100 best ideas: tulle for the kitchen in the photo

Any owner wants to see his kitchen space not only practical, convenient, equipped with the latest technology and finished with the most advanced materials, but also cozy, pleasant in appearance. Textiles are often used to complete the image of a kitchen. Despite the total desire of the modern style of interior design to minimalism, many homeowners will not stop decorating window openings and use the finest fabrics to zonate the kitchen segment in the common room of the living room. It is the drapery of zones in the kitchen space that our selection of design projects will be devoted to.

We have prepared for you a photo gallery of modern, traditional, original, minimalist, incredibly cozy and a wide variety of kitchen facilities in which tulle is used as textile decoration. This light, translucent, mesh smooth or patterned fabric is familiar to every Russian. Many generations had the opportunity to observe just such a drapery on the windows of rooms with different functional orientations and the kitchen is no exception.

Patterned tulle or it is also called curtain, used for the manufacture of curtains, wraps and bedspreads, gradually losing its leading position, giving way to a smooth tulle. The smooth tulle, developed from two systems of threads on tulle machines, can be increasingly seen in modern design projects of kitchen spaces, as well as rooms that combine the living room, dining room and kitchen areas.

Tulle on the windows as a decoration and protection from the sun

The traditional use of tulle in the kitchen space is the drapery of windows. By placing textiles from the ceiling itself (using ceiling cornices) to the floor, you can not only reduce the level of natural light in the room on a sunny day, but also visually increase the height of the room. Among other things, thin, transparent fabrics on the windows give the entire kitchen interior lightness, airiness, and some romance.

In kitchen spaces with access to the terrace or backyard with glass doors, transparent fabrics can be used not only for their intended purpose. In addition to partially protecting the room from sunlight and prying eyes outside the home, tulle can be used as a barrier to insects, when the hosts decide to dine in the fresh air on a warm evening and open the sliding glass doors wide.

A sink for washing dishes by the window is the mistress's dream. How nice to be distracted from routine work on a beautiful landscape or to follow the children playing near the house. But the kitchen window facing the street is an occasion to hide what is happening inside the house, at least partially. Small tulle curtains, occupying a third or half of the height of the window opening will not impede the penetration of sunlight, but what is happening in the room will be hidden from prying eyes.

In some cases, the use of lace tulle for the design of window openings in the kitchen is associated exclusively with decoration. For example, short curtains with embroidered or embroidered lace in the lower part, which are not able to protect the room from sunlight, act as a decorative element. It is from such details that the image of the room becomes more comfortable, attractive, more homely.

Using tulle in its traditional form for kitchen windows is not always convenient. This is especially true for window openings that abut the countertops of the lower tier of kitchen cabinets. It is much more convenient in such cases to use the interpretation of roller blinds, but in a tulle version.

Translucent fabrics for kitchen spaces combined with living rooms and dining rooms

The spacious kitchen-dining room with a panoramic window needs drapery. A translucent tulle can be a spectacular addition to the interior of a multifunctional room - it emphasizes the ease of the image or creates an accent - it all depends on the choice of color palette. Of course, snow-white tulle is a favorite for decorating rooms with the most diverse functional load, and the kitchen is no exception. But even smooth fabrics with a light, unobtrusive print (most often floral or geometric) can organically fit into the created design of the kitchen space connected to the dining room, and sometimes the living room.

In a spacious room that serves as a living room, dining room and kitchen, as a rule, the principle of open planning is used. With this approach, the decoration of all functional segments most often has an identical design. Another unifying factor for all areas may be the drapery of several windows with a single textile choice. Snow-white smooth tulle will be an excellent choice, organically designed in any style of space design.

Many of us do not represent a different color for the execution of tulle, except for snow-white. Many housewives would agree to the use of light, pastel shades for decorating windows in the kitchen space. What about dark tones of gray, chocolate or even black? Here is an example of a combined room with a brick wall finish and the use of dark gray curtains for drapery window openings. A touch of drama to face this loft space.

Dark tulle can become a color accent in a completely bright kitchen. Against the background of snow-white finishes and light kitchen facades, dark textiles will look spectacular, draw attention to large windows and visually “stretch” the room in height if you place the cornices under the ceiling.

Translucent fabrics are equally popular for decorating kitchen windows in all shades of brown - from light beige to dark chocolate. The warmth of the color palette brings cosiness and pacification to the atmosphere of the room.

If windows of various modifications are used in the spacious kitchen room combined with the dining room, then they need an individual approach to providing drapery. For example, the windows located above the countertops of the lower tier of cabinets can be decorated using tulle blinds or in the manner of Japanese curtain screens. And for large panoramic windows or glass doors, you can use the classic look of translucent curtains.

An original way of decorating windows in the kitchen and dining room is to use thick fabric for lambrequins and thin tulle for curtains. The strict and geometric design of the lambrequin seems to be contrasted with the lightness and subtlety of the tulle, making together an interesting way of decorating window openings, bringing originality to the interior of the kitchen.

Drapery for windows on grommets is possible not only when choosing dense fabrics, but also thin, translucent tulle. Thanks to steel or plastic rings, the fabric acquires greater structurality, easily moves along the ledge and falls more stringent, evenly distributed folds. As a result, window drapery looks more orderly, progressively and organically, in relation to various variations of modern style.

If the dining area of your kitchen-dining room is located in a bay window, then using drapery for large windows will be difficult to decorate the functional segment, but also protect it from the sun during morning meals or midday dinners (depending on the location of the kitchen in relation to the cardinal points).

We use tulle for zoning the room

In order to highlight a kitchen area in a spacious living room, you can use a translucent tulle. The original design guarantees some privacy of the kitchen segment, but it is easily cleaned if necessary, allowing the light to spread unhindered throughout the space.

Tulle screens created on the principle of Japanese curtains will look original. A clear form gives some rigor and geometricity to the room, but at the same time the ornate patterns on the tulle, floral or abstract pattern brings notes of romance, lightness and freshness to the created image of the kitchen combined with the dining room.

Kitchen facades with fabric inserts

A kitchen unit with glass inserts looks original in itself. Translucent elements give lightness to the construction, add structurality to its image. But many housewives eventually realize that they would not want to publicize the contents of hanging kitchen cabinets and solve this problem with textiles. The advantage of this method of decorating kitchen facades is that you can use tulle trimmings left after window decoration or purchase small leftovers at a store at a reduced price.

Another way to use textiles in relation to kitchen facades is to replace the doors of the lower tier cabinets with translucent curtains. For some housewives, it is easier to periodically wash a small curtain than to clean the doors of the cabinet, inside which there is a garbage bin, for example, which means that this place is often used in the kitchen space.
