Curtains for the boy's children's room

Curtains - an important design element of any room, allowing to limit the amount of daylight and protects against drafts. At the same time, the curtains occupy a huge space, and it is impossible to make them inconspicuous - it means that it is necessary to somehow fit them into the interior so that they add to its attractiveness.

In the case of a girl it would be easier, but how to find an interesting solution for the bedroom of the future man?

The modern market of design items is so diverse that a huge selection is offered even for such a simple thing as curtains.

Today it is far from ordinary curtains on the window - see for yourself what the options are:

• Roller blinds are wound on a special shaft attached to the sash, from where, if necessary, they are unwound.
• Cassette look very stylish and modern, because outwardly they seem to be one with the window frame.
• Roman are a combination of fabric with slats, which simultaneously hold it and decorate.
• The Japanese curtains differ in rather small size - these are strips of fabric which open and close by analogy to a sliding wardrobe.

Photocurtains are often also considered a separate species, but their key feature is not in the form and method of attachment, but in appearance - similarly to photo wallpapers. At the same time photocurtains can belong to any of the presented types of curtains.

Useful advice: build on the overall intent of the interior of a particular room.

1. Long curtains are usually chosen in cases where the wall with the window remains open, and the short version allows you to put any furniture to the window - for example, a table or a bed.
2. A smaller accessory will collect less dust.
3. Short curtains are much easier to remove and wash, and cleanliness is very important for a small child.
4. Given the increased activity of most babies, the short curtain once again ensures that the young owner of the room will not tear it down during one of his regular pranks.

Choosing the colors of window textiles, follow the main rule followed by all designers: if the walls are plain, it is better to choose curtains with a print or a bright pattern, and vice versa - one-colored fabric will suit the colored walls more.

At the same time, a common theme of design can give a clear roll between curtains and other woven elements of the interior - for example, if the print of curtains is similar to the pattern on a blanket or rug. When choosing a one-color solution, pay attention to the fact that very young children are too bright colors are often perceived as an irritant, so you need something more calm.

Connect the entire palette of bright colors can be, starting from 4 years of age.

If the choice fell on the curtains with a print, then it should be repelled from the individual characteristics and preferences of each individual baby, not forgetting about the overall compatibility of the individual elements of the interior indoors.

The calmest non-monotonous way out is a cell of pastel or yellow-brown tones. If you need a picture, think about the popular options - seascapes, characters of famous cartoons, space adventures, sports or car themes.

Experts identify several modern materials and colors:

1. Blue-blue satin - it looks beautiful, amazingly relaxes and soothes, while this fabric is also very pleasant to the touch.
2. Check Vichy - for young gentlemen, whose parents decided to educate them in the best English traditions.
3. Blackout - A modern kind of textile, which is great for applying to it complex full-color drawings, which makes it the main material for the production of photo-curtains. Among other things, also very well drowns out street noise.

Among the more familiar materials are gabardine, flax, flannel, chintz and cotton. It is relatively rare to find curtains from other fabrics, in particular, from felt, which is distinguished by a high degree of protection against drafts and noise.

In recent decades, simple light curtains have become increasingly rare, giving way to complex designs from additional accessories designed to turn an initially practical thing into a real work of art. When making a room the boy is most often recommended not to overdo it with such details.

First of all, the excessive pomp of the design is still more like the weaker sex, while simplicity and even a kind of asceticism are more peculiar to men. In addition, the child is very harmful dust, and a large number of elements from the fabric will contribute to its collection. In this context, design experts usually advise to avoid excessive decor, starting from lightness and simplicity.

However, completely abandon the accessories is also optional. For example, the baby, various tassels on the curtains will even be useful, because, swaying, they can soothe and even lull. In addition, some types of curtain design require a thematic solid cornice, which, being not an accessory, but an obligatory part, has a specific appearance, skillfully complementing the overall picture.

Such an important element of the interior is able to both improve the decor and increase the practicality of the design, and vice versa, to spoil it.

Given the specifics of the owner of the room, it is necessary to highlight several special characteristics, which should correspond to the fabric, which served as the material for the curtains of the master bedroom of the son:

• Curtains should not collect dust - pay attention to materials with a pronounced antistatic effect.
• The product must be made of the most harmless components - textiles need to choose natural, and dye - non-toxic.
• The curtain is a practical element, so make sure that it is able to perform its primary functions: to reliably protect from excessive sunlight, and also to prevent strong drafts.
• When choosing a method of fixing a curtain, make sure that it can be easily removed at any time.
• Pay attention to how easily the material can ignite.

It is no secret that in different periods of our life we ​​perceive the world differently. Even trying to grow a real man out of a baby, you need to constantly make a discount on how old he is at the moment, otherwise the result may be the opposite.

For the baby, the main thing is calm. Every mother probably knows how difficult it is to lull the baby, so it is important to do everything necessary so that nothing will disturb his peace. Therefore, at the very tender age even cartoon characters are not needed - no unnecessary details are needed at all, everything should be very soft, smooth and without abrupt transitions. Avoid bright colors, preferring discreet design pastel colors, you can with accessories in the form of brushes on the curtains - this will be the best solution.

When the child is already out of infancy, but has not yet reached school, it's time for bright colors. Bright colors at that age do not annoy him, but, on the contrary, heighten his mood. But here do not forget about the balance - in the presence of furniture or walls that emphasize attention, make a choice in favor of one-off "weightless" decisions.

A good addition to the design of the room will be a print on the curtains - it could be some character from your favorite cartoon, always kind and active, or something typically boyish - cars, ships, space, football. For example, a 3-year-old baby will be interested to meet every day with a Tuchka or Kesha from Mimish. Do not pursue photographic accuracy of the image, but on the contrary, give preference to drawing, or even slightly naive animation. Such design is permissible even for elementary school students.

But when a serious study begins, you will need to do so that nothing distracts from the useful pastime. At this moment, the interior gradually becomes less bright, not all the animation is already appropriate because of age, and in general it’s time for curtains to become monochromatic or at least just checkered (or striped).

A separate topic is the care of curtains. Children's room curtains require special attention, since dust there is preferably smaller, and, in the case of a very young age of its owner, they may be exposed to much more frequent and complex dirt than it would be in an adult's room. Choose lightweight fabrics, they are much easier to wash and iron, which significantly saves mother's time.

Consequently, either choose blended fabrics that practically do not shrink and fade in the sun, or when choosing curtains made of natural materials, take the product 10-20 centimeters longer than it seems at first glance.

Sometimes even the most detailed descriptions of ideas for the interior look too abstract, therefore we will try to consider with concrete examples what curtains can look like in a room for a boy.

In the first picture - a typical baby room. The whole interior, not excluding the curtains, is designed in the most calm, bright colors, which contributes to the emotional balance of the baby. Such window textile protects well from sunlight and does not make a depressing impression - the room still seems well lit. The fabric completely closes the window, and, perhaps, reaches even lower than the window sill, but this design is for an infant who does not walk on its own, and therefore does not tear it and does not stain the curtain.

The second photo is a vivid example of design for a preschooler or elementary school student. The design here is made with the understanding that the owner is still quite small - here both bright colors and cartoon print on the curtains, however, drawing on the curtains is already laying the foundations for future men's interests, because cars are quite a male hobby.

In the third image we see the older boy’s room. The presented curtain looks strictly, but not bad at the same time, it is a typical men's accessory - not striking, not distracting attention, but successfully performing its tasks.

Of course, the choice of possible design ideas is not limited to this - look for, experiment, create!
