Embroidered tulle is a luxurious design element that will transform any room. But embroidered fabric is not only distinguished by its noble beauty. It also has a practical function - it reliably blocks the view from the street. Today, embroidered Turkish tulle is considered the highest quality and most beautiful. Originally oriental volumetric satin stitch patterns are in great demand.

Variety of choice

The first thing a buyer pays attention to when choosing window textiles with embroidery is the design. In this case, the main role is played by the drawing.

Embroidery on tulle is done with threads in the same tone as the fabric or with contrasting ones; smooth or raised texture is possible.

The subject matter may vary:

  • Nature. Flowers, birds, butterflies, grass, flowering branches – all these and other motifs will suit those who love the beauty of nature.
  • Geometry. Those who prefer a minimalist style will appreciate strict motifs – stripes and chaotic lines, as well as triangles, squares and other geometric shapes.
  • Rococo and Baroque. Fans of such royal styles as Rococo and Baroque will definitely like the pompous monograms and curls in the spirit of bourgeois France of the 18th century. Embroidered gold crowns and velvet curtains of deep shades will be appropriate here.
  • Oriental patterns. Turkish flavor is reflected in models that feature elegant oriental patterns. This option does not require curtains. If you add additional elements to them in the form of curtains or lambrequins, the interior will look overloaded.

Today, another popular option for window decoration is embroidery with rhinestones. The shimmering design looks elegant and gives the room a special, sophisticated charm.

As for the material, different fabrics can be used as a basis for the production of translucent curtains:

  • Organza. Perfectly protects from sun rays.
  • Veil. Weightless, very soft material, but quite dense.
  • Batiste. Thin, translucent, made from linen or cotton.
  • Net. It looks like fishing nets, hence the name.
  • Tulle. It is a light mesh fabric. It is made of polyester thread. It can be matte or glossy.
  • Chiffon. Very lightweight, translucent. Originally made from cotton or silk. Now there are synthetic analogues.

If we talk about the composition, then natural materials and synthetics are used:

  • Cotton.
  • Silk.
  • Flax.
  • Polyamide.
  • Viscose.
  • Elastin.
  • Polyester.

In some cases, a combination of different materials is possible. For example, synthetic threads are often added to linen weave so that the fabric does not shrink after washing, is easier to iron, and lasts longer.

  4. Wide price range. Prices for such home textiles also play a significant role. Everyone will be able to choose a suitable option according to their income. The range includes both expensive and inexpensive, budget models.

The main advantages of micro-mesh tulle are simplicity, conciseness, practicality and multifunctionality.

Advantages:

  • The ability to pass air. Thanks to this, the "mesh" dries quickly after washing.
  • Durability. The fabric will last a long time. It holds its shape well and is tear-resistant. It can withstand a large number of washes.
  • Light weight. The texture of the fabric is practically weightless. Therefore, you can safely attach it even to the thinnest curtain rod.
  • Ease of processing. The fabric is very obedient in sewing. The edges are easily sealed with a machine stitch. The material is perfectly cut, can be glued. At the same time, the mesh does not lose its beauty.

But there is also a downside - the micro mesh quickly collects dust. Therefore, it requires more careful care, namely, frequent washing. But this disadvantage is smoothed out by the fact that the material is very light in weight. Therefore, washing will not cause the inconvenience associated with wringing and drying curtains.

Embroidered micro mesh is used in different interior styles:

  • Classic. Volumetric monograms on curtains are a great addition to the classic design. In this case, champagne, beige or snow-white colors are suitable. Sewing with gold or silver threads is allowed.
  • Renaissance and Baroque. Everyone knows that these styles are distinguished by luxury and richness of interior decoration of rooms. But at the same time it is important to preserve lightness in the interior. Weightless organza curtains with embroidered or printed monograms will help with this.
  • Eclecticism. A complex and ambiguous "mix" of several styles at once: classic, renaissance and baroque. It allows the presence of any elements of these three types of design. Therefore, a micro-grid embroidered with patterns will fit perfectly into such an interior.
