In terms of area, curtains take up a lot of space in the visual perception of the room. The right tone will always be in harmony with furniture, ceiling, wall, floor, lamps and decor. Curtains made of dense red fabric do not allow daylight to pass through well. They serve as an excellent barrier to shade the sun's luminous flux.

Red curtains harmonize well with black floors, red ceilings and white and brown furniture.

In addition to color, be sure to pay attention to the texture, size, shape of the fabric drapery. Thin woven fabrics will simply diffuse the rays of daylight. For curtains hung together with curtains, special curtain rods are selected. Curtains should have a different shade. Additionally, the brightness of artificial lighting sources is taken into account.

Applying red in an interior with an extremely laconic decor, you must follow the rules of moderation and restrictions. For high-tech, modern or minimalist rooms, cropped curtains with completely absent or weak draperies are sufficient. Here, simply falling red threads, pendants with decor, of which the curtain is composed, will be appropriate.
