Double-sided curtains

One type of double curtains is double-sided curtains. With this option you can show your most extraordinary fantasies. They are made of two types of fabrics with a lining, thereby allowing you to tightly close the window opening, protecting the premises from excess sunlight. They can even replace curtains if you cover the window completely with one layer and use the second only on the sides.

Pay attention to the quality of the fabrics, the evenness of the seams, the tailoring of the product - the presentability of their appearance will depend on this.

Currently, double-sided curtains made of dense, expensive fabrics are used; the lining reliably prevents fading of the material.

They can be given a decorative look using large folds. This choice will delight you for many years, creating a special warm atmosphere in your home.

Cut out the panels

To cut a curtain panel, you need to decide on the length and width of the finished product. The width, as a rule, is determined based on the size of the window - the curtain should completely cover the opening. But if you need the fabric to cover not only the window, but also all or part of the wall, measurements are made with this calculation in mind. The length of the curtain can be of four sizes (the most common options):

  • to the window sill (the fabric ends before reaching 1-2 cm);
  • slightly below the window sill (10-15 cm);
  • to the floor (does not reach the coating by 1-2 cm);
  • long, lying on the floor (such curtains are made 15-60 cm longer than the height of the ceilings in the room).

Thus, the length of the cut should be equal to the height of the finished product plus 20 cm for processing the lower and upper cuts. The width of the panel is determined individually in each case. The only thing that needs to be taken into account is that a tightened curtain braid narrows the curtain by about 2-2.5 times. For the lining, a panel is cut out that will be 10 cm smaller in width and 2.5 cm shorter than the curtain itself. If the width of the lining fabric is not enough, then the individual pieces can be joined with a double-sided backstitch. We'll tell you how to sew curtains further.

Classic double curtains

In this option, the curtains are hung one after the other or one on top of the other. In this case, the first or second one is usually assembled and decorated with a pendant, a rope, ribbons and other relevant elements. There are options to assemble both curtains.

You can play with textures, combining denser expensive fabrics with thin, translucent ones, and printed fabrics with satin motifs and so on. It all depends on your taste and desire.

Triple curtains for the bedroom

The window decor in the bedroom must meet certain requirements:

  1. dosing of penetrating sunlight;
  2. the use of a color scheme that would not depress the human psyche and promote good rest;
  3. combination with the interior and design of the bedroom as a whole.

Does the use of a multi-layer solution allow for these features to be taken into account? More than.

In a three-layer composition, it is possible to use not only thick curtains to limit the penetration of light, but also the use of light fabrics, since placing them on top of each other will perform the same function.

In addition to this, light and thin canvases will add airiness and increase the space. A combination of different textures and colors will allow you to play up the changing mood of the owner or mistress of the bedroom.

The use of thick curtain fabrics for curtains in all layers is also justified, as this will create sound insulation and a complete absence of daylight - a necessary condition for those who want to soak in bed longer.

Combining double curtains

The most popular is the combination of fabric type. The most commonly used is the degree of fabric density. One of them is chosen to be dense, heavy, plain or printed, practically impervious to light, while the other, on the contrary, is light and flowy, transparent, one color or including several shades or patterns.

They also combine materials of different densities with the same patterns or without them at all. Or the same fabrics with different colors.

When matte fabrics are used with glossy ones, for example, velvet with satin, the result is an elegant, extraordinary decor with a twist. Experiment, let your design be special.

If you are looking for an easy way

In this case, there is a “cunning” option for you: double-sided curtains that do not require a second layer of textile, its role will be played by the wrong side, because there are many options for double-sided fabrics for curtains:

  • a combination of matte and glossy textures of different shades on the face and back;
  • the front side is with a pattern, the back side is plain;
  • a drawing reflected “in the negative” (for example, from the face - pink peas on a blue background, from the back - blue peas on a pink);
  • glossy sides in different shades.

Models such as ordinary curtains are sewn: the side, top and bottom sections are processed, and the curtain tape is attached. You can decorate the side seams with decorative piping, because the hem seam will be visible when turning the lapel, and this is not always beautiful.


If you decide to choose this type of window textile, look at the photos in the catalogs of manufacturing companies or online stores, and you will see the difference in price and appearance. The cornices for such models are not so durable - this is also a plus.

Which option to choose is up to you. In any case, the interior is not easy to transform: it can change beyond recognition.
