Curtain
designs offer many options to the home decorator. However,
sometimes the function of the room, shape or spacing of the
window, or homeowner’s personal preferences don’t
always blend. In choosing the perfect curtain designs for
your window coverings keep in mind the style and function
of the space, what will work for each window type and then
find a style that suits your taste.
Drapery
and Curtain Design
A formal
living or dining room is the perfect location for designer
curtains or drapes in expensive, richly coloured and
textured fabrics. Flowing drapes will ad elegance to
such a formal living space. To choose the same curtain
designs for a child’s playroom would certainly
look out of place. Similarly, if you have very small
rectangular windows like those found in many ranch
style homes, then these types of draperies would be quite
overwhelming and look out of place.
An
important factor in choosing
drapery designs is the space’s
function and window type. For such a smaller, rectangular
window in a playroom, try less bold curtains or a valance
as your window coverings. You can still choose sophisticated
and even more formal patterns, without making the window
appear out of place for the room.
Your
personal preferences can be added to any type of curtain
design. If you like clean lines over ruffles
and puffs,
then pleated roman drapes can
take the place of a balloon valance. These can be found
in any colour and fabric selection to match both the
room’s furnishings,
function and your personal preferences.
Designer Curtains
You
can also find designer curtains in differing degrees
of formality and different window covering styles. So
if your personal preference is for a French country casual
look, there is a designer curtain to match. Curtain designs
for every room from the nursery to the library come in
a designer fabric and style. The real difference between
designer curtains and
the less expensive, mass marketed types are that designers
focus on the little touches such as trims and embellishments
in all of their curtain designs.
