Transform your house with modern curtains

In olden days, people were not giving much importance to curtains and were using heavy drapes as curtains. But, now, people have realized that curtains can make the house more attractive. Hence, modern curtains are made with more creativity because they should blend with the decor of the house and at the same time, look simple.

Modern Curtains

Trends in curtain fabric are constantly changing, but the tricks for making them work remain the same.

Be generous with layers of sensual fabrics; for example, a silk or velvet curtain teamed with a sheer fabric backdrop. In a modern space, prevent curtains from looking heavy and old-fashioned by keeping the tops and the curtain poles simple.

Decide whether you want your curtains to fall to the window sill or to the floor. When measuring up for fabric, allow an extra 10cm for the top seam, and an additional 20cm for a double hem at the bottom to make sure the fit is perfect for your room.

If your window treatment has pleats at the top, multiply the length of the track or pole by two and a half. For tab or tie tops, measure the length of the pole or track and allow an extra 5cm on each end of the fabric for seams.

When buying curtain fabric, it is also advisable to allow extra length to cover the possibility of shrinkage during dry cleaning.

You can choose different types of curtains for different rooms. For bed rooms and reading rooms, you can choose sober-looking colors and for living room, drawing room and dining room, fabrics of attractive colors will be ideal.
