Curtains for the kindergarten are additionally decorated for the holidays. Updating the windows in different options develops a sense of taste for beautiful things in children.

Basic rules for window decoration and choosing curtains in a kindergarten
Nowadays, designers have developed a lot of options for window decoration. The main thing is the choice of fabric – it must comply with the established standards for the premises of state institutions. It is important that the fabric is natural. For this, it is necessary to choose cotton, cambric and silk. No bright colors – soft and unobtrusive shades are necessary.
The main thing when choosing fabric for curtains is that they wash well. Children often include them in games, and of course, there is a need to wash them. It is useful to choose curtains together with a child psychologist and designer. You can do without an expensive designer - your child probably has parents familiar with design ideas and a sense of taste.
Selecting curtains for the main rooms of a children's group:
- Curtains for a kindergarten group are chosen in brighter tones with bright accents of flowers, butterflies and animals from favorite cartoons and fairy tales;
- In rooms for sleeping and resting, the best solution would be tulle in delicate shades and darker curtains to protect from the sun while children sleep and rest;
- Curtains for the music hall are chosen to be of a dense texture with bright inserts and decorations, which corresponds to the solemnity of the event.
Different colors are used in age-based groups.
Design examples:
- For the little ones: bright colors with a large pattern, preferably with a theme of animals and butterflies, insects;
- In the middle group: bright colors with plain tulle;
- For older children: plain tulle and curtains without patterns are desirable so that children are not distracted from their lessons with the teacher.
Window decoration in the sleeping area
Window decoration in bedrooms is of great importance – sleep in a child’s life plays a major role in the formation of the psyche and immunity. The child should be tuned to a calm, healthy sleep, so the curtains should be warm, non-aggressive tones and soft shades. For example, green is calming, gold or yellow gives a feeling of security and home comfort.
In children's bedrooms, plain tulle and curtains without patterns are hung so as not to distract children from sleep.
In older groups, a pattern on curtains with tulle without a pattern is allowed.
Nowadays, roller blinds are often used; they are attached to a frame – this is very convenient for shading a room when necessary.
Additionally, in bedrooms, in addition to light curtains, a new feature is added: blinds - they are convenient to use and, if necessary, to put the curtains somewhere, they are easy to remove.
Window decoration in the playgroup
On the window in the play group you can hang curtains in the overall theme of the room's design, and with a developmental component, because the curtains in the playroom are a continuation of the design of the walls, which are decorated in a developmental theme.
To decorate the play area, choose lightweight fabrics that let sunlight through well, decorated with different characters and appliqués.
In playrooms for children, a small curtain, so that the child's hand cannot reach it, decorated with cartoon characters, birds and animals, will look better.
For older children, you can decorate curtains with an educational theme.
For older children, curtains can be supplemented with educational and developmental appliqués – letters, numbers and words.
Window decoration in the music room
Curtains for a music room are a place where a child not only sings and learns music, but also celebrates the main events in his life, holidays and birthdays.
For music halls, curtains are sewn from heavy and dense fabric with folds, pleats and drapery with various decorative elements.
Decorate the hall in cold, saturated tones. It is advisable to choose blue, green, yellow, pink and orange colors. Curtains in combination with fittings of bright, saturated shades also look organic.
This music room will be a favorite place for your children.
