How to choose curtains for a teenager's room?

Decorating windows with curtains allows you to show maximum creative possibilities. This is especially important when you need to equip a teenager's room, because you have to take into account not only the colors of the curtains, but also their design. What it should be, what are the fashion trends, what is good and what is not, let's figure it out.

Curtains for a teenage room should be functional. This is what is at the heart of fashion trends today. At the same time, the models are gradually getting rid of pretentious embellishments in the form of folds, folds and layering.

There are several tasks for curtains, depending on the type of material, shape, they should:

• protect the interior from the abundance of sunlight;
• provide protection from prying eyes from the street;
• reduce the flow of cold air and noise into the room (important for options made of dense fabrics);
• bring aesthetic appeal to the room;
• hint at a specific direction of interior design;
• emphasize the sense of taste of the owner of the room.

In adolescence, priorities often change, which is reflected in the attitude towards color. For example, if earlier the girl liked pink and lilac, over time she may give preference to blue, turquoise, blue or beige, sandy colors. Boys are not so radical: their priorities rarely change, they prefer shades of blue, green, yellow, brown and sand tones - calm colors of a color palette that are neutral to perception and not annoying, regardless of time.

Light shades of green are popular this season, especially pistachio and early greens diluted with white. The combination with white is not accidental: white itself does not carry an emotional coloring, but together with another color it acquires a different mood. White tulle softens the curtains, visually creates a feeling of lightness in the nursery, and fills the room with air.

Teenagers are especially sensitive to what is fashionable and what is not, and this is expressed not only in relation to clothing, music, but also to the interior as a whole. And if the parental budget allows, it is worth giving preference to modern technological products. These include roller, pleated and Roman curtains. Each type is unique in its own way.

For example, roller blinds are nothing more than panels wound on a special shaft and equipped with a weighting agent. They open only in one direction, although they exclude gaps and are compact, because they only cover the window glass.

Pleated blinds, like roller blinds, have manual and remote control. They are even more expensive, since both the production and the components themselves are more expensive. Outwardly, such curtains are similar to blinds, the principle of opening provides for two ways: from bottom to top and from top to bottom.

Roman curtains are cheaper than two technological varieties, although they also have weights and, when opened, look like flat sheets without folds and folds.

If you prefer the classics, youth options on eyelets, rings and Velcro loops will be appropriate here. Especially popular this season are eyelet pieces with a simple round bar design.

When choosing curtains for a teenage room, you should consider its style. If before children tried to acquire products, not particularly tying them to one style or another, now is the time to think about whether they would be appropriate.

Talking about modern models, they are harmonious for the majority of modern styles., even for styles such as kitsch, brutalism, art deco and art nouveau. If this is the bohemian style of grunge, canvas without a pattern, but distinguished by its status, will be good here, since grunge cannot but demonstrate its high cost.

When you plan to decorate Provence or country styles with curtains, you need to take ordinary rectangular products. For country, they must certainly have a print and loops; for Provence, curtains in light notes without a pattern are preferable. In this case, it is better to buy products from natural fabric. When curtains are bought for modern interior decoration or, say, bionics, elegant products are needed that stand out for their manufacturability and synthetic base.

Curtains in a teenage room often do not need any drawing. However, if it is principled, the theme should correspond to the general concept of stylistics. This can be a sketch of a cityscape, for example, London or Paris, a creative drawing "graffiti" or a photo print of the starry sky.

Ethnic motives look great on short curtains. Flowers, dolls and children's themes are undesirable, geometry and simple abstraction are allowed. Curtains for a teenager's room can have a floral print. For girls, photo printing can depict a glamorous sketch in the form of separate silhouette plots. Guys prefer plain options, but if you pick up something in the children's bedroom taking into account the hobbies of the child, such curtains can become an interior decoration that matches the inner world of a young man.
