What are Roman curtains

Roman curtains, often referred to as roller blinds, were first used by people several millennia ago in the Roman Empire (hence their modern name).

Surprisingly, despite the huge period of time from the moment the product was invented to the present day, the design of the curtains almost did not change and remained the same. This is explained by the fact that in the manufacture of such a model uses a very simple cut and regulating mechanism.

Roman curtains have strict straight lines and a clear shape, they are elegant and concise.

The changes affected only the materials used - fabrics and additional decorative elements.

Currently, two varieties of Roman curtains are popular: cascading  and classic. Both models have their own characteristics and advantages.

The material from which Roman curtains are made

For sewing Roman curtains, a variety of fabrics are used, both natural and synthetic. Their choice, first of all, depends on the style of the room in which the curtains will be installed.

If the room is located on the south side, the curtain material should be sufficiently dense, then they will provide reliable protection from sunlight.

If the room lacks natural light, you should choose curtains made of fabric with the least possible protection from sunlight - this material consists of polyester with the addition of natural viscose fiber or cotton.

The choice of color Roman curtains for the kitchen

Correctly selected color of Roman curtains will help create a warm atmosphere in the kitchen, make it more comfortable and attractive.

When arranging the kitchen in modern styles, it is worth using synthetic curtains with strict geometric patterns.

How to combine Roman and ordinary curtains in the interior of the kitchen

Roman curtains look stylish and elegant, but still somewhat strict. Sometimes you want to soften this severity with soft folds of light textile, and then ordinary traditional curtains come to the rescue.
They are perfectly combined with rolled curtains and supplement them.

However, if the window is too small, you should not combine both options. This solution will not work for kitchens whose interior is made in such styles as minimalism or hi-tech.

If the interior of the room is classical, then Roman curtains can be combined with traditional curtains.

They can be made in one color scheme, or be contrasted (the first option looks more elegant and harmonious). Tulle in this case is not required, it is not necessary to install lambrequins, so as not to overload the kitchen with unnecessary details.

If the window is narrow and tall, you can place the curtain on only one side of it, bandaging the tape in the middle.

The large window should be decorated with two traditional curtains. It is desirable that their fabric is lighter and less dense than the Roman curtains with which they are combined.

The choice of Roman curtains in accordance with the style of the interior

For kitchens whose interior is made in styles such as Provence, country, rustic, Mediterranean, shabby chic, you should choose Roman curtains from light natural materials of light shades - lavender, cream, blue, light yellow, coffee with milk, pistachio, pink, white.

Checkered prints or floral ornaments will look great in such interiors.

For a kitchen in a modern style, it is recommended to choose plain Roman curtains from synthetic materials in saturated colors - blue, red, purple, orange, brown, black. They should be simple and concise, without decorative elements.

What Roman curtains to choose for the kitchen-living room

Such designs will not only become an indispensable attribute of your kitchen, but also fill it with unique coziness and warmth, help create a comfortable atmosphere in the room.

It is believed that Roman curtains were invented in ancient Rome. Their variety can be called rolled. Interestingly, the cut and the mechanism of the curtains is so perfect that more than 2000 years have passed since their inception, and they have not changed their appearance in any way. The changes affected only the fabric, added additional decor.

The appearance of curtains of this design was due to the heyday of the Roman Empire. In those days, the owners of houses whose windows looked onto the streets suffered from a huge amount of dust raised by horse-drawn carriages. There were no glasses on the windows, so there was no way to protect your home from such an unpleasant phenomenon. The heat was also inconvenient.

Resourceful Romans began to hang their windows with large pieces of cloth dipped in water. A damp cloth at the same time prevented the penetration of dust and kept cool indoors.

Over time, the curtains became more beautiful, and their design improved. The women of Rome loved to decorate their homes with frescoes, mosaics. Of course, curtains have become an integral part of the decor. The fabric used was striking in colors and print. Of course, the richest people of Rome had the most beautiful and expensive curtains.

Roman curtains in the kitchen are the embodiment of elegance with all their brevity and minimalism. They look neat, easy to care for, which is important for the kitchen.

Construction mechanism

Essential elements:

• Cornice. Often made of plastic.
• Cloth made of fabric, attached to the cornice with a special “Velcro tape”.
• The lifting mechanism collecting fabric in horizontal folds. It can be rotary-chain (ideal for heavy fabrics), rope-lifting, have electronic control.
• A special chain that drives the entire structure.
• Weighting agent in the form of a strap. It is located at the bottom of the curtains.

You can fix the curtains on the entire window opening or on each leaf separately, if the window is large.

Modern design 2017 - new items in the interior

R home curtains can be compared with blinds. However, textiles look more comfortable.

The practicality of this type of curtains makes them indispensable for the kitchen. You can easily set the desired length, providing the kitchen with the necessary level of lighting. Plus, this functionality is important if you have a fluffy kitten living at home, who during his games likes to climb higher and make unpleasant puffs on the fabric. Raising the curtain to the desired level, you will block the access of the fluffy prankster to the curtain.

Modern Roman curtains are divided into three types:

• Cascading.  These are very beautiful curtains that, even when fully dissolved, form folds and draperies. They will perfectly fit into the interior of the living room or bedroom.

• Classic. They have a simple design. In the dissolved form, they are a smooth cloth that covers the entire window opening. Folds form when assembled. Ideal for children's room and kitchen.

• Frameless. Their feature is the absence of hinges. They can be considered the simplest variety of Roman curtains that can be done independently.

To choose the right curtains for the kitchen, you should be guided by simple rules:

• Whether it’s ready-made curtains or you decide to purchase fabric and sew them yourself, you need to measure the window opening. At the same time, if the curtain is located in the opening itself, then the length of the fabric should be reduced by 2-4 cm, and the width by 2 cm. If the curtain is located in front of the window opening, then in this case it is necessary to select the fabric so that its width exceeded the opening by at least 10-20 cm.

• When choosing a fabric, opt for one that consists of both synthetic and natural fibers. Such curtains will be easy to care for, and they will not get so dirty as curtains made from natural fabrics.

Fabrics based on synthetic fibers are also acceptable for the kitchen. They are easily erased and maintain color saturation for a long time.

• Roman curtains must certainly match the design of the kitchen and the color scheme of its interior. Light curtains made of delicate fabrics are suitable for small kitchens. Pastel shades visually make the room bigger. If a print is applied to the fabric, then it should be slightly noticeable so as not to burden the design.

If the kitchen windows face the south side, thick curtains will help to get rid of the summer heat.

Designers offer interesting novelties that will help turn the kitchen into a cozy place to gather a family for a cup of tea.

Combination with curtains, lambrequin

Roman curtains go well with curtains. A set of monophonic curtains and Roman curtains with a light pattern in bright yellow colors will cheer you up.

Combining different textures of fabrics, you can achieve a stunning effect. A translucent Roman curtain, a curtain made of tulle or organza, a dense curtain, a lambrequin - all this looks harmonious, despite the large number of components. The tulle is seized with a fabric holder to form light folds so that the entire structure does not look flat.

Lambrequin will perfectly complement a large window. An interesting solution would be to use several Roman curtains with floral prints. In order for the lambrequin to be noticeable and not to turn the window decoration into one “flower” mass, its longer fabric strip should be monophonic. This technique favorably emphasizes the beautiful folds of the pelmet and relieves the print.

Lambrequin does not have to be bulky and pretentious. On the kitchen window of a small size, the dense plain fabric of Roman curtains and the light, pleated, organza with a pattern of leaves "get along" perfectly.

Lambrequin can add lightness and chic if it is made of a transparent material.

Textured fabrics

The fabrics having a relief, despite laconicism, look fashionable and stylish.

Asymmetry

The reception of asymmetry adds a touch of sophistication. As a rule, a lambrequin or a light organza is used for this. An additional canvas is placed on top of the Roman curtains, shifted to one side and grabbed with decorative cords to form folds. Asymmetric pelmet with an abundance of folds looks luxurious, but it is not suitable for a small kitchen.

Striped print

The peculiarity of the striped fabric is that it not only embodies interesting design decisions into reality, but also visually adjusts the size of the room. Roman curtains with horizontal stripes will make the window wider. Accordingly, the vertical strip will “stretch” the window vertically.

A curtain in a two-color strip looks concise and strict. If you want to make the kitchen bright, then choose a fabric from several colored stripes.

Bottom decor

The peculiarity of Roman curtains is their simplicity, but the additional decor to them is quite applicable. Fluffy pompons, fringe and even rhinestones look very cute. The bottom of a transparent curtain can be decorated with small tassels. The most important rule of this decor is the small size of the elements that are sewn onto the edge of the curtain.

Roman curtains allow you to create a cozy kitchen interior in various styles.

In order to design a kitchen window in the Provence style, use a cotton or mixed fabric. Belts acting as a lifting mechanism look very organic.

Advocates of modern design can afford hi-tech curtains. It should be remembered that the interior of such a kitchen should be restrained, and the curtains should not have a pronounced texture. As an option - a translucent fabric that has a frame of a denser fabric.

Country style is the embodiment of comfort in the kitchen. To create it, Roman curtains with floral print, checkered, striped.

How to do it yourself

To make a Roman curtain, you will need items that you can easily buy in hardware stores and needlework boutiques:

• Fabrics purchased at the store: basic and lining (if necessary);
• Velcro tape, the length of which corresponds to the width of the Roman curtains;
• Rods / slats with a diameter of 0.5 cm from wood or plastic. Compared to the width of the curtains, they are 3 cm shorter than it. A total of 7-8 such rods will be required;
• Rings made of plastic, the diameter of which is 1 cm. They are needed for threading the cords in them, ensuring the lifting of the canvas;

• Nylon cords - 3 cuts. To calculate the length of each, you need to sum the double length of the curtain and its width;
• Plank, weighting the product;
• Finishing border;
• A bar made of wood (5 cm x 2.5 cm), performing the function of a cornice. Its length corresponds to the width of the curtain;
• Additional auxiliary material (hooks, screws, nails);
• Stapler.

Initially, it is necessary to measure the window opening and add to allowances: the side parts of 5 cm, 10 cm in the upper and lower parts. The fabric may “sit down” after washing. therefore before starting cutting, it should be wetted in warm water, dried and ironed.  Next, using the table, we determine the number of folds of the future curtains. We mark them, as well as the location of the rings, dotted on the wrong side of the fabric.

Fold and hem side edges and hem twice.

7. Attach the curtain to the beam (Velcro will help). Attach the mounting part of the cord to the window frame. Next, the cord must be wrapped around the frame in order for the curtain to be fixed. Pass the cord through the ring and tie a knot on its lower part.
8. Now the cord needs to be passed through all the rings to the very top of the curtain. Do the same with all rings until all the cords are on one side of the curtain (see diagram below). Now we have folds: they need to be fixed (ribbons will help).
9. Next, attach the wooden beam to the window frame. The curtain holding straps can be removed. After that, you should tie the cords into a knot. Now pass the cords through the handle that lifts the curtains and measure 46 cm from the first knot. After that, you need to tie another knot and trim the ends.
10. Fix the part that secures the cord to the window frame and wrap the cord around it to secure the curtain.
