4 Essential Things That You Should Keep In Mind When Buying Curtains

October 14, 2020 / by Violet & Anna / Leave a Comment

When you buy fancy curtains online or offline, there are a plethora of factors to consider. From curtains design, length to fabric, and colour, you have to take care of so many aspects to make the right purchase. And these factors make the buying process perplexingly overwhelming. However, here we are explaining some crucial factors that you should consider before purchasing curtains.

  • Length and Lining

Before you even go to the design and fabric of the curtain, you should consider the length of the curtain. Check the length from the top (where you want the curtain to start) to bottom (where you want the curtain to end). The way you place your curtains can give the room an elevated appearance. To get the right length, consider the below tips:

  • Start measuring from the top, a few inches above the hooks
  • For a traditional look, end the length with curtains bundling on the floor
  • For a modern look, end at the skirting of the floor.
  • Add around four to eight inches on both sides with an extra two inches for a fuller look.
  • Curtains Design, Fabric, and Color

Once you have taken care of the length, the next thing to consider is curtains design and fabric. The right fabric would fit into space perfectly and would last for a more extended period. In case the fabric you choose is too heavy, the curtains would cover the window even when they are drawn apart. However, light fabrics are tough to keep together.

When you are selecting the curtains, see how the drapes fall. Try pleating the curtains design in an accordion and check whether they maintain its shape or spills over. Moreover, the design of the curtain you choose should also be based on the sun exposure you get in the room. If the room gets enough sunlight, choose light and pastel design. If you choose a vibrant cotton curtains design, then the material would fade faster and appear drab.

  • Tailored or Ready-made

Ready-made curtains are readily available in a wide range of curtains design and materials. These are stitches to meet standard dimensions. You can buy it and alternate it with a custom-made curtain that would prove to be reasonable. Moreover, this approach works well for modern homes.

On the other hand, tailored-made window curtains give you more benefits as opposed to ready-made curtains. You can customize the dimensions depending on the size of your doors and windows. Moreover, with this, you get more curtains, designs, and materials to cater to your style.

  • Does it Save Energy?

Choosing the design of the curtain can bring your energy-saving elements. This is imperative at places where the summers are sweltering hot, and winters are too chilly and wet. These regions need proper insulation all year round. And curtains design with heavy lining is ideal for this purpose as they reflect heat from the sunlight and help in maintaining the ideal temperature inside the house.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the design of the curtain will not only elevate the aesthetic appeal of your space but also maintain a good vibe. Above are some of the essential factors that you should not miss while choosing a curtain for the doors and windows of your house.
