History of origin and application
The history of tulle goes back to the distant past, it was first created by textile craftsmen from a small town in southern France in the 15th century. The first tulle was a light and translucent fabric in the form of a fine mesh with an intricate interweaving of threads.
In fact, it differed little from many modern samples, but its purpose was completely different. This airy material was favored by nobles, various elements for decorating clothes were made from it, most often veils. But tulle began to be used in the interiors of bedrooms and boudoirs only in the late 18th – early 19th centuries.
Additional information: The tulle was named after the town where it was made. It is a modern French town with a population of only 15,500 residents, located in the historical region of Limousin, where the finest tulle is still made.
Existing varieties of tulle
Although the varieties of this fabric are not very numerous, their various options are limited only by the imagination of the manufacturer. This is not only all sorts of colors, density, transparency and structure, but also additional decorations of the base:
- aesthetically attractive designs on textiles;
- the finest embroidery, using any motifs;
- an intricate or uniform weaving pattern of the fabric itself;
- trimmed with lace or ruffles, complemented by elegant lacing.
Due to such a variety of choice, tulle in the bedroom is so interesting for design ideas. It is not just a curtain for windows, but an object of their decoration and adornment.
Important! Despite the fact that the products are selected individually, it is important that the tulle contrasts with the overall interior of the room. It is worth choosing not the most expensive and beautiful option, but one that creates harmony, that does not stand out, but complements.
Tulle mesh
This is one of the most common and popular varieties. Its distinctive feature is the multifunctionality of products of this kind, used not only for decorating windows, although they are intended for this. In addition, the tulle mesh is simple and practical, which is important, is far from the cheapest.
Benefits for the bedroom.
- The choice will not be too painful, the tulle mesh on the bedroom window always fades into the background, the curtain plays the leading role. And therefore the only thing that is important is that they are coordinated and match each other, in most cases, taking into account their color.
- Among the main advantages, its structure is noted, allowing air and sufficient light. Due to this, during the daytime the bedroom remains well lit and at the same time ventilated, creating a cozy and comfortable environment protected from prying eyes.
- The lightness of the tulle mesh allows you to hang it on a curtain rod, even if it is located directly above your head. The insignificant weight of the material is not able to tear the entire structure off the wall, and you can not be afraid that it will fall right on the bed and injure the people sleeping on it.
There are several types presented: embroidered, French, synthetic and Turkish net. The photo below in the bedroom interior illustrates well how such a tulle net looks like.
Tulle of several colors
Using several colors of tulle to decorate a bedroom window is a kind of design novelty or a new trend. But this approach is not used often, many consider such diversity tasteless and unoriginal. Here are the main reasons for this.
- In most cases, tulle of several colors, especially if their tone changes dramatically, is applicable for decorating windows in living rooms. In bedrooms, more than two colors are not welcome, maximum three, if white is used.
- The idea of using multi-colored tulle includes a variety of colors, without a smooth transition and does not echo the overall concept of the interior. This is necessary so that it comes to the foreground, which can look defiant and vulgar.
- Too much color does not contribute to the creation of a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Bright colors in the bedroom violate the design and its basic principles, dark and light tones are acceptable, or their skillful combination.
There are quite a lot of options for such design, mostly individual. But even so, it is extremely difficult to choose the right and correct solution.
Double tulle
The convenience of double tulle is that there is no clear model or specific rules for its use in the bedroom. Thus, there is a huge selection of design solutions, you can fantasize to your heart's content. The main idea of their use is to create interesting images.
- This is the best option for using various types of drapery in the design, emphasizing the refined style of the room. But not only individualism and good taste are important, creating drapery is a whole art.
- A good solution would be to combine double tulle with Roman blinds. In this case, there is a huge choice of combination solutions, and the result does not depend on what is emphasized, tulle or curtains.
- You can use short and long curtains at the same time, partially or completely covering the window sill. This option is not devoid of aesthetics and fits perfectly into virtually any interior design solution.
Unlike window treatments with several colors of tulle, this option is less complicated. The best way to see how double short tulle for a room can look is in the photo below.
Thick tulle
This type is impractical, it is relevant only for people who prefer constant semi-darkness reigning in the bedroom. Otherwise, such curtains will need to be pulled back, which contradicts their direct purpose.
Advantages and disadvantages.
- In most cases, thick tulle is relevant for windows facing east or south. That is, their main purpose is to protect against direct sunlight in the morning and throughout the day.
- Dense material not only transmits light poorly, but also air, even through an open window its circulation will be insufficient for air ventilation. At the same time, it collects dust well.
- In case of using such an option, it is difficult to choose the optimal solution. The correctness of the choice depends on many accompanying factors - the general design of the interior, the combination of colors, the size of the windows.
The choice of variety can be attributed to a forced decision, and to make individual use viable, you will have to try. Thick tulle in the bedroom in the photo illustrates how limited this option is.
How to choose tulle for the bedroom
Before settling on the final version of tulle for the bedroom, it is worth carefully reviewing the entire catalog and examining all the offers in more detail. Do not be guided only by personal preferences based on the feeling of the importance of the choice.
The size is needed taking into account the width and height of the window + at least 30% reserve, but the more, the better. The extra size will be used to create drapery, for example, because the tulle should not hang like a sheet on a clothesline.
Please note! Most tulle is made of synthetic materials, so do not immediately dismiss this option as unsuitable.
How to beautifully hang tulle in the bedroom

Thanks to their combination, a unique composition is created that immediately attracts attention. It will not be superfluous to use cords and other decorations.
