In this article, we will talk about how to choose a classic-style kitchen curtain design: our tips, ideas and visual photos will help you make the right choice.

Classic is a demanding style. Therefore, I would like to remind you of the general points that are applicable to any type of curtain:

• Natural colors... Avoid bright neon colors - they are more suitable for modern types of interior.
• Materials. Non-synthetic fabrics (linen, silk, satin, velvet), wood are best suited. If you like, buy the ones with wood or veneer lamellas.
• Avoid complex textures... No need to try to hang the curtain in 5-7 layers - this is a clear overkill.
• Symmetry - no ragged edges, abrupt level transitions, and so on. Save that for hi-tech or loft.

As you can see, the list is not a set of hard and fast rules. Rather, a set of tips to help you avoid mistakes. This is important, since in many ways it is precisely they form the overall final perception of the interior of the room.

We have identified 8 main types - in each of them you can find an option that is ideal for a classic kitchen.

Traditional

Smooth curtains to the floor- the most famous way to decorate a window. In fact, this is just a piece of fabric with edging along the bottom and a decorative lambrequin on top. However, such models look very good, despite their apparent simplicity.

A stylish picture is obtained if the curtains imitate the upholstery of upholstered furniture - this is easy to do, and the look is extremely elegant. Allowing for the possibility to wrap the curtains with tape or a clip - this is important if you want to add light to the room. This option is ideal for.

Important: The main advantage of such curtains is the combination of a simple cut with high quality fabric material. The latter can be anything, the main thing is that it is in harmony with the color palette and style of the room.

If you plan to add curtains to the composition, we recommend choosing tulle - it looks great in a classic interior.

We recommend experimenting with the texture of the latter - who said that they should be monochromatic? A graceful pattern will slightly dilute the traditional setting, add zest to it. But you shouldn't get carried away - catchy prints or complex embroidery still have little to do with the classics.

Roman

It is widely believed that they are more suitable for modern styles. This is not so - you will find the right color scheme and even be able to use fabric with a print. The main thing is that everything looks organic.

If you live in a fenced-in private house or high-floor apartment not facing south, consider translucent roman blinds... They look stylish and graceful.

If you have the opposite situation - the sun is constantly shining through the window, it is better to think about dense fabric.

For example, about such as in this photo. The beige material is an excellent choice for a modern classic kitchen. It fulfills its functions, looks beautiful and does not distract attention from brighter accents - in this case, from a mosaic tile apron.

Roman shades go well with curtains - the main thing is to choose the right color combination. An excellent balance of functionality and decor.

Japanese

A few years ago, curtains from the Land of the Rising Sun came into fashion - thick and wide fabric stripes to the floor. However, there are also short modifications - up to the windowsill.

At the same time, it is not necessary to design the kitchen in this style - they also look good in classic interiors.

Translucent models with an elegant print are suitable for a spacious room. We advise you to pay attention to floral ornaments - they do not seem intrusive.

For a more modern renovation, you can pick up curtains with decorative elements - for example, like here. The main thing is that they are not too flashy - the classics do not tolerate pretentiousness.

There are also more complex versions. Here it is important to pay attention to the colors - noble deep shades, preferably muted.

Austrian

It is hardly possible to call them a novelty in the world of interior fashion - this is a traditional type of design. Sleek and inspired by Victorian European films, they fit the classic style perfectly.

We love the combination of pale cream tulle with rich velvet - contrasting materials and similar colors make for a perfect combination. Such curtains are suitable for both small and large kitchens - the main thing is to find the optimal scale of folds.

Don't get carried away with overly complex shapes - the simpler version is the best. Otherwise, you run the risk of greatly overloading the interior, ruining the whole impression of the kitchen.

Beautiful and modern curtains are obtained using printed fabric. Care should be taken here. Floral motives, pastel colors - what you need.

Thin organza models with an elegant pattern look good. Pay attention to how the edges are finished - this fringe will greatly decorate your kitchen. Even if the whole room is designed in approximately the same colors, it is not necessary to select the curtains to match.

The main thing is that they have something in common with at least one element of the interior - for example, with an apron as in this photo.

French

In some ways similar to the previous type, they are still different - the pattern is slightly different, the folds are softer.

Do not try to make something like this out of rough, dense fabric. The best options would be tulle, gabardine or satin. A delicate and airy effect is achieved through the correct combination of shape and thin material.

These curtains are perfect for a kitchen with a bay window. Use them to decorate the dining area in the kitchen, we can assure you that the result will delight you.

Pay attention to cornices - there are many types of them. You will have to spend time to find one that will emphasize the beauty of the curtains and harmoniously fit into the interior.

On grommets

Eyelets are special thin rings on which the curtain is put on on the cornice. This is a modern and popular option. The choice in this case is the same as for traditional models, suitable for a classic style.

Considering that their shape is symmetrical - an even cut of fabric, work with colors and texture. It all depends on what motives prevail in your design project.

We think eyelet curtains work well for a decorated kitchen. Especially when it comes to light colors. Avoid saturated, flashy colors - but a golden canvas, as in this photo, is perfect.

By the way, you can supplement them with roller blinds - not the most traditional, but beautiful technique. Plus, it's functional - if you've draped the fabric with tape or a clip, you don't need to straighten it to protect it from the sun. It is enough just to lower the roll.

Blinds

This is where a natural question arises - is it not too modern element in the kitchen in the classic style?

It all depends on the choice of materials - no one offers you bright plastic or shiny metal. But fabric, wood, bamboo will do.

A good example is in this photo. Thin chocolate-colored lamellas fit into the interior, while reliably protecting from the sun.

Roller blinds are also an extraordinary solution. True, it is not suitable for traditional, but for modern classics. However, you will probably be able to find a suitable design solution.

With lambrequins

If we talk about stereotypes in a classic style, then curtains with lambrequins are the first to come to mind. It is beautiful and elegant - however, in a small kitchen it will look overkill.

Fun fact: Modern lambrequins are not always made of fabric. How do you like this option? Thin plastic looks like a bright accent that is sometimes literally necessary for rooms.

In a more traditional sense, it is a fabric drapery along the top of the curtain. We recommend not to get carried away with complex options. It is better to choose something more elegant, for example, like this one.

An interesting choice is bright translucent curtains with a lambrequin. If the whole kitchen is in pastel colors, then why not add colors this way?

Let's summarize? There are many types of curtains that are suitable for a classic kitchen. Which one to choose is up to you. The main thing is not to deviate from the basic rules of registration and consider several options. We hope that our photos and tips helped in this matter.
