Curtains are hung on the balcony for several reasons. The main one is the closure of the internal space from the sun's rays, which not only heat the small space of the balcony, but also the room connected to it. This state of affairs is especially true for the southern windows. Another reason is indoor plants, which in the summer many of us take out to breathe fresh air, thereby arranging flower greenhouses. But the stuffiness of a glazed balcony and direct sunlight often have a detrimental effect instead of a beneficial effect. This fact does not allow you to leave them on the balcony for a long time.

The rest of the reasons for wanting to have curtains on the balcony lie in beauty and privacy. A pleasant aesthetic view will make the balcony cozy and residential, and the owners who are resting in the evening will be hidden from prying eyes.

These factors directly affect the choice of balcony curtains. If there is an excess of heat and light on it, then the selected material should have a good density. A thin fabric will help hide from prying eyes. In cases where it is very hot and there is a lot of sun, the curtain model must move well in order to regulate the light source, as the weather varies. If the task of the curtain is only to hide the interior space, then the structure can be motionless.

It is necessary to select curtains for the balcony taking into account the method of opening the window, that is, without prejudice to its functioning. The mount also has several options:

• To the ceiling
• On the window frame using self-tapping screws, adhesive tape, brackets,
• With the help of a special Velcro on the double-glazed window,
• On a string that is attached to opposite walls.

The balcony, as a rule, is small in size, so it is not recommended to use lambrequins, complex draperies, ruffles, brushes and other voluminous fittings for its decoration. Since all of the above will conceal an already small space and quickly collect dust that accumulates here due to open windows. It is better to choose compact curtains with a window sill length, this will make it easier for you to take care of them.
