The loggia in a modern apartment often plays the role of an additional room. In addition to its small size, it is distinguished by spacious windows that almost completely replace the walls. Decorating such window structures is not an easy task. Therefore, we have compiled for you a selection of photos with ideas for decorating curtains for a loggia in various styles.

What is useful to know when choosing curtains for a loggia

The windows on the loggia are different from the usual ones. First, they are much larger. Secondly, they consist of a large number of valves. Thirdly, the illumination not only of the loggia itself, but also of the adjacent room depends on them.

Based on the above, when choosing curtains for a loggia or a built-in balcony, it is advisable to take into account the following nuances:

1. 1 On the loggia, especially if it is connected to the kitchen, it is important to provide free access to the windows.
2. 2 It is better to give preference to models that are mounted directly on the sash. They do not "eat up" the already small space and make it possible to fully exploit all the elements of the window structure.
3. 3 The width of the loggias in standard apartments does not exceed 120 cm and does not allow decorating its interior, including windows with grandeur and splendor. Curtains without frills in the form of frills, ruffles and lambrequins are relevant for them.
4. 4 Window openings facing the north side, it is better to decorate with curtains of warm colors. If the windows face south and the loggia heats up most of the day, choose cold-colored curtains.
5. 5 Curtains on the loggia and in the room adjacent to it should be in the same color scheme and combined in style. It is desirable that on the loggia they are lighter than those in the room located behind it.

The photos below show the most popular models of curtains for decorating loggias and built-in balconies.

Rolled

Thanks to their minimalist design, high level of light absorption and the possibility of mounting directly on the sashes, they are ideal for non-standard windows.

Roller blinds with ties look interesting, which you can easily sew yourself.

Recently, their new variety has been especially popular - made of fabric with transparent and opaque stripes. By alternating or combining stripes, you can adjust the level of illumination in the room.

Blinds

When decorating a loggia, choose horizontal models. Unlike vertical designs, they, like roller blinds and Roman blinds, are fixed directly on the sashes. Such installation completely eliminates problems with opening and closing windows.

It is also convenient that in the interior they are often combined with curtains and curtains. This combination allows you to solve the problem of compatibility of the interiors of the loggia and the adjacent room.

Roman

In the closed position, they are adjacent to the window and occupy a minimum of space. In the open, they rise up and resemble graceful draperies.

This duality, as well as a wide selection of materials for their manufacture, allows them to be used for any interior style.

They are easy to combine with other types of curtains and successfully decorate a loggia combined with a room.

Portieres and curtains

Draperies or curtains made of plain, light fabrics are suitable for loggias with glazing to the floor.

Curtains - thick, almost non-transmitting curtains are suitable only for loggias facing south. It is better to hang translucent curtains on the northern windows.

Bamboo

And finally, I would like to note bamboo curtains, which differ from other types of curtains not in design, but in the material of manufacture.

Most often they are Roman and rolled. For loggias, bamboo curtains are good because they gently scatter the sun's rays and create lighting that is comfortable for the eyes. In addition, they allow air to pass even when closed and do not interfere with the natural ventilation of the room.

The loggia is perhaps the only living space in the apartment that can do without curtains, but you still shouldn’t give them up. After all, with curtains, it will turn into a full-fledged room and become a place where you can comfortably relax from the daily hustle and bustle.
