The hall is rightfully considered the central room in the house. It is here that guests are received and serious issues are discussed. The atmosphere in the hall is largely determined by the interior, and the "highlight" of any interior is a beautifully decorated window.

Interior design in the hall
When planning the future design of the hall, it is worth considering that it should be a spacious room, without unnecessary furniture and decor. It should be cozy and free (and this is regardless of the area of the hall).
First, a list of items that will definitely be in this room is made. These include:
- A corner sofa or a soft corner consisting of two small sofas;
- Table;
- Sliding wardrobe or wall unit.
The presence of decorative elements should also be thought out in advance. If it is a large vase or a figurine, it should not hinder movement around the room. Its task is to complement the overall design concept.
Furniture items should be as functional and comfortable as possible.
Proper lighting of the room will highlight the strong points of the interior and make minor mistakes unnoticeable. It is better if the lighting system of the hall is adjustable. Do not limit yourself to one chandelier on the ceiling, think about placing additional lamps on the walls.
Please note! If you place the lamps on the walls and direct the light flow onto the glossy ceiling, the room will seem larger.
A small carpet with a long pile or an interesting pattern will complement the interior. A fireplace (or its dummy) and a large window will look appropriate. A large aquarium will become the center of everyone's attention, but this interior element requires professional design and serious care. Therefore, such decor is, as they say, an amateur's affair.
The finishing touches in creating a stylish interior will be decorative elements: paintings, unusual flower stands, lamps, high-quality hand-made products.
And light transparent curtains will visually expand the room (which is especially important for standard apartments) and make it brighter.
What design of curtains to choose for the hall
In a modern style
Modern style curtains are distinguished by their simple design, calm color schemes, minimalism in details, and the absence of frills and bows. They are usually attached to the curtain rod using eyelets or textile loops. Modern style welcomes the use of natural materials, so the blinds that many people love can be made of wood or bamboo plates.
Curtains emphasize the interior design, and do not argue with it. Therefore, it is important that the general interior line is maintained.
So, for the minimalist direction, Roman or roller blinds are chosen. At first glance, they seem to be invisible, but they perform their role perfectly and are able to provide different degrees of illumination of the hall.
Window decoration in a modern style does not tolerate lambrequins, déjabos or ties. A special style and elegance is achieved by a competent combination of color solutions and smooth lines of volumetric drapery. In the photo, modern two-color curtains in a minimalist interior.
Even if tulle and curtains without a pattern are used, the window opening does not look boring and dull. On the contrary, such a choice looks elite. Especially if the color of the furniture and other interior items harmonize well with each other.
An unconventional design solution: the window is framed only by textured curtain fabric, attached to the cornice with eyelets. The color scheme is complemented by wall decoration and paintings.
In the classic style
Classics are distinguished by expensive curtain fabric. And it is not about the price, the curtains should look luxurious and elegant. Therefore, a golden sheen on velvet, satin or brocade is welcome, as well as numerous decorative elements such as beads, braid, fringe and tassels.
And, of course, what classics are without a lambrequin or dejabo. The design may vary, but the presence of these details is welcome. The correct combination of contrasting colors (in the photo) and the addition of light tulle enhance the impression of the interior.
Important! Although the classics allow the use of different colors, there should not be more than two or three.
The curtain fabric does not necessarily have to be monochromatic. It can be a pattern or ornament in one color scheme. In the photo is a classic curtain design for the hall.
When choosing curtains for a hall, the area of the room is taken into account. Volumetric structures with additional elements are appropriate only in large halls with high ceilings. The photo shows a very interesting model. A small additional cornice was used to create the structure.
And in this case, the restrained color scheme of the curtains is beautifully complemented by massive tassels and an interesting arrangement of the canvases.
In a classic interior, long curtains are most often used. Sometimes they lie on the floor in beautiful folds, and sometimes they barely touch the floor.
Curtains with photo printing are a new item that many people have already fallen in love with. Therefore, if a typical apartment does not allow you to place columns, exquisite flower stands and lamps in the hall, you can complement the interior with a curtain with photo printing. And enjoy the aura of a medieval castle.
Design of curtains and blinds for the hall: recommendations for selection
The following criteria will help you choose the right combination of curtains and drapes for the hall:
- Interior style;
- The color of the curtains, the chosen design of the curtains;
- Practicality of the room: curtains for beauty or for functionality;
- The size of the window, its shape.
If the room is small with regular ceilings, then the curtains should be of a simple design without unnecessary frills. The ideal coloring is a vertical pattern. The length is exactly to the floor.
A narrow room will visually look more spacious if the curtain is approximately twice the size of the window and is light in color.
Lace curtains are very popular. In combination with airy tulle, they fill the room with a romantic atmosphere, and contrasting colors only enhance the impression.
If the curtains are to be used independently, then you can choose an analogue of Japanese curtains – a curtain panel.
The classic combination of curtains and drapes is as follows: textured tulle is complemented by light curtains, and thick curtains are best combined with weightless tulle. And the same rule applies to the pattern: if the tulle has patterns or an ornament, it is better to choose a single-color curtain and vice versa.
In case a single-color curtain seems boring, you can use a decorative element – a curtain holder. Different in size and shape, they complement and decorate the design of the curtains.
The most interesting examples of curtains for the hall. Photo
If the hall is located in the attic, this does not mean that it cannot be made luxurious. The photo shows an interesting design solution. The different ceiling heights only enhanced the effect of a medieval castle. And the competent placement of lamps and the supply of light visually make the room larger.
If you look closely, the composition is made very simply, but how effective! Forged cornices and the same holders. The unusual finishing of the corner on one side separates the window openings, and on the other side increases the room.
Double-layer curtains do not lose their relevance. Supplemented with colorful tulle and with canvases located unevenly relative to each other, they fill the room with light and warmth, make it cozy, conducive to communication.
The models and designs of curtains in the hall can be different. The main thing is that the design matches the mood of the hosts and meets their expectations. And so that the guests want to come back here again.
