Design differences

There are several types of curtains, ranging from traditional sliding ones to exotic ones. If you want to decorate the window in an original way, do not deny yourself this. Even when the furnishings are classic. Curtains can become a highlight of the interior, the main thing is that the child can open and close them on their own. Types of modern curtains:

• roll;
• Japanese (panel);
• Photo curtains;
• Roman.

For a nursery, the design of which is laconic and simple, Roman blinds are the best fit. They are made without decorative details, so boys like them more. The canvas can be monochromatic and printed, the drawing - from geometric shapes to photographic images and intricate 3D-paintings. The control is carried out using a simple mechanism. As an addition, you can pick up heavy monophonic curtains.

It is advisable to arrange large windows with roller blinds. They allow you to cover the glass completely or partially, providing the necessary level of shading. Even a preschooler will easily master automatic control. Roll structures are convenient in that they make it possible to close the window just as much as is required, for example, to remove glare from the monitor or TV screen.

Japanese curtains-panels are another good solution for a boy's room. The curtain consists of several panels of the same or different colors, fixed to the cornice. They can be moved, hidden one by one, by adjusting the illumination and changing the color scheme of the window.

Such curtains do not have to be used to decorate openings; they look great as an independent design. For example, you can create an imitation of a column in the middle of a room. To do this, attach two rounded cornices to the floor and ceiling, and decorate the space between them with fabric panels, leaving an open gap for the entrance. On the windows, panel curtains are also appropriate, only thick curtains need to be selected for them, since Japanese-style models are made from thin, translucent fabrics.

By hanging photo curtains in the nursery for a boy, you can create a whole world full of adventure and magic. Textile products can be with any kind of prints, and a custom-made printed curtain will cost a little more than purchased ready-made. Caring for the photo curtain is simple: it can be machine washed using the gentle wash mode, and ironed from the seamy side... Photographic curtains made from blackout fabric not only create shading and decorate the window, but also absorb noise. With such curtains, nothing will disturb a child's daytime sleep.

Design options

In addition to the actual piece of fabric, which is any curtain, you can also use individual decorative ornaments:

For example, the simplest solution for a little girl of preschool age is clips and any Velcro applications that can be removed and glued back in any order.

When using such decorations instead of the usual curtains, we also get an interesting toy that takes the attention and develops the child's imagination. The combination of window textiles with a night light made in the form of small built-in diodes simulating the starry sky or simply outlining a certain well-recognizable contour of a favorite character will look absolutely gorgeous.

• In the baby's bedroom, a large soft toy also looks good, as if wrapping around a curtain - most often a huge teddy bear plays this role.
• Various small decorations on curtains are not recommended for children of preschool age, but in the room of a teenage girl they will be very useful. Clasps and tassels, removable flowers and brooches will complement the decoration and make the curtain look more intricate and attractive, and full-fledged draperies will give the room a resemblance to a real tomb of a princess.
• In general, it is necessary to follow the general rule, according to which the more complex the structure to be created, the easier the fabric should be to maintain. If the interior was planned taking into account the presence of drapery, then its regular absence during washing will make the room stunningly tasteless. In addition, if the structure is complex and consists of many parts, it can take too much time and effort to disassemble and assemble it after washing.

The best for children is the choice of material

When choosing window textiles, you need to pay attention to its quality and strength. Wear-resistant fabrics painted with harmless paint are suitable for a child's bedroom

The best room solutions include:

• organza. Allows you to easily shade the room without overloading the decoration. A translucent canvas can have various overflows, be complemented by patterns and full-fledged drawings.
• satin. Thick fabric, ideal for making all types of window textiles. It can be supplemented with bright patterns, it is easy to clean.
• curtain viscose. Material with slight smoothness. Attracts with ease of washing and ironing. Practically does not wrinkle, therefore it easily retains its original appearance for a long time.
• atlas. Lightweight fabric with a smooth surface is ideal for styling. The rich colors of the canvas help to emphasize the chosen direction. It is easy to clean from dust, but it is rather difficult to remove plasticine from it.

Kiseya

Kiseya - curtains made of multi-colored or monochromatic threads, simple or decorated with solid decorative elements. The functionality of muslin and tulle is about the same. Both curtains do not cut off the daylight that enters the room through the window completely, but gently diffuse it and close the interior space from views from the street.

Together, their light-shielding properties are doubled, so tulle is perfectly combined with muslin. And if you consider that many children cannot fall asleep in a too dark room, then the combination of tulle and muslin in the nursery is sometimes quite enough even at night. With this design, the nursery will always look fresh and elegant. In addition, muslin is perfectly draped in any of the ways described above.

If we talk about muslin with solid elements, then there is a decor that was created specifically for children's rooms. It can be threads with multi-colored wooden beads, plastic flowers, emoticons, funny figures. Children like these curtains very much and create a special festive atmosphere in the nursery.

The only thing I want to warn about is that thread curtains do not need to be used in a room where children under 3 years old live. They will definitely want to play with them, and this will inevitably lead to tangled muslin and make it unattractive.

Short curtain options

Curtains for the nursery for girls can be chosen in any desired length. Short curtains are considered the safest for young people. They will not interfere with the child during games and the process of exploring the space of the room. Eliminate the possibility of injury - a small child will not be able to pull the curtain, rip off the cornice.

• French. They represent several falling sections. Forms numerous soft and elegant folds. Made of silk, tulle, satin, muslin.
• Roman. They are reminiscent of the French. When lifting, they form folds due to the sewn-in longitudinal strips.Fabrics with a light and delicate structure are suitable for them. Looks good in a classic style children's bedroom.
• Austrian. They also consist of sections. When lifting, they form semicircular horizontally arranged folds with scallops. The bottom can be decorated with lace, ruffles, gathers. Adjustable with cords.
• Rolled. Does not wrinkle. The fabric is unwound, gathering in a special cornice. These design curtains are minimalism. Good for children's bedrooms located on the sunny side. Made of dense fabric, they are able to protect from the bright sun and summer heat. Practical, easy to clean.
• Plisse. Similar to blinds, but made of fabric. They look more comfortable and elegant. Made from polyester and polyester.

Views

The classic version of curtains for a children's room is a tulle for diffusing light and a curtain made of thick fabric to close the window at night. Curtains can be supplemented with a lambrequin - this is the upper part of the curtain, usually made of thick fabric. Lambrequin is more used as a decorative element that gives the window additional expressiveness, and can hardly be functional.

A wide range of curtain fabrics allows you to make a wide variety of models. Curtains can be sewn to order of the desired style, taking into account the size of the window, which is very convenient. In this version of the window design, you can not be afraid that some structure will break during operation.

The disadvantage of the classic option is the fading of the fabric and the collection of dust on the curtains and lambrequins.

Blinds quickly won the sympathy of parents. They are made from various materials: plastic, fabric, wood, bamboo, metal. A rich color palette, a wide variety of designs and cost make this type of room design popular. Blinds are not deprived of drawbacks: they also collect dust, but if fabric curtains can be simply thrown into the washing machine, then cleaning the blinds is a long and painstaking task. Folding and sliding mechanisms break down very often - this is also a very significant drawback.

Roman blinds for a nursery - a modern window design option. They represent canvases of dense fabric that rise, if pulled by the lace, in the form of gathers from the sides. Such curtains are made from linen, cotton and other natural materials. Roman blinds can be either in the form of plain fabrics, as well as colored and patterned. An interesting version of the lifting structure makes the process of opening the window very exciting for the baby.

The disadvantage of this type of curtain should be attributed to the possibility of cleaning them only with a vacuum cleaner or assumes wet cleaning; in case of severe dirt, you will have to change the curtain to a new one. Over time, they can fade as well as regular curtains.

Roller blinds for a nursery are a stylish, ergonomic window design option. In this embodiment, the web is wound on a roller using a cord or remotely. The curtain for the roller blind is made of environmentally friendly materials that are impregnated with a solution that repels dust and dirt. Roller blinds close the window tightly and reliably protect the room from the sun. They can be both colored and printed, with unusual texture and with photo printing.

Roller blinds are expensive and may not fit into every interior.

When choosing the type of curtains, always proceed from the issues of practicality, safety and visual appeal of this or that option.

How to choose

The principle of selecting curtains for a nursery differs significantly from the selection of curtains for any other room.

For boy

Curtains for a boy's room should be practical as well as unusual.

When choosing curtains, it is very important to take into account age, taste preferences, interests of the owner of the room.

First you need to find out from the child what he would prefer to see in his room.

If there are no special preferences, then you should pay attention to the following recommendations:

Long plain curtains, which will be accentuated in the interior of the room. Colors can be both saturated and calm.

For example, green, lime color, turquoise or blue.
Avoid dark tones, as with them the room looks gloomy.
If the child loves a cartoon, you should pay attention to the curtains with the image of the characters.
They think over the design of the curtains on their own. The main thing is that they are easy to clean and do not deteriorate after washing.

For girl

Decorating a girl's bedroom is an important issue, since this is not just a bedroom, it is a place where a girl fantasizes, develops and grows. This room is tastefully decorated, as a sense of beauty is formed in childhood.

When choosing curtains, pay attention to the following features:

1. Since children in the first years of life perceive 7 colors best of all, the curtains choose exactly these shades.
2. For girls, yellow, green, and purple colors are suitable.
3. Curtains of red flowers cause aggression, which negatively affects the character of the girl.
4. Decorations are appropriate in the room, but they are hung as high as possible if the child is still small.

Age features

For small children, pastel shades are suitable, as a harmonious environment is needed. It is desirable that the curtains are made of natural material.

What is important to consider:

As they grow up, children show interest in the world around them, so the choice of curtains is stopped on the image of the alphabet, numbers or animals. Drawings should be clear, but not too bright.
When a child goes to school, it becomes an excuse to change curtains.

In this case, attention is paid to those that create protection from the sun, and also do not distract with bright colors from studying.
When a child becomes a teenager, he is given the right to choose the curtains. And then bright, extravagant colors appear in the interior.

On a window with a balcony

In this case, curtains are used in pastel shades. It is desirable that they be several shades darker than the wallpaper in the apartment. Lambrequins give a special charm, with the help of which home comfort is created.

Colors and prints

Floral prints are popular, which add zest to the interior of the room:

• roses - give the curtains lightness, as well as tenderness;
• poppies - refresh the interior of the room;
• sakura - evokes positive emotions;
• apple tree in bloom. This print refreshes the interior, makes the space of the room more spacious.

Models and design

When choosing the optimal models of window textiles, it is worth remembering the convenience of opening and closing them by the child himself. Also, one should not forget about the appearance of different types of products. The most popular options for a child's room are the following models:

For small rooms, it is better to choose fabrics with a solid color and simple weaving. In spacious rooms, a canvas with any design will look good.

Length

The dimensions of the selected canvases can change the overall appearance of the room. But also their length affects the practicality of use, care of models.

Each of these types has advantages and disadvantages:

1. Short. Do not cover the window sill and the space under it. They do not reduce the space of the room, they are easy to open and close.Small canvases accumulate much less dust (except for products with folds). Less dirty at the bottom. The optimal solution for bedrooms where the window sill is used for plants and decoration, storage of toys.
2. Long. Allows you to visually increase the height of the walls. Neatly frame the window opening. The right solution for rooms with a balcony door. They allow you to close the view of the balcony and separate the auxiliary room from the bedroom. Requires more careful maintenance. They often get dirty in the lower part, located below the level of the windowsill.

Color and print

The design of the selected textiles can be neutral or thematic. For bright rooms with finishes that include images of animals, people, figures, monochromatic models are well suited. In small rooms, it is recommended to use models without small drawings. Their color scheme should overlap with the rest of the elements in the room. For thematic design, you can select both monochromatic and stylized models. The presence of stripes, cells, zigzags will help to revive the view of the window and at the same time will not disrupt the overall appearance of the design. An excellent solution would be to choose products with a print. Full-fledged pictures can be applied to classic and Japanese curtains. For example, it can be a drawing of the sea, forest, attractions. Models with the image of the sky with clouds or maps of the starry sky can be considered universal.

Types of curtains

Roman curtains or roller blinds complement the concept of the nursery design, mask the windows, and add zest to the color and decoration.

Roman

This type of curtain is one of the most ancient ways of decorating window openings, which, thanks to modern ideas, has also become popular.

Roman curtains are a straight piece of fabric, equipped with a strip at the bottom, and vertically stitched with ribbons with rods (to secure the shape of the curtain and the operation of the lifting mechanism). There are also rings on the cords, with which the fabric can be lifted and beautiful folds formed at the top.

One of the varieties of curtains for children is cascading products, in which there are no rods, therefore, in a semi-assembled state, they turn not into folds, but into waves.

To complement this effect, natural thin materials (usually silk) are used in the manufacture of such curtains, which are smooth or textured, dense (blackout curtains to completely darken the room) or translucent, decorated with patterns or monochromatic.

Pros:

• originality;
• ease of use;
• practicality.

Roll

These curtains are a fabric that can be rolled up at the top and hidden in a cassette box.

They are fixed both to the entire window opening and to individual sashes, which is very important when the window opens.

You can choose rolled curtains from materials of varying degrees of permeability (from blackout to translucency) and all kinds of colors: black, white, rainbow coloring. The main difference is synthetics.

Product advantages:

• ease of use;
• ease of cleaning;
• the possibility of combining with traditional fabric curtains;
• providing access to the windowsill.

Expert opinion Olga Kovalenko Since 2010 I have been engaged in interior design and architectural design

The best roller blinds for the nursery window are translucent, delicate pastel shades, as they create diffused light in the room. If an impenetrable canvas is chosen, it is advisable to abandon the variegated and bright colors, it can irritate the nervous system.

Interesting ideas for modern nursery design

The design of a teenage boy's room differs significantly from traditional design options, since it does not have various decorations, ruffles and bows. Therefore, a minimum of decorative elements should be present in the interior of the room.To give the room some bright colors, it is recommended to use lambrequins with various patterns or photo prints. Also, modern styles include the use of curtains with graffiti patterns.

A room in a thematic style looks beautiful, for which curtains with special pictures are used. In this case, the theme can be different - in the form of an image of the sea, the starry sky, or with images of balls.

Choosing tulle in the boy's room

For the design of the window of a boy's room, shades of blue, blue, purple, yellow, brown are chosen. With their help, a sea interior, a traveler's room is created, cosmic motives are realized. White color is used to neutralize the environment. Lambrequin perfectly complements the tulle for the boy's room. The idea of ​​creating overlapping elements between the window and the head of the bed looks interesting. It can be a lambrequin in the form of a wave and the same wave of fabric over the bed, clouds, stars.

An older boy will appreciate the strict interior. Often, guys are attracted to high-tech, for which a light gray tulle or a curtain interspersed with metal threads is suitable. Style and functionality come first. It is better to hang the curtain on the hinges, as the guys sometimes put too much effort to open it. The loop will open but not break. A curtain for a boy's room goes well with horizontal or roller blinds.

Nuances of zoning

The high-quality design of a children's room necessarily divides it into zones. There are mainly 4 of them:

• bedroom;
• wardrobe;
• working;
• game.

The first is a place to sleep: a comfortable bed or sofa. Clothes and useful accessories for the baby (diapers, cosmetics) are in the dressing area.

The workspace includes a chair, table, stationery storage area and computer.

The play area consists of boxes with toys, comfortable poufs or armchairs, attachments.

If the child has a hobby, you can add a fifth zone: they put, for example, a piano or an easel there.

There are two types of zoning in the design of a children's room:

• Horizontal. Curtains are hung between the zones, screens and racks are placed. Or they use visual techniques for dividing space: for example, different wallpapers. Suitable for relatively large (16+ sqm) rooms
• Vertical. The sleeping place is located at the top, under it is a work table, next to it is a spacious wardrobe. The remaining space is used to create a playroom.

The choice of fabric for sewing curtains in a girl's room

The material of curtains for the nursery should be selected mainly from natural fibers that do not cause allergies. It should be easy to iron and wash, while maintaining a fresh look and color.

1. Cotton curtains are environmentally friendly because they are based on natural cotton. The curtains fit perfectly into the room with a touch of folk style. However, such curtains easily crumple and fade quickly, so it is better not to hang them on windows facing south. Conveniently suitable for teenage girls. Also, you should not use cotton curtains in the design of large and light rooms, a room decorated in this way looks too artless. Playing on contrasts will help to avoid excessive simplicity.
2. Natural silk - curtains made of it are used to decorate children's bedrooms in a classic style or in an Empire style for a boudoir. The material looks presentable, but it is expensive, does not keep the shape of the curtains and needs to be treated with care, so it is not suitable for small children. The flowing material looks beautiful and does not require luxurious drapery.
3. Linen is a suitable natural curtain fabric that can be used in any interior. The material does not fade, looks great and is able to create a comfortable environment. Slightly letting in the rays of the sun, the fabric emphasizes the structure of the curtains.These properties make it possible to use linen curtains in spacious children's rooms.
4. Veil - the material resembles organza in properties, but it is softer and less transmits sunlight, so curtains made of it are suitable for a nursery with access to the sunny side. But in a room for small children, it is better not to hang curtains from a veil, as they tear easily. This type of curtain is suitable for rooms with south-facing windows.
5. Organza is a synthetic-based material. Inexpensive, but luxurious curtains are sewn from it, which are suitable for teenagers. The fabric drapes beautifully, can create lush waves, does not wrinkle and is easy to wash.
6. Taffeta is a slightly rustling and slightly draped material. Curtains made of it are suitable for different styles, for example, classic, where the grace and airiness of the forms of the interior of a room for a girl is emphasized. But the taffeta curtains on the windows of the sunny side look especially impressive. Suitable curtains for girls 12-16 years old.
7. Tulle - curtains from it in the girl's room should be chosen in pastel colors: lilac, yellow, light green. The material, light in structure, protects from the sun and performs a decorative function. Suitable for dark and light rooms, made in different styles.
8. Polyester is a common material in the design of bedrooms for teens and children. Polyester curtains do not wrinkle, do not lose color under the influence of sunlight, are easy to wash and iron. And all kinds of colors will harmoniously decorate the girl's bedroom in any stylistic direction. Looks perfect in medium-sized rooms with south-facing windows.

Curtain accessories

A variety of accessories will help to complement the selected curtain. There are simple and stylish accessories that can give even the simplest plain canvas an original look:

• metal hooks on the walls. They allow you to easily move the canvases, revealing their central part. True, the installation of such elements is not recommended in the rooms of children under 12 years old.
• fabric grips. They allow you to carefully spread the canvases in different directions, can be supplemented with stylized decorations (mini-toys, ceramic and plastic decor).
• brushes. Of course, all children like it due to their attractive and interesting appearance. Easy to use, suitable for classic textiles.
• magnets. They allow you to quickly assemble the curtains by opening the window. Easy to operate, may have non-standard design.
• hairpins. They consist of two parts, which ensure the contraction of the canvas. Not recommended for use in toddlers' rooms.

Selection criteria

Each element of the interior of a child's room requires careful selection. You should not save time on curtains by buying at random. If you buy low-quality ones, they will become a "dust collector" and will not bring any benefit. The main criteria for the selection of quality materials for the nursery are:

Natural material

Decks at a young age react sharply to artificial, synthetic materials. Some people are diagnosed with allergies from birth, and it can be difficult to understand how it appeared in a baby. Knowing this, loving parents are trying to protect their children from the toxic effects of synthetics. Children's allergists and other specialists say that linen, cotton, silk will be the safe material for curtains in the children's room. In addition to safety, they will look nice and expensive.

Choose only natural fabrics for curtains

Quality

It is not enough to choose a natural fabric, it must be sewn so that it is easy to wash and clean it from dirt

To do this, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer's label, which indicates recommendations for washing and use. For example, if it is marked "It is forbidden to machine wash", then such a curtain is unlikely to be practical, because it is very difficult to wash it by hand

Practicality and quality of material

Fastening reliability

The task of parents when decorating a room is to arrange everything so that the child is safe. Therefore, it is definitely not worth risking the baby's health by buying a low-quality cornice. Depending on the shape of the selected cornice, you need to choose the method of fastening the curtains.

Safe curtain rod and fastening

Children's room color scheme

When choosing the color of the model, you need to take into account the overall design of the room. Shades of all interior elements should be combined with each other.

Many parents mistakenly believe that there should be as many bright colors in the children's room as possible. But the abundance of saturated, not in harmony with each other shades will tire the boy. It will be difficult for him to rest and concentrate in such a room.

It is best to use one or two saturated colors, combined with each other, and their shades. For example red, blue and cyan.

The combination of bright and neutral colors will make you feel comfortable. To decorate the window openings of a child's room for a boy, you can use one rich shade in combination with white.

According to the observation of psychologists, boys often prefer natural colors: green, blue, lavender or brick.

When choosing a dominant tone, you need to take into account the degree of illumination of the room. In dark rooms, it is better to use light-colored curtains. In a well-lit room, you can hang curtains in richer colors.

If the window is on the north side, it is better to decorate it with curtains in warm colors (orange, yellow or red). On the sunny side, canvases of cold shades (turquoise, light green or blue) look good.

Do not choose curtains the same color as the walls. Such a room will be expressionless and unattractive for a child.

If the walls are bright, the curtains should be in neutral or pastel shades. Against the background of the walls, designed in soothing colors, curtains of rich rich colors will stand out.

Bright colors must be present in the child's room. They will cheer up the boy.

Purpose of curtains

Curtains are a significant interior detail that sets the tone for the entire design. Do not think that curtains in the nursery for a boy can be any. Correctly selected textiles contribute to a good mood, performance and a good night's rest. If you look at something annoying and unsightly during the day, by the evening there will be no trace of positive emotions. A few hours is enough to feel empty and overwhelmed. But adults do not always understand that this is the case not only for them, but also for children.

The curtains for the boy's room also have a more important function - protection from sunlight during the day and from prying eyes in the morning and evening when the light is on. In addition, curtains simply decorate the window, giving the interior integrity and filling the room with an atmosphere of home comfort. Without textiles, the nursery will resemble an office, an office, a development center - anything but a child's own room. The most beautiful and modern blinds will not replace classic curtains, at best they will serve as an addition.

Accessories

The choice of curtains for the nursery is not limited to canvases alone. You can decorate and sometimes completely transform the curtains with numerous accessories that are in the catalog on the Ikea website or create with your own hands.

For example:

holders - hinges that are fixed at the window and allow you to collect curtains in folds;

hooks - accessories, thanks to which the curtains are fixed at different heights to form waves;

lambrequins - folds of fabric that mask the space between the curtains;

kugeli - volumetric hollow rings into which fabric is passed;

swagi - decorative garlands that a child can make on their own, for example, from a veil;

ribbons - strips of fabrics for creating bows, rosettes or ruffles on canvases;

fringe - addition to the lower edge of the curtains;

brushes are a decorative element that is sewn both to the bottom of the curtains and over the entire surface.

Expert opinion Olga Kovalenko Since 2010 I have been engaged in interior design and architectural design

When planning to decorate the curtains with certain accessories, it is worth remembering that too many of them will lead to an "overload" of the design and a violation of its integrity.

Design Tips

In the child's room, designers advise avoiding the use of too dark window textiles. No matter how well they protect from the sun, the overall design of such models deteriorates. It is better to give preference to colors mixed with gray (gray-blue, gray-green). The following tips will also help in decorating the bedroom:

1. Selection of simplified models. Do not overload the interior with numerous folds and different types of fabric. Two types of canvases are quite enough for modern stylization.
2. Correspondence of the chosen color to the general design. The shades of the fabric should be traced in the rest of the textiles, furniture upholstery, decor. They may differ slightly, but not be a contrasting spot.
3. The difference in color between the selected fabric and the available finish. Walls and window textiles of the same tone and structure will create a flat surface and break the stylization.

Conclusion

Choosing beautiful window textiles for a child's bedroom, you need to take into account many factors: model, color of the product

Particular attention must be paid to the quality of the canvases. They must be painted with harmless compounds, easy to clean.

For the stylization of rooms, it is recommended to select products with drawings, prints. They will help you easily carry out the original design of any room in terms of area. Window textiles will be well complemented by different types of accessories: grips, magnets. You can also buy small butterflies, beetles with hooks or pins to decorate canvases. True, such a decor is suitable only for stylizing the rooms of schoolchildren. Using simple recommendations and advice from designers, you can easily transform any bedroom in terms of layout and decoration, choose practical and reliable materials for sewing window textiles.
