- For a preschooler’s room, it is recommended to purchase curtains with no or minimal additional decorative elements. The baby will want to tug or tear off what is attached separately - tassels, beads, sequins.
- For the sunny side or southern city, purchase dense material; it will save you from the heat. If sunlight does not enter the room, light transparent or translucent fabrics are suitable. Such curtains are used as a decorative element.
It is worth paying attention to natural materials - linen or cotton. Linen produces denser products, cotton produces soft and cozy products.
It is allowed to use fabric with a small addition of synthetic fibers. It is easier to care for, it does not absorb odors as much and repels dirt.

Arrangement of a room for a boy
It is advisable to decorate a boy’s room in a more strict and restrained style. It is worth considering the age and interests of the baby. This could be a bedroom in a nautical, pirate, sports, or American style, and Roman blinds will complement any design idea. If in a girl’s nursery it is possible to combine thick fabrics with airy ruffles of tulle, then simplicity of execution plays an important role here. In this case, it is worth giving preference to the universal, practical and functional aspects.
The fabric of the canvas can be plain or patterned. Curtains should be several shades darker or lighter than the walls: they dilute the calm interior with bright colors or, conversely, mute the colors. For a boy, it is better to choose shades of blue, green, cream, and yellow. Drawings on the canvas also need to be selected taking into account the child’s character and hobbies. The starry sky, space, cartoon characters, cars or other equipment, airplanes, ships, robots, animals, geometric shapes are perfect. Simple fabrics can be supplemented with ropes, cords and ropes.

Modern
Thanks to their laconicism and simple geometry, Roman blinds fit very organically into a modern interior. Plain or patterned curtains, both light and dense materials, are suitable here.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of Roman blinds is that they look good both when folded and in the “working” state, and they allow you to close the window opening efficiently, without gaps. Well, many people like them precisely because of their laconic form. Moreover, using different fabrics, you can make models for different styles - from strict minimalism to romantic Provence.
Not only do Roman blinds in the kitchen interior look original, they are also more functional than conventional options
The disadvantages of Roman blinds relate more to the features of operation:
- If the curtain covers not the shutters individually, but the entire window, opening it for ventilation when the curtain is lowered is problematic. To get to the handle, you need to either lift the curtain just above the handle, or dive under it. Considering the weight at the bottom, this is not too easy.
- After washing, you have to dismantle a bunch of ropes that stretch to each crossbar.
- When folded, Roman blinds take up some space. That is, during the day they cover some part of the glass. Which one specifically depends on the model and installation method.
These are the main pros and cons of Roman blinds. There is one more point, but it is not important for everyone: with the curtains closed, you won’t be able to “look out the window for a second.” This is the drawback...
