Rustic curtains are a step towards timeless tradition, allowing you to take a break from the constant race for popular destinations.

Simple curtains made of natural materials create the atmosphere of the desired idyll in the room, even if the apartment is located in the very center of a noisy city.

Rural-themed curtains are designed to give their owners a sense of home coziness and comfort.

This is an easy way to look at modern life from a different perspective and enjoy folk traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Textiles play an important role: it is thanks to them that a holistic and harmonious interior is created in rustic style.

Such curtains can hardly be called curtains in the usual sense of the word. They are airy and often decorated with bright, expressive ornaments.

Rustic curtains attract with their laconicism and naturalness. Wonderful landscapes emanate from them, where the warm rays of the sun touch the lush grass. The feeling of unity with nature fills the rooms with special positive energy.

Short curtains combined with tulle

Nowadays, you can still see half-curtained windows in some places. The open upper part lets gentle sunlight into the house, and the lower one hides the room from prying eyes.

A fishing line or wire is stretched across the window. A slightly collected curtain is placed on it.

Rustic short curtains look harmonious with light tulle and lace stripes at the top of the window opening.

In the old days, the curtains were decorated with their own hands using embroidery and knitted details. Decorations like these did their job, making the room much more comfortable. Short curtains look great in the interior of the kitchen or veranda.

Short curtains combined with a lambrequin

Rustic connoisseurs often choose practical curtains up to the windowsill. In the upper part, they must necessarily contain a simple or tightening lambrequin.

The luxury and severity characteristic of the curtains of many modern styles, in this case, is replaced by airiness and natural simplicity.

Lush lambrequins, which seem weightless, give the curtains a charming carefree note. A similar design of rustic curtains can be used in the kitchen.

Long curtains

Long country-style curtains are not as common as their short "congeners", but they have a right to exist. Usually they are used to decorate windows in a hall or a nursery. In sultry summer they bring coolness to the room, and on windy days they bring warmth.

Long curtains are ideal for when flower pots or vases are placed on the windowsill.

Which fabric is best?

Rustic curtains are best made from natural fabrics. Which of them is better to opt for?

• Linen curtains for small rustic windows are incredibly practical and beautiful. Their only drawback is their high price.
• Durable and easy to use, chintz curtains are easy to wash, but can lose brightness from prolonged exposure to the sun. Products made from this material should not be washed too much. hot water, since they tend to become shorter. Inexpensive chintz is preferred by lovers of bright colors and variegated patterns.
• Satin is a fabric made of twisted cotton threads that looks like silk. The dense and slightly shiny material has a significant advantage - it hardly wrinkles.
• Taffeta curtains are no less beautiful. Delicate, thin fabric white makes curtains truly graceful and light.

Colors and ornament

If the material for curtains can be varied, then with the motives of the drawings, not everything is so simple. The photo of village curtains is dominated by ornaments depicting plants and animals, chickens, village houses and garden fruits. Checkered and striped curtains are very popular.

It is allowed to combine bright colors, among which yellow, red, green and blue tones are preferred. White and cream curtains should be decorated with patterns. A tablecloth or napkins made of the same material will harmoniously complement the overall picture.

The play of colors on the window enhances the mood and provides positive emotions. From bright curtains with a variegated pattern blows a sincere village fun, which is often lacking in a modern person.

Patchwork in curtain design

Intricate cuts are not used to make rustic curtains. You should also forget about catchy accessories.

In this case, the emphasis on the curtains can be made in a more original way, using the current patchwork technique, that is, the creation of curtains from multi-colored pieces of fabric.

This mosaic will effectively highlight the rustic curtains in the interior.

Rustic style: popular destinations

The summer cottage season is approaching. In the warm season, more and more people prefer to live outside the city, in nature. And this means that you need to think over not only your life, but also the interior, in which you will spend part of spring, summer and the warm beginning of autumn. Perhaps a do-it-yourself curtain for the dacha from an inexpensive but practical fabric will be the beginning of the renovation of your summer home.

Of course, country curtains should be pleasing to the eye and match the place for which they are intended. But there are a few more parameters that should be taken into account when choosing "clothes" for the windows of suburban housing.

It is not at all necessary to sew luxurious curtains for a summer residence, because this is a country house in which everything should be simple, cute and functional

Here are some things to look out for:

• It is better to give preference to natural materials such as linen, cotton and chintz.
• Curtains should be practical. They should not fade quickly and get dirty.
• The choice of fabrics for windows also depends on their location. For windows facing the sunny side, we choose blackout curtains made of dark fabric, and for windows facing the shaded side, we leave light and light fabrics.
• If you live in the country all year round, you need to get one more set of curtains - winter ones.
• Do not overload the models with numerous frills and decorative elements. Simple and cute is our motto.
• For a veranda or gazebo, it is better to choose a material that does not allow water to pass through - PVC fabrics.

And also note that country curtains should be easy to remove, so rings or clothespins should be used as fasteners for them.

In this case, light and cute curtains are fixed on the cornice-rod with rings and clothespins: removing them is as easy as shelling pears

We sew country curtains in different styles

The style most often preferred by summer residents is called "rustic". It is popular not only in our country, but also in Europe, and even in America. Just in different countries it acquires its own characteristic features.

Patchwork in the Russian spirit

To embody the Russian rustic style, we need the simplest natural fabric. Usually it is "fun" chintz, linen or cotton. A single-color fabric, and with a small pattern will do. The curtain made by the patchwork method looks great.

Patchwork curtains look very elegant, despite the fact that they can be sewn either from new fabric, or from scraps left over from other works

To sew curtains from rags, you need to measure the window, determine the parameters of the fabrics of the future curtain, and then make a pattern of its parts. In this case, preference should be given to large elements so that the curtains are not too heavy due to the abundance of seams. The patchwork technique involves the use of geometric shapes... Most often these are isosceles triangles or squares. The combination of dark and light details looks most effective.

For the future patchwork, it is imperative to make a pattern on thick paper or cardboard, carefully numbered all the details

We cut out parts from thick cardboard without allowances for seams and number them so as not to get confused when joining. We apply patterns to the seamy side of the material and outline them along the contour with a chalk, remnant or a special marker. We will cut out each element taking into account the seam allowances - about 0.5 cm. In order for the seam to be on the seamy side of the work, the parts must be connected by attaching them to each other with their front sides.

Stitched on sewing machine or hand-made seams, be sure to iron them. To hide the wrong side of the product, it needs a lining. The edges of the resulting curtains can be decorated with braid, lace or ribbons.

Curtains in the Russian rustic style decorate not only window, but also doorways, as well as a sleeping place.

Bringing the French country style to life

The rustic style in France was named after one of the provinces of this country. Namely Provence. To create this style, chintz is also quite suitable, and you can also use linen and even cambric. All these fabrics are natural and will serve well in the country.

When choosing a fabric, you can give preference to plain fabrics of blue, light blue, lavender and white flowers or use a material with a pattern

In addition to fabric and a sewing machine, for work we need:

• Fittings. Satin ribbons and threads to match one of the colors of the main material are well suited for decorating the product.
• Tools and material. We will prepare paper for the pattern, a measuring tape, chalk or remnants, pins and very sharp scissors.

It is better to buy fabric with a 10-15% margin in case of possible measurement errors. The minimum fabric width should be 3 meters.

Be sure to measure the window and adjust the dimensions suggested below, based on the results of our own measurements. We have to sew a simple version of Provence-style curtains from two halves with a transverse strip. The width of each half is approximately 80 cm, and the width of the transverse strip is 15-20 cm.

Despite the seeming simplicity of work, it should start with a pattern. To do this, place the paper folded in half on a large table or on the floor. We draw the contours of future canvases in half their actual size and cut them out.

When transferring the pattern to the fabric, do not forget to make allowances for the seams. In the upper part of the product, which will be attached to the cornice with clothespins, the allowance should be at least 5 cm.For the rest of the seams, it is enough to leave 1 cm each.

In the parts cut from the fabric, we pin off the edges that need to be sewn with pins so that the seams are even and neat. After that, we decorate the edges with a ribbon, and then we collect ready-made Provence-style curtains.

Attic in the Provence style looks very elegant, albeit simple. There is a lot of light here, a huge window decorated with a flowing translucent curtain

Don't forget the tie-backs that hold the curtains when they are pulled apart. They can be made from pieces of fabric from curtains or in the form of decorative cords, ribbons, flowers.

We sew curtains in the style of American country

Just like any other rustic style, country is characterized by simplicity and naturalness.

For country, natural fabrics are most often chosen:

• not too bright;
• with a floral pattern;
• in the box".

However, you can also use synthetics that imitate natural fabric. Its advantages for a summer residence are that it does not fade, does not turn yellow from the sun, does not shrink and does not wrinkle.

To correctly calculate the need for material, we take the necessary measurements. To determine the length of the product, you need to measure the distance from the eaves (top point of the curtain) to the window sill or bottom heating battery(bottom point). We add to the result obtained 6 cm for folding the product from the bottom and 3 cm for folding in the upper part of the canvas. To determine the width of the product, you need to increase the length of the cornice by 1.5-2 times, depending on the density of the upcoming drapery.

This is how the curtains we sewn will look like. The only difference the fact that these are attached to the cornice not with braid, but with decorative loops

The simplest pattern is rectangular canvases. We cut the fabric. To avoid using pins, you can set the sewing machine to long stitch mode. It allows you to baste hem. Sew a tape for curtains to the bent upper edge. Next, you should process the side seams. The edges of the tape should be tucked into the seam, and the ends of the cords should be left outside. By pulling on them, you can adjust the degree of drapery of the curtain. It remains only to process the bottom and hang the finished curtains on the cornice.

Features a rustic style for different rooms

The rustic style is versatile and very suitable for a summer residence, so all rooms can be decorated in it, taking into account their characteristics.

We sew Roman blinds for the kitchen

The most current design for kitchen curtains is called cafe curtains. The bar, fishing line or twine is fixed in the middle of the window. Two small canvases are reinforced on it. The upper part of the window is decorated with a lambrequin or curtains with hooks.

Another option that will look organic in the country kitchen is Roman blinds.

To create Roman blinds, you do not need large pieces of fabric: you can get by with a rag, which is only enough to cover the opening

For a detailed master class on sewing Roman curtains, see the video:

Living room, bedroom and dining room

If your dacha has these rooms, then decorate them with long, rustic-style curtains with tie-backs. As an additional decoration of the panels, you can use lace or fabric ruffles, satin ribbons, cords, buttons and beads.

Numerous ideas for rustic curtains are presented in the video:

Sewing curtains in Mediterranean style

Another style that summer residents are happy to choose is Mediterranean.

Its characteristic features include the following:

• an abundance of light in the rooms;
• large windows;
• preference is given to translucent or completely transparent fabrics;
• fabrics should be plain or with floral designs.

Let's prepare everything necessary materials for work:

• the fabric that we have chosen taking into account all the recommendations above;
• scissors for fabric;
• centimeter tape or tape measure;
• pins and needles, threads;
• sewing machine.

To sew curtains for a summer residence with your own hands, you need to make preliminary measurements, which we will subsequently be guided by when cutting out the fabric.

Two-piece curtains with tie-backs

To get started, you can simply attach the selected fabric to the window, check the location of the pattern and how finished curtain will look good in the interior. We measure the width of the window. We need fabrics twice as much as the obtained measurement value. That is, for a two-meter window, four meters of material will be needed.

Orange and other warm tones of sheer or translucent curtains are characteristic of the Italian style of sunny and cheerful Mediterranean style.

We determine the length of the future product, taking measurements from the point where the upper edge of the panel will be fixed to the level of the desired length. When calculating the parameters of the product, be sure to add 15-20 cm to the seams, folds and that part of the canvases that will be fixed to the cornice. It is better to cut the fabric by spreading it out on the floor or on a large table. If the curtains will consist of two canvases, then fold the product in half in width and carefully cut along the length.

Stages of creating simple curtains: cutting fabric on the floor, fixing hem with pins, distributing and fixing folds in the upper part of the fabric, working with a sewing machine

On all sides of the panels, except for the upper edge, we make hemlines, fixing them with pins. We sew the made outline on a typewriter. The canvas now looks neat. We fold the upper edge to the seamy side, fix it with pins and sew. From the outside, the seam can be hidden with tape. We use the fold obtained from above to fasten it to the cornice. Now we make hooks from the material at hand.

A more complex model can be sewn using the diagram below.

The best part about this diagram is that the dimensions are specific. This means that by measuring your window, you can recalculate the circuit data in accordance with the actual parameters.

Beautiful curtain-arch

An arch can be used to decorate a window opening both in the kitchen and in any other room. Everywhere it will look surprisingly organic and gentle. You can sew an arch from a whole piece of fabric. It should be a piece large enough for the ends of the arch to hang down to the windowsill or even lower.

To create an arched shape for such a curtain, you can use two methods.

• The arc can be cut at the bottom of the blade. The edge of the arch must be treated with an oblique inlay, you can even decorate it with ruffle. The upper part of the arch fits into opposite folds.
• In the second method, not one, but two arcs are cut. The upper arc along the cut B is stretched, a special tape is sewn to it for fastening to the cornice. The fabric, cut in a bias, hangs beautifully, forming soft folds. The edge of the arch follows the lower arc. It is sheathed, if desired, decorated with ruffle.

This option is good because beautiful folds on the arch are obtained in a natural way, based on the cutting technique itself.

For clarity, we suggest you watch a video on the creation of a curtain-arch:

As you can see, no special skill is needed in order to sew the curtains for the summer residence. But it is the curtains, selected with taste, that transform the interior before our eyes, give it completeness. You will spend at least three months at the dacha. Create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort for yourself.

Modern dachas are cozy, comfortable country houses where people come to spend their holidays or weekends with the whole family. Country houses have long ceased to look like small sheds for storing household equipment. Today, the owners of suburban real estate think over the interior design, carefully select furniture and accessories. Therefore, more and more often, many are thinking about what curtains to buy for the dacha in order to create a cozy atmosphere there?

The main parameters for choosing country curtains

• Practicality of curtains.
• The degree of density of the material.
• Functionality and simplicity.
• Ease of fastening.

The curtains in the country should be sewn from natural material that does not accumulate dust in itself and can be easily cleaned. Plus, the curtains must let air in, which is important during hot summer days. The best option would be cotton, linen or chintz products.

Depending on whether the windows overlook the sunny or shaded side, a dense or light material is selected. If a large amount of sunlight enters the room, then to maintain coolness on a hot summer afternoon, it is recommended to cover the windows with blackout curtains. For rooms in the shade, the windows are covered with tulle curtains, allowing warm air to pass from the street.

The dacha is not the place where you should use curtains with lambrequins and other decorative elements. In this case, the simplicity of design is appreciated. It is important that the curtains protect the area from mosquitoes, excess sun and draft.

Country houses are often equipped with a veranda or gazebo. For such premises, it is necessary to choose curtains made of fabric that does not allow moisture to pass through. This will help protect against sudden rain.

In a country house, you should not use complex curtain rods. Rings or clothespins are ideal, from which the curtain can be easily removed.

Choosing the style of curtains

The ideal solution for a summer residence would be to buy curtains in a rustic style with a variegated print, as shown in the photo. The bright drawing of flowers, vegetables and fruits will organically fit into the country design. As decorative finishing, you can use a tape that gathers the curtain on both sides.

For the suburban interior, you can buy curtains in a checkered or striped pattern. This design will perfectly match wicker chairs and homemade rugs. For an interior with a fireplace, the best option will become linen curtains.

Of course, not all country houses are designed in a rustic style. For high-tech interiors, black and white versions of curtains with a shiny surface, as shown in the photo, are suitable. You can also use shiny fabrics in other color combinations to suit the overall decor of the house.

If the dacha is decorated in a luxurious, pompous style, then the curtains can be decorated with tassels, velvet suspensions.

Country house curtains with small windows

When presenting village house with small windows, in itself it seems a calm, cozy atmosphere, where its own peace and quiet reigns. But there may be problems with the design of that particular small window. Sometimes this is simply not given any importance, and this is completely wrong.

Curtains not only save the house from bright light, but also help resize the window.

A great solution in the design of a small window would be a rustic design. When the window is located deep in the wall, a small curtain is placed inside the opening, which will cover the lower part of the window. The curtain fabric can be any - the main thing is that the colors correspond to folk traditions. If the window is very small, then a mini-screen would be an excellent option. The advantages of such a mechanism are the originality and mobility of the design solution.

Roman blinds look unusual on small windows, especially in children's rooms. They act as solid canvases that rise and fall with ease. They can be combined with curtains or applied independently.

With a little experimentation, you can beautifully decorate the smallest windows of a country house.

• Curtain with pick-up. The main plus of the country style is its rustic simplicity. Therefore, curtains in a rustic or country style are not difficult to sew with your own hands. Hooks, twines or ribbons can be used to catch the curtains going to the sides.

Country-style window décor is the perfect solution to revive the rustic style in the interior. Short curtains of a simple form with ruffles, hooks and decorative lambrequins take us away from the bustle of the city into the distance of grandmother's fairy tales, in which we want to be incessantly. Such live decoration windows can become the very "highlight" that you have dreamed of for so long.
