Change Your Space With New Curtains!

As you walk into a room, one of the first things that you are sure to notice is the window treatments and curtains. With the design of curtains that you choose to hang in your home you are making a statement to everyone who sees them. They are getting a glimpse of your personality.

Window dressings and curtains come in many different designs and sizes. Once you have decided on a feel for the room that is appealing to you, you will have a much better idea of what is needed to accomplish it. Try something subtle or make a bold statement with your curtains. Either way you are sure to be impressed.

If you really love the look of a flowing and soft window treatment, try a sheer look. Hang a long curtain rod that has great detail on the endings over your window. Use a long scarf to drape over the rod and it will look stunning.

The trick to using a scarf is to make the look of the scarf be not just perfect. Sheer scarves are meant to look flighty and imperfect. If you hang them in a very precise way it will ruin the flowing look that you are going for.

If blinds are appealing to you then you might consider using some vertical blinds to cover your windows. The vertical blinds can be opened and closed with ease by sliding on a system of pulleys. Keep them open or closed, either way it will look great. If you want some privacy in the room you can make it happen with ease. At the same time you can open up and let in some light very easily.

Dressing up the vertical blinds can be very busy. All you will need is a beautifully designed valance to be hung over the blinds. Pick a valance that has the colors of your room or, better yet, pick a beautiful accent color to display over your blinds.

Keeping the utility bills low is a concern for many people. A good sturdy curtain can help you accomplish this fairly easily. If you pick out a heavy, white backed curtain you can use the fabric to protect your home from the heating rays of the sun during the summer and keep your home nice and cool. You can do the same during the winter and block out some of the drafts that may come with older windows.

Changing the curtains in your rooms is a very easy way to give your room a face lift. Painting the walls takes a lot of time and work. It also can be very expensive. If you decide to just change the curtains out you will see that the change that you are looking for will happen before your eyes and with ease.

As people look at the curtains in your space they will begin to form some opinions about you and your personality. They will be able to tell if you prefer simple and functional things or if you would rather go on the bolder side and display something that is out of the norm. No matter what type of curtain you chose, you are sure to find one that you love. (annie deakin)
