Mention of watches using sand to measure time intervals was found in France as early as 1339. Even then, people tried to improve them, gave advice and recommendations about which filler is most suitable. Sand from sawdust of black marble, boiled nine times in wine, was considered the best.
France has become a trendsetter in many areas. All spheres of life fell under her influence. The interior of the living room was no exception. Many areas of design thought are developing in the field of arrangement and decoration of the place where most of human life takes place. But the classics remain adamant and always in demand.
What attracts both ordinary people and those who can afford more expensive furnishings in classic home decoration decisions? First of all, it is simplicity and comfort.
At first glance, such an interior may seem too austere, if not puritanical. It’s not immediately possible to connect with such a situation. After all, having come home, we, first of all, want to feel the relaxation, the warmth of the hearth.
So that our house becomes part of us, or we become part of it, we will take care of how the space will be filled. Decent furniture can create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort.
Things that remind us of the connection between the past and the future are very well combined in the interior. The perfect solution to this issue will be . And made in the "antique" style, they organically fit into our classic setting and design.
How many centuries have passed, and the hourglass does not go out of use in our lives. Their rigor and conciseness very much coincide with the classics with which we fill our house. An unexpected solution based on the shape of an hourglass can be embodied in our interior with the help of curtains.
Their advantage is also that such curtains are easy and simple to make by yourself. We need a piece of fabric the size of the width of the window plus the number of centimeters for the assemblies that we put in the curtain. Practice has shown that you can safely take two window widths as a basis. Deep folds on such a curtain will look more solid than shallow ones. Process all sides of the product according to the rules of sewing.
Sew inside the top and bottom of the curtains strips of fabric. Choose strips so that their width allows you to put a curtain on your ledge. The lower stick should not be very light in weight. This is so that the curtain fabric can straighten out under its weight. And the final point - we tighten the curtain in the middle with beautiful lace, or a beautiful fabric that will be combined with the main shade of the curtain fabric. Such a curtain will look good in the interior of the kitchen.
If the fabric is more refined and noble, then applying the same Hourglass method, the curtains will occupy a worthy place both in the living room and in the study. After all, even such a detail as the shape of curtains can change the room beyond recognition.
