How to Select Curtains or Drapes
The window can be the focal point of many rooms, so it’s important to ensure that you treat it to match your look, feel, and style. Which might mean curtains or drapes—even if you already have existing shades or blinds. At Blind Builders serving Feasterville, we love helping people determine whether curtains or drapery is for them, especially as they see they types of looks they can create. Read on to learn more!
A Variety of Looks
Curtains and drapery offer a wide variety of fabrics, patterns, and compositions that can greatly impact the way your room looks. For example:
- Café Curtains. Picture a European restaurant—did you see the curtains in the window? Those are café curtains, which cover just the bottom of a window, giving it a fun, cheeky flair. You might consider café curtains for your kitchen or a bathroom, because café curtains let a good amount of light in while also offering privacy on that lower part.
- Sheers. Sheer curtains are light and airy, which makes them work well in rooms that don’t need a lot of light or privacy control. Floor-to-ceiling sheers can elevate a room’s look, especially if the room has high ceilings and even more if your window has a phenomenal view.
- Drapery. Although many people see drapes as a more formal window fashion, the style has recently begun to grace unexpected spaces. Drapes can heighten the elegance, coziness, and feeling of luxury, while also adding softness, color, and texture. To tailor the drapery even more to your style and to add even more accent color pop, be sure to add trim.
- Layering. For a bedroom or more elegant sitting room, consider blending sheer curtains with heavier drapes, which can add depth and dimension in the room. The combo is also practical: During the day, the sheers let light in and allow some view-through, while at night, the drapes provide privacy, a feeling of coziness, and light control.
- Add a Touch of Nature. Selecting cotton or linen in neutral colors or earth tones will give the room a more natural feel. This is a great choice for modern styles, but it also works well with traditional or minimalist homes.
