I find it\u2019s best to contemplate what look you are aiming for in your space and consider the scale and placement of the windows before moving on to budget. If your window is large, or if it requires a continuous drape, or you have very tall ceilings, I would recommend investing in custom drapery. While the price tag will be higher, you will receive a finished look that is exclusive to your space and style. Custom window treatments are always my first choice.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14385 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Krasotka\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.krasotka.biz\/Kak_vibrat_podhodyaschie_shtori_v_spalnu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Krasotka<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, ready-to-hang curtains are widely available in a pretty diverse collection of colors, textures and patterns and are more budget-friendly than custom. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/drapery-hardware\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The limitation to this style of drapery is the restricted sizing, so you will have a break in-between panels if hung as a grouping and you may find that they are too long or short for your windows.<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Be Open To Exploring Options<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14385 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Online Curtains, Tokyjiao, Kakieshtory\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinecurtains.nl\/nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Online Curtains<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tokyjiao.com\/archives\/1610\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tokyjiao<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kakieshtory.ru\/ky\/interer\/gostinaya\/portery-v-gostinuyu.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kakieshtory<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Selecting the best curtains for your style means recognizing what you are personally drawn to when it comes to home d\u00e9cor. I recommend doing a bit of virtual room hunting (Pinterest is great for this) before diving into the window treatment world. With so many options available, it\u2019s no surprise that the majority of consumers default to white curtains. While I understand that choice and love white curtains for a clean look, there are many options available for windows waiting to be utilized. I challenge you to step outside of the comfort zone and try a little color or pattern on your window. You might be surprised how variety can personalize a room and change how it feels.<\/p>\n<h4>Think About Thickness<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17715 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/4-1.jpg\" alt=\"Bali Drapery from Blindsgalore\" width=\"600\" height=\"390\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are four types of thickness to consider when curtain shopping: sheer, opaque, lined, and blackout. I find it\u2019s best to ask what the room needs. Sheer curtains are ideal for layering on top of existing blinds or shades as well as standing alone for an ethereal, soft look. The most common type of ready-to-hang curtains available on the market are opaque and are excellent for filtering light and providing enough privacy that only shadows are visible at night. Lined and blackout curtains are the best option for privacy, light blocking, and energy efficiency and are the preferred choice for entertainment rooms and bedrooms.<\/p>\n<h4>Start At The Top<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17715 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Bali Drapery from Blindsgalore\" width=\"600\" height=\"390\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I consider drapery headers a major factor that plays into categorizing curtains and what style of space they best compliment. With over 15 styles available, it can easily be the most overwhelming style decision made when shopping for curtains. I find the best way to approach choosing a header is to categorize your style as casual or formal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17715 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Bali Drapery from Blindsgalore\" width=\"600\" height=\"390\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Casual styles which include modern, transitional, bohemian, and rustic and are best suited to back tab and grommet finish curtains. Both of these offer a clean finish to the hang of the panel, controlling how the folds fall and are available in both ready-to-hang and custom drapery. For a more formal space, such as traditional and shabby chic, I recommend flat fold and pleated drapery which have exaggerated folds and a voluminous drape.<\/p>\n<h4>Look Out For Length<\/h4>\n<p>The final element I consider when purchasing drapery is length. There are so many ways to change the style of a room with length alone. While custom drapery will be available in almost any width and length desired, you\u2019ll find ready-to-hang curtains are limited to four or five set lengths which restrict how you hang your curtains and are usually confined to just above the window.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14385 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/7.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Yihaojiaju, BTDMTech\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/xiaoguotu.yihaojiaju.com\/r102150.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Yihaojiaju<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you are wanting something more modern or are looking to expand the visual size of a room, I recommend hanging the drapery higher above the window, either to the ceiling or at a given height in-between the window and ceiling. Another style to consider is pooling, which occurs when the remaining fabric of a panel gathers on the floor. This style of hang is best limited to rooms with restricted use or homes without children or pets and is complementary to bohemian, contemporary, and shabby chic design.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17715 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/End.jpg\" alt=\"Boutique Drapery from Blindsgalore\" width=\"600\" height=\"390\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/End.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/End-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After sharing some of the tips I utilize when selecting curtains, I feel it\u2019s best to leave this last piece of design advice. Be brave and make bold choices. Curtains can inject a lot of personality into a space to truly convey your style. Sometimes you have to make decisions that can seem scary and a bit of a risk. Take the leap and have a back-up, just in case the bold choice doesn\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n<p>You can thank me later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve all been there, wanting to change or finish up a room, but those empty windows keep us from the goal.
