Curtain School – Five Tips About Curtains!
With almost 40 years in the industry, we at My Window can confidently say we know curtains. In this curtain school, we share our knowledge! Here are five of our best tips.
My Window’s Curtain School
1. Why decorate with curtains?
Most people who have read our inspirational articles know that curtains create a very cozy feeling throughout the room. But curtains are so much more than just a decorative detail. They are a way to express your personality, a way to welcome spring, and a way for you to sleep better. The function of curtains is simply incredibly multifaceted. Choose a patterned velvet curtain with blackout in the understated bedroom, or hang curtains in two different textures, on separate rails, to make your home look just like in interior magazines.
2. Varieties of materials
Many primarily think about which color to choose for their curtains. This is, of course, something that makes the curtain stand out or blend in, but we at My Window want to advocate for the choice of material. Curtain fabrics come in all sorts of qualities and designs, from flowing linen and impressive velvet to sheer voiles and natural wool. Choosing the right fabric is, in our opinion, just as important as choosing the right color.
3. Curtain School’s Color Curiosity
The experts atMy Window are unanimous: feel free to choose a color for your curtains. It creates a nice overall look in a room and can also affect our mood. Of course, there is no definitive answer to what the best curtain color is. However, we can find out what the best curtain color is for a specific room in your home or workplace. There are indeed colors that have a more positive impact on us than others, and colors that make us feel calmer than others.
