How To Choose Curtain For Your Home?

 It takes only one glance at professionally designed rooms to see how expensive custom curtains are compared to their ready-made counterparts. It's more than simply picking the suitable fabric and hoping it fits in your room. The selection of drapes that you use in your space can have many minor issues. Are they high enough for hanging correctly? Is their hanging style compatible with the architecture of your house?

These are all questions interior designers have learned to answer through trial and error or education. This makes them adept at creating custom curtains that appear much more expensive than they are. We are fortunate to have a few helpful rules that will ensure that your ready-made window treatment looks much more expensive than it is. This is how to make curtains look like a million dollars.

Privacy and Fabric

When choosing curtains fabric, consider the purpose of your window treatments. Do you need blackout curtains in the bedroom? Do you want your curtains to allow natural light through? Are you looking for privacy from your neighbors? Once you have this figured out, you can begin narrowing your options.

There are many options for linen and cotton curtains. They can be either sheer or opaque. This will allow natural light to pass through but still, provide privacy. You can double the opaque curtains with a blackout liner for complete darkness. Velvet curtains provide natural blackout.

Hardware and Hanging Style

There are many options for curtain styles. You can choose from modern grommets or tab tops to more traditional rod-pockets, rings, pleated, and ring styles. You can add height to your curtains by using ring hardware. This style can be used in any style of decorating. Grommets, tab tops, and rod-pockets are more modern and cost-saving than traditional pleated styles.

Hardware can also be available in various styles, including industrial and traditional. To add style to your window hardware, you can add accessories such as tiebacks or finials.

On Width and Length

Many people have difficulty deciding between curtain height and width. Hanging curtains above your window frames are the instinct. However, hanging them below the ceiling will make them appear taller. The rod should be a few inches wider than your window to allow open curtains to fit outside the frame. This will not block natural light and make your windows seem more significant.

Another essential thing to remember is where they should be hitting the floor when hanging curtains. They should hit the floor right where it begins. However, some prefer to pool on the ground for a romantic look. It would help if you did not hang them higher than the floor. If a radiator or other furniture is blocking their view, you might consider hanging window shades.

Difference Between Color and Pattern

Although solid curtains made from linen or velvet are timeless and classic, you can add color and pattern to your curtains if you do it right. A sheer curtain can be enhanced with a soft-toned stripe or floral pattern to add visual interest and romance. A bold pattern can be used, but only if it is the room's focal point.

Interior designers also recommend matching the curtains' color to the walls. This is especially useful for dark rooms that have heavy velvet curtains. Remember that simpler and more seamless curtains are always better when it comes to curtains.
