Choosing the Right Curtain for Your Space
Curtains do more than block out the sun. The right curtain can make a room feel larger, warmer, more intimate, or more professional and the wrong fabric or style can break the style of the room. Here’s how to choose wisely.
START WITH THE QUESTION?
Before you fall in love with a fabric, ask yourself what the curtain needs to do.
Is this room about privacy?
Light control?
Acoustics?
A bedroom curtain serves a different purpose than one in an open-plan office. Getting clear on question before budgeting will help you make a more informed choice.
UNDERSTAND YOUR FABRIC OPTIONS
Sheer fabrics let in soft, diffused light and create an airy, open feel.
Whereas Blackout fabrics are ideal for bedrooms and media rooms.
Linen and cotton blends bring texture and warmth without feeling heavy.
Velvet and brocade add formality and richness.
Your choice of fabric sets the entire tone of the room.
GET THE MEASUREMENTS RIGHT
One of the most common mistakes homeowners make is hanging curtains too short or too narrow. For maximum luxury, hang your rod as close to the ceiling as possible, and allow the curtain to extend at least 15–20cm beyond each side of the window frame.
Length matters too floor-length curtains almost always look more polished than those that stop mid-wall.
