Curtains in a wooden house: choosing the best design, 80 photos in the interior

We strongly associate the carved lace trim on the windows with Russian folk art. Traditionally, Russian people decorated their homes in affordable ways. The most common of them is wood carving. Not a single house could do without carved decorations. They were made in two techniques: solid carving and openwork. The first type was previously rare due to its complexity (it was performed directly on a beam), and now it’s even more so - it’s almost never found.

Openwork carvings on the windows

Another thing is openwork carving. It has become an integral part of Russian wooden architecture. Not only noble and rich people ordered carved frames for windows in a wooden house. Simple peasant huts were sometimes decorated no less fancifully. The heyday of this type of folk art occurred in the 17th-18th centuries; it was from that time that most of the monuments of wooden art have reached us. Like, for example, the reconstruction of the wooden palace of Alexei Mikhailovich in Kolomenskoye.

Each region, region or province has its own unique carving techniques and techniques. You will never confuse houses with platbands and other decorative elements near Yaroslavl with village huts in the Nizhny Novgorod region. In any design, windows with carved frames make the house more airy and weightless. Fine carvings lighten the squat look of a rustic log home. Depending on the craftsman's art, sometimes houses look like works of art.

Although initially the platbands had a completely different function: they covered the gap between the window and the window opening, this saved heat in the house and protected against rain and small debris getting into the gaps, which over time could lead to rotting or mold. Subsequently, advantages not related to the practical use of cashing devices began to be identified. Now these advantages can be attributed to purely aesthetic ones:

The very name “platband” speaks for itself, because it was located “on the face” of the house. That is, on the part of the house that faced the street. Beautiful platbands emphasized the individuality of the owners, their taste and wealth. Please note that in those village houses that have preserved platbands, their absence from the end or rear of the house is striking. Although regular overhead wooden strips are available for practicality.
When decorating windows, carved cash can visually enlarge a squat house or pull it up. The airy lace of wooden windows and the entire house creates an atmosphere of weightlessness, hiding the heavy structure of a village hut.
Now that the main directions of wooden architecture in different countries in different eras are known, it is possible to create a certain style.
With the help of carvings, you can harmoniously combine buildings, even a fence on a site, into a single ensemble.
In some cases, when decorating a wooden house, only wooden trim will be the only design option.

For a long time, when rural residents flocked to the city, and the private sector in the cities was demolished, platbands went out of fashion for a long time. If houses were built, they were mostly brick or frame-fill. There was nothing “extra” about them, especially not carvings.

They tried to make the house faster and cheaper. Now the general trend is very similar, but the fashion for everything Russian has somewhat changed the character of buildings. Many began to erect log houses and decorate them as before.

A special approach to window decoration with curtains

A wooden house outside the city is a pleasant place for a city dweller, where you want to return and spend the whole weekend. Wooden walls and natural curtains convey the feeling of nature and the freshness of the forest. The design of the house sets the mood for relaxation, and the decor of the window opening also plays an important role. The color of the curtains will organically combine with textiles or furniture upholstery. For decoration, you can take fringe, tassels, bows, and tiebacks.

Rules for decorating windows with curtains in a wooden house:

Roller blinds are used independently in a laconic interior, and they can also be supplemented with curtains to create an interior in any style.
Short curtains look original and give the interior a special look.
Translucent tulle can be folded in half, this design will be functional.
Curtains look good with garters, and the most suitable type of fastening is braid or rings.
When decorating a window with a lambrequin, you need to take into account the color of the walls and not make it too lush.

Style solution for a wooden house

Taking into account the style of interior design, you can choose appropriate curtains that will favorably highlight the overall appearance of the room.

The Provence style is distinguished by its particularly bright colors. A spacious window can be decorated with light curtains with a floral print and attached to a wooden cornice using loops or bow ties.

You can make a classic look in a wooden house if you choose light, heavy velvet curtains. But it is worth remembering that such material requires frequent maintenance, especially in a country house.

The photo shows an example of a classic interior in a country house where you can see that the classics are harmoniously combined with roller blinds.

The chalet style is suitable for a spacious two-story wooden house with a second-light window, which will be decorated with light light curtains with a drawstring or braid fastening.

Country style is easy to recreate in a wooden country house due to natural decorative materials, log walls, beamed ceilings, natural textiles and simple curtains. Check out country style curtain design ideas.

The modern style of a wooden interior is emphasized by curtains made of organza and other modern materials, which are combined with the color of the decorative elements of the interior.

Eco style can be emphasized with curtains in natural shades of green, brown or beige.

Types of curtains for a country house

Curtains create the mood of the room, and therefore it is important to choose not only the material, but also the appropriate type of curtains for a country house that will meet the requirements of the room.

Roman blinds are suitable for decorating any room in a wooden house, as well as a veranda. They look simple, but at the same time stylish. The design allows you to adjust the degree of lighting in the room.

Curtains with a lambrequin are suitable for both regular and triangular wooden windows. A lambrequin can soften corners, become an accent, or decorate a wall above a window opening. You can also hang a lambrequin in the kitchen on its own or in addition to blinds.

Cafe curtains with ties, bows or loops are suitable for decorating a small window in a kitchen in a wooden house in country or Provence style.

Blinds are suitable for the laconic design of a bedroom window in a wooden house, country office or attic. They are easy to care for and can also be combined with fabric curtains. You can also look at photos of blinds on the windows in the interior.

Tools for work

To paint a window profile you will need to prepare tools and consumables.:

a soft paint brush along the width of the profile;
thin brush for hard-to-reach places;
spray gun or spray gun;
plastic or metal spatula for removing dirt and protective film;
paint container;
masking tape;
protective film for double glazed windows;
solvent;
paint;
color;
finishing varnish;
a clean rag;
respirator;
gloves;
work clothes.

For lamination technique:

primer mixture;
a tool with rollers that follow the shape of the profile;
adhesive tape;
liquid soap and detergent with spray;
solvent or alcohol to degrease the surface;
hair dryer;
stationery knife;
squeegee (scraper);
tape measure or long ruler.

Advice . You should not laminate windows alone; it is better to invite an assistant.

Types of curtain rods and methods of securing curtains

For a wooden house, string, tubular and baguette cornices made of wood are best suited, as well as metal ones with imitation steel, copper, bronze and forged tips. An aluminum or plastic cornice is suitable for a bay window. According to the mounting option, both ceiling and wall cornices are suitable.

The curtains themselves can be attached to eyelets, rings, ties, loops and braid.

Curtains with eyelets are large or small rings sewn into the upper part, which are strung on a cornice. The even arrangement of the rings creates spectacular folds on the curtain.

The photo shows an option with eyelets that easily move along the eaves in a wooden house. Roman blinds go harmoniously with them.

Curtains with rings are attached with the seam inward using plastic loops on the rings that hang on the curtain rod. They create waves on the fabric and are easily removed from the curtain rod.

The photo shows an example of the most common fastening of straight curtains to the cornice - on rings.

Tie curtains are attached to the curtain rod using ribbons tied in a bow or knot. The thicker the curtain, the thicker the tape should be.

Curtains with loops are attached to a tubular cornice using sewn-in fabric loops. Suitable for classic and modern interiors in a wooden house.

Drawstring curtains are distinguished by their silent opening due to the pocket through which the fabric is hung on the curtain rod. This fastening is suitable for cafe curtains, niche curtains and wooden attic windows.

The photo shows an example of the design of a trapezoidal window with a drawstring, where the cornice follows the shape of the opening.

Curtains with braid look dynamic due to frequent folds due to sewn laces that are pulled together. This option looks good with overhangs and a lambrequin.

How wood-colored frames are made

The order of production of a window profile from A to Z:

1. First of all, all excess particles, dust, and dirt are removed from the surface of the plastic. This is done chemically - using alkaline detergents

2. Then the material is thoroughly dried

3. The next step is to apply a layer of primer to the plastic. It is a mixture of glue and solvent and is designed to improve the adhesion of the film to the material

4. In no less than 24 hours, the frame is ready for film application. This happens in a special chamber with precisely controlled temperature (+130°C), air humidity and pressure

5. The squeegee unit evenly distributes the glue over the surface of the film. In this case, the material is heated to a certain temperature (no more than 45°C) in order to improve the application to the plastic and at the same time prevent air bubbles from appearing under the film

6. Simultaneously with the application of glue and heating of materials, special rollers operate in the chamber, pressing the film to the frame and removing air from under it

7. If the edges of the film extend beyond the edges of the frame, the excess parts are cut off with a disk-shaped cutter or a starting knife

8. After applying the film to the window frame, you need to wait at least two weeks until the material shrinks completely. This is necessary so that the window profile does not deteriorate during transportation and installation due to an insufficiently “grabbed” surface

9. Then the product is checked for peeling of the film, presence of defects, etc.

10. When the frame is completely ready, a protective film is glued on top of it to prevent mechanical damage during transportation and installation

11. The finished profile cannot be put into operation immediately. Before welding or cutting the material, you need to wait three days, and before installing arches or otherwise curved frames - 28 days. But the difficulties do not end there - to store such products, it is important to maintain optimal humidity and air temperature. Only after this are laminated window profiles delivered to warehouses and stores, where we see them perfectly covered.

In order for the decorative “wood-like” coating to look natural and adhere well to the surface of the plastic, its gluing is carried out in several stages.

Before starting work, a special primer is applied to the PVC profile to improve adhesion of the work area. After preparation, a film with an adhesive composition is applied to the surface and the materials are pressed against each other using special equipment. For gluing, two types of compounds are used: polyester-based adhesive and polyurethane-based hot melt adhesive. Each solution requires a special preparation and storage technology. At the final stage, the connection is strengthened by rolling it through a group of shafts.

Window laminating machine

This lamination technology not only firmly adheres the film to the plastic, but also increases its strength and service life. Unfortunately, the lamination process can only be carried out using special equipment and it will not be possible to perform it efficiently at home. Many manufacturers sell beautiful wood-look PVC windows in ready-made versions, and also offer to order the desired option individually.

Sometimes, in addition to plastic elements, the glass itself is decorated with wood-like film. In some cases this is done to increase its attractiveness, and in others to improve strength characteristics. Decorative coating makes glass stronger, prevents glass fragments from scattering when broken, and some types even protect windows from bullets.

There are coatings with energy-saving functions - they retain heat in the room in winter and do not allow hot air to penetrate into it in summer. Windows with this coating can significantly save on heating costs in cold weather and do without air conditioning in the seasonal heat.

A film with ultraviolet protection will protect people who care about their health from the harmful effects, and, in addition, blocks possible external wiretapping.
A coating with a mirror effect is very popular with residents of the first floors and residents of standard high-rise buildings located close to each other - it makes it possible to observe what is happening on the street, but does not allow them to see what is happening inside the room.

Choosing curtains according to the type of window

A country house is distinguished not only by its interior and exterior decoration, but also by the variety of forms of wooden windows. A non-standard window opening can be stylishly decorated with properly selected curtains.

A trapezoidal window can be draped completely or partially, or combined with tulle with blinds or roller blinds.

A triangular window in a wooden house can be designed by masking its shape, or vice versa, by highlighting it. The cornice can be installed above the window, or along the sides of the triangle. Curtains can be made of fabric of different densities, depending on the style and purpose of the room.

For windows in a house with second light, Roman blinds and straight curtains made of natural fabric are suitable. A wooden window should not be overloaded with decor, as this can ruin the natural beauty of the window. Light curtains with folds along the edge of the frame made of thicker fabric are suitable. To make the window even higher, the cornice in the living room needs to be attached under the ceiling, and if you need to visually separate the zones of the floors, then it is better to attach the curtains above the lower window.

The photo shows an example of window design in a house with a second light, where the task of separating the zone of the first and second floors using the height of the cornice was successfully completed.

Curtains for a wooden bay window combine all the windows into one composition. You can make a common curtain and drapes on the sides.

For an attic in a wooden house, simple curtains with the free edge secured using tiebacks are suitable. Also suitable are Roman ones and those on grommets with an additional cornice under the window.

Additional accessories

When installing colored windows, it is necessary to design the perimeter of the openings accordingly. For this, there are all the necessary elements, the integrated use of which facilitates the installation of structures designed in the same style with the interior and facade of the house.

Window sills

When installing windows to match the color of wood, window sills made of wood, plastic, natural and artificial stone, as well as wood-plastic composite can be installed on the inside of the opening. The final choice of material depends on the type of profile and interior design. The dimensions of the window sills and the number of decors will allow you to implement any design project.

Slopes

These structures are designed for cladding sections of walls around the opening. They are available for external and internal use. Sloping systems allow you not only to improve, but also to insulate windows along their perimeter. These structures consist of fastening elements, connecting profiles, platbands and sandwich panels.

Nashchelniki

Painted metal and plastic elements are designed for installation on the outside of windows. They ennoble openings and protect assembly seams from atmospheric agents. They are used mainly when installing systems made of plastic or aluminum profiles.

Low tides

Brown flashings can be made from sheet steel or aluminum. In any case, they are painted with powder enamel. Aluminum flashings are more expensive, but they absorb sound better and have good rigidity.

When choosing all additional elements, it is recommended to consider their aesthetic compatibility not only with the window profile, but also with each other.

Choosing curtain material and color

The color design of the window depends on the size of the room and window, as well as the amount of natural light. A spacious and bright room can be made even larger with the help of airy white curtains, while dark brown curtains would be out of place in a small bedroom. For a wooden house, curtains in green, white, cream, beige, brown, checkered or striped, but without complex patterns and ornaments, are suitable. Natural fabrics that look best are cotton and linen.

Cotton curtains are durable and easy to care for.

Linen curtains will make a bright accent on the natural orientation of the interior. It is best to use undyed fabric.

Tulle allows light and air to pass through well and is suitable for decorating windows in the bedroom and living room. You can use classic white or dyed tulle in the color that will match the curtains. Also, tulle can be attached in different ways and not combined with classic curtains.

Curtain fabrics are suitable for creating an antique interior. Curtains for a summer house can be made of linen or velvet, which will resonate in the design of a sofa, pillows or napkins.

The photo shows a modern design of a wooden house with thick curtains. This solution will always be in fashion and will emphasize style in simplicity.

Types of laminated PVC systems

Features of window profile lamination:

Laminated window profiles can be brown on the inside and white on the outside

White profile - standard, intended for outdoor use

Window sills, as a rule, are matched to the tone of the internal profile

One-sided

Most often used to style a window. The inside of the glass unit is decorated under a wooden profile to create the overall design of the room. The outside street side remains white. This type of lamination makes sense to use in multi-storey buildings, when the design of the facade at height is not so important.

Street one-way

This is also a one-sided design type. When plastic wood-look windows are made on the street side. This type of lamination can be used in a private home, which will simplify the design of the facade of the house.

Blitz survey: Which plastic windows are better: German or Russian? From the article you can learn about the advantages of German plastic windows.

Double

This is a more expensive type of design, as it requires applying a wooden texture on both sides. You can also order lamination that differs from different sides (for example, on the street it looks like oak, and in the house it looks like mahogany).

Color profile in bulk

This type of window frame design does not have a texture structure. But at the same time, from a distance, such windows will look like wood.

An order for windows stylized as wood will cost more than regular white ones, as the production process becomes more complicated. The finished frame looks very natural, while maintaining all the properties of a plastic window.

When ordering lamination with a wooden texture, it is important to ensure the integrity of the entire structure: all fittings and handles must also be painted in the same style.

Curtains in the interior of country house rooms

For the living room, long classic curtains with tulle and Roman blinds are suitable, which will look harmonious with wooden trim. A lambrequin or design with flips is appropriate here.

Blinds and cafe curtains are suitable for the kitchen, which will allow the sun's rays to pass through even through a small window.

The photo shows Roman blinds in the interior of a wooden kitchen, where the practicality of the material and ease of care are important.

The dining room will be made a pleasant place to meet guests by translucent curtains and straight drapes.

In the bedroom and nursery, you should give preference to curtains made of thick material that protect from the sun, as well as transparent tulle in combination with roller blinds.

The photo shows a bedroom with classic curtains, where the drapes match the color of the walls and the tulle matches the accent pillows.

The photo shows an example of a nursery in a wooden house, where two windows are draped with different types of curtains; this design divides the space into two zones.

So, when choosing curtains for a wooden house, it is important to take into account the style, the strength of natural light and the texture of the fabric. Walls made of timber or logs themselves look beautiful, because the simpler the curtains, the more successful the interior of the house will look.

Low tide

Window sill is an element whose main purpose is to remove moisture from window glass and prevent water from entering the frame and window sill.

The use of flashings helps prevent the destruction of both the window structure itself and the building materials used to decorate the house.

As practice shows, prices for laminated drains for windows can vary from 180 to 4,000 rubles per piece.
