Selecting the appropriate curtain for your home can be
quite a task. Different members of a family have different choices, so coming
to a unanimous decision seldom happens. But, proper planning and checking off
of certain boxes can help solve this. EXIN Magazine brings for you a couple of
ideas that would help you to figure out in selecting the best curtain for your
home
Consider the mood of the room. For a formal space,
there’s heavy silk or velvet (a great insulator); both are dry-clean only. More
practical (often washable) options include silky rayon blends and cotton
sateen. For a casual feel, there are billowy linen (generally dry-clean only)
and crinkly crushed velvet. Cotton and cotton blends work with any type of
decor and bring a crisp, neat feel, as does seasonless wool or wool blends.
You’ll need to decide if you want the curtains to blend
with the decor or to pop. For blending, pick curtains that are the same tone as
the wall but a few shades darker, or choose a non-dominant subtle color in the
room (a soft shade from the rug, say). A bold color will work like an
exclamation point (if you’re looking to add some wow). Also keep in mind that
in a space where the sun shines through unlined curtains, the color will infuse
the room.
A rule of thumb: If you have patterned furniture or
bedding (or a very elaborate rug), stick with solid curtains. If you have
solid-color furniture or bedding, consider patterned curtains. For a subtle hit
of style and energy, go for a small, neutral print, like dots or paisley, which
gives great textual view when seen from a distance. A large, graphic print in a
color that relates to the existing decor is daring but can be spectacular.
Following these above mentioned points in the process
of selecting your curtain will of course help you get a curtain which match the
personality of the home — which every member of the family can relate to.
