Curtains have long ceased to be a "constant" value. Artists and designers offer new options for decorating window openings. And we are talking not only about unusual curtain designs, but also about qualitatively new fabrics, a kind of know-how of the textile industry.

Interior design with ombre effect, what is it, description
Ombre fabric (or degrade) is characterized by a gradual transition of color on one piece of fabric. From French, "ombre" is translated as "shaded". By the way, the same name is given to the hair coloring technique, when a lock of hair changes its color along its length. The technology of dyeing fabric is more often applied to curtain fabrics, such as organza, chiffon, silk, and only in rare cases to dense materials.
Important! The fabric can be dyed in one color with a transition from a more washed-out to a brighter shade, or the technology of coloring in different colors is used.
Advantages of such curtains.
- They make the window opening original.
- Due to the variety of color solutions, they fit harmoniously into any interior.
- The most “grey” setting begins to play with bright colors thanks to unusual curtains.
Please note: gradient curtains are an ideal option for visually increasing the height of a room. To achieve this effect, light shades of curtains are placed at the top, and dark shades are closer to the floor.

Ombre curtains
It is worth noting that even the simplest curtain model looks creative thanks to the ombre effect.
Fabric manufacturers offer a huge selection of ombre variations: from an almost imperceptible transition from one color to another, to obvious careless strokes on the border of the transition. All this allows you to harmoniously combine ombre not only with plain fabrics, but also with pronounced floral prints.
In addition, there is not only vertical "flow" of color, but also horizontal. And this, in turn, increases the number of possible combinations of curtains and drapes.
The most common option: curtains with an ombre effect from light (at the ceiling) to dark (closer to the floor). In this case, a light fragment of almost white color smoothly flows into beige shades, complementing the color palette of the finish.

A very popular option: gradient curtains with horizontal color alternation and a repeat of a bright fragment.
To ensure that the ombre effect looks appropriate, follow these simple rules.
- Combine gradient curtains with lightweight, patternless tulle.
- Don't overdo it with additional accessories. Numerous holders, flashy fittings and decorative cords are too much. Such curtains are a decoration in themselves.
- The simpler the ombre curtain model, the more stylish they look.
Curtains with color transitions can have different designs. Here are just a few options.
A model for lovers of multi-layering. If you like lambrequins and everything connected with them, ombre curtains do not call for giving them up. Just choose the right color scheme and enjoy the creative model.
Small bows on loops also add elegance.
And this option is ideal for those who cannot imagine window decoration without grabs and tassels. Decorative elements have every right to exist, only if they do not “drag” all the attention to themselves.
To ensure that the window is decorated not only stylishly but also as practically as possible, combine gradient curtains with roller blinds or blinds.
An orange palette on a north-facing window will add light and coziness. And if the curtain color is duplicated in decorative elements, such as pillows, paintings or vases, then the room will feel warm.
"Cold" shades are ideal for the bedroom. They will ensure sound and calm sleep. Turquoise is a great choice. For complete harmony of the interior, add turquoise "notes". A pillow of the same shade or a picture will do as an option.
Tulle gradient with color transition from dark to light
Gradient curtain fabrics are a real work of art. The soft "flow" of color creates an amazing atmosphere in any room, be it a spacious living room or a small bedroom. Such curtains are suitable for a modern style, high-tech, minimalism. Although, of course, everything depends on the brightness and variety of colors of the curtains.
Gradient tulle does not need to be supplemented with curtains. It looks quite self-sufficient and creates a picture of completeness. Therefore, if there is no need to “protect” from prying eyes, decorate the window opening only with tulle.
An interesting nuance: when the sun's rays hit the canvas, it changes color slightly and the room becomes cozier.
An unusual solution: light curtains and tulle in a gradient of delicate shades. The color scheme complements each other and harmonizes with the wall decoration.

Rules for decorating a room interior using the ombre effect
The ombre effect is not limited to curtain fabrics or tulle. It is an incredibly popular technique that designers around the world actively exploit.
For example, the color of the walls. Ombre can be created in almost any room, but it “takes root” best in rooms with high ceilings. In this case, the effect can be created both vertically and horizontally. If your home does not have royal ceilings, then create a horizontal ombre effect, and place the light part closer to the ceiling.
By the way, you can do this yourself: apply paint to the lower part of the wall (with a roller or brush), then spray the upper part and use a large sponge to blend the paint.
The result will surely please you.
There may be an “opposite” option – a dark color on top, and almost white closer to the floor.
The bathroom is another place where you can implement this interesting effect. It is worth noting that the gradient tiles began to be implemented much earlier.
Another opportunity to implement a fashionable trend is to buy an ombre carpet. Believe me, the room will seem larger. Just choose a small carpet, and if you lay a huge gradient carpet, the effect of increasing the space will be lost.
And even individual small components of the interior with a gradient effect can stylize the room. The main thing is not to overdo it, because an excess of such elements looks ridiculous.
The gradient effect wall decoration is complemented by a bedspread and pillows with the same effect and in an almost identical color scheme. The lamp stand is plain, but in harmony with the overall decoration.
Furniture items such as cabinets, nightstands and shelves with "washed out" colors are always popular. Such interior items create a wonderful mood, fill the house with positivity and the desire to create.
You can create such a work of art with a smooth color transition yourself. The shading technique is simple and interesting, and the canvas will become a bright accent in the interior solution.
The most beautiful ombre curtains in the interior
A bold solution for decorating large window openings, a combination of bright colors and an ombre effect makes the living room dynamic. In this case, it is necessary to “duplicate” the color in the interior elements: upholstered furniture, carpets.
An interesting use of the ombre technique. There is no smooth transition on the canvas, but there are clearly defined lines. The bright color of the curtains is repeated on the decorative pillow.
The vertical “flow” of delicate shades of pink and blue visually enlarges the room and fills it with coziness and warmth.
If you are tired of the ordinary and you really want to “color” your life, curtains with an ombre effect are the right choice.
