Minimalist curtains: simple elegance for modern living

Minimalism doesn't mean "empty," but "conscious." Curtains play a key role here: they shape light, close lines into calm surfaces, and give rooms clear edges – without being loud.

Design principles: calm through reduction

• Surface before detail: Ceiling-flush rails, continuous widths, no visible end pieces.
• Tone-on-tone: Curtain color close to the wall and ceiling color. Off-white, sand, greige, misty blue with low saturation.
• Matt & structured: Subtle textures (linen look, twill), no reflections.
• Few strips: 2–4 wide panels per window wall instead of many narrow strips.

Choice of materials for clear rooms

• Voile/Inbetween: Soft daylight, ideal for the living room and home office. View collection
• Dim-out/Blackout: Smooth, matte weaves for bedrooms.
• Velvet (matte): Depth and acoustics; subtle in natural tones. Velvet

Proportion & Montage

• Ceiling-high & wall-wide: visually stretches; windows appear like an architectural incision.
• Fold allowance 2.0–2.3 times: Smooth waves – no sharp breaks.
• Ground finish: walking zones “Kiss” (just above the ground), quiet zones small “Break” (2-3 cm).

Spatial scenarios

Living room

Tone-on-tone with wall/carpet; few objects, natural materials (stone/wood). Voile inside, dim-out outside, partially closed in the evening.

bedroom

Dim-out in medium natural tones; matte headboards, off-white/greige bedding; reduce reflections.

Home Office

Glare-free light with in-between, matte surfaces on walls/desks; neatly route cables.

Care & suitability for everyday use

• Machine washable, low spin speed, hang damp.
• Remove dust with a soft brush or lint roller; shake the voile regularly.

Common errors & fixes

• Too many accents: One focus is enough – the curtain area is the stage.
• Hard contrasts: Tone-on-tone is calming; accents are placed over objects rather than large areas.
• Shiny hardware: Better hidden or brushed matte.

Measuring & Assembly Quick Guide

1. Height: Ceiling to floor (kiss/break depending on zone).
2. Width: Window opening + 15–25 cm overhang each; for wall-to-wall installation, the entire width.
3. Fold allowance: 2.0–2.3 times.
4. Rail: flush with the ceiling, concealed if possible.
