All you have to do to is complementing your interior with other trendy accessories…

As always, the top interior designers of the world do not share a single point of view on the top trends this year; however, we have collected the most popular trends they do agree on.

Industrial style is no longer in vogue

Industrial lamps, chairs, tables and other home accessories are out of style in 2019. We have been enamored with this trend for a while now, but it is time to move on. Say no to industrial style in your home, if you want to keep up with the trends.

.

Yes to a combination of styles! No to a single style!

If you want to decorate your home in a single style, you probably won't earn the praise of the interior designers. On the other hand, if you mix several styles, your home will be considered stylish and fashionable for at least another few years. Popular styles that don't go out of fashion so quickly is the American contemporary, Scandinavian and Art Deco. By combining these styles with, say, elements of the 50s or the 60s, you will be right on point; however, if you fill your home with elements from a single period, it will remind more of a museum than a home.

Say yes to a mixed style for curtains and blinds! They’re also an outstanding element that should be incorporated into any modern and functional design. Of course, in 2019 more than ever the trend is to stick to natural fabrics and use metal, wood and other environmentally friendly materials instead of plastic..

Yes to colour!

Away with entirely white, sad grey or doleful beige interiors. Our generation and this era are extremely quick-paced and intense. We need some colour to make us happy. In this respect, the world's top decorators agree. They recommend introducing modern, abstract elements, traditional values, floral patterns and anything that brings joy and positivity in your home.

When choosing curtains and blinds, you can afford to be creative and original, since the choice of fabrics, textures and colours keeps getting broader..

.

Yes to the dining room!

A trend that probably will never go out of style. All homes should have a dining room or at least a family dining table. It must be big enough to bring together the entire family to enjoy a meal  - not only on festive occasions but every day. Today's accelerated lifestyle calls for moments to talk about the day with our loved ones or enjoy the meal in a comfortable silence..

.

No to glitter and sparkle!

Glitter and sparkle is a thing of the past! It is time to return to real values! Natural materials, soft and comfy things, handicrafts, wood, stone and other elements made from natural materials with real texture and a story..

Africa in your home!

Not so long ago the African wax print became a popular trend in fashion. Now elements of African art are ready to become an interior design trend. Are you or any of your friends going on a trip to Africa? Now you know that the perfect souvenir is a home accessory crafted by the local artists..

The curtains and blinds of your home and office are functional part of interior design - they protect you from bright sunlight, reflect heat or, on the contrary, they help to keep the room warm during the winter months. However, curtains accumulate dust and experts recommend thorough cleaning once a year.

Curtain cleaning

Curtains can be cleaned during any season. It depends on your cleaning habits and needs. Based on the curtain design and fabric type, suitable cleaning methods must be used.

Some curtains can be cleaned at home, for example, by machine-washing them at a suitable regime with an appropriate detergent or they can be washed by hands. However, some curtains are too large to fit in the washing machine, while others require special detergents or techniques to prevent damage during washing.

Thick curtain cleaning

Thick curtain cleaning is a quite complex process, as depending on the previous cleaning or their hanging location they must be first cleaned from dust. The curtains must be carefully removed, cleaned, dried and ironed and only then they can be re-attached to the curtain rails.

Cleaning of combined fabrics

Curtains made from, for example, silk fabrics must be cleaned very carefully. Silk is a very fine, yet elegant and natural material, but it is lined with another type of fabric. Thus, the cleaning must be equally appropriate and efficient for both fabrics. This applies to other types of curtains that combine two or more fabrics or other materials, for example, in their finishing. Also, when ironing such combined curtains, you may not forget that each fabric has its own properties that require different heat levels.

Tips ad tricks of curtain cleaning

Large window curtains that consist of several parts or curtains for multiple windows that look the same should be numbered before removing them to know exactly where and in what order they should be reattached.

Curtain rail cleaning and window washing

Curtain cleaning should be planned together with window, windowsill and curtain pole cleaning, as, while the curtains are removed, you can be sure that you won’t accidentally damage the curtain fabric with cleaning agents, which can leave marks of even damage the structure of the fabric.

Depending on the material of the curtain poles, the most suitable cleaning agents should be selected. For example, you should not clean metallic poles only with water. It is better to use a suitable cleaner that will leave them shiny and prevent staining.

Curtain cleaning services

How to be sure that the curtains will look like new regardless of their style or fabric? Trust an expert to remove, clean and rehang the curtains. This way there is no risk of using unsuitable cleaning agents or accidental damage during the cleaning process. In addition, you will be released from the cumbersome procedure of attaching and removing the curtains.

Suitable fabrics for patio curtains

We might be repeating ourselves, but the selection of the outdoor curtain fabric depends on the main function of the curtains. If the curtains are to keep out wind, they must be made from denser fabric. If they should protect from insects during the evening and create a gentle shade during the day, they can be made from thinner fabric. Our main recommendation is to select a resistant curtain fabric, as it will deteriorate due to variety of external factors. Also, you will probably want to wash the curtains at the end of the season.

Suitable fabrics for patio curtains 

Patio curtain colours

It always the best to choose a light fabric for patio or any outdoor curtains, as it will be less prone to fading. Thus, it will keep it’s great looks longer.

Outdoor curtain fitting

The fitting options of the patio curtains depend on the desired functionality of the curtains - will you want to open and close them frequently. The patio curtain fittings used more often are rails, decorative hooks or velcro.

Decorative cushions are a practical highlight to the interior which may completely change the design of the room. In addition, decorative cushions are an interior element that can be easily replaced bringing something fresh into the room design.

Basis - high quality cushion

The first task is to purchase high-quality cushions, which won’t lose their shape after a few months of use.

Silicone pellet cushions are the most reliable as decorative cushions - they won’t lose their shape, won’t collect dust mites, they are easily washable and will look great after washing.

Traditional feather-stuffed cushions are also great and will suit those who prefer natural cushion stuffing materials. These cushions only require an occasional fluff and they will return to their initial perfect shape.

Bamboo fibre cushions - this natural material will excellently keep the shape and the look of the decorative cushions .

Woll stuffed cushions are another excellent choice, as they have a very long life, but for thouse who suffer from allergies it is better to keep away from them.

There is no one magic formula. As always, quality cushions will be more expensive, serve you longer and better, while the cheaper options will lose their shape and will require replacement sooner.

Decorative cushions according to season

Just as the nature changes, your home can completely change its atmosphere with the change of the seasons. Imagine - you can simply switch the covers of your high-quality cushions and the interior and mood of your home will instantly change. In winter, you may want calmer hues that will look lovely in the candlelight, creating a romantic, warm and cozy mood. While the summer can enter your home with mischievous resilience, bright colours or, on the contrary, light pastels of a summery meadow.

For this to happen, all you need is to purchase high quality cushions and purchase, make or order decorative cushion covers with invisible closure, which will let you switch them easily to achieve a different mood and will be very practical for cleaning.

There are several ways to match the pillows to your interior.

Decorative cushions can be made from the same fabric as the curtains or the same colours can be used. Thus, it is possible to achieve a very harmonious interior of the room.

Decorative pillows in bedroom

Match the colour of the cushions, but not the patterns

Select one basic shade of the cushion and match fabrics of different textures and patterns. Thus, you will achieve a great overall harmony with a little playfulness.

For example, you can choose the brown and beige colours and match the fabrics in these colours, but different patterns - plaid, stripes or polka dots, or floral motifs in these colours.

Select all leader of all cushions

Choose an expressive leader among your cushions, for example, with special fabric or colours, and only then match the colours of other cushions. These cushions may be single colour or multicoloured, but the key is to create the background for your leader.

It is not that easy to say right away how much quality curtains will cost. When you order curtains, just like when making any other order with a wide range of options and solutions, there are too many variables.

What constitutes the price of curtains

One of the variables, of course, is the type and the size of the window. The larger the window, the more fabric and labour is required, accordingly, the costs and the price of the curtains will be higher.

Curtain costs are also affected by the fixtures - the length and type of the curtain poles or rails - and, of course, the fabric. We offer over 200 different fabrics to choose from - traditional and exclusive. In addition, it is also necessary to calculate how much of the selected fabric will be required and whether you will need curtain accessories and lining. The final variable is the cost of sewing and installation of the curtains.

Even selecting one curtain design, but different curtain fabrics or poles, the price can vary considerably.

To find out the exact price of the curtains, order curtain design

Ordering curtain design - this is the first step to plan a curtain that is high quality, durable and fitting to the style of the room. The consultation by the SIA “Stalve” or Aizkarudizains.lv designer in Riga costs only 20 EUR, but outside Riga the price is agreed taking into consideration additional transport costs.

Our clients from all over Latvia have ordered curtains for their home, office, as well as manors, restaurants, guest houses, hotels etc. No matter where in Latvia it is required to install new curtains: Riga, Jelgava, Daugavpils, Ventspils, Valmiera, Cesis, Jurmala - contact us to agree a designer’s consultation. We definitely will find a mutually beneficial solution.

The designer will go to your specified address, the place where you plan to install new curtains, she will take measurements and listen to your wishes and ideas, draw little sketches to agree on the overall concept and style of the curtains. After this consultation, the designer will be able to give you the preliminary total cost of the curtains. Why not the final estimate? If you conceptually agree on collaboration, another meeting will be required to look at the curtain fabrics in the room and agree on the final design of the curtain. It is quite possible that when looking at the curtain fabrics you will decide on one with a higher price or, on the contrary, you will select the cheaper option - and the designer will recalculate and give you a precise estimate including all variables - the fixtures (poles, rails), curtain fabric, accessories, style and the work invested in the manufacturing of the curtain.

What are the benefits of custom made curtains

Individually designed curtains have an array of advantages and this is the reason they generally cost more than ready-made curtains offered by curtain stores or even variety of shopping centers.

  • Your curtains will organically fit the style of your room.
  • The curtains will be of high quality.
  • They will be made exactly for your window size and they won’t require any adjustments, re-sewing etc, which requires extra care and costs.
  • An experienced curtain designer will think about the nuances you might not consider at first, for example, convenient opening of the window, curtain cleaning, the primary and the secondary functions of the curtain.
  • You won’t have to worry about putting up the curtain pole and the curtains.
  • With an appropriate choice of curtain you can visually expand the room or give it some other desired mood.
  • And, it is quite possible, that you haven’t even thought about several great combinations of curtain fabrics and styes or curtain combination with blinds to make your curtains modern, elegant and functional.

Did you know that curtains have several functions?

In addition to forming a part of the interior of your room and hiding you from the sights of passersby or neighbors, your curtains may also:

  • dampen the noise,
  • keep the warmth,
  • provide deeper sleep, if, for example, black-out curtains or thick curtains with extra lining are used,
  • protect from insects etc.
