Interior design with white tulle: features of combination with walls, wallpaper, furniture
Designers agree that white is the strongest color and it looks quite self-sufficient. This means that you need to choose a "company" for it carefully. In addition, the texture of the white tulle is important.
Pure white is a cold color, which means the best complement to it is curtains of a warm shade. At the same time, both the curtain and the tulle can be plain, without a pattern. If preference is given to fabric with a pattern, embroidery or ornament, then a simple rule is relevant: the pattern should be either on the tulle or on the curtain.
Complex designs with lambrequins, "ties" and additional decor are recommended to be complemented with the most laconic tulle without folds and ruffles.

Features of window decoration with tulle with embroidery + photo
Embroidery decorates any item, be it a wardrobe item, a decorative pillow or a curtain. On curtains, such decor looks especially elegant and stylish. The main thing is to find a harmonious combination of curtains and tulle.
Usually designers are guided by the following rule: if the tulle is embroidered, then the curtain is plain, but if the curtain is decorated with an ornament, then the light fabric should be as laconic as possible. But modern fashion trends allow some deviation from this rule. It is important that everything is in moderation.
In this case, both the lightweight fabric and the curtain have a pattern, however, with the laconic design of the walls, it does not look provocative.
An unusual solution: tulle with embroidery is placed on top of plain tulle. The non-standard design gives the interior a special chic.
Thanks to the voluminous and bright embroidery, the fabric can be used as an independent interior element, without curtains or blinds.
The fact remains that despite its long history of existence, tulle has not lost its relevance and is still in demand. And thanks to new technologies, it has become a more interesting and functional element of window decoration.
