Functions of modern tulle
The time for beautiful dust collectors on windows is over. Modern beautiful tulle should not only be beautiful, but also fulfill the tasks assigned to it:
- Cover windows from prying eyes from the street;
- Diffuse too bright sunlight during the day;
- Visually expand the room and make it brighter;
- Cover unsightly risers and radiators under windows or balcony doors.
Designers are now increasingly advising against multi-layered sets consisting of tulle and curtains, and are advised to opt for just one thing.
If you need to shade a room during the day, replace classic long curtains with roller curtains, and give the decorative role to modern tulle.
Color selection
When choosing fabric for curtains, designers take into account not only the beauty of the fabric, but also how it affects a person’s emotional state or changes the proportions of the room. The main parameter here is the color and shade of the tulle. Knowing some tricks, you can choose the right tulle for windows in any room:
- Pastel colors - suitable for small or dark rooms;
- Bright - used in spacious rooms if you want to focus on the windows;
- Cold - chosen for windows facing south;
- Warm - create comfort in rooms with windows facing north.
Each color affects a person’s emotional state:
- White, beige – neutral group of colors
- Yellow-green colors – improve mood, relieve stress
- Orange, purple - stimulate the creative process
- Red – excites
- Blue – pushes apart walls, saturates with positive emotions
Any pure color in large quantities can have a negative effect, so it is better to choose muted tones - instead of red, egg or grass, take pink, soft yellow or pale green.
If white tulle hangs next to a brightly painted wall, the curtain will take on a light tint of coverage. The combination of colors is determined by the color wheel - adjacent tones are most suitable for each other.

Mesh curtains come in completely different varieties. If for the last few years coarse cotton mesh has been used, then in recent photos of new tulle products you can see the finest mesh, which forms an almost smooth fabric. It is made from cotton threads.
This curtain allows air to pass through well. In addition, you don’t need to iron it, just wring it out and hang it by the window, it will straighten up perfectly under its own weight.
Tulle materials
There are 3 main materials from which window tulle is made:
- Organza is a rigid fabric made of polyester, silk or viscose. Transmits light, repels dust, but traps air.
- Veil - made from synthetic or cotton fibers, silk. The fabric is soft and drapes well. The veil is less transparent than organza. A very thin veil is called a microveil.
- The mesh allows air and light to pass through, but collects dust.
When hanging tulle on windows, you need to take into account the need to fill the room with light and air, as well as a possible reaction to dust if you choose a mesh.
Designers recommend choosing organza to create frozen images. Lush drapery is made from a veil - this is how flying compositions are created.
