Bamboo Curtain

Posts Tagged ‘Curtains’

More and more you notice homeowners opting for decorative and stylish window blinds and not adding curtains as a decorative accent to their windows. Long gone are the days when blinds where all ugly and pretty much one design. There are so many choices now, so many materials that blinds are made from, and so many styles that finding the right window blinds is easy and painless. Bamboo window shades are extremely popular.

A major difference between curtains and blinds is the upkeep required. Blinds simply need to be dusted and wiped down to remove dust and dirt. Curtains needs additional cleaning, often need to be washed. What’s more is if certain materials that curtains are made from require you to hand wash them! Who has that kind of time anymore!

When you factor in maintenance and the fact that blinds provide more much needed insulation and privacy, it is easy to see why people are jumping on the bandwagon. Installation is very straight forward as well and doesn’t require mounting hardware outside of the window box.

There are blinds made to suit all styles, shapes, and sizes of windows in your home. Some are roll up, which enables it to roll up to the top of the window by simply pulling a string. Of course, this feature is available on all styles, but some are more compact that others.

There are also horizontal and vertical styles. And there are plenty of materials from plastic, to wood, to eco friendly materials such as bamboo. Choosing the right material can make your home look more stylish than outdated window curtains!

When new furniture, such as a sofa, is purchased, it is almost always necessary to change the window treatments. Many people dread this activity; however, there are some simple steps that can be taken to choose the ultimate window treatment for your home that will be both easy to install and beautiful to look at.

Examine the room

The first thing to do is examine the room. What kind of room is it? Are there a lot of windows? Is it dark during the day? What kind of furniture is in the room? These questions can help determine the kind of window treatment that is necessary. If the room is already dark, then a lighter set of curtains might be the best option. Larger rooms can take heavier curtains. If the room is very small, then blinds might be the better option. The most important thing to remember for this step is that the window coverings should complete the look of the room, but not detract from the overall appearance of it.

Choose colours and patterns

Once you know what kind of room you have and whether a lighter or heavier window treatment will look better, then you can move on to choosing colours and patterns. Some people choose to match their curtains to a sofa that they have in the room. This is a great idea for rooms that do not contain much colour. However, if the room is papered and the sofa is a dark colour or bold pattern, then this is not such a good idea. The blinds or other coverings should not be the focal point of a room. In general, the smaller the room the smaller the window coverings should be.

Look at materials

The material of a curtain or blind can really make a difference in how a room feels. Heavy draperies can make a room feel stuffy, or in the right conditions, regal. Bamboo blinds offer a different feel than metal blinds. A light, sheer material draped over a rod can make a room feel airy and light or cold. It is always best to follow the theme of the room when choosing materials. Lighter materials often go best in airier rooms. However, this rule can be broken in some cases. Playing around with different textures will yield the best results.

Add dimension

For a professional look, add dimension to your window treatments. This can be drawing interest to the curtain rod rather than the curtains themselves. Many professional window covering installers use the technique of adding several different textures to a window. This could be using a shade or blind in the background then adding a curtain on top. Different colours and textures can help make any window look bigger, brighter, and beautiful. Different rod levels and depths will also help increase the dimensions of a window treatment.

Following these simple steps will have your windows looking beautiful and professionally done in no time.
