In the photo there are curtains with a lambrequin, made in blue and red tones.
Various shades of red and yellow are most suitable as a complementary color and for accents.
If a “yacht” or “ship” is made from a nursery, without sails the idea will be incomplete. AND better place for them than the window is not to be found.
To create a sail curtain, you will need a large piece of light white or beige fabric. Thin linen or satin will do. You can drape the “sail”, make it multi-tiered, fixing one side to an additional cornice-“mast” installed on the ceiling a little further from the window. Curtains from thick fabric deep blue with white stripes at the top will perfectly complement the marine composition.
You can also give the curtain a hint of sail in a less complicated way. Hang a white canvas cloth from a round cornice and grab it with a thick, coarse rope. Or order roller blind made of white polyester.
Styling under fishing nets – bold decision for decorating a nursery window. But such curtains will delight a young sailor.
The mesh fabric trimmed with braid or special rope can be thrown over the cornice. And hang out two blue or white linen canvases as curtains.
If you do not want to philosophize with the design, use the classic version - white curtains and ordinary colored curtains. But prints in this case should clearly indicate the theme of the interior. These can be images of waves, ships, fish, dolphins and other inhabitants of the deep sea. A blue-and-white striped "striped" roller blind is also an option. The stripes can be any - horizontal, diagonal, vertical, or even zigzags.
As for the combination of blue and white, then all its forms will be appropriate in the interior textiles of a nursery in a marine style. White top and sapphire bottom, wide stripes all over the fabric or only up to half, effective appliqué on nautical theme- you can think of many options.
Among the girls, there are also lovers of the seas. For them, it is better to play around this topic in a slightly different way. Instead of a sail on the windows, there are bright multilayer curtains with a lambrequin and images of starfish, shells, and beautiful fish. White fabric with a pattern stylized as seaweed will also look good on the windows of a nursery where a little fan of the sea element lives.
If we consider it as an option, then here the choice of prints will be even greater. For example, a plain azure blue curtain and a Roman curtain made of striped fabric in white, sand and the same blue color look spectacular.
Many children love the marine style. But before decorating the room and windows in this theme, ask what your child will like? Perhaps he can give you some good ideas!
Parents always want to put their child in a fairy tale. To a world where he would dream with pleasure and make plans for the future. Often, such a dream interior for a child is a nursery in a marine style. And, despite the general marine focus, everyone has different desires: someone wants to live in a ship's cabin, someone on the seabed, and some even dream of a deck pirate ship arranged right in the room. So why not make your childhood dreams come true?
An important element that complements the interior of the room in a nautical style are curtains. Sometimes they are even a style-forming element - for example, if the curtains are made in the form of a sea net for fishing.
Competent selection of the color and type of curtains will help to give the room a complete and harmonious look. The information below will help you navigate the main points when choosing curtains for a nursery in a marine style.
The first association that comes to mind is the color blue. Indeed, in the overwhelming majority of cases, blue is present in nautical-style interiors. Blue calms, calms and allows you to focus. At the same time, the abundance of blue suppresses mood, gives a feeling of cold. And dark blue tones visually narrow the space. Therefore, you should safely use rich blue in spacious sunny nurseries for active children. In all other cases, blue should be used sparingly.
The most advantageous and "marine" combination is blue and white. Neutral white dilutes the severity and darkness of blue. And their combination is reminiscent of a sailor's vest or the Greek Santorini - an island with white houses and blue roofs.
Another active color that successfully complements the marine focus is red. However, do not abuse it - the tips on the cornice or the red lambrequin will be quite enough to bring paint to the curtains.
All shades of blue (from light blue to turquoise), beige and sandy colors, sunny yellow and shades of brown will also set the sea style for the room. At the same time, it is important that the color of the curtains matches or complements the colors already available in the interior of the room.
If it seems that plain curtains in the nursery will look boring or too bright, use a strip. Blue and white horizontal stripes symbolize vests and will be appropriate for a nautical design. Their advantage is also that they can visually expand the room. It will be good to complement the print on the curtains with a similar pattern on the upholstery of furniture, pillows and other interior items. However, do not hang curtains with a narrow strip - such a pattern will quickly tire your eyesight.
The strip on the curtains can also be vertical. Such a solution will visually make the room taller and add air to it. It is not necessary to use only blue and white colors. You can dilute them with yellow, red or in blue... Different widths of the stripes will add dynamism to the room.
Another type of curtains that rather perform a decorative function is curtains-threads... If you show your imagination, such curtains will become the centerpiece of the design of the room. You can make curtains by hand with your child from a thick rope, tying knots on it and attaching shells, small pebbles and starfish collected on vacation at sea. Children will proudly show their friends a homemade curtain, and you will have a long memory of a pleasantly spent leisure time together.
Blinds are sometimes an alternative to curtains. They may not be as colorful as the textile curtains - although you can choose between blinds in any color. However, they are quite supportive of the nautical theme. A definite plus of the blinds in their practicality and ease of care. Installing blinds would rather be appropriate in a grown-up child's room.
Sometimes a child asks to design a nursery, being impressed by specific characters from books or cartoons. For such an occasion, textile salons and shops offer a variety of fabrics with a printed nautical style. You can find curtains with simple seashells, and curtain fabrics with drawings of cartoon characters of a marine theme. At the same time, good solutions of companion fabrics are offered, you can pick up light organza curtains and opaque dense curtains for the second row with the same or similar pattern.
If the stores do not have what you or your child want, there is the possibility of photo printing on the fabric of the desired pattern. Rest assured - no one else will have such a curtain. But when choosing an image, special attention should be paid to its quality, otherwise, when printing on a large area of curtains, the drawing will be fuzzy or pixelated.
As a rule, childrens in a marine style are performed for boys. After all, they are the ones who dream of travel, adventure and imagine themselves as a brave captain or, on the contrary, as a pirate. For them, you can make curtains in the form of sails, if the area of the nursery allows it. A rope curtain will also look good. In general, any curtains in blue and blue "boyish" tones will organically fit into a boy's nursery.
Girls in nautical style are attracted most often Marine life... Therefore, curtains in the nursery for girls can be with mermaids, fish, starfish. Most matching colors- white, beige, yellow. Of course, the curtains can be with a traditional stripe, but for girls it is better to soften the colors - choose not bright blue, but pastel blue.
