The color composition sets the mood for the entire room. Correct selection of its components is considered the basis of a cozy interior. Curtains in the room perform not only the practical function of curtains of windows in the dark, they help to smooth the situation, make it a little softer and warmer. To visually assess the possibilities of curtains, it is enough to expose a window that will look lonely and empty. In such a room, a person can not feel safe, he will be pressured by psychological discomfort because of the acute sense of incompleteness of the situation. Exceptions are only modern styles (minimalism, loft, high-tech), where curtains are replaced by laconic blinds. In this decoration, empty windows are considered justified design solution, which is in harmony with the rest of the environment. Green curtains in the interior - a bold and highly controversial choice. Although a more "natural" shade is difficult to find, it is difficult to adapt in the room. Let's consider in detail the variety of gradations of green color, the ways of its combination with other tones and the rules of introduction into the palette of the interior.

Green is widely represented in the flora, although he did not deprive the attention of the fauna by decorating the backs of frogs and caterpillars, the plumage of exotic birds and shaggy laziness. Use it is still recommended with caution. Regardless of the tone gradation, the color in any case will attract attention.

Tips for choosing - what to consider when choosing

Before making a reckless purchase of green curtains, it is worthwhile to understand their main characteristics. Value is not only color, but also the material, its texture, monotonousness or the presence of a picture. Separately it is worth noting the lineup of curtains, which is represented by simple curtains, as well as complex Roman or Japanese panel constructions. Textiles in the interior must necessarily be related to its theme, that is, the stylistic decision, the rest of the color palette, the layout of furniture and even the zoning of space. Curtains of green color of a bright shade will become an accent element in the room. You can duplicate the tone in other textiles (blankets, pillows, carpets) or furniture upholstery. Pale green curtains will be the perfect backdrop for more juicy tones.

Variety of shades

In addition to the classic green and its "forest" variant, the color can please a rich tone gradation. Light and bright shades include light green, lime, citrus, meadow (grassy) and exotic chartreuse, which was named after the eponymous liqueur, infused with herbs. "Culinary" variations (kiwi, avocado, pistachio) are also considered to be juicy gradations of color. These bright colors bring "life" into a boring and mean interior, so overuse with their use is not recommended. To more quiet shades include mint, wormwood, olive, viridian, malachite, jade, emerald and asparagus (named after the plant). Neutral tones with a large proportion of yellow admixture, which brings them closer to brown, are considered hacks, camouflage and border mustard. Spring and sea green differ in color "freshness", which unequivocally lifts the mood in the house.

  • The Austrian. Curtains along the entire perimeter have special ribbons, which pull up the canvas along vertical lines, forming numerous folds.
  • English. In many ways similar to the Austrian, but the number of assemblies is much smaller and each thread symbolically divides the window sections.
  • Country curtains. Short curtains that barely reach the windowsill. For them, usually choose a cloth with a pattern to emphasize the color of the interior in the style of country or Provence. The most primitive type of construction on the windows are blinds, but even they can be made in a cheerful green color that completely knock out the "office" spirit from the living quarters.

Quality of the material and invoice

Depending on the material, the intensity of the color of the curtains will change. Dense canvas, which is called curtains or curtains, make the colors more intense. The finest curtains or tulle will let in light, but the shade will become more airy, light. In the manufacture of curtains, as a rule, use natural materials:

  • Velvet. Usually used in classical interiors, as the fabric is associated with luxury. Velvet curtains have a short "pile", due 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, affordable material, having a rough, "fibrous" texture, remotely resembling burlap. Green linen curtains fit the country and Scandinavian style, which also tends to naturalness.
  • Jacquard. The surface of a dense material, as a rule, is decorated with relief (imprinted) drawings, made within the same color. Jacquard green curtains will suit both light and strict styles.
  • Silk. The only air material from this list, which weakly passes light, but can serve as a reliable veil from the street. Silk is very sensitive to damages (puffs), therefore behind curtains it is necessary regularly to look after and not to admit to them clawed pets, thirsting to show the instincts and to hang on a cloth.

Curtains or translucent tulle are made from organza, veil or muslin. In the latter case, not a single canvas is used, but a set of the finest threads. Organza and veil well scatter sunlight, but at the same time reliably protect from prying eyes from the street.

Velvet curtains are very hard to wash and it's not just about the weight of the fabric. After drying, the fleecy material looks very unattractive, since its "bristles" stick out in different directions and appear to be crumpled. The iron in this situation is powerless. Velvet will literally be combed after each wash.

In the living room

In the living room зеленые шторы, как правило, подбирают под цвет ковра на полу или иного крупного текстильного ориентира. Нельзя сказать, что в спокойной композиции использование этого цвета только в занавесках будет смотреться некрасиво. Наоборот, если гостиная оформлена в серых, белых или светло-коричневых тонах, то зеленый заиграет еще ярче, независимо от интенсивности оттенка. Однако чаще цвет штор логически «привязывают» в другому декору. Это может быть не только ковер, но и плед, обивка дивана или кресел, подушки, мелкие украшения (вазы, шкатулки) или фасады шкафа, тумбы, комода.
