Curtains or drapes: Selecting the right window treatment


Window treatments often define the mood and style of your room. Window coverings are all about color and fabric, length and lining, and hardware. With so many designs, patterns and styles to choose from, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. However, by narrowing down your options while selecting a curtain or drape will help you make a major impact in your home décor. Here are the three things that will make your selection process much easier when picking out curtains or drapes:
  • Room theme: The curtain or drape material you select should match the design and the room theme. You should choose heavy drapes for airy rooms where more sunlight enters. To add depth to your room space and make it look more spacious, select curtains that reflect the materials and objects present in the room.
  • Length: Curtains are either attached to a rod by tabs or rings or are gathered on it. From café style to floor-length, curtains can be of any length. On the other side, drapes are pleated panels that attach to small slides on a rod. The length of the drapes makes a great impact on the room. You can hang drapes which just touch the floor for a casual look. You can even allow the drapes to puddle on the floor in luxurious folds for a more dramatic look.
  • Color and fabric: The color and fabric of the curtain or drape you choose will affect the ambiance of the room. Heavy drape material will provide intimacy and a sense of comfort by filtering the excessive rays of sun. Sheer curtains allow more sunlight to penetrate into the room and enable you to enjoy the outside view at the comfort of your room.
These quick tips will help you find the right window treatment for your home. Depending on your style preference, needs, and priority, you can make the right decision while selecting drapes or curtains.
