Many do not imagine the tulle in the kitchen in dark color. It is believed that dark gray, brown, chocolate or black tulle will look dark. In small kitchens this will really be the case.

What types of curtains are relevant in 2016
Every season dictates something new. Fashionable trends in window design were no exception. This year, the following types of curtains are of particular relevance:
- Designer tulle. Now it’s fashionable to use creative and elegant curtains for window decoration. Using designer curtains in interior design, this does not mean paying a lot of money for them. You can independently develop their design and bring it to life. Such a tulle among others will highlight unusual accents or decoration, and then the most ordinary tulle turns into a design one.
Why do many housewives choose tulle for a window in the kitchen
- Durability. No material can be compared with tulle curtains in strength. Without losing color and texture for many years, the curtains can be altered, decorated with new elements, picked up - design solutions know no boundaries.
- Ease of care. The window in the kitchen, like the curtains, should be washed and cleaned approximately once a month. Even with the optimum hood, this part of the kitchen interior needs systematic care. Tulle, like no other material, is easy to wash. It is enough to soak the curtains, observing the technology of washing synthetic things, slightly stretch and rinse well. If there is no cotton or other natural threads in the thread filling of the tulle, it does not need to be ironed. Many housewives hang the pressed tulle right on the window. The material dries in half an hour, does not stretch and does not fold.
- Cheapness. The range of curtains for the kitchen window ranges from budget to very expensive. Tulle has a standard low price with the extraordinary beauty of the fabric. The structure of tulle weaving suggests that it is a light, airy material with a large number of open cells. Due to the structure of the fabric, tulle curtains have always been used as a rich decoration; this fabric can decorate any interior and hide possible room imperfections.
Organza
Organza tulle is made by tight weaving. The material is solid, but it passes air quite easily if weaving involves the use of natural silk.
Despite the obvious simplicity of execution, this drapery looks very impressive.
Organza made of synthetic threads is much cheaper and in appearance does not differ from silk. The only difference can be considered not so high hygroscopicity of the material.
For a kitchen window, organza tulle in white or pastel color will be a rich addition. By visually increasing the space, such a curtain will keep cool on a hot day.
Grid
The type of weaving mesh can be obtained from both natural (cotton, linen) and synthetic threads (viscose). Weaving is quite simple, as a result, the fabric resembles a small, or large mesh. Woven multi-colored threads allow you to choose both plain and multi-colored curtains.
In such a curtain, the grid can be either large or small.
The advantage of synthetic tulle net is that the kitchen window will be securely closed from prying eyes, and the hostess will be able to control everything that happens on the street. The disadvantages of the material include the fact that dust accumulates quickly enough on the grid, but the ease of washing quickly removes this disadvantage.
Weaving veil
Tulle type veil can be used not only for the kitchen window, but also as the main curtain in the living room or bedroom. The fabric has a dense structure, although it is made from thin synthetic yarns.
The applied print makes the veil a very rich material, so this curtain does not require additions. Among the shortcomings of the material: the kitchen tulle from the veil requires ironing, since the fabric is subject to deformation regardless of whether it was used in natural or artificial threads.
Batiste Tulle
Extra-class cotton threads, when woven, form a smooth and thin structure. When embroidered with cambric tulle, when choosing a color scheme suitable for a particular interior, it will be able to create a special flavor and comfort in the kitchen. Batiste - the material is natural, after washing (quite simple - the material cannot be machine washed, bleached, boiled), ironing is required.
Batiste tulles look very expensive in the interior.
Chiffon fabric
Chiffon tulle is structural, with a convex pattern, many colored threads or plain - a colorful option for a kitchen window. Even flowerpots with flowers fade against the backdrop of such a curtain. It is made of synthetically threads, it is easily erased, not ironed. The only difficulty can be sewing the necessary curtain, the material crumbles along the raw edges.
Jacquard weave
Embossed tulle is made of threads of various thicknesses with a variety of patterns. It is on jacquard tulles that fabulous gardens flourish and birds of paradise sing. The most expensive material, but it pays off with its durability. The jacquard curtain will last at least 40-50 years, without losing color and maintaining structure.
Tulle for the kitchen has extraordinary decorative features.
Short tulle
The method of decorating using a short curtain is quite practical. However, housewives should not forget about the rules of fire safety - Do not hang curtains that come in contact with the stove near the stove.
A short organza or veil tulle will fill the kitchen with ease and increase the space. By hanging a tulle with a wide window, and decorating the opening with folds, you can achieve a classic design.
Curtains hanging on decorative hooks, as in the photo, harmoniously fit into this design.
Decorating the bottom of the short tulle with a wide border in the color of the walls, and picking up the tulle along the edges, the Mediterranean version of the design is achieved.
Using this method of attaching tulle to the cornice, as wide loops sewn from the same material as the main curtains, they create a country style or a medieval European style of village housing.
Long tulle
A long tulle curtain on the floor is only suitable if the kitchen has a large working area. In small rooms to hang a long tulle is not practical and inappropriate. Even if the curtain will consist of two halves, so that access to the window is convenient, a long tulle will most often interfere with the hostess, and not please.
In large kitchens, where the space near the window is free, or there is a dining table, you can use jacquard tulle as an addition to the interior. A beautiful, juicy drawing and bright colors will always please the hostess, even if there are no more decorative elements in the kitchen.
Arched tulle
A curtain that opens a window but has hanging ends, a convenient and practical option for both small kitchens and large dining rooms.
An arched curtain is a win-win option for windows facing the north side, where there is not enough sunlight.
When decorating an interior in the Provence style, they often use a tulle arch with a wide decorative bead. As the main material they take a veil or a cambric without a bright pattern. The arch can be placed in the window opening as folds, and slightly wavy. The design of the curtain allows both to protect the kitchen from prying eyes, and to provide air access.
Half Tulle
A window curtain of two, three halves would be a good decor if, in addition to the window in the kitchen, there is a balcony door. Each element of the curtain can be selected from various materials, draping a window opening from tulle jacquard to chiffon and cambric.
With a combination of tulle with installed blinds, you can quickly decorate the interior in modern style. This option is used in those rooms that are located on the sunny side, and the hostess may experience stuffiness on a hot sunny day.
The color and texture of the material for sewing tulle can be completely diverse.
If preference is given to oriental style, instead of blinds, curtains are used as an addition. But a window design with curtains will be appropriate only in large kitchens, with sufficient air intake.
Tulle on eyelets
Eyelets or metal rings along the edges of the tulle make it easy to hang the material on the window. By hiding the grommets in the kitchen ledge or vice versa, leaving them on top, you can achieve an exclusive design of the room.
Eyelets - curtain fasteners in the form of metal, wooden or plastic rings, framing round holes in the upper part of the curtains.
In addition to metal curtains, there are plastic eyelets on the curtain curtains and the edge of the curtains with a braided cord similar to a grommet. The main criterion for choosing the type of eyelet is the individual taste of the hostess and the overall interior of the kitchen.
There are several practical recommendations for choosing a metal eyelet:
- Tolerance to corrosion. The metal should be well crafted.
- The density of the insert. The ring should not have a sharp, cutting edge.
- Uniformity. Eyelets should be clearly located along the edge of the tulle.
The most beautiful are jacquard colored tulles on the grommets of yellow (gold) color. On rich fabric, these decorative elements look like precious metal.
Tulle curtain with lambrequin
French style involves lambrequin drapery. Lambrequin as a separate drapery over the entire width of the cornice is perfectly combined with tulle from any material. The main rule is that the lambrequin itself should be made of lightweight material, preferably in texture matching the main fabric.
In addition to a beautiful view, lambrequins hide the cornice - this is the practical side of using this drapery.
Lambrequins can be sewn directly to the curtain itself, can be hung separately. This addition is combined with a short, long tulle, a tulle of two halves.
Lambrequin is a short static curtain that is hung out over the entire width of the cornice or window opening.
If the kitchen curtain is sewn in the form of an arch, it is not recommended to use a lambrequin by designers, it is clumsy and inappropriate. If the tulle is attached with grommets, then they themselves perform a decorative function, complementing the cornice with a lambert will not be aesthetically pleasing.
The assortment of tulle, decorative inserts, and decorating methods is so numerous that the mistresses are tempted to fit all styles and designs into one window opening.
You should not rush, each woman has her own unique interior, and finding it is quite simple, you just need not to be afraid to experiment.
Fabrics for kitchen curtains
The most popular synthetic fabrics used to decorate a kitchen room are the following:
As an additional decor, factory embroidery is often used. In the kitchen, a curtain with embroidered flowers or a light abstract ornament is very appropriate.
The modern design of the curtains in the kitchen involves the use of textiles with fashionable prints. Of modern curtain decoration technologies, a devore (etching with chemical substances of patterns) or batik are also used. But the use of such fabrics in the kitchen is rarely allowed because of the high cost of the material.
Kiseya (filament, rope curtains) with all its transparency perfectly protects the window from prying eyes, but at the same time lets in fresh air and gives a feeling of lightness and weightlessness. In kitchens, a plain monochromatic muslin or one that imitates a rainbow looks attractive.
Practicality of kitchen curtains
Modern manufacturers of textile products offer a wide selection of fabrics designed specifically for use in the kitchen. These are factory impregnated dust and grease repellent materials. That is, using such curtains, you can be calm that it will not deteriorate from accidental contact with fat on the fabric, and after washing it will not lose its previous color scheme.
A popular option is a ready-made tulle in the kitchen in the form of muslin with impregnation. They are loved by consumers for their attractive design and practicality. Washing these blinds does not present any problems: the threads are placed in a warm soapy solution, rinsed with hands, rinse the soap under a directed stream of water and allow the product to dry in a semi-dry state directly on the cornice.
The use of curtains made of natural textiles on kitchen windows is acceptable (for example, when decorating a room in the Country or Provence style), but it is not considered practical, because the beautiful tulle in the kitchen is worn out with frequent washing, and greasy or dirty stains are problematic. In addition, during prolonged use in an environment with high humidity, harmful bacteria can settle on natural fibers, which is unacceptable in relation to the kitchen.
Ideal - synthetic tulle curtains for the kitchen.
Synthetic benefits
Visually synthetic curtains are in no way inferior to natural. In the production process, the following raw materials are used:
- polyester fibers (lavsan, dacron),
- polyacrylonitrile fibers (orlon, nitron),
- polyamide fiber.
Synthetic Model
A decorative fabric made using such raw materials is distinguished by a mass of the following advantages:
- Resistance to damage, durability.
- Low susceptibility to high temperatures.
- Environmental friendliness.
- The absence of elements that can cause allergic reactions or release substances harmful to human health into the atmosphere.
- Resistance to moisture.
- Immunity to the spread of harmful microorganisms (mold, fungi) on the surface.
- Durability of operation.
Tip: if the kitchen windows face the sunny side, it is not recommended to decorate them with bright fabrics that enhance the warm effect. Such an interior is difficult to tolerate on hot summer days. But the tulle in the kitchen in yellow and orange shades (if there are similar accessories in the kitchen interior) is appropriate for decorating a window opening located on the north side.
Types of tulle in the kitchen
When choosing a tulle for a kitchen, they suggest its compatibility with many kitchen attributes and accessories. Often used companion fabrics, that is, those that are aesthetically combined with each other. Let's say there is a beige tablecloth. If using a similar fabric for curtains seems a boring option, apply a similar tonality canvas, but with a pattern that matches the style.
Tip: in the case of a small kitchen room, designers do not recommend using more than 2 colors, only their shades are acceptable.
Arched curtains
Arched curtains are widely used in decorating window openings made in the form of an arch. Often such techniques are used in the construction of private houses or country cottages.
Curtains for arched windows are hung in several ways:
- on a flat ledge above an arch,
- overlapping, creating heavy creases,
- in the form of an arch.
Also popular was the method of decorating the arched opening with rope curtains.
If the ceilings in the kitchen are high, then the arch is decorated with lambrequins that can visually expand the space and give the necessary notes of comfort.
But even in a standard apartment with ordinary rectangular windows, you can beat the visualization of the arch. Using curtains of this design they create an imitation of an arched window: it is considered unusual and stylish, gives the room charm and hones the aesthetics of the decor.
Curtains create 2 types of arches:
Tulle curtains with an arch to the kitchen create an unusual geometry of the kitchen, soften the corners, as a result of which the atmosphere is more comfortable.
Looks nice option with arched curtains, intercepted in the corners by ribbons, pickups.
It is better that the curtain in the kitchen is not long, because this room involves constant cleaning and mopping.
Curtains on grommets
Tulle to the kitchen on the grommets differs from other types in that due to the round elements beautiful uniform folds are created.
The grommets are attached to the upper part of the canvas, they are strung on a cornice, resulting in a finished decor of a window opening with a neatly draped fabric.
Eyelets are made of metal and plastic; they can be located close to each other or at large distances. The heavier the tulle and the smaller the distance between the grommets, the larger the folds will turn out, and vice versa.
For a large room
Spacious kitchen allows you to use a lot of decorative techniques. Here, any, even heavy and expensive, curtains are appropriate. If the window is far from the stove, you can choose long curtains. The closer the fabric is to the source of pollution, the shorter it is made, and ideally they are tied to the sides.
Classically decorated kitchen room allows a lot of decor options. A prerequisite is a harmonious color combination.
It is important to adhere to the style in which the kitchen is decorated. If this is Provence, a cheerful tulle in the kitchen with floral motifs is suitable, and Country suggests checkered tulle curtains in the kitchen. The room designed in Scandinavian style suggests a minimalistic tulle in the kitchen of light colors that is not overloaded with images.
Often, in the interior of the kitchen, the option is used when the windows are hung with Roman curtains in bright colors, and curtains are attached on top.
A stronger and stronger curtain fabric is chosen if it is planned to use tulle in the kitchen with a balcony.
Window with bay window
If necessary, decorate windows with a bay window, several options are allowed. If the ceilings are high - use lambrequins. If low - just shade the interior with textile drapery, festoon or shuttlecock on the curtain.
If the bay window in the kitchen is designed as a niche, then the windows are decorated with Roman curtains or blinds, and at the border of the niche and the room hang curtains fixed on the sides with hooks.
The design of tulle in the kitchen determines the interior aura of the room, its mood. When choosing the type of fabric for the kitchen, it is important to consider the quality characteristics of the textiles, as well as the overall style orientation of the room. Subject to all design recommendations, a comfortable and cozy interior is created.
Options for Tulle Curtains for the Kitchen
Tulle has a patterned or mesh structure, it is smooth and patterned. There are several options for patterned:
- Organza is made from a mixture of polyester and silk. Gentle and smooth, it is great for decorating the kitchen window, while it does not shrink after washing and creases slightly. There is an organza of various colors - from classic white to acid green. Curtains are matte shiny, with patterns or perforated. Organza does not conceal sunlight, but gently passes it through itself, so that a warm glow appears in the kitchen. It is recommended to wash such a tulle manually.
- Kisei. A unique variety, representing a lot of thin threads. The birthplace of such curtains is India, where the curtains were first made from nettles, and then their cotton. Top threads are connected by special weaving. There is a muslin with lurex, beads, sequins, beads. Before washing, the kitten is simply removed from the window and tied in several places with a tape or tied in a knot. Kissa does not need ironing.
- Veil. The basis of fabric production is plain weave. They make fabric from cotton, wool or linen, so this tulle is 100% environmentally friendly. Outwardly, the veil is similar to organza, but differs in a more delicate and matte structure.The veil is universal, harmoniously fits into the design of any interior. Among the shortcomings, the need for special care is noted — washing alone will not be enough.
- Grid. This type of tulle was named for its external similarity to the fishing net. Distinguish a simple grid, with embroidery, with cells of a rectangular shape. Such curtains do not sag, keep a fresh and attractive look for a long time. The grid tolerates washing well, dries quickly. Curtains look interesting both on their own and with thicker curtains. This combination is easy to decorate on your own, for example, embroidery or garters.
When is a long or short tulle suitable?
The long one is great for a window with a balcony door. The fabric will change the interior of any room: it will hide the balcony door, provide easy access, mask the unevenness of the walls. Tulle creates the effect of weightlessness, visually enlarges a small kitchen. 
It is recommended that the distance between the curtains and the floor be at least 5-6 cm. This is practical because the curtains will not touch the floor and retain their appearance for longer. Moreover, curtains in the floor visually raise the ceilings. If you want to give the kitchen a luxurious look, the bottom of the tulle is laid on the floor, leaving 10-15 cm free. From the point of view of practicality, this is not rational, but it looks spectacular in classic interiors.
Short tulle for the kitchen - a solution for small windows. Such curtains do not overload the space, look cozy in the styles of Provence, country, retro. The compact tulle is easier to clean and less prone to contamination during cooking. Miniature curtains are indispensable in kitchens with windows to the north side.

After rinsing with clean water, hanged for drying, without squeezing or twisting. When the tulle becomes a little wet, they hang it on the ledge, where it will be smoothed out.
