Practical and aesthetic, curtains are an accessory that serves to beautify the doors and windows of a house. They complete the room's decor while preserving the privacy of its occupants. In addition to setting the mood, curtains also help to filter daylight.
To dress a living space while letting the sun slightly penetrate the room, you can opt for:
- traditional curtains;
- string curtains;
- sheers;
- window panes.
For light blocking or thermal protection, thick curtains are recommended. These guarantee total opacity. With a thermal lining, the curtain effectively ensures light, sound, and thermal insulation. Depending on the model, the lining can be detachable with Velcro.
The finishing of the curtains must adapt to the style and size of the windows or doors.
- metal rings: practical, the eyelets are easily put in place on the rod to obtain regular waves;
- fabric ties: easy to handle, the ties form around the rod for a more elegant style;
- tabs: lightweight, tab-top curtains gain in volume and allow for an airy effect.
To choose a curtain, it is necessary to take a size larger than the width of the door or window to be dressed. An overflow of 10 cm on each side is ideal for perfectly covering the surface. As for the height of the curtain, it should be measured from the hanging point down to 2 cm from the floor.
The choice of the rod is also important to bring out the style of the curtain. The curtain rod is placed directly on the window for convenience. For a light curtain, a round rod of 16 to 20 mm is recommended. Rods with a larger diameter are intended for heavy and thick curtains.
Ultimately, it is important to properly adapt the choice of curtain and its accessories to the room's decor.
