Tulle selection rules:

1. Tulle and curtains in the interior should be contrasting or complement each other, differing in shades. If there is a pattern on the curtains, then the tulle should repeat it, or remain neutral;
2. It should be matched to the style and color of the interior, taking into account whether the emphasis will be on the window, or it will become the background for other interior items;
3. If there is no reference to a specific interior style, then tulle of neutral beige and white shades without an eye-catching pattern will be a win-win choice;
4. When sewing individually, you need to take into account the peculiarity of the fabric, its shrinkage during the sewing process, and then washing, it is best to select the curtains from the photo;
5. When choosing natural tulle, remember that fabric with the addition of polyester wrinkles less. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the material is impregnated with a special antistatic and dirt-repellent agent, especially if the textiles will be used in the kitchen.
