Choosing curtains can be a daunting task as there are many types. The most important thing is to find the model that best suits your home and the style you are looking for. Discover our advice for choosing the curtains that will enhance your decoration!
Which fabric to choose?
First of all, define your needs, in order to identify the suitable type of curtain: sheers, semi-sheers or blackout curtains.
For the perfect blend of privacy and natural light, choose a cotton curtain. Cotton curtains allow full visibility without being too transparent. Stronger than cotton, polyester curtains block more light, making them perfect for your bedroom. Silk curtains, on the other hand, add elegant luxury to any room. For its part, linen brings a touch of simplicity and authenticity.
Whatever the case, think carefully about the material used when choosing your curtains, and make sure you have all the information necessary for their proper maintenance!
Choose according to your decoration
Curtains are a key element of your decoration. Whether they are flashy or minimalist, they represent you and must therefore please you above all!
The color of your walls will give you a clue about the colors to use for your curtains: if the wall is light, choose dark curtains; if it is dark, opt for light curtains.
It also depends on whether you want them to blend into the decor or, on the contrary, to become the main element of your room. For this, you can choose patterned curtains. Floral, modern, abstract, trompe l’oeil… there’s something for everyone!
Our tip: when choosing your curtains, keep a photo of your room next to you to visualize the final result.
Grommets, metal rings on each edge that slide easily over the fabric
Rings, which are better for heavier fabrics or curtains that need to stay in place. Rings are metal clips that pass through two holes in your curtain and then attach to the back of the fabric with small clips or hooks.
Gathers, which allow you to adjust the length of your curtains for different occasions. This is a fastener that goes around the fabric and folds back on itself.
To go further, decorate with accessories!
Decorating your windows or bay windows is not limited to your curtains! You can in fact add a final touch by using tiebacks, valances or even cornices!
Another very fashionable element, light garlands, to provide a soft and warm glow.
