Features of triple curtains
Multilayer drapes or curtains made of three panels (or three types of fabric) can be classified as an aristocratic way of decorating windows. Recently, single-layer curtains with lambrequins have become less popular and increasingly, Salon designers are advising the use of combined, multi-layer textile products in classic interiors. Such decoration variations look luxurious and presentable, and can adequately decorate any sophisticated interior of a living room, hall or bedroom.
Advantages of triple (three-layer) drapes or curtains:
- The ability to change the degree of room lighting to the required extent;
- Quick change of window decoration. A variety of design solutions can be obtained due to differences in color and texture of the canvas in combination. In the morning, for example, you can gather up some curtains and “show” others. In the evening you can change the order.
Triple curtains can be made from different decorative elements: curtains, lambrequins, drapes, curtains. More often there are combinations of two curtains of different colors or textures and tulle, organza or mesh. Curtains can change the order of their arrangement. In some cases, a lambrequin can serve as an additional decor.

Creating a multi-layer composition
Before hanging curtains, you need to determine what the curtain composition will be. It can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.
A symmetrical composition is more universal and classic. It is ideal for discreet interiors. To make the symmetrical decor look more original, several curtains are used in combination with tulle when decorating the window.
An asymmetrical composition is more difficult to implement, because requires a more responsible approach. When creating it, you should remember that the asymmetry of the curtain composition gives dynamism to the entire interior. Therefore, the main thing is not to overdo it.
Asymmetry can be achieved in several ways:
- Hang curtains on only one side of the window.
- Hang canvases of different lengths.

Installation Rules
Curtains are a necessary element in a complete interior. To make them look attractive, you must follow the following rules:
- Always focus on space. The window must be visually extended. Lambrequins are used only when the ceiling height is at least 3 m. Otherwise, decorative cornices are used and installed close to the ceiling.
- Curtains should not be short. They either strictly reach the floor or lie on it (up to 10 cm is allowed). The length of the tulle is equal to the length of the curtains.
- You can't skimp on tailoring. Professionals know how to beautifully drape fabric and what gather factor to use in this case. Craftsmen will carefully process the bottom of the curtain, and the stitched seams will be skillfully hidden in the drapery.
Multi-layer curtains should be long.
The cornice is selected based on the size of the window, the texture of the canvas and in accordance with the style of the room. A string cornice made of metal or plastic will fit well into minimalism and hi-tech. Provence and country require wooden or forged structures. For a classic style, baguette cornices are suitable.
There are different ways to attach curtains. Clip-on clips are common; they are used for light curtains. The clips are different, but crocodile clips hold better than others. Hooks that cling to loops on curtains are more reliable. You can hang curtains using a drawstring. With this method, the upper part of the fabric must be folded and stitched, and the cornice must be threaded inside. You can also secure the curtains with tapes.

How to take measurements correctly
Making Roman blinds at home is not that difficult; the main thing is to choose the right material and take accurate measurements. The measurements also affect the amount of fabric needed. So, the frames can be installed both inside the opening and on the wall above the window. We measure the height and width of the window where the curtains will hang and add 5-7 cm to the sides, and about 10 cm at the top and bottom to fix the weighting material.
In order for the folds to be even and the distance between them to be the same, you need to calculate it correctly. To do this, use the approximate calculation table. We determine the number of folds by eye, divide the height of the curtain by their number and get the distance between them, it should be no more than 30 cm.
