Regardless of the housing situation, tulle in the interior plays an important role. This light curtain made of transparent or translucent fabric gives a harmonious appearance to the room, complements curtains and furniture, dissipates sunlight penetrating from the outside. In addition, with open windows, it serves as a barrier to insects. Quality tulle retains a decent appearance for at least 5-7 years.

It is important that the tulle shade be one or two shades lighter than the curtains. Otherwise, the room will look poorly lit, gloomy and not well-groomed.

Materials

For sewing curtains use thin, letting air and sunlight fabrics. The most common are:

• organza;
• veil;
• sour;
• grid.

Organza is a strong, practically transparent cloth. It is produced by dense twisting of filaments of the same thickness. The advantage of this material is that it practically does not accumulate dust. It is made of silk or synthetic yarn. One of the most universal is the veil curtains. Produce this fabric from natural or artificial materials: cotton, silk, wool, polyester. It is softer and tender than the organza, but less transparent. Kisei is a light, transparent cotton fabric from separately located threads. It does not require complex care, it does not crumble, cleaning at home is acceptable. The grid is distinguished by a special, perforated structure. Such a curtain well passes air and sunlight, but quickly accumulates dust and requires more frequent, compared with other tissues, washing. It is often made with embroidery silk threads, which looks original and effective, fastens rhinestones or sequins.

Types of weaving

For the production of tulle we use fabrics of various types, the most popular of which are cambric, chiffon and jacquard. Baptiste is a gentle, smooth fabric of thin, tightly twisted fibers. From it, often make a tulle with embroidery. Curtains made of chiffon are characterized by a relief structure, well suited to drape. They allow a complex cut, multilayeredness, the presence of decorative elements: volumetric colors, bows, ribbons.

Jacquard is a sturdy embossed fabric made of threads of different color and thickness. This tulle is resistant to deformation, looks noble, does not require specific care, looks good in daylight and artificial light. It can become an effective piece of the interior, especially in combination with monochrome curtains without noticeable, large patterns.

Colors

The traditional color of the curtains is white. This is due to the following reasons:

• snow-white tulle looks light and airy, with it any room gives the impression of well-lit and spacious;
• this color is combined with a variety of shades in the interior - cold and warm, light and dark, bright and muted;
• such a fabric best passes light.

Monochrome and motley curtains

In close rooms with an abundance of furniture, such curtains are inappropriate, they will create a sense of litter, they will look a bit lame. A large ornament or openwork parts will especially adorn the tulle, located on the window, which faces the south side. From too bright sun rays, a dark-colored curtain will protect - gray, blue, purple. To give preference in this case you need cold shades. For small or poorly lit rooms, the best choice will be a light transparent tulle, monochrome or decorated with a small pattern, a thin lace in the center or on the bottom. It should be combined with light curtains. For those facing the north side of the windows, it is better to choose light curtains of warm shades, for example peach, orange, pink. They compensate for the lack of light and create the effect of sunlight penetrating the window.
