Kitchen

From olive to emerald: green curtains in the interior of the kitchen

Bright and rich green curtains visually expand the interior, filling it with light. The importance of green and light green colors is noted by psychologists, focusing on the ability of these interior details to soothe. To achieve a good result will help the balance between green and yellow. It is selected taking into account the functional load of the room, its area and the color prevailing in the room.

The value of green curtains in the interior

Geographic features must be taken into account not only by travelers, but also by citizens who plan to mark curtains in the interior in green or light green tones. Are the room windows facing west or east?

The more light enters the room during the day, the darker the shade should be chosen. In second place in terms of importance is the height of the ceiling.

The lower they are, the less additional parts you need to use. For example, even a small pelmet will visually “eat” a lot of floor space.

In addition to these recommendations, designers focus on a number of others:

  • In small rooms, it is recommended to abandon massive curtains,
  • For the houses in which the kids live, you need to choose grassy shades of green,
  • Emerald and coniferous shades will help to create an atmosphere of calm,
  • Fans of classic design should pay attention to the shade with olives,
  • For the office, muted dark green shades are selected.

When it comes to green in the interior, you need to remember the right choice of shade. First you need to determine the daily amount of light entering the room. The larger it is, the more darkened version of the curtains is needed. After this, pay attention to the functional component of the room. If a grassy shade is suitable for a nursery, then for an office where maximum concentration is required, extremely muted tones.

The combination of light green curtains with other shades

Designers on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean speak of the sufficiency of green, but this is not a reason for abandoning all kinds of experiments. For example, sand tulle will complement the restrained green curtain in a classic living room. If households rely on natural motives, then the choice must be made in favor of a combination of brown and green.

In nature, the mentioned alliance is often found - a tree and leaves. To realize the "green" notes in the interior will help the balance between the wallpaper in a beige and sand shade and a touch of emerald.

In addition, designers offer to pay attention to a number of other harmonious combinations:

  1. Black and green - We are talking about saturated green color, acting as a strong visual accent. It cannot be placed in the bedroom, but in the living room it is quite appropriate.
  2. Gray and green - a classic combination of colors, which not everyone can enter into the interior the first time. Greater attention should be paid to the degree of saturation of gray. The larger the room, the more profitable it looks curtains of turquoise or malachite.
  3. Blue and green - Looks great in an aristocratic living room. It is important to remember here that for small rooms this combination is not suitable.
  4. White and green - Despite the fact that this is a classic combination of colors, increased caution is required. You can often hear that such a balance cannot look natural. It seems that you are inside an uninhabited shooting pavilion. To fix the situation, small designer accessories in pink or yellow will help.

The right combination of colors allows you to visually transform the room. We are talking about an accessible visual space and the general mood of the comfort of those who are in the hall or bedroom. The main thing is to take into account the dimensions of the room and the degree of its illumination.

Choose green curtains in the kitchen

Lightness and practicality are two qualities that should dominate the room. If it is appropriate to buy “heavy” and dense curtains in the hall, then light curtains of pistachio color are appropriate for the kitchen.

Avoid common mistakes will help taking into account the dimensions of the room and the degree of its illumination. For a budget kitchen that faces north, curtains that focus on the window opening are suitable.

If there is a lot of sunlight in the room, then you need to choose more long curtains of olive color. The situation is more complicated when it comes to non-standard kitchens.

In this case, pay attention to the recommendations listed below:

  1. The spacious kitchen needs a few visual accents. Green light curtains complement white curtains.
  2. If dark shades prevail, then it is appropriate to make a choice in favor of light tones. For example, emerald curtains and light beige curtains will bring the necessary variety.

The kitchen is the place where food is prepared, and households meet. To give the functional zone the necessary dynamism will help to correctly take into account the dimensions of the room and the degree of its lighting. Do not lose sight of the prevailing shades in the room.

How successful are green curtains in the interior of the living room: tips for beginners

Despite the positive reviews regarding this color, not everyone is in a hurry to choose it for the room. Designers are explained by two facts. Firstly, for many, classical and much outdated canons are significant. Burgundy white and sand white are the 2 most common combinations, which are not, in fact, true in the last resort.

Secondly, many people are afraid of creative experiments due to the lack of necessary experience.

In this regard, designers have developed a number of practical recommendations:

  • Many swearing combination of brown-white and yellow-bog looks logical in rooms where modern is dominant,
  • If the living room has more combinations of dark beige or sand, then the choice must be made in favor of not saturated grassy,
  • Roman curtains of a dark beige shade are appropriate in a room where the emphasis is on minimalism.

General requirements for kitchen curtains ↑

If you liked the idea and you have already looked for a suitable fabric, do not rush to buy it and engage in tailoring. Not all textiles are suitable for use in the kitchen: some types of material must be used carefully, while others should be eliminated altogether. Magnificent emerald velvet, repeating the shade of your eyes, it is better to save for the bedroom, as the cooking room "loves" more practical options.

Green corner in the apartment

When choosing weaving and the basic tone of the fabric, one should start from the stylistic direction in interior design and everything that is usually taken into account when drawing up a project: area, layout, presence of headsets, wall and floor finishes. For example, luxurious multi-layer curtains of sparkling malachite organza on an area of ​​5 m² will look strange, while light curtains of the same color, decorated with a small floral print, are quite appropriate.

Airy combination with white color

So, remember a few simple rules:

  • the length and type of products correspond to the size of the room: the smaller it is, the shorter the curtains,
  • the texture and color of the material are combined with the style of the product - brocade is not suitable for the Roman variety (and indeed for the kitchen), and chintz - for heavy curtains and lambrequins,
  • we give preference to natural fabrics or textiles with a high content of natural fibers (flax, cotton, bamboo),
  • Do not forget about leaving - the selected fabric should be well washed, even if stained with fat or berry juice.

Unobtrusive muted tones help create a calm, harmonious atmosphere.

The quality of the fabric should be such that it does not fade in the sun and does not fade after each wash.

The reaction to the sun's rays is difficult to verify, and the properties of the dyes used are easy: try to lather a piece of cloth with soap and rinse with warm water. If the water gets a greenish tint, it is better to refuse the material.

What types of draperies are preferable ↑

The classification of curtains is great, and almost all types can be safely used to finish the kitchen. If the footage allows or if it is necessary to equip the studio, a classic is suitable for the floor, regardless of performance: with pickups and lambrequins, curly edges and braid trim, bright prints and inconceivable combinations of various textures.

Straight canvases combined with a tulle curtain

However, for small rooms it is better to use curtains of a small size, without elaborate accessories and layering. Pay attention to the so-called "grandmother" curtains - a set of three small elements. One, with the width of the window, is mounted on top, and two short curtains (40-60 cm) - about the middle. They are held by tightly stretched braid or a thin metal rod.

Short colored assembly curtains

Use the possibilities of the cornice, experiment with options for attaching the fabric to the holders - there are many original solutions that are ideal for the kitchen:

  • wide loops
  • decorative ties
  • metal and plastic eyelets,
  • fastenings without cornice.

The last point is intended for fans of extraordinary solutions who do not consider the curtain rod an obligatory part for fixing the curtains.

Eyelets strung directly on hooks mounted on the wall

We recommend supporters of restraint in the interior to pay attention to draperies in a simple style, without natural folds, lambrequins and fringe pickups. These are Japanese curtains, which are narrow stretched cloths of fabric from the cornice to the floor, and Roman models that neatly close window openings and, if necessary, are easily assembled in large folds.

Japanese wall-mounted curtains

Some types of window accessories for the kitchen room look too pathetic. These are heavy canvases, English and French varieties with scallops and ruffles, London bow assemblies.

The lightweight tulle curtain with a catch perfectly complements the decor, softening the strict straightforwardness of the kitchen set

Color and texture of textiles in creating style ↑

As noted above, the main thing you should focus on when choosing a model is the style of the room. A significant role in its creation is played by the choice of accessories made of fabric, which include fabrics for drapery window openings. Let's look at examples of how green curtains can favorably emphasize the interior of a kitchen, make it unique and harmonious, but exactly matching a specific project.

Classical curtains with tulle in a modern setting

Classic for all time ↑

The advantage of classic curtains is their versatility and the ability to look different. If you don’t push the halves to the sides in the morning and fix them with grabs, the window will look different - a little more fun and romantic. The presence of a lambrequin outlines the upper border of the window and visually reduces the height of the ceiling, so do not rush to decorate the curtain rods with a horizontal piece of fabric in low rooms.

Cozy dining room with pinstripe textile trim

Another positive point is the ability to use any material you like. This refers to the types of textiles recommended for use in areas with high humidity and sharp temperature fluctuations. Traditionally, light semitransparent fabrics - organza, tulle, muslin, veil - are chosen for sewing. They do not interfere with natural light, let in sunlight and create a cozy, homely atmosphere.

A pale green kisey decorates the balcony opening and does not prevent the door from opening

If the windows face south and the sunlight hits your eyes, denser draperies with a high content of natural fibers will do. They should not be heavy, as in a bedroom or living room, and should only partially block ultraviolet light. A smooth linen cloth, plain or with a simple floral ornament, is ideal. Its only drawback - creasing - in this case does not play a role.

Wide transverse stripes on dense canvas

By the way, finding flax in its pure form is quite difficult. To reduce stiffness and creasing, it is combined with synthetic fibers - nylon, viscose or lavsan. Sometimes a little cotton is added to make the texture softer, flowing. Cotton and silk fabrics are also good if they easily tolerate frequent washing.

"Rimka" - a successful solution for a modern interior

The benefits of modest minimalism ↑

Minimalism involves the simplest solutions, the absence of various kinds of piles and layers, understandable natural shades and functionality combined with all of the above. A good example is the direct plain products on the grommets, provided that the room has a sufficient area. They look dignified and elegant, easily move, and if necessary, they can be quickly removed from the cornice.

Smooth brilliant satin shade of fresh herbs

One of the successful solutions is a simple or combined Roman curtain. This is an actual solution for an ergonomic modern kitchen with built-in appliances and modular furniture. The canvas fixed above the window, when opened, does not block the walls adjacent to the opening, but is collected in large folds in the upper part. You can achieve an interesting effect by choosing the right pattern: a bright green assembly of one shade in a split second turns into a beautiful striped canvas or panel with animalistic ornaments.

Half curtain roman blind

Japanese curtains look neat and restrained. For the kitchen, you can use a shortened model - not to the floor, as is customary, to the windowsill or to the middle of the radiator, which is usually located under the window.

Lightness and tenderness of translucent material

In a spacious room, you can safely use heavier fabrics, but they also should not create complex designs. The classic hooked rectangles hanging to the cornice are collected in flat folds.

The luxury of brilliant Art Deco ↑

As you know, Art Deco is an exquisite style and does not like sloppiness, so 2-3 basic tones should be present in the interior. The traditional contrasting combination of white and black is often diluted with deep purple, bright pink or neutral gray, but green is also suitable. Do not get carried away with acidic shades, Art Deco “loves” noble colors: blue-green, dark olive, malachite.

Art Deco dictates its own rules: expensive flowing satin in the kitchen

Of course, you should choose from the most expensive fabrics: Chinese natural silk, Scottish wool, Belgian linen, satin, velor, velvet. A large area allows the use of the listed materials, besides they are often used for upholstery of furniture or wall panels. Window framing should be more reminiscent of the design of the stage in the Bolshoi Theater than the usual kitchen curtains.

For unusual arched windows - unusual curtains

Do not forget about the shine - it must be present in the canvas and in every accessory surrounding the window opening.Pendants with crystal pendants, golden edging, leather trim - everything should remind of wealth and prosperity. If you use a green color for sewing, it must be repeated in the upholstery of armchairs, a sofa cloak or serving textiles, but in no case should it prevail.

The immediate appeal of country ↑

Unlike art deco, where the green palette is used very limitedly, rustic styles have a choice of any shades. However, this does not apply to the types of fabric - you will have to refuse expensive materials, since textured brocade, heavy shiny satin, printed silk do not harmonize with wooden shelves and rude furniture.

Echoes of Provence in a modern interior

Combination of Provence and Mediterranean Style

The main qualities of curtains in country style are considered naturalness, lightness, straightforward. This does not mean that simple modest curtains are considered ideal (although they sometimes look pretty cute) - there are many interesting and original models. They can be combined, separate, decorated with bows, ruffles and frills, with ornaments and patterns. A material popular in Europe is a fabric in a small or large cell.

The simpler the interior, the less requirements for the design of the fabric. For curtains or kitchens in the Russian style, white curtains with an unobtrusive small pattern in the form of wildflowers are suitable. Country involves the use of natural materials and everything that brings a person closer to nature, so shades of green are always welcome, especially more delicate options - the color of young grass, peppermint or pistachio.

Modest white curtains with a pale green pattern

Creating coziness, beware of an overabundance of all kinds of jewelry and try to keep the style. If the blinds are decorated with openwork braid or lush ruffles, you do not need to pick them up with satin ribbons or fasten with unusual pins in the form of butterflies. Crocheted handmade lace edging is allowed.

"Grandmother" curtains with lush ruffles

It is difficult to arrange an interior in a city apartment that is fully consistent with a rustic one, because comfortable modern chairs or built-in appliances will contradict the design task. However, country style elements are used quite often - in the choice of ceiling design, furniture sets, flooring, kitchen accessories.

Kitchen-diner with country elements

With the help of green shades, plain or with a small print, you can emphasize the rustic orientation of the interior.

Light, warm, gentle, homely

Ethnic national color ↑

The calm green palette is equally loved by the inhabitants of the southern sea coasts, spoiled by subtropical plants, and northerners who see fresh grass only three months a year, so do not be surprised by the bright green accents in the interiors of all the peoples of the world. If you like the color of one of the countries, you can express your preferences when ordering or buying curtains. For example, in the "Chinese" cuisine, it is better to use silk with a traditional national pattern.

Roman curtains made of Chinese silk

Scandinavian style involves design in bright colors, this is due to the small amount of sunlight on the peninsula of the same name. Accordingly, when choosing green curtains, focus on light colors. Other options are possible if the canvas does not interfere with natural light.

Scandinavian style - strictly and functionally

African, Indian, Moroccan ornaments will please all lovers of colorful positive combinations. For example, in India it is customary to combine not only bright colors, but also various textures, for example, flax with nylon or silk with wool.

Bright Indian style: a variety of colors and textures

Mediterranean cuisine has a beautiful blue-green palette, Brazilians or Spaniards are also actively using these colors in the design of their home environment. Consequently, ethnic styles welcome the use of greenery decor, and there will be no problem choosing curtains.

  • malachite,
  • light green
  • emerald,
  • herbal,

  • Muslim and others

Each of these shades can have a different degree of intensity - from pale, barely distinguishable, to saturated, bright. To emphasize the beauty of the curtains, the main color is often combined with white.

The combination of olive with shades of white and woody palette

The combination with more pale or snow-white finishes is quite successful, as it does not contradict the rules of interior design and emphasizes the decor of the window. In addition, this combination makes it possible to use accent color for decorating other accessories, for example, napkins or pillows for chairs.

A beautiful combination of white and spruce

To achieve colorfulness, it is not necessary to use a bright red-orange gamut, the interiors in the natural palette, characteristic of coastal regions, look much more interesting.

Green - what is the shade?

Green has many shades and tones. From saturated and dark malachite, then delicate pistachio or light green. There is still a different approach to interior design, the choice of the “role” in green - the main, additional or accent ... All this allows you to get different interiors in mood, although each of them can be called "green".

Shades of green (note that the screen distorts real colors)

So that the kitchen in green tones meets your expectations and you are not tired of it, decide what atmosphere you want to create: calm, relaxing, invigorating, joyful, warming. The choice of shades depends on this. For a quiet environment, soft tones from the “cold” part of the palette are suitable. They can be used as basic ones - for walls, facades. For a warm, warming effect, you can choose one of the shades of the “warm” part. But here you need to look so that it is not much: this color may be a kitchen apron, some of the facades, accessories and additions to the kitchen interior in restrained tones - just to bring a touch of bright mood.

Several options combined with green colors

A list of shades of green is shown in the photo above. But remember that the photo and screen strongly distort the colors. To have an accurate idea, you need to look at the color "live". This can be done in stores selling paints in which there are tinting stations. They have a list of colors. There distortion is usually minimal.

The role of green in the interior of the kitchen

If you look at the interiors of the kitchen in green tones, you will notice that not only the shades differ, but also the amount of this color. And this is also the moment with which you need to decide. If you already had experience, and you were comfortable in greenery, you can immediately order furniture and look for a shade to decorate the walls. If you just want to "try", it is better to start with some details.

Kitchen in green tones: far from everything should be in this gamut

As the main

A kitchen in green is far from always a monochrome design. Green can be the primary color, and then there are many. It can be accent or optional. Then it is present only in some details. For example, if walls and furniture facades are painted in greens of different shades, this is the main color (several options in the photo).

With this approach, there are several important points. Firstly, in this case, choose soft, calm shades. Although the kitchen is a zone of vigorous activity, for many it is also used as a dining room, and in this case it is better to find something more calm.

Secondly, in such interiors complementary colors (floor, ceiling, countertop) are neutral, and, only accents (some accessories) can be bright (but compatible). Red, blue, in some cases yellow or orange, go well with greens. You shouldn’t forget about brown or black either. Some details of similar, bright, colors are needed in order to dilute green. Oddly enough, this is exactly how it works - bright details attract a significant part of attention.

Only the facade or part of it

Only a furniture facade or even only a part of it - lower or upper cabinets, or only part of the finish can be green. There are no restrictions on the choice of shade - if you want, you can at least lime or "toad in love." But these are the tones that quickly bother in large numbers. Optimal in this embodiment, pistachio, mint, green moss, green tea, apple. Furniture in dark green looks interesting: malachite, emerald, jade, blue-green. But the premises for such shades should be spacious and bright, and the rest of the interior should be bright and balanced.

Another option is to make green only part of the facade. Modern kitchen sets can be with facades of different colors: the upper and lower cabinets can vary in color and texture. Also, some of the boxes can be of a different color. So as an option - make part of the facades in green colors, and use neutral ones as the main ones - white. gray, beige and all their shades. This is an option for those who are unsure that the greens will not “strain”.

As optional or accent

There is another way to make sure you like the kitchen in green tones - to make only easily replaceable interior details such. These include walls for painting or wallpaper, a countertop, some options for a kitchen apron (plastic, glass, MDF).

Green walls in the kitchen - you can really feel how much you will like

For example, the green walls in the kitchen will test the expected shade of furniture. Repainting walls or re-sticking wallpapers is much faster and cheaper than ordering new facades.

As an option - a kitchen apron and countertop

Despite the fact that the facades in the photo above are white, you can’t call the interior boring - the bright countertop and apron attract attention. For a harmonious interior, it is worth adding a few details of the same shade in another part of the room - in the area of ​​the table.

Another option for using green as an additional (main - beige-brown)

Two different combined shades in the same interior is also a very interesting idea, which can be beaten in different ways. The ideal way is mosaic. It can combine a greater number of colors, but the most important thing is not to overdo it.

Apron, walls, countertop - two shades of green with mostly white

People living in wooden houses often suffer from monotony - the "wooden" color is everywhere and constantly tires too. A great way to make a bright note is to paint the work wall with green paint and add accessories of the same shade. They perfectly "dilute" the yellowness of wood.

For kitchen trimmed with lining

For those who are even wary of such volumes of greenery, one can suggest hanging curtains, a certain amount of kitchen utensils that remain in sight, a couple of accessories (watches, pictures, etc.). If the sensations are comfortable, it will be possible to expand the “captured territory”.

How to pick up green curtains (video)

The psychological comfort provided by the green color is the basis of a comfortable stay indoors. Careful preparation will help prevent common mistakes. The degree of illumination, the functional component, the predominant color of the furniture - all this must be taken into account in order not to be mistaken with the choice of the primary and secondary colors.

Competent color solutions

If, when working on a kitchen interior, a desire arose to use just the green tone of the curtains, important aspects must be taken into account. These include a common palette of shades that may be present in the room. Usually, thinking about which curtains will fit the green kitchen as harmoniously as possible, people choose the tone of the general color theme, although this is not the only solution.

The textile product does not have to match the color with the overall shade of the room. Green curtains can be used in the kitchen with a variety of colors. It can be orange, yellow, white and brown. These are the most used options for a harmonious combination with green color. You can experiment with variations of shades: for example, the overall interior of the kitchen is decorated in olive color, and using emerald curtains to make a bright accent.

Yellow-emerald curtains are ideal for a kitchen with green wallpaper. Many years ago, curtains were considered good tone, repeating the tone of the walls with precision. Modern designers advise either to place a bright emphasis on the curtains, or to use them as an embodiment of greenery, vegetation in the kitchen.

The right combination of shades

The design of curtains implies a reasonable and harmonious use of various combinations. Plain curtains will not look so elegant and aesthetically pleasing as curtains of several colors.

Blue-green curtains should be used only in a room with a sufficiently large area, as they will darken and reduce space. Moreover, such a combination is difficult to perceive in a small kitchen.

The yellow-green combination resembles the naturalness of nature. Use it in a bright and dynamic interior. These colors can visually expand the space and make it brighter. Green curtains with a pattern of daisies look very nice in the kitchen.

Orange color perfectly complements all shades of green. Orange-green curtains saturate the interior with bright colors and set to positive. Psychologists say that such a combination can relieve depression and increase appetite. How such combinations look in the interior, you can see in the photo.

How to choose wallpaper for the kitchen with green curtains

What wallpaper to choose for a kitchen in which there are green curtains is not an easy question.It is necessary to determine in what colors the design of the room will be. Modern wallpapers are presented in a wide range, they can be matched to any room.

Today, the presence of an ecological note is considered fashionable in design. Wallpaper in beige, brown and milk shades look good in combination with curtains of apple or mint color. You can play on naturalness, using green curtains in the kitchen as a symbol of vegetation, and pick up the wallpaper with a warm floral summer pattern.

Green curtains will look great in the interior of the kitchen with wallpaper in cold tones: white, blue and turquoise. If the room is spacious, then it is quite possible to use a pompous design using gold-colored wallpaper or with a gold pattern. Gold looks original and rich in combination with greenery. With this option, it is better to use not plain, but yellow-green curtains for the kitchen to get a harmonious combination of colors.

In the photo you can see what other wallpaper options can be used in the interior with green curtains.

Country

How to choose?

High-quality and beautiful curtains - the comfort of your home. Choosing the right curtains will help you with the advice and recommendations of specialists.

  • Consider the area of ​​the room. If the footage is small, do not buy curtains made of heavy fabric with many drapery folds - the space will look even smaller. Lighter and lighter curtains of light green color will help to shade the window. Leave large curtains and lavishly packed curtains of dark colors for more spacious places.
  • Location. Think in advance about whether the place where the curtains will hang is safe. Flammable fabrics cannot be hung near the stove, and away from sources of fire you can place decor from any material you like.
  • Quality and price. For the kitchen, curtains are preferred, which are the least dirty and do not require special care. Too expensive materials for the kitchen surroundings are disadvantageous.
  • Style.

When choosing a model, focus on the overall interior design, the color of the furniture and walls - your window should match them.

  • Roller blinds, compact, practical, comfortable even in a small kitchen.
  • Direct classic look great everywhere, especially in combination with various shades of green.
  • Curtains to the middle of the window always look "at home." Cute curtains with a lambrequin “cat's house” or “grandmother's” are the most advantageous for small kitchens with unusual shapes or small windows.
  • Arched or semicircular models are beautiful and practical.

Much less dirty and less likely to wear out.

Most popular combinations

Harmonious color combinations in the interior is a complex topic. There are different ways to select the appropriate shades - using the color wheel, but the simplest solution is to use ready-made tables (in the photo below) or choose exactly the shades like in one of the photos. A specific design can be repeated only if you really like it, but it is advisable to practically “copy” the shades.

Color tables of traditional style. The vertical bar is the primary color.

Working with color tables is easy. Choose a shade that will be your main one. It is usually presented as larger than all other stripes on the right or left.

  • The main one is sometimes two colors that fill a lot of space. If we talk about the kitchen, it’s the walls and the kitchen. There can be three options: only walls, only furniture, and walls + furniture.
  • Additional. Another one or two shades, of which a sufficient amount. In the kitchen it is a floor, curtains, a dining table, chairs, walls, a kitchen apron, etc.
  • Accent. These are the colors of the accessories. Chairs sometimes come here, but mostly these are small details - pictures, watches, cups / plates, etc.

But looking for tables by key (primary) color is long and problematic. You can do differently. Find any table that has the shade you like. We consider it the main one, and select the rest from the line. The colors here are 100% compatible, so everything will be harmonious.
