If you are looking for curtains, especially for the bedroom or kitchen, then it is important to choose the right ones with their functionality in mind, or you might end up regretting your choice! Purchasing the right curtains can help save you money, time and efforts of purchase.
On the other hand, getting wrong ones can make you spend hundreds of dollars as well as spoil the decor of the room.
Here we will see some important aspects to consider while buying kitchen and bedroom curtains.
First, let us consider the bedroom curtains.
Today there is a great variety available in curtains for the bedroom including pleated, layered, sheer, or swag style etc.
that it can get a bit mind boggling.
Start by deciding what you really want; it could be a romantic or mystic atmosphere, or privacy, or you may simply want to foster feelings of relaxation in the bedroom.
Once you have made up your mind as to what you want then you can go in for colors and styles to suit the decor of the room.
The right color and shade of bedroom curtains can make or break the atmosphere of the room.
Always remember that if your bedroom is in the eastern direction, choosing darker curtains is imperative.
Many light sleepers get disturbed by the early morning streaming sun, due to the wrong shade of bedroom curtains.
As far as the material of bedroom curtains is concerned, remember that materials like silk will be subjected to fading due to the sun.
So choose materials that can be washed easily and are heavy enough to withstand daily wear and tear.
A bedroom curtain is also meant to provide privacy, so sheer curtains are naturally a strict no-no for the bedroom.
If you insist on sheers, then you may couple them with blinds or a second heavier curtain to maintain privacy.
When it comes to kitchen curtains, you have to keep in mind that the grease and grime of cooking is going to eventually affect them.
Naturally, if you choose white or light shades, you are either going to have to wash them frequently or end up with real dirty ones.
So choose a fabric that can be tossed in the washing machine every now and then, or is dark enough, so you can forgo washing them for months.
That said and done, as is the case for bedroom curtains, the right style, print and color of kitchen curtains will enhance the look and feel of your kitchen.
