The color composition sets the mood for the whole room. The correct selection of its components is considered the basis of a cozy interior. Curtains in the room not only perform the practical function of curtaining windows in the dark, they help to smooth the situation, make it a little softer and warmer. To visually evaluate the possibilities of curtains, it is enough to expose a window that will look lonely and empty. In such a room, a person will not be able to feel safe, psychological discomfort will put pressure on him because of an acute sense of incompleteness of the situation. An exception is only modern styles (minimalism, loft, hi-tech), where curtains replace laconic blinds. In such decoration, empty windows are considered a justified design decision that is in harmony with the rest of the decor. Green curtains in the interior - a bold and highly controversial choice.Although it is difficult to find a more “natural” shade, it is difficult to adapt in the room. We will take a closer look at the variety of gradations of green, the ways of combining it with other tones, and the rules for introducing into the interior palette.
Green color symbolizes calmness, measuredness, reliability and safety. It turned out as a result of a mixture of yellow and blue, which are inherently opposite, like heat and cold. Therefore, green, depending on the shade, can both soothe and add dynamics to the room. In some cases, textiles that are too intense in brightness can even have an overly sedative effect, causing apathy and even depression. This color is associated with grass, flower stems, fruits, tree crowns.
Green is widely represented precisely in the flora, although he did not deprive the fauna with his attention, having decorated the backs of frogs and caterpillars, the plumage of exotic birds and the wool of sloths. Use it is still recommended with caution. Regardless of the tone gradation, the color in any case will attract attention. Dark green can bring even gloomy notes to the interior, but light shades will cheer you up and set you in a positive mood.
Tips for choosing - what to consider when choosing
Before you make a rash purchase of green curtains, it is worth understanding their basic characteristics. Not only color matters, but also the material, its texture, uniformity or the presence of a pattern.Separately, it is worth noting the model range of curtains, which is represented by both simple curtains and complex Roman or Japanese panel designs. Textiles in the interior must necessarily be connected with its theme, that is, with a stylistic solution, the rest of the color palette, the arrangement of furniture and even zoning of the space. Bright green curtains will become an accent element in the room. You can duplicate the tone in other textiles (rugs, pillows, carpets) or upholstery. Pale green curtains are the perfect backdrop for more vibrant tones.
Variety of shades
In addition to the classic green and its “forest” version, the color can please with rich tonal gradation. Light and bright shades include lime, lime, citrus, meadow (herbal) and exotic chartreuse, which was named after the eponymous liquor infused with herbs. “Culinary” variations (kiwi, avocado, pistachio) are also considered juicy gradations of color. These bright colors bring “life” to a boring and mean interior, so they are not recommended to overdo it. Calm shades include mint, wormwood, olive, viridian, malachite, jade, emerald and asparagus (named after the plant). Neutral tones with a large proportion of yellow impurity, which brings them closer to brown, are considered khaki, camouflage and border mustard. Spring and sea green are distinguished by color "freshness", which will definitely raise the mood in the house.
Compatibility with other interior colors
Green combines well with coral and pink. A similar combination is often found in nature, therefore it is pleasing to the eye. A duet with red may be considered too vulgar by some if bright shades are used. Bright greenish tones with orange, yellow and peach are well combined, forming a juicy, positive combination.The close kinship of the flowers here affects them, since they are located in the neighboring spectral circle. Green and yellow evoke pleasant associations with a bright meadow, which is dotted with spots of dandelion heads.
Paired with lilac, purple or purple, the color forms an exotic combination that will accent the interior. Do not burden such a situation with additional dynamic shades. The duo with blue is suitable for spacious rooms where the “cold” decoration does not play a cruel joke on the perception of space. Green and cinnamon, beige, walnut are everywhere found in nature, so this solution will be ideal for a natural eco-style. In alliance with white and gray, it forms a light, unobtrusive combination. The combination of green and black creates a gloomy, painful atmosphere, therefore, if it is found in the interior, then in very small "doses".
Variety of models
Curtains have a wide range. The assortment is presented, both in laconic options that are suitable for rustic styles in cottages, and intricate designs that emphasize the luxury of the interior of a city apartment. The main models include:
Italian The model is equipped with numerous folds that artistically fall to the floor. Fits classic interiors with a touch of romanticism.
Roman. They are a structure made of web, roller and a special mechanism that wraps fabric on it.
Curtains made of ropes and stripes. Perform exclusively decorative function.
Japanese panel. They look like wide vertical canvases, which when pushed to the sides “go” one after another in the manner of sliding wardrobe doors.
Austrian. Curtains around the perimeter have special ribbons that pull the canvas along vertical lines, forming numerous folds.
EnglishIn many ways, they are similar to Austrian ones, but the number of assemblies is much smaller and each thread symbolically divides the window sections.
Rustic curtains. Short curtains that barely reach the windowsill. For them, they usually choose fabric with a pattern to emphasize the color of the interior in a country style or Provence. The most primitive type of design on the windows are blinds, but even they can be made in a cheerful green color, which completely knocks out the "office" spirit from the living room.
Material quality and texture
Depending on the material, the color intensity of the curtains will also change. Dense canvases, which are called curtains or drapes, make the colors richer. The finest curtains or tulle will transmit light, but at the same time the shade will become more airy, lighter. In the manufacture of curtains, as a rule, use natural materials:
Velvet. It is usually used in classic interiors, as the fabric is associated with luxury. Velvet curtains have a short "pile", thanks to which the green color will become deep and saturated. For such curtains, it is recommended to choose dark shades. Do not use velvet in small rooms.
Linen. Natural, accessible material, having a rough, “fibrous” texture, vaguely reminiscent of burlap. Green linen curtains are suitable for country and Scandinavian style, which also gravitates to naturalness.
Jacquard. The surface of a dense material, as a rule, is decorated with relief (depressed) patterns made within the same color. Jacquard green curtains are suitable for both light and strict styles.
Silk. The only airy material from this list that weakly transmits light, but can serve as a reliable curtain from the street. Silk is very sensitive to damage (puffs), so the curtains will have to be regularly taken care of and not clawed at pets, eager to show their instincts and hang on the canvas.
Curtains or translucent tulle are made of organza, veil or muslin. In the latter case, not a single piece of fabric is used, but a set of the finest threads. Organza and veil scatter sunlight well, but at the same time reliably protect from prying eyes from the street.
Velvet curtains are very difficult to wash and we are talking here not only about the weight of the fabric. After drying, the fleecy material looks very unsightly, since its “bristles” stick out in different directions and appear wrinkled. The iron in this situation is powerless. Velvet will literally have to be combed after each wash.
Plain or patterned
Select curtains with a pattern should be with special attention. Small repeating patterns are suitable for classic or rustic interiors. Not bad, such curtains are combined with wallpaper in a cheerful little flower. Textiles decorated with large prints cannot be used in cramped spaces. Green color becomes an ideal background for floral ornaments, which together with it look organically and cause pleasant associations with nature. Depending on the topic, the drawings are classified into four large groups:
Floral ornament.
Patterns with animals.
Abstraction and geometric shapes.
Prints.
Each type of drawing is suitable only for certain styles. For example, green curtains decorated with geometric shapes and lines will look good in minimalism, avant-garde, high-tech or futurism.
In the interior of different rooms
The trend of using green in the interior appeared not so long ago, from the moment the fashion for a concise but positive design appeared. Depending on the chosen shade, the curtains can decorate the living room, bathroom, kitchen, bedroom or corridor. Emphasized the ease of the cottage atmosphere green curtains on the veranda. Consider illustrative examples of using the most familiar color for the human eye in individual rooms.
In the living room
In the living room, green curtains, as a rule, are selected to match the color of the carpet on the floor or another large textile landmark. This is not to say that in a calm composition, using this color only in curtains will look ugly. On the contrary, if the living room is decorated in gray, white or light brown tones, then green will play even brighter, regardless of the intensity of the shade. However, more often the color of the curtains is logically “tied” into another decor. This can be not only a carpet, but also a plaid, upholstery of a sofa or chairs, pillows, small decorations (vases, caskets) or the facades of a cabinet, a curbstone, a chest of drawers.
In the bedroom
For the bedroom, light green, pale or juicy shades of curtains are selected. Do not use jade or purple tones in this room. In a color composition, green is usually associated with white and pastel shades in wall decoration. The berth is decorated with the same neutral colors: beige, coffee, gray, walnut. A fresh mint or olive hue will look good in this room. A bold decision is to combine green curtains with the same wallpaper. It is not recommended to use dark shades, as they are combined “with a creak” and create an oppressive atmosphere, which is unacceptable for the rest room. Juicy grassy or lime curtains look great on the background of pale green wallpaper.
In the nursery
In the nursery, as a rule, juicy shades of green are used: citrus, lime, herbal, lime. They really “breathe” optimism and create a favorable environment for both games and study. In a room for a girl, green is combined with pink or peach. We have already mentioned the “naturalness” of such combinations. For boys, you can choose a duet with brown, blue or extravagant lilac.
For rooms in which hyperactive babies live, it is recommended to use mustard or olive tones. They soothe and cause mild hypochondria.
In the kitchen
Short curtains or roller blinds are ideal for the kitchen. It is pointless to use heavy curtains in this room, as the housewife is tormented by regular washing. Lightweight tulle from organza or veil is preferred. It is for the kitchen that they recommend choosing classic green. If you use shades with an admixture of yellow, then too warm a setting will cause excessive appetite. An excess of blue tones in the variations of green can suppress the "hunger" and make the room uncomfortable, slightly "prickly."
Making a veranda in a private house
A veranda in a private house is usually used in the summer. This room can become a temporary kitchenette, a greenhouse, a study or a rest room. Lightweight organza curtains are ideal for the veranda. They can be combined with the same weightless white tulle. If the design of the veranda has pronounced classic features, then it is better to opt for plain fabrics of mint, jade, emerald shade. These tones “cool” the interior, so it will be pleasant to hide in it from the summer heat. In the village verandas, brighter and more juicy variations of green are used, which are successfully combined with openwork tulle. Curtains are usually tied so that they do not “swell” from every gust of wind.
In the design of the Russian veranda, you can use linen green curtains that complement the themed decor of burlap or straw.
Conclusion
Do not give up green just because it carries too much positive charge. This color, like yellow or orange, is neglected by many precisely because of its excessive dynamism and intensity. Dark shades of green blend wonderfully with austere interiors. Many overlook the ability of colors to adapt to the environment, emphasize the design strengths and successfully mask defects. So absolutely any shade can play if it is chosen correctly.Green is characterized by doubleness, so whether it will accompany the general interior melody depends only on the designer.
