Living room curtains: learn how to choose the perfect model for you

The curtains in the living room, regardless of the model, have several features and end up being indispensable in this environment. In addition to privacy, the curtain protects furniture from excessive light, softens the wind and prevents reflections on the television, for example.

Some points should be taken into account when choosing the curtain for your living room. The material used must be easy to clean and need to suit the effect you want to give the environment.

The style of the environment also needs to be taken into account. If your living room is classic, opt for more noble fabrics that fit and adjust to a rod or rail. If you are a fan of a contemporary style and your living room is more modern, a blind can compose this environment very well.

What is the ideal model for your living room?

Having a curtain in the room is essential, you already know that. Now, which model to choose? Interior designer Mariana Vigné, from Duplex Interiores, explained the uniqueness of each model to help you choose which one is best suited to your environment.

Man

The biggest advantage of rods is that they are easy to install and affordable. According to the interior designer, the curtain rod model is perfect for more rustic environments. A tip is to opt for a wooden rod.

Rail

The rail model is the most common, but it requires some complements for the environment to be harmonious. It is necessary to hide the trail with a band or make a plaster curtain to hide it, suggests Mariana. Being careful when opening and closing this curtain is also important. If you move too quickly, the curtain could go off the rails.

Romana

The curtain in the Roman model is super charming and chic. The only negative point, according to Mariana, is that it is necessary to have space for when it is fully retracted, usually the size of a “segment” of it. If her living room is large and has a lot of space, the Roman curtain is a great indication.

Roll

“Very simple, low cost and simple and quick installation!”, says interior designer Mariana Vigné. Like the Roman, she needs a larger space for gathering. It can be composed with a more fluid fabric curtain to leave the environment with a touch of charm.

Panel

The panel curtain has the same characteristics as the Roman one. When they are closed they are very similar. The panel curtain works as a sliding door, ideal for those who do not give up practicality. A nice tip that Mariana gives is to decorate the curtain with ribbons and details in the frames.

horizontal blinds

They are practical and the options for colors, materials and finishes are diverse. The interior designer says that, despite their versatility, they don’t make the environment very cozy.

vertical blinds

Like horizontal blinds, vertical blinds are versatile and modern. If your living room has a more contemporary feel, they can be a good choice!

Just as each model has its particularity, the rooms also have different needs. Now it’s up to you to choose which curtain is ideal for your room to look beautiful and with your face.

Color: a factor that makes all the difference

Choosing the color of any object is a very personal decision. In the case of curtains for the living room it is no different. If you like bolder and darker colors, think about using them in decoration details, as these colors tend to get boring over time. Opt for neutral and light tones in the curtains, this way your room will be cozy and convey calm. If you want to block out outside light, don’t use dark curtains. In these cases it is better to use a blackout with a curtain over it. Interior designer Mariana Vigné says that the fabrics most used in living room curtains are linen, linen gauze and voile.
