Expressive bright shades will echo fashionable kitchen facades. And soft purple curtains will suit classic interiors.
But do not forget that it is undesirable to overdo it with this color. Therefore, if you already have plenty of it in your kitchen, let there be only small purple elements on the curtains.
This is even recommended for small rooms, as large images eat up space.
In such cases, it is better to hang compact Roman blinds. They are convenient and free up access to the windowsill. And light shades of purple will make the window visually more spacious.
Short checkered curtains are suitable for kitchens in country or Provence style. Pay attention to cafe curtains, also appropriate in such interiors.
