Are you looking for a simple and effective way to spruce up your living space?
Look no further than curtains!
Not only do they add style and elegance to any room, but they can also provide privacy and regulate the amount of sunlight that enters the space.
But with so many options available, it can be overwhelming to select the right one for your home. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know to choose the perfect curtains.
Step 1: Width
To achieve a wavy and richer look, double the window width when selecting your curtains. This will create a fuller appearance and add a touch of luxury to your space.
For an elevated feel, ensure that the curtains and rods extend 4-6" from each side of the window. This will create the illusion of larger windows and make your space feel more grand.
Step 2: Length
Length to the floor: If you are looking for a more crisp look you can go leveling the floor or about ½ inch off the ground. If you are up for a little romantic, relaxed touch, let your curtains kiss the floor by 1-2".
Rod Mounting: There are two ways to achieve a sophisticated look to mount the rod. First, mount the rod a minimum of 6" above the window line. Alternatively, if your ceiling is not too high, mount the rod halfway between the ceiling and the window.
And here is our selection from Project Riverhill
For our project (pictured), we selected a popular option available online from Two Pages.
Here is how we implemented this one for a cozy yet sophisticated look:
- Color: Beige White color
- Extend 4-6 inches from each side of the window
- Extend on the floor by 1-2 inches
- Mounted the curtain rod 6 inches above the window line
- Added memory train shape
You can purchase these curtains from Amazon or customize them directly from the Two Pages website.
Don't let the plethora of options intimidate you - with these simple tips, you can confidently select the perfect curtains to elevate your space. Happy decorating!
