Interior blinds: the best model for every furnishing context

How to choose curtains for the interior of your home? These furnishing elements often and willingly remain the last to be chosen and installed. However, it is good to design the curtains to be installed in your home in good time, especially with regard to technical spaces.

Here are some important tips and suggestions on how to choose modern curtains for your interior spaces.

How to choose curtains in your home?

The first thing to think about when choosing home curtains is the type of fabric that characterises them: is it better to opt for a light fabric or, on the contrary, to prefer a heavy fabric?

Or is it better to choose a plain or patterned fabric? Another question that must inevitably be asked by a person who has to buy home curtains is the following: should the curtains I am going to buy need to completely darken my home?

After answering all these questions you will have to consider further factors when choosing the most suitable home curtains for your needs and requirements. In this regard we will consider the length of the curtains and the different types of sliding: rails, double curtains, panel, sliding, or even roller, packet, Venetian blinds and whoever has more.

Home curtains: elements able to solve some furnishing problems

Home curtains are too often underestimated as a furnishing element. It is enough to think of how the choice of elegant, functional and sophisticated modern curtains is able to solve some furnishing problems that may affect one's own spaces. The choice of curtains that are perfectly suited to one's own environment is in some ways the icing on the cake capable of creating a perfect look and style.

But what are the main types of contemporary curtains? Below is the classification of the main modern curtains available on the market:

• Classic roller blinds
• Soft or curly curtains
• Modern panel blinds
• Indoor blinds to package
• Horizontal or vertical blinds

Classic roller blinds

We could define classic roller blinds as blinds-not blinds. This type of furniture is usually used for medium-large windows, since roller blinds are able to darken windows without the aid of drapes. Roller blinds are also particularly easy to clean.

From a stylistic point of view, roller blinds are particularly suitable for spaces characterised by a minimalist design and in which simple colours and colours are used. Modern roller blinds have innovative mechanisms that allow remote control with the use of a practical remote control.

The twin roller blinds are very interesting: they are furnishings that alternate a covering band with a transparent band. This type of blinds is particularly suitable for those environments that need light and privacy at the same time.

On the market it is also possible to buy some models of roller blinds that can be installed directly on the glass, in order to make the opening of the door considerably easier. Generally roller blinds represent solutions able to solve space problems.

Soft or curly curtains

Soft curtains are certainly the most widespread model of curtains in the homes of Italians. This type of blinds is particularly suitable for all those rooms in which there is a French window, characterized by a frequent passage.

Among the soft curtains there are the classic drop-down curtains, used for particularly elegant night and day furnishing contexts. A characteristic of these curtains is the possibility of making them fall sinuously onto the floor: however, not everyone likes this feature of drop-down curtains. In fact, some people think that drop curtains are not very hygienic: this is the main negative aspect of furnishing elements that are however able to make a particularly suggestive and sophisticated environment.

Downward blinds can be composed in many different ways: single, double or triple. Fabrics of any type and sticks made with a great variety of materials and characterized by the most different shapes can also be used.

For drop curtains that touch the floor it is better to avoid the use of fabrics such as linen and cotton that are crumpled or characterised by asymmetrical shapes. These fabrics may shrink and lose their initial size when first washed, and then become defective when repositioned. Linen is a material that tends to shorten over time and in the case of a curtain, this could affect the hold of the furniture.

Even as far as curtains curtains are concerned, today it is possible to choose between different solutions: on the market there are in fact curtains with kissed fold, with flat fold, and again with fan fold, knotted, inclined and characterized by many other variants.

Modern panel blinds

Modern panel blinds are a valid alternative to curtains. This model of curtains is characterized by the presence of rigid sliding panels, perfect to be arranged on large windows or furnishing contexts where it is necessary to change the configuration of the darkening in the rooms during the day.

It is possible to customise the panels and you do not need any cord to move them.

Indoor blinds to package

We could define the indoor blinds as a variant or a middle way between curtain and roller blinds. This model of blinds is particularly suitable for a contemporary furnishing context in which we want to give a touch of modernity and style, with a stylistic solution different from the one using roller blinds.

Horizontal or vertical blinds

There are two types of Venetian blinds: horizontal and vertical. Today as in the past, Venetian blinds represent a common and in some ways timeless furnishing solution. Venetian blinds are particularly suitable for office furnishing contexts, creating truly interesting and evocative light-shadow effects and contrasts.

The Venetian blind is fixed to the wall or ceiling, covering the entire niche. Nowadays, in addition to the classic manual blinds, there are also blinds with remote control. When the slats of the furniture are horizontal with respect to the floor, they allow a perfect view of the outside.

Modern blinds: contemporary sticks

Modern awnings today are increasingly characterized by retractable sticks and decidedly minimal and imperceptible. For the preparation and installation of modern blinds, cuts are generally made in the false ceiling, for the positioning of the respective rails, which are thus hidden. If there is no false ceiling in your room, in such circumstances you can use a veil or frame, or a particularly thin and not very visible stick. As far as the installation of contemporary blinds is concerned, it is also important to specify how the new systems are equipped with a practical steel roller that slides on a tube or cable with an extremely small diameter.

These systems are characterised by the possibility of being extended practically infinitely, thanks to the typical through-hole shape of the support.

The best curtains for every room in the house

Here are our recommendations for choosing the most suitable curtains for every room in your home.

Modern interior blinds: the best curtains for the living room

The most suitable stylistic and functional solution for the living room environment is undoubtedly soft curtains.

Modern kitchen tents

As far as the kitchen environment is concerned, you can choose between two solutions: you can opt for the installation of a roller blind or alternatively for a soft blind, depending on your aesthetic tastes and technical requirements.

In general our advice is to use a maximum of two different types of blinds in adjacent rooms, such as the living area and the kitchen.

Modern bedroom curtains

For a bedroom or children's bedroom, it is best to opt for soft double drape curtains: in this way you will have the possibility to darken the sleeping area with extreme ease.
