Curtains in the room of teenagers

Many young parents mistakenly believe that it is most difficult to understand their child when he still does not know how to speak, in fact, it is harder to find a common language with a teenager. If it is time to make repairs in the room, and you decide to choose the curtains, be prepared for the fact that the task will be more difficult than you could imagine.

The main difference between adolescence and any other age group is a complete unpredictability, which concerns everything around, including the curtains in your own room. It is believed that the only constant feature of children of this age is the desire to express themselves, but even here exceptions are possible.

When trying to isolate at least some difference teen curtains from children’s and adult’s products, it’s usually indicated that it’s a demonstration of tastes distinguished by signs of anti-culture, however, in an effort to show themselves as adults, a child can easily choose a completely ordinary curtain.

Because of the described uncertainty, it is quite difficult for teenagers to attribute some characteristic styles, but still to several their soul lies more often than among other segments of the population:

• Very popular modern style oriented to practicality; his beauty is in the simplicity of the lines. Curtains here will be emphasized strict, but not tasteless.

• Guys are very close high tech - style, which is characterized by metallic tones. In this case, it is not at all necessary to take a “steel” curtain - you can choose a product decorated with a futuristic cityscape.
• Creative people can appreciate style loft, resembling a picturesque abandoned industrial building - supposedly without repair. However, it is difficult to say how to enter at least some window textiles in such an interior.

In theory - for teens fit curtains of any kind, including the typical curtains, proven for centuries. However, young people are very fond of various fashion innovations, which should be discussed in more detail. Many parents know quite a bit about them.

Gaining more popularity roller blinds. This product looks like an ordinary piece of textiles, rolled into a roll. As required, it turns down. Often the product is mounted directly on the window frame. You can adjust the amount of light coming from the street.

Very popular and youth Eyelet Curtains. In a sense, this is a classic curtain, but with a fundamentally new method of fastening - when it is not the suspensions that are put on the lambrequin, but the curtains themselves, in which for this purpose special holes are made, reinforced with metal rings.

As for the length of window textiles, here teenagers are also ready for any experiments. Now you won't surprise anyone with long curtains, so often shortened or very short options are chosen.

As for the styles, the shortened models look best in their original form - as they were originally used in cafes on the coasts of warm seas. Arguing about teenage self-expression as something gloomy, we should not forget that the child can be a girl, moreover, sweet and romantic, and she will definitely like this design.

Nowadays curtains are made from a variety of materials, and a teenager may easily prefer the most unusual of them.

Therefore, it is more correct to speak not about the specific material, but about the requirements with which it must necessarily meet:

• Since the main function is protection from excessively bright light, choose fabric, starting from the degree of illumination of the room and material density. If the bedroom goes to the sunny side, and its occupant prefers twilight, choose the thickest matter, but in a darkened room it will be superfluous.

• In recent years, there is a tendency give preference to natural materials - as more secure. This rule generally applies to curtains, but a small clarification needs to be made - small synthetic additives here are considered more useful than harmful. The use of 15-20% synthetics in the material allows us to give it such useful qualities as resistance to fading and stretching, increased strength, antistaticity.

• For rooms, young children are usually chosen. a fabric with a view to the fact that she collected less dust, provoking the emergence of allergies, and was unmarked, because the kids do not know how to behave carefully. These same requirements are also relevant for teenage curtains - however, the reasons are different: a teenager does not evaluate the constant violations of the integrity of the design of his room, caused by washing curtains. Care should be as easy as possible.

Usually, teens are less susceptible to bright elements of the interior than small children. If they like brightness, then it appears more likely in posters and accessories, while curtains are usually chosen with relatively calm colors - neutral beige and blue are very popular.

Another popular solution (but rather for high-tech style) will be a city landscape painted on fabric — usually, this means modern skyscrapers in night lights that perfectly complement the interior.

Curtains in a teenager's room are often quite normally combined with a classic lambrequin, because young people in practice do not always show their individuality so strongly as to choose atypical models. Moreover, in the rooms of girls usually there are classic curtains or short curtains that literally require the presence of lambrequins. Of course, the options may be different, but more often than not, girls prefer relatively quiet interior decorations.

Some types of curtains by themselves do not require either lambrequins or other curtains, but can be successfully combined with them. This, for example, is about roller and roman blinds, the only difference between which is the folding method - in roll or folds.

The combination is usually used to control the level of illumination. Then the roller blind or Roman curtain is made of thin fabric and is fixed directly to the window profile, only scattering the light, and the classical half curtain, hung on a usual lambrequin, provides full twilight and protection from drafts and excessive noise.

Since adolescents still do not always protest enough to even touch the curtains, you should start with products that do not express protest.The first example is the classic design of a boy’s room (with a modern the curtain on grommets). As you can see, the grommets are perfectly combined with a light tulle under them.

Girls are prone to bright protest in the design of their own room much less often than boys, so they often like to emphasize the tender options, which are ambiguously making it clear that the fair sex lives here.

But for those who want to brightly show their unusualness, there are curtains applied on them graffiti. There is nothing more protest than typical street art that almost never leaves teenagers indifferent. It is possible that the young rebel wants to see him every day.

Finally, for hi-tech and modern style is very important that the interior was complemented by a decent urban landscape outside the window. If there is only a Russian hinterland, the curtain with the appropriate print will help to provide the desired effect.
