The Wonderful World Of Curtains, Blinds and Window Treatments

I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me . . .  Remember That Song?

Windows are never complete without curtains, shutters or window blinds, imagine having a window without curtains, shutters or blinds?

Don’t you feel very bare, and the room looks plain or naked? Yes, you know what I mean, you feel someone outside is watching you and that’s not a comfortable feeling at all. I think that window dressings are very important when it comes to the complete look of your room so here are some tips on how to find the best window dressings for you.

First, you have to consider the shape of the room and the deco the room has. How do you want your windows to serve its purpose? You could go with curtains if you have a large enough room or blinds or shutters for a smaller or mid size room, or even just a blind and a swag thrown across. If you are looking for something that gives privacy inside your home, then you should get blinds that are non-transparent and these can also be used with curtains. If you want your window dressings to control the lighting, a more transparent dressing like Muslin or Voiles are recommended.

Second, you have to select the material of your choice that will suit your deco. They are thousands of beautiful fabrics on the market with different prices ranging from £500.00 per metre – just £19.00 a metre depending on you taste, style and budget.

The next step would be to decide the shape of your window and the style you need to compliment your room.

Whatever window dressings you decided to have made and install on your windows, you should always keep in mind that they should make you feel comfortable, homely and provide privacy for you and your family.
