The interior design of the bedroom will be incomplete if you do not pay due attention to such an important issue as window decoration. The problem of choosing curtains for many continues to be relevant. After all, it is this accessory that can visually expand the space or make it smaller, add sunlight or darkness and gloom.
Choosing curtains for a small bedroom is not too difficult, but there are certain rules that limit the choice.
Rules for choosing curtains:
When making a window in a small bedroom, you need to be very careful about choosing textiles for curtains. It must match certain criteria:
Some taboo for small bedroom curtains:
You can apply ready-made design solutions and properly decorate a window opening in a small bedroom. A narrow window will make a long baguette wider from one wall to another.
If you decide to equip a small bedroom with stretch ceilings, the cornice will very conveniently hide in a niche behind the ceiling frame, then the fabrics will effectively fall directly from the ceiling.
Color has a great influence on the formation of space. Window decoration in a small bedroom should not stand out from the overall color scheme. Furniture changes a little less often than wallpaper, so consider its shades when choosing the color of curtains. This will help you save money.
Bright original curtains of different colors are suitable for a white bedroom: green, yellow, orange.
The choice of curtain model directly depends on the design style of a small bedroom.
Minimalism- A great choice for a small bedroom. The complete absence of layering, contrasting prints, bright colors. These are laconic short curtains with slats or Japanese ones.
Great importance is given to the choice of material for curtains in a small bedroom.
Roller blind designs made of translucent material can let in a certain amount of light, which will not make a small bedroom dark.
Curtains not only decorate the interior of the room, but also help to adjust the design features of the surrounding space. The frame construction of a small width reduces the light flux entering the room and visually narrows the room.
Often high, but narrow openings represent some inconvenience for the owner of the house. For curtains, non-standard decoration of space is used so that the opening does not visually appear narrower.
For this, a number of methods are used:
When thinking about how to drape a high window of small width, make sure that the room does not turn out to be dark or gloomy. due to incorrectly chosen curtain style.
Italian style curtains are ideal for tall, but not wide frames, as they allow you to adjust the shape of the opening, giving it a shorter and wider configuration. To do this, you need to choose a fabric that will freely fall in soft waves in the upper part of the frame.
The drape should not be too tight. Curtains in the Italian style are decorated with soft folds in the shape of a semicircle.
The Italian curtain lets in a sufficient amount of light into the room, as it does not block the opening, but serves only as its decorative frame. The smooth curves of the fabric will add sophistication and grace to the room.
Italian style is suitable for curtains on a narrow window in the kitchen, which does not have to be completely curtained.
When decorating rooms, curtains of various widths are used. Narrow curtains in the interior are appropriate to use for artistic framing of a window opening. Such curtains do not carry a functional load. They do not hide the room from prying eyes, but are used only for decoration.
However, in a room with narrow frames, narrow curtains in the interior of the rooms are appropriate. They do not create vertical folds on the opening plane, which are able to visually stretch an already narrow space.

If a narrow frame harmoniously fits into the room and decorates the interior, choose curtains, the style of which emphasizes the geometry of the opening in the best possible way.
When, for one reason or another, the size of the opening does not fit into the style of the room, decorating with curtains should hide visible flaws, turning it into a room decoration.
Window decoration is the completion of the interior of the room, giving it coziness and comfort. In modern construction, areas of different layouts are used; therefore, windows are not always of the correct shape and of sufficient width.
Standard window design is not a big problem. How about a narrow window?
There are various design options: fabric curtains, the role of shutters, pleated systems and, in addition to them, cornices from various materials.
For example, splinter windows are a narrow floor-to-ceiling panoramic window., often used in European building design, give the building a lightness. They have a modern look. On such windows, as a rule, curtains are not hung, but internal shutters are often used.
There are several options in the design of curtains for narrow windows in the bedroom, a number of recommendations must be taken into account. A narrow window for a bedroom is perfectly acceptable as it does not require bright lighting. You can find out more about the options for choosing curtains for the bedroom.
Determine the style of the room. You can decorate the interior in a classic style using decorative elements (braid, ribbons, glass beads).
The main thing is not to overdo it with the decor, so that it does not interfere with the practical use of curtains.
Using the Austrian style, we select a large number of fixed folds. They look very impressive due to the collected scalloped folds.
Fastened with Velcro to the lifting mechanism.
When choosing Roman blinds made of dense fabric, you can additionally install a curtain rod for a light or veil. In decor you can use asymmetrical, multi-layered curtains tied with ribbons.
If the window is very small and narrow, then it is not recommended to use a wide print and a large pattern.
We choose a cornice, take into account the opening from the window to the wall on which it will be mounted, choose it wider than the window opening. This will visually expand the space and visually enlarge the window.
The eaves can be wooden, plastic or metal, but of small diameter, no more than 20 mm.
To facilitate the design, there are profile cornices. Their advantage is that they bend easily. Applying this cornice to a narrow window, you can close the gap between the curtain and the wall. The curtain will fit snugly against the wall, bending around the profile cornice and will not let in light.
We choose a two-row cornice - for tulle (light curtain) and dense fabric. The cornice is attached to the wall, but if the window is located just under the ceiling, then you need to choose a cornice with a ceiling mount.
Curtains for a narrow window in the bedroom can be of calm colors and dense in texture. It is recommended to use natural fabrics or with the addition of natural threads.
We take fabrics at the rate of one to two - for collection. We determine the length of the curtains (to the floor, falling to the floor).
Blinds can be used to decorate a narrow window opening. They are vertical and horizontal; plastic, metal-plastic and wooden. Blinds are convenient because it is possible to rotate the slats, which increase or decrease the angle of rotation.
This allows you to adjust the amount of penetrating light in the bedroom. On the market there are blinds of various colors, plain and patterned, translucent and dense.
When choosing wooden blinds, consider the height of the window. Wooden blinds are quite heavy and at a height of more than 2 m, their lifting is difficult.
There are other lifting systems for decorating a narrow window - these are roller blinds and pleated systems.
These systems also have a variety of colors and are made of a dense piece of impregnated fabric. This fabric protects the product from dust and dirt, easy to clean.
Blinds, roller blinds and pleated systems can be mounted with extension on brackets, which come in different lengths from 5 to 18 cm. For a tighter fit to the window, the fasteners are driven into the rubber seal of the window frame.
At the same time, the frame does not deteriorate, since these products are attached without drilling. So that the systems do not hang freely when the window is opened, it is necessary to make fasteners from below, which is ordered complete with a curtain.
There is one more addition to curtain products - this is a plastic frame, called the “frame + system”.
Blinds, roller blinds or pleated blinds are inserted into this frame. And the window takes on a very aesthetic appearance. When ordering systems for curtains, it is necessary to make accurate measurements, it is better to use the services of a professional.
Curtains, like other accessories in the room, give the interior a finished look, emphasize design features, and complement the overall impression of the home. Well-chosen curtains can not only decorate windows, but also visually level out certain shortcomings, for example, too narrow and long window openings. We will talk about the design features of narrow windows further.
Windows of this configuration have two significant drawbacks: they visually narrow the space of the room and reduce the amount of light entering the room. When designing narrow windows, you should follow some rules:
The design of a narrow window will only look appropriate if it resonates with the style of the interior of the room. Consider some ideas for decorating narrow windows:
There are many ways to make a window the highlight of a room, and curtains will not always play a leading role. Consider unusual ideas that will help highlight narrow windows and turn them into the main accent of the interior:
A small window makes the room bulky and uncomfortable, but with the right curtains, you can transform the interior of the room, bringing a special homely atmosphere. Curtains will help to correct the shape and size of the window, emphasize its interesting and unusual design.
Standard window sizes are specified in GOST. They are calculated on the basis of building codes and regulations for each dwelling separately, depending on the level of lighting, the total area of the rooms and the architectural ensemble as a whole.
According to GOST, the width of the window can be from 870 mm to 2670 mm, and the height - from 1160 mm to 2060 mm. The most common window size is 1300 mm high and 1400 mm wide.
Windows with a height of less than 1300 mm and a width of less than 1400 mm are considered small, having specific features and a characteristic design. Window openings with a width of 600 mm or more are considered narrow, and window openings with a height of 560 mm or more are considered low.
Curtains for a small window must be chosen, starting not only from the size of the window opening, but also from the general style of the design of the room.
You can visually enlarge a small window with the help of a cornice, which is 20 cm wider than the window opening on each side. But you don’t need to choose a cornice that is too wide - when you open the curtains, part of the wall will be visible, and this does not look aesthetically pleasing.
In rooms with a small area, you do not need to hang long curtains on the floor, it is better to stop your choice on shortened models, with a slightly blurred vertical pattern - the room will be more spacious.
On small windows, curtains up to the window sill look beautiful, made of plain light fabrics in pastel shades.
When choosing curtains for a non-standard window, you need to avoid a large number of layers, draperies and ruffles, and if you want something original and elegant, you can opt for asymmetric air curtains.
Low ceilings can be visually raised using long curtains.
Even a small window can be decorated with curtains in a classic style: transparent short or dense long, combined with airy tulle. Especially chic will be added by lambrequins, which are also able to visually correct the window opening, but excessive decor and slickness, large ornaments and patterns should be avoided.
Hinged curtains can be either long or short, and the hinges for this type of curtains are made from the same material as the canvas itself. Most often, these curtains are used to decorate window openings in country-style interiors, as well as modern neutral ones. They are especially convenient to use in a children's room or bedroom, as they move along the eaves quite silently, moreover, they form beautiful even folds.
You can hang different types of curtains on the hinges, which are attached to the cornice: classic long or short, French or London, Italian or cafe curtains.
French curtains are a real find for small windows. They are a canvas, collected in lush horizontal or vertical folds, which is attached, using a lifting mechanism, at the desired height.
French curtains are best combined with simple plain curtains, for example, an ornament is simple and discreet. They are suitable for decorating a window opening in a spacious room, and it is better not to use a small room, they make the interior design heavier.
Roman blinds are versatile and suitable for both large and small windows. They are a canvas that, rising up, forms beautiful folds.
Roman blinds can be combined with light tulle and classic curtains, because they are simple and concise, stylish and elegant. For their manufacture, both light airy and dense fabrics are used.
Japanese curtains can make a small window visually large. They are fabric panels that slide smoothly along horizontal guides. Their adjustment is carried out by cords.
This type of curtain is simple and sophisticated at the same time, it can be combined with flowing curtains or transparent tulle.
London curtains are a fabric canvas that is tightened on both sides with cords, forming a beautiful wave in the middle, and on the sides there are deep folds like a fan. When making small windows, they can be combined with Roman or roller blinds.
Italian curtains are special curtains, which for the most part carry only a decorative load, because they do not close the window from prying eyes from the street. They look luxurious and pompous, elegantly gathered into folds and flounces, which are fixed with hooks. With their help, a small window can be made wider.
Grandma curtains or cafe curtains look good on small window openings. By design, this is one or two curtains with small floral patterns, which are hung on a mini-cornice in the middle of the window. They will decorate the interior in the style of Provence, country or modern rustic.
The hourglass is perfect for small windows, making them look sophisticated. They are a canvas, tied in the middle with a cloth, ribbon or bow. This type of curtains make the design of the room cozy.
Roller blinds are suitable for almost any window, they protect well from bright sunlight, they are very simple and practical to use. Roller blinds are a straight sheet that gathers into a roller, making it convenient to adjust their length. They are mounted both on the window opening and on the cornice and can be combined with air curtains to decorate a tiny window.
To make the interior lighter, many designers prefer not to use cornices for decorating small windows. Their function is performed by all kinds of hooks, decorative clothespins or metal holders, as well as fishing line or thin wire.
Blinds protect well from bright sunlight and prying eyes from the street; they are most often made of plastic plates, less often - of wood. This type of curtain is most often used in non-residential rooms, such as a bathroom, pantry or toilet, when the window needs to be closed especially tightly.
If there are two windows on the same wall, then it is more expedient to arrange them together, combining them with a cornice or lambrequin into a single whole. This is especially beneficial when the window openings are small, because as a result the room will become visually more spacious.
The color of the curtains should be in harmony with the color scheme prevailing in the room.
Tulle, a tone lighter or darker than curtains will visually increase the size of the window. Bright and catchy colors when decorating small window openings are best avoided, with the exception of Japanese, roller or Roman blinds.
Your choice must be stopped on light fabrics - mixed or natural. The ideal option is white translucent textiles.
A wide, low window can be pulled up with the help of a ceiling cornice, which should not protrude beyond the boundaries of the window opening. It is better to choose curtains that are heavy, plain on the floor or just below the window sill and hang them using eyelets or decorative rings. You can not use large ornaments and vertical stripes, a light textured pattern looks good on such windows.
In the bathroom or toilet, blinds or roller blinds can be used.
In order to correct a narrow window, you need to hang a cornice longer than the window opening by 25 cm on each side. Necessarily with curtains, it is necessary to use tulle, the length of the products should be up to the window sill or slightly lower. Straight light curtains from one canvas are suitable - Japanese, Roman or rolled. Do not hang the cornice too high - this will further lengthen the window. Also, a straight lambrequin with a horizontal pattern, or a translucent tulle with dense straight curtains on the tiebacks, will help to slightly align the window opening.

For a country house, products made from light natural or mixed fabrics in light colors, such as cafe curtains, Roman or roller blinds, are suitable. It is important not to overload the room with decorative elements and make the composition of curtains and tulle simple and natural. The main thing is to correctly combine the length and density of materials.
