These days when you decide to redecorate your home you can take inspiration from the numerous interior design television programmers as well as design publications Custom made curtains.
Despite all the advice and recommendations you can take from professional designers it is ultimately your own personal taste that will dictate the look and style you go for. Small and simple changes to your home can make a huge difference and this can range from a new set of cushions to buying and fitting new carpets. There is one small change you can make to a room that can have a surprisingly dramatic effect on the room’s overall look and that is upgrading to some modern curtains. Replacing old and tired curtains with modern curtains can have several benefits.
The most obvious benefit to adding new curtains is the new look and feel they will bring to a room. When your curtains are closed they generally cover a large part of your wall space and by choosing the right modern curtains you can quickly and easily transform a room by using the curtains as a focal point. There is such a huge range of colours and designs to choose from when it comes to modern curtains and these can range from contemporary to traditional.
The type of modern curtains that you choose will also have a bearing of the way your room is designed. Take into consideration how the light filters into the room and before you make any purchases you will need to decide how much light is ideal in the room. For example, choosing light materials for curtains in your bedroom may be a decision you live to regret as light and unlined materials allow light to flow into a room and this will only be disruptive to your sleep. Remember in the summer months it stays lighter for longer and the sun rises earlier in the morning.
There are three different types of modern curtain, ring top, pencil pleat and tab-top curtains. Ring top curtains are sometimes known as eyelet curtains and have metal eyelets that are threaded onto a curtain pole. This type of curtain can only be used with a curtain pole and also make for a great decorative feature. Tab-top curtains can only be used with poles as the tabs on the curtain simple loop over the pole allowing the curtain to hang. This type of curtain is an excellent choice if you want to make a feature of your pole.
You can also choose to buy your modern curtains lined or unlined. Lined curtains help to keep out the cold and draughts and can also help to keep out the light. Having you curtains lined can also help to prevent the curtain fabric from fading and gives the curtain weight to help it hang better. Unlined curtains are cooler in the summer and easier to care for. They can also give a lighter feel to a room.
