Fabric colour

Aside from design, curtains have a range of colours and beautiful designs that you can choose from. Colour details can be tricky, it is important to match them with the design schemes of your interior.

Cooler colours on the hand can easily be matched with any room design. Curtain colours can create an illusion of space, this is one of the most important attributes of fabric colour.

Curtain Fabric

Just like our clothing, curtains also have an array of fabrics that can be a perfect choice for the weather of your location, maintenance, and design style. It also contributes to the ambiance with light that you need inside your room.

Room darkening curtains

Black-out curtains are the recommended type to achieve a dark room. It is perfect solution for sleepless mornings. This will allow the homeowner to experience a night-like vibe even in the broad daylight.

On the Sunshine Coast, the heat can be intense due to the afternoon sun. Dark or blackout curtains are the popular styles to prevent the heat from coming inside your room, particularly with west-facing windows.

Light filtering curtains

If you desire to have natural light in the morning while maintaining the privacy of your living room or bedroom, sheer curtains or lighter fabrics are the recommended ones. They are layered inside or in between your main curtain, so you can easily switch to using them whenever you want to feel the beautiful warmth of the sun.

Lace curtains are a good material for light filtering window treatment for small windows. Sheer, cotton, and polyester materials are recommended for big windows. Neutral colors like white will provide subtle warmth to the room.

Noise reduction curtains

Curtains are not just light modulators in your room. They also serve to reduce noise and prevent it from disturbing the peaceful ambiance in your home.

Room Space

The arrangements of living space in your area are not just a factor in making a room appear to have a small, wide, or bright space. Curtains are window furnishings that can create this kind of illusion when chosen properly.

Size matters

Before purchasing curtains for your doors, bay windows, main windows, and curved or semi-circular windows, appropriate measurements should be done. Measure the height and width of your windows or doors including the ceiling height. This will ensure that they will fit into the designated area to be installed especially with wide windows.

For modern, open-plan spaces,  measure the entire area, so it can be covered properly. Outdoor living spaces should have a sturdy curtain installed since it is exposed to more deteriorating elements such as dirt and dust.

Interior design

Window coverings play a vital part in aesthetic solutions. It should complement the wall colour, floor coverings,  and key exterior features of your furnishings. Whether you are a minimalist or a maximalist, each of the elements should be combined to make an artistic feature for your home.
