Types of tulle for children's rooms
Tulle is a translucent fabric in addition to curtains. Its main purpose is to let diffused sunlight into the room during the day. Thanks to it, you can maintain a balance of dim light and twilight.
Choosing tulle for a child's room is different from choosing it for other rooms. A child, unlike an adult, quickly gets overexcited and tired. Therefore, it is important to choose lighting that will make the room comfortable and bright.
Let's look at 8 selection rules.
- The fabric should be in harmony with the curtains and the surrounding interior.
- Keep the design balanced: floral patterns with floral patterns, geometric patterns with geometric patterns, etc.
- It is not necessary to choose white or milky colors. The main thing is that the shade is 2-3 tones lighter than the color prevailing in the curtains.
- Easy to care for – choose fabric that can be machine washed or soaked.
- Natural hypoallergenic materials are especially important when choosing for a child's room.
- It is better to give preference to fireproof materials. Even if the child does not experiment with fire.
- Choose calm shades and patterns – bright accents quickly become boring.
- If you want to visually increase the height of the ceiling, the tulle should lie on the floor by 3-5 cm.
If the child is already able to express his wishes, be sure to listen to his opinion.
Smooth tulle can be made from the following materials.
- The veil is soft and weightless, and lends itself well to draping.
- Organza is stiffer than veil, lets light through well and forms beautiful folds. Inexpensive option.
Patterned tulle is suitable for those who want to create an unusual interior solution.
- Tulle for a nursery with a pattern that can be either printed on the fabric or made by adding threads of different colors.
- Light lace is suitable for a girl. A popular solution is a short fabric to the windowsill.
- Mesh – by interlacing threads, a diamond-shaped or square mesh is formed. It allows air to pass through well and does not flutter in gusts of wind.
- Kiseya - individual threads that can be used both independently and together with curtains. Combinations with roller blinds are popular.
- With creases of regular or chaotic geometric shape.
You can also decorate with decorative elements. For example, you can attach butterflies to the curtains.
It is important to choose the window design depending on the child's age.
- It is better to hang a material of a calm shade without ornament in the nursery of infants. The child still does not distinguish details well, it is important to create coziness without irritating details.
- For boys and girls under 10 years old, calm fabrics with bright accents in the form of cartoon characters or stars, ships, and polka dots are suitable.
- It is important for teenagers to be given the opportunity to both fill the room with light and have the opportunity to close themselves off from prying eyes. Since the fabric lets light through, it is better to choose blackout and heat-protective fabrics in addition to it.
Since the fabric takes the brunt of dirt and dust from the street, it is worth knowing how to properly care for the fabric.
- Shake it well to remove dust. It is advisable to do this outside the apartment.
- Soak gently in a basin of warm water with some powder added.
- If you want to wash the fabric in the machine, you should set the minimum number of revolutions and washing time.
- The fabric should be dried in a straightened state, so it will dry faster and will not wrinkle. Many people hang wet tulle directly on the curtain rods.
- There is no need to iron them, the damp fabric straightens out on its own.
Let's move on to choosing designs for girls and boys.
