural colors, brown, green, and bamboo.
Roller blinds in bright colors fit best into avant-garde interior styles such as modern and pop art. The main thing is not to forget to support them with other elements of the same color: upholstery on furniture, decorative pillows.
For classic interiors, roller shutters alone will not be enough. Thick roller blinds will have to be supplemented with tulle, and roller blinds made of transparent fabric with curtains.

Particularly popular are day-night roller blinds, which differ from conventional roller blinds in their ability to dose the natural light entering the room. Day-night curtains are made of two layers of fabric of different textures, consisting of alternating dense and transparent stripes. In the closed position they look like a single canvas, and in the open position they form gaps and let in the sun's rays.

Kisey or thread curtains

Kisey - curtains made of dense rows of threads or ribbons. They are very decorative, flexible, easy to drape, look great as an independent window decoration and can also be easily combined with other types of curtains.

Despite their airy structure, thread curtains are quite capable of creating sufficient shading for rooms that do not need 100% protection from sunlight. Therefore, it is not surprising that designers are increasingly using them when decorating rooms.

The word muslin hides a huge number of curtains, very different in color and texture, but they can be conditionally divided into two types: simple and with solid decorative elements.

Simple muslin consists of twisted cotton, chenille or silk threads, plain or multi-colored. Kisey with solid decorative elements is the same simple threads, but decorated with glass beads, beads, sequins, shells, artificial butterflies or flowers.

For classic interiors, muslin in delicate pastel shades, playing the role of curtains, is best suited.

In addition, in almost all interiors, thread curtains look very impressive when hung over long curtains and beautifully draped.
