Choose the Right Curtains for your Rooms

Curtains are very significant fixtures for our homes. They can change the vibe of a room. Curtains can regulate sunlight and prevent all kinds of discomfort. The natural shade that is allowed through the material of the curtains makes the room lighten up like no other. It highlights the features of your home and keeps your room cooler than outside temperatures. If you live in a dust-prone zone, curtains can gather all the dust. This prevents any extra hassle. Curtains also give you privacy and keep prying eyes away.

Room Curtains

Things to Consider:

If you live in a small space, a subtle or plain pattern adds some texture to your room. Black-out or layered curtains are also great choices for your bedroom. The visual impact that you get with solid colors or prints is quite impressive. Lockouts are those varieties of curtains that can decrease your reliance on the heat. Your furniture is duly protected from sun damage as well. Curtains are typically warmer when compared to blinds. They create a welcome ambience.

If you are a lover of aesthetics, you will find your refuge in the right kinds of curtain designs. The exposure to natural light can be balanced, faded or increased depending on your mood. The color schemes and selected themes must be selected according to the colors of your room. Self-prints and neutral tones are best for tropical weather conditions. Bold outlines can create a dramatic effect. It can become a statement piece that defines your personality at home. Airy spaces demand linen and cotton. Heavier fabrics like velvet and suede block out light completely and bring a formal look to your personal space.

For curtains used in washrooms, you must determine the right composition of the fabric. Since the material will retain a lot of moisture, linen would not be a desirable choice since it can grow mould. Washable fabrics made of synthetic materials are best for washrooms. Use samples of the fabric in case you are unable to come to a decision.

The curtain rods must be gilded and opulent. The overall style must be in sync with your room. The height of the floor to the rod must be measured before the curtains are hung. The space in between must be determined then and there. Also, calculate the breadth of the window and how wide the curtains should be.

Kinds of Curtains:

• Box Pleated Curtains: These varieties showcase a tailored look and drape down the full length with deep folds. The lining up of the curtains creates a formal look. Whether it is your study, dining room or lounge, box pleated curtains are always a good choice.
• Rod Pocket Curtains: Lightweight fabrics and nets often use a plain cased heading, which is kept open at both ends at the top. The curtain rod gap in this variety is extremely tight fitting. Thus, this is preferred for those rooms which will not demand frequent handling of the curtains.
• Pinch Pleated Curtains: This kind gives a distinct decorative finish which is great for standard gatherings. There are several types of pinch pleats like one, two, three, four and five finger pleats. Many prefer the volume of the pleats. Thus, the value of the curtains increases with the amount of fabric.
• Eyelet Curtains - Fabrics which are light to medium weight can be used to make eyelet curtains. The rod goes through silver rings at the top and the curtain hangs up very easily. The maintenance of this variety is effortless and is a very trendy option for kids’ bedrooms.
