Modern design curtains for the living room (photos of new items 2016)

In addition to a pleasant view, the curtains should provide comfort to people in the room: protect from the sun and give privacy. Therefore, today the trend is functional Roman curtains, a combination of traditional curtains with shutters and blinds, as well as curtains made of dense fabric.

Rolettes and Roman curtains of simple natural fabrics (cotton or linen) perfectly fit into the laconic atmosphere of modern living rooms. With a minimalist interior design it can be quite difficult to find the right decor for windows, so here they also serve as decoration. Roman curtains with a pattern look best in combination with dense monochrome curtains, and if they have a pronounced texture (like, for example, bamboo), then - with light and transparent tulle.
