We tell the main thing about the shapes, palette, materials that look modern and will decorate the interior.

They perform several important functions at once: they protect from the bright sun, help to hide from prying eyes, add comfort to the space and are an important part of the design. What do modern curtains look like in the interior in 2023? We'll tell you. 

All about modern curtains and their use in the interior

Types of curtains in modern interiors

In their projects, designers use a variety of window textiles. Including the design. 

Classic

Traditional textile curtains. As a rule, it is floor-length. An option that can be fitted into any interior: from classic to industrial style. Designers love him for this versatility. Despite periodically appearing novelties, it is classical canvases that remain the most popular type of textiles for windows. 

Roman

This view is fundamentally different from the previous one by the opening mechanism. At the Roman it is lifting.

In the straightened form, such a curtain looks like a flat canvas covering the entire window opening. When opening, the curtain rises to the cornice and folds in even folds. It can be fixed in any position: for example, open the entire window or only its lower part. 

Roll or roller shutters

Another type of window decoration with a lifting mechanism. But unlike Roman roller curtains, when lifting, the fabric does not fold, but is wound on a rounded rod.

Such textiles are usually attached not to the wall above the window, but directly to the window frame and covers the glass directly. 

Window blind

Designers often completely abandon textiles and choose blinds. However, I will not look stylish every time.

If we analyze modern design projects, we can conclude that horizontal blinds made of metal or wood are relevant. They are actively used in any premises, both for standard and panoramic windows. 

Curtains or drapes: types of classic textiles

The thinnest and weightless type of curtains, of course, is tulle. But he stands apart. Usually it is not classified as curtains, but is considered separately. 

Trends-2023: what curtains are in fashion?

Trends in textile design, as a rule, correspond to general trends in the design of residential spaces. The most fashionable curtains in the interior in the photo and in our items below. 

Forms

Minimalism and conciseness. We have been observing this trend for several years and so far it is not going to give up positions. What are the fashion trends in curtain design in 2023? This is primarily the simplicity of lines and shapes. Complex, voluminous draperies, ruffles, flounces, fringes are all better left for deliberately stylized spaces where it is necessary to emphasize belonging to a certain era or a specific style: classical or, for example, Provence, rustic. In an ordinary apartment with small rooms and low ceilings, such decor looks artificial and inappropriate. Designers prefer clean, clear shapes and lines, refuse unnecessary details. The fashionable style of curtains is restrained and concise. 

Fabrics

The desire for environmental friendliness of the house is also preserved. This means completely natural fabrics or high-quality blended materials.

From what it is better to abandon obviously artificial fabrics, with a strong shine, unpleasant tactile. Home textiles should be attractive not only visually, but also give a pleasant feeling when touched. Both smooth fabrics and textured ones are relevant, for example, jacquard, linen, matting. 

Color and prints

There are no unambiguously fashionable colors of curtains. Everyone has dozens of shades, and you can find one that will suit a particular interior. However, there are trends that can be fixed and tracked.

The analysis of modern projects of Russian and foreign designers makes us understand that the natural palette is still relevant: shades of brown, beige, sand tones, muted shades of green, blue, as well as achromats of white, gray, black. Two-tone curtains also remain popular. Moreover, the colors can change both horizontally and vertically. These are either two related shades, then one smoothly turns into the second, or two contrasting colors. 

As for prints, it is worth noting that in most projects we see monochrome solutions or a color block. With a print, they are slightly less common. Usually it is either a floral pattern or a geometric one. 

How is it fashionable to hang curtains?

Today, several options are relevant at once. And this is not only a classic duet of curtains and tulle, although it remains in demand. 

For example, tulle is often abandoned altogether, leaving only curtains or curtains on the window. This is suitable for rooms where there is not enough natural light. Next to the simple and concise options for window decor, there has been another trend for several seasons - layered compositions. What do they look like? Let's show it with examples. It can be a roll-up curtain and classic curtains. Or a Roman duet with classic floor-length curtains. Sometimes a duet turns into a trio altogether. For example, tulle is also added to curtains, Roman or roll-up curtains. But perhaps the most unusual and spectacular combination: modern, minimalistic metal blinds in tandem with classic curtains made of dense, elegant fabric, or in company with light, weightless curtains. 

Window textiles in the interior of different rooms

When choosing window textiles and decor, it is worth focusing not only on the overall design solution, but also on the features of the room where the window is located. 

Living room

This is usually the most spacious room in an apartment or house. And also the room where we spend the most time, we receive guests. Therefore, the interior of the living room is usually different from the interior of other rooms. He is more elegant, personable. Dense, heavy curtains will fit here if you need to achieve greater solemnity and respectability. These can be products with voluminous drapery with pronounced, large folds. However, if an atmosphere of lightness is created in the living room, you want more daylight and air, choose thin, translucent curtains made of cotton or linen or weightless and almost completely transparent tulle. By the way, if there is no need to hide from prying eyes, the latter can be used solo. 

Along with the natural palette, the living room allows the use of sufficiently bright, saturated, but deep, complex colors.  Other types of window decor are also suitable for the living room: Roman curtains, roller blinds, blinds. This is the room where multi-layered solutions will look good. 

Bedroom

A place to rest, recuperate and recharge. The interior of this room, as a rule, sets up relaxation. Hence the choice of textiles: usually in calm, muted tones. Blackout and dimout fabrics are good for the bedroom. The former almost completely absorb daylight, the latter slightly less, but also create sufficient darkness for sleeping. 

Most often, a classic duet of curtains and tulle is chosen for the bedroom. But often it is in this room that a workplace is organized, and a window sill is used as a countertop. Or a dressing table is placed near the window. Another option is to turn the windowsill into a cozy sofa. In all these cases, a good solution would be to replace traditional curtains with Roman or roll-up ones, or with blinds. 

Kitchen

This is a complex room in terms of its functioning and microclimate inside. Steam, temperature changes, humidity, food odors are the factors that need to be taken into account. Floor-length curtains are suitable for spacious rooms where there is room for a headset, a separate dining group and convenient passages between them. It is better not to place long, voluminous models near a gas stove and other sources of potential danger. 

In compact rooms, where it is not possible to observe convenient distances, textiles with a lifting mechanism or shortened versions, up to the window sill, will look better. Blinds will also be a good choice. It is good if textile fabrics are treated with impregnation to protect against humidity and fire. 

We select curtains for interiors of different styles

Contemporary

This is a modern style that has absorbed elements of some other trends. The influence of minimalism is felt here. Therefore, when choosing textiles for windows, it is better to prefer concise, restrained options.

First of all, this concerns forms and decorative details. Classic floor-length canvases, Roman, roll-up, and blinds will be appropriate here. But the design should not be overloaded. Models of simple shapes will do. At the same time, contemporary likes a combination of different textures. Curtains of a strict shape, but made of textured, soft fabric, will look interesting. The color palette is mostly muted, calm. However, curtains may well become an accent. In this case, the rest of the design of the space should be predominantly neutral. The abundance of bright color spots is not typical for contemporary. 

Scandinavian style

Scandinavian style is based on simplicity, practicality, abundance of light and light shades. It is not only white, but also shades of gray, beige.

This also applies to textiles. Preference is given to natural fabrics or high-quality blended. At the same time, textiles should not be too heavy and voluminous. Windows in Scandinavian interiors are left as open as possible to let in natural light. And curtains are needed to add comfort. Therefore, it is better to choose light, light, translucent canvases or laconic rolled or Roman. Wooden blinds are also suitable. 

Japandi

This direction is at the junction of Scandinavian and Japanese styles. Therefore, here again we see restrained interiors, where the emphasis is on functionality and practicality.

In such spaces you will not find a lot of decor, bright color accents, rich prints. The textiles are simple, plain. Interiors in the style of japandi are very close to eco-style. Therefore, preference is given to natural shades, natural fabrics. 

Neoclassic

Neoclassicism inherited from the classics the desire to observe certain canons, the love of symmetry, pastel, noble colors and deep, complex, rich shades, elegant decorativeness. However, this style is much more democratic.

Curtains in such interiors create comfort, add refined luxury. Therefore, you can move away from the principles of minimalism, use more elegant fabrics, handle color more boldly and even introduce decorative details, for example, laconic pickups, brushes. Among the Roman ones, you can choose both traditional and cascading models, which are decorated with symmetrical folds in a straightened form. Blinds look interesting and contrasting in such interiors.
