Preference should be given to floral designs, abstractions, geometric shapes, monograms or imitation textures (water drops, concrete, feathers, etc.). But they must be appropriate and be combined with something (textiles, carpet, paintings).
Decor
Tiebacks, edging, and holders are used as decorative elements. As well as clamps made of metal, wood, stone or glass. Even the cornice itself can be an interesting decoration, highlighting the beauty of the curtain.

Cafe curtains
In essence, these are ordinary short curtains, but often decorated with a lambrequin. They are only attached from the middle of the window. They allow maximum light through during the daytime and shield visitors from the eyes of passers-by on the street. It originates from the USA, where such design can be seen in every cafeteria.
High tech
It is distinguished by the monotony of the room and the minimalism of the furniture. The palette includes 1-2 shades. The coating is monochrome, glossy. Lots of glass, mirrors, but no massive walls or partitions, which are replaced by transparent partitions or sliding doors.
Often, when zoning space, dense, monochromatic curtains are used. This is popular in studio apartments, where both a living room and a bedroom are located. Golden curtains here match light walls or, conversely, dark ceilings and floors.
Modern style
This is more of an interpretation of the previous design, but with the introduction of bright accents and patterns. Characterized by stripes, geometric inserts, paintings or even panels. But the main design is in pastel colors, against which the golden curtains look noble. Materials are both natural and synthetic.
Mounting method using eyelets, ceiling cornice or wall. Lambrequin, edging and drapery are useless here. Cornices hidden in the ceiling niche are popular. Then golden curtains fall as if from nowhere.
Classic
When designing such a design, you need to select noble, dense fabrics, different shades of gold with unobtrusive patterns. Additionally decorated with tassels, tiebacks, lambrequin and fringe.
Classics are best done in large rooms and with ceilings of 250 cm. The color of the room is from burgundy, brown to black.
The furniture is either vintage or hand-aged. Lighting: chandeliers with crystal inserts, massive lamps, sconces and floor lamps, with bronze metal elements.
Country
This style resembles a cross between Provence and rustic. It is characterized by natural materials, wood, linen, cotton. Curtains with a floral pattern or checkered pattern, complemented by ties. Paintings and decorations with images of animals and nature, living plants. As well as figurines or vases made of stone, wood, clay.
Art Deco
This style is both practical and pompous. Successfully combined aristocracy and modernity. It is dominated by asymmetry of shapes and precise geometry. When decorating, expensive and natural materials are used. He demonstrates the class of the owner, but at the same time there is not much comfort. The style is distinguished by light shades interspersed with gold (furniture fittings, textiles, sanitary ware), mirrors, glass and lots of light.
East style
The basis is a riot of colors and ornaments. The leading colors are green, blue, ruby, and white. Therefore, curtains in the bedroom predominate with embroidery (often handmade) from brocade or other coarse material. The interior looks expensive and impressive. It is difficult to recreate it in a small room with ceilings up to 240 cm. Gold embroidered patterns dominate this style.
The windows should be dome-shaped, tall, and the room should be bright. The colors are rich but not too bright. Textiles play a major role. Carpets and pillows are multi-colored, the pattern of which is often repeated on the curtains.
