The role of curtains in the overall interior of the room is difficult to overestimate.

To give the room additional comfort, update the interior, combine all design elements into one whole and emphasize the overall style - all this is possible with ordinary curtains.

Focusing on the size of the window, the dimensions of the room, its intended use and inclination to any style, you can choose especially successful curtains. And although the classic version of evenly falling curtains made of high-quality fabric remains, as always, popular, today designers offer many tricks on how to design a window in a more original and stylish way.

After deciding on the choice of curtains for the room, consider what fabric will be successfully combined with them.

Modern materials allow designers to vary with lambrequins and apply them to any style.

Bando, in addition to the decorative function in the room, is capable of visual effects:

• expand a narrow window opening (especially in combination with curtains in a horizontal strip);
• expand the space (in combination with light, plain curtains against a dark background of the wall);
