How to choose stylish curtains and not miss: 5 common mistakes.

+5 quick solutions to the problem

Beautiful curtains are one of the main attributes of any home. In addition to aesthetics, they must also perform other functions that make life much easier.

So how to choose stylish curtains and not miss? Let’s look at the five most important mistakes and five quick solutions to the problem.

Error 1: incorrect width

Often, when choosing curtains, we rely only on the width of the wall, but do not pay attention to folds that reduce the parameters of the material.

As a result, the curtains do not touch in the middle of the window and light penetrates into the room even during sleep.

Error 2: Incorrect Density

Due to the insufficient density of the curtains, the curtains will not be able to block sunlight, and an overly thick fabric will create a depressing twilight in the room.

How to fix:

  1. If the room faces the shady side, then you should choose curtains made of lightweight materials such as organza, viscose and silk. Today the trend is fine cotton and linen in natural shades. Types of fabric such as tulle, Roman shades and pleated shades can be hung without the use of thick curtains.
  2. If the room still faces the sunny side, then you will need blackout curtains that do not let in any light at all.
  3. You can also kill two birds with one stone and purchase ready-made Day-Night roller blinds – they will provide excellent protection from the sun.

Mistake 3: Wrong Length

If you calculate the length of the curtains according to the height of the window, then when hanging it will turn out that the fabric is shorter than necessary. If you take it with a reserve, then the curtains will spread across the floor.

In everyday life, this option is not entirely appropriate, because… You will have to regularly straighten folds and remove dust and pet hair.

How to fix:

  1. To the window sill – in order to easily move the curtain, its lower edge should be located 1 cm above the window sill.
  2. Below the window sill – the fabric will look neater if it falls from the window sill only 10-15 cm.
  3. Floor – for curtains to last longer, they should end 1 cm above floor level.

Mistake 4: Full-wall curtains

If the curtains cover the entire wall, they begin to merge with it. A clear boundary between the fabric and the wall will look more visually harmonious.

How to fix:

It is best to choose curtains and tulle slightly larger than the width of the window, while wide curtains are suitable for panoramic windows.

Mistake 5: Tulle Everywhere

Typically, windows are decorated with tulle in the center and two curtains on the sides. This is fraught with costs for fabric and the need for washing, since tulle absorbs dirt and wears out faster. In addition, the heat transfer from the battery changes if it is blocked by curtains.

In a strong wind, light tulle will flutter not only inside the room, but also outside, which can also cause inconvenience.

How to fix:

  1. In principle, it is not necessary to use tulle – then the room will become lighter, airier and less dusty.
  2. Instead of tulle, you can purchase Roman or roller blinds – both for independent use and in conjunction with curtains.
