How to pick out the right curtains for a room?
So, you are looking for new curtains that can breathe new life to the old home decor? While you will find that many stores with expensive D Decor curtains and Bombay Dyeing curtains will carry many options, why not shop for curtain online? While curtains from both these brands are also available online, for those who want to buy their curtains on a budget, many cotton curtains in beautiful prints and more affordable floral print curtains are available at online stores. While these curtains don’t compromise on quality, they are easier on the pocket.
So if you are looking to buy your window curtains and door curtain online, here are a few things to remember always.
1.The height of the window curtain must be till the window sill or the floor. If you are buying door curtains online, measure the exact height and buy curtains that come almost to the floor. Any length in between these looks very odd and out of place. Same rule applies to even a bathroom curtain, measure the exact length or height and ensure that the curtain comes to about 5 to 10mm above the floor.
2.If your door and window curtains are all to the floor length, ensure that the width is not too much. This becomes very important in the more expensive and thicker D Decor curtains and Bombay Dyeing curtains. These brands ensure that the lining behind the curtain is thick as well, so if the width becomes too much the curtain will become difficult to draw back easily and will also exert undue pressure on the curtain rod.
3.Irrespective of whether the room has ordinary printed cotton curtains or the more expensive and lavish sheer voiles curtains, the only way to create a symmetrical and co-ordinated look is to ensure that for all the windows in the room, the curtain rod is at the exact same height. So if the main bay windows require you to put up the rod at almost ceiling height, please do the same for the small corner window as well and ensure that the height of all rods – whether for door curtains or window curtains are flushed together in the same line.
4.It is a good idea to always match the curtains with the carpets and area rugs in the room. If you have invested in an expensive area rug online, highlight its beauty by choosing door and window curtain from the same colour, though the shade can be different. For example, shaggy light blue rugs look great when paired with indigo blue floral print curtains, especially if the flooring is a light coloured tile or marble.
5.In more formal rooms like the dining or the formal sitting room, choose a more elaborate curtain design. These rooms are ideal for expensive drapes like D Decor curtains. For the informal sitting and bedroom, you can choose more colourful prints or can even mix and match curtains. A great tip is to use floral print curtains paired with plain curtains in the same colour. So, if for example the window needs 3 curtains, choose 2 beautiful floral print curtains and insert a plain curtain in a solid shade of the same colour in between.
Always remember that when choosing curtains or rugs, consistency in design and colour is what creates a symmetrical harmonious look. Choose colours and textures that blend well without standing out like a sore thumb.
