Fix the curtain

Based on the kitchen curtains you have chosen you can opt for its fixing glass, wall or fixtures.

Specifically, the classic anchor of the curtains requires the use of wooden or metal sticks, anchored to the wall on the window. The curtains must then be hung through the use of rings inserted in the stick with metal calipers that hook the fabric of the curtain itself. This type of structure is more suitable in salons or high environments. 

In the case of kitchen curtains, you prefer the use of small brass chopsticks directly fixed to the infix of the upper part of the window. The wand must then be passed in a Asola obtained in the upper hem of the curtain so that the fabric slides by adhering to the glass.

The glass curtains, in fact, have as their main feature that of being of the same width of the window and accompanying the shape of the glass not cluttering the opening of the window and making it easy to access.

On the contrary, the ribbon curtains include an anchoring through tracks attached to the nearby ceiling. This forces to move the curtain before arriving at the opening of the window: this operation is uncomfortable in the kitchen environment, in which the hands are often engaged in other operations.

Choose fabrics

Among the most chosen materials for the kitchen curtains there is linen: A high quality natural fiber material known for its antibacterial, stain -resistant and antistatic and stain -proof properties.

However, there are various types of fabrics on the market; For example, there may be cotton curtains, satin or organza if you want to let as much light pass as possible. 

If you prefer a more elegant but heavy material, you can choose the silk which, however, is very sensitive to washing processes.

For cotton, the choice is varied: in addition to the satin already mentioned, there are other types of spinning including the popeline and the jacquard. The first is known for its versatility and value; The second is softer to the touch.

Match the colors

The last step concerns chromatic combinations. The rule that applies to everything is to consider the style of the environment: in a rustic cuisine, for example, you prefer red or white. In the case of a modern kitchen, remain on the soft colors or, for a darker shade of the color of the furniture but never let yourself go to an too shock effect!
