Features of one-sided curtains in the kitchen

One-sided curtains occupy only one side of the window opening. They are brought to one side, grasping the upper opposite edge and securing them with a clip or a special lock.

One-sided curtains are ordinary curtains, however, with the help of a special pick-up, they are removed to one side of the window

The advantages of one-sided curtains, if they hang in the kitchen, are:

• low tissue consumption;
• ease of use;
• transformation of the environment;
• no barriers to the sun;
• reducing the risk of fire (if the curtains are moved away from the stove);
• practicality (one-sided curtains are less dirty, which is especially important when the window is adjacent to the cooking area).

Combining curtains on one side with styles

Curtains on one side always look interesting in the kitchen, the main thing is not to go against the rules of the style in which the interior of the room is decorated.

Table: type of one-sided curtains depending on the style of the kitchen

Style	Style features	Suitable type of one-sided curtains
Classical	Symmetry and correctness of geometric shapes, calm and natural shades with the dominance of white, luxury achieved with the help of stucco molding, expensive carved furniture and niches	Expensive luxurious fabrics with voluminous draperies
Baroque	An abundance of smooth curved lines, vast space, many decorative elements (for example, fringes and candlesticks), the use of expensive finishing materials such as marble and natural wood, any color scheme
Minimalism	Multifunctional furniture, no unnecessary items, simple and miniature chandeliers, the predominance of white or gray, the use of natural materials with a rough texture (for example, brick or concrete), a simple form of furniture	Simple and light monochromatic (for example, completely white) fabric in combination with roller blinds, a stack or organza on the window, giving a strict style a little softness
High tech	Straight and swift lines, simple shapes, the predominance of metal, glass or plastic, maximum illumination, an abundance of silvery shades
Country	Soft colors, use of simple materials (unpainted wood, plaster, beams and paper wallpaper), furniture of the correct shape, an abundance of plant patterns	One-layer fabric made of natural material (chintz, linen or silk of a warm shade) without a bright pattern, possibly with a lambrequin on one side
Provence	The use of natural materials such as stone, wood and metal, floral designs, antique furniture of elegant shape, open shelving, as if faded in the sun pastel colors

In the kitchen, finished with white stone and decorated with cream and pink furniture, light curtains on one side of the window accentuate the elegance of the interior style.

In combination with furniture with a slight antiquity effect, curtains on one side can give the kitchen a special chic

The symmetry and correctness of a classic kitchen can be neatly broken by the asymmetry of one-sided curtains.

Tips for choosing a single sided fabric material for a kitchen window

The main requirements for the fabric of one-sided curtains are the ability not to get dirty, not wrinkled, not lose color, despite the high risk of contamination, frequent washing and high humidity in the room. In this situation, such practical and good materials as polyester and viscose are worthy of attention.

Curtains made of synthetic material serve for a long time in the kitchen, despite the dampness

If the owner of the kitchen is more afraid of the proximity of one-sided curtains to the stove and the radiator than of dirt and dampness, then he should give preference to natural fabrics. Cotton, linen and silk are considered resistant to heat. True, the first and second fabric quickly fade in the sun, and the third one crumples and gets dirty quickly.

Curtains made of natural material, unlike synthetic counterparts, do not deteriorate due to exposure to high temperatures

Suitable color, pattern and fabric pattern on one side of the window opening

To dispel all doubts about the color of one-sided curtains in the kitchen, you need to know the following:

• the color of the fabric may differ by several tones from the color of the walls, otherwise the fabric on the kitchen window will become invisible;
• white is a taboo, because in the kitchen it will not remain perfectly clean, so it is wiser to use a cream or beige shade in combination with brighter tones;
• a dark color is not the best option, since kitchens are rarely large, and dull visual tones reduce the space.

When choosing a pattern or fabric pattern for one-sided curtains, you only need to consider one thing - its compliance with the surrounding interior. The most suitable prints when it comes to fabric on one side of the kitchen window are polka dots, floral patterns, checks and stripes.

If white color dominates in the kitchen, then it is better to curtain the window with a light cloth, using a twisted cord as a catch

In the kitchen, where brown and white tones are present, gray plain curtains on one side of the window look good

For a kitchen immersed in dark colors, gray curtains are suitable, but always light, so that the situation does not turn out to be gloomy

It is advisable to decorate a bright kitchen with one-sided curtains with a discreet pattern

For the kitchen window, it is advisable to use thin curtains with a floral pattern, the color of which does not create disharmony with the interior items of the room

Red one-sided curtains made of synthetic material will accentuate interesting and bright wall decoration

When the furniture and walls of the kitchen are painted light brown, the window can be draped with dark single-sided curtains with a golden pattern.

Use of curtains on one side with decorative hooks

Pickups for fixing curtains on one side of the window can be:

• decorative woven belt, hooked into the wall. This element usually looks invisible, although sometimes it, on the contrary, is made catchy - a separate worthy element of decorating a window opening;

  

  Decorative woven support should not differ from the curtain in color and material

• twisted cord, designed for decorating natural fabric. It is tied with a bow or intertwined. The main thing is that it is not brighter than the fabric, although a difference of 1-2 tones is acceptable;

  

  With a twisted cord, a one-sided fringed curtain will look especially beautiful

• a chain that looks good on curtains hanging from a metal curtain rod. This grip should not be thick. A thin chain will perfectly decorate any fabric, including tulle;

  

  The curtain can be removed to one side of the window, even with a metal part, if there are metal objects in the kitchen interior, for example, a chandelier

A creative way of fixing curtains to one side is to use buttons. It is desirable that they have an interesting shape and be painted in the same color as the curtains.

No less interesting device for picking up curtains is a flower pots. It is placed on the desired side of the window. Carefully fold the edge of the curtain and attach the pots to the stand on a loop specially sewn to the fabric.

One-sided curtains with lambrequins

The kitchen will sparkle with new colors if one-sided curtains in the form of a lambrequin are hung on its window. In this case, the fabric is not fixed on the window opening in the usual way, but is wound on the cornice with the formation of swags (waves) and their fixation with rod restraints. The edge of the lambrequin is left to fall like a tie.

Single-sided curtains are not advised to weigh in the kitchen with a small distance from floor to ceiling. A beautifully designed cornice will draw the attention of visitors to the room on the problem of a low ceiling.

If you make waves of fabric on the cornice, then a window with a one-sided curtain will not seem empty

Even a thin and transparent curtain can be given the appearance of a lambrequin if it interferes with cooking on the countertop right by the window

Complemented with decorative elements, one-sided curtains with a lambrequin look fabulous

Lambrequins are combined with short arched curtains

Other options for decorating a kitchen window with a cloth on one side

One-sided curtains can be used to decorate a kitchen window with a balcony door, because asymmetric fabric does not interfere with going out to the area with a railing.

Single-sided curtains are a great alternative to the kitchen door. Often it is simply not possible to use the small size of the room without problems. And the fabric on one side of the doorway doesn't need to be moved at all to enter the tiny kitchen.

One-sided curtains allow you to disguise the exit to the balcony without interfering with the way

One-sided curtains often cover only the door to the balcony, and the window itself is covered with roller blinds

If the kitchen has both an exit to the balcony and a separate window, then nothing prevents you from using one-sided curtains with a lambrequin and simple roller blinds

A large kitchen window with access to the balcony is perfectly disguised by a one-sided curtain and a short asymmetric curtain

At the entrance to the kitchen, you can weigh a one-sided curtain made of white threads, and not put an ordinary wooden door

It can be convenient to leave the door to the kitchen open, covering the entrance to the room with a light cloth

How to properly hang one-sided curtains in the kitchen

In order for the one-sided curtains in the kitchen to be hung correctly, you need:

• fasten them on hinges or rubberized eyelets, and not on rings that will move from their place even from light touches and breezes of the wind;

  

  One-way curtains with eyelets do not tear, as happens with fabric attached to the curtain with rings

• fix matter on one side by means of a special grab or clamp on a magnet;

• decorate the opposite side of the window opening with a mini-curtain made of tulle or other fabric, most importantly, not textured, so that the window does not look pretentious.

  

  Together with one-sided curtains, it is advisable to use short curtains located directly at the cornice, and roller blinds

When choosing one-sided curtains for the kitchen, it is important to strive to create harmony. An imbalance with the rest of the room will not arise if you look for the necessary material without unnecessary haste.
