There are different types of curtains available in terms of colors and designs. You can choose different colored curtains in different rooms in your home or opt for the same color throughout your home to create a matched, uniform look. If you’re opting for different designs of curtains for each room, we recommend sticking to a single color palette to create a cohesive look. You could opt for maroon curtains that block light in your bedrooms and a printed curtain in a similar color in your living room. White curtains are a no-brainer choice for most homes as they pair well with any kind of interior décor. White blackout curtains are also available for those who wish to use white curtains in their bedroom. Light blocking curtains or blackout curtains are often preferred in bedrooms as they help keep the sunlight out even if you wish to take a quick nap during the day. White curtains for living room gives an open, bright and airy aura to the space that help create an almost calming feeling in the room and white blackout curtains in the bedroom also has a similar effect.

- Material of the curtain

The fabric that the curtain is made of plays a major role in the overall look of the curtains and the room it adorns. With choices like sheer lace, lightweight cotton, brocades, velvet, polyester curtains as well as a host of other blended fabrics and curtains without lining and with lining too. Polyester curtains are easier to clean than cotton curtains but are not recommended for use in kitchens as they easily absorb odors. Your curtain fabric choice should depend on the amount of sunlight you want streaming in and the overall aesthetic of your room. Curtains without lining may be less opaque and have less light blocking ability than curtains with lining. You can also opt for layered curtains – one sheer and one opaque that’ll allow you to choose the amount of privacy and sunlight you want streaming in. If your home décor is minimalistic, then sheer fabrics are a perfect fit. If you prefer a more luxurious and extravagant look, velvet or brocade fabrics with stunning design detailing may be the best choice for you.

Ready-made curtains usually feature an eyelet design that can be mounted on curtain rods. For your living room, you can opt for a double layered look using two curtain rods.

- The color scheme in your home: Curtains are available in solid colors, embossing, prints and patterns. In terms of designs, the choices are many. However, when choosing curtains for your home, especially your living room, where first impressions are made, you should always choose colors and prints that complement the décor of your room. For example, if your sofa upholstery is in a solid maroon shade, you can opt for a similar maroon shade with subtle prints or patterns for your curtains.

- The material of the curtain: The material of the curtain determines how it will fall against the window. Heavier fabrics like velvet will look different when hung up than lighter fabrics like linen. Choose the fabric according to the kind of look you want to create.

2) What curtains are in trends?

The most basic rule of thumb when choosing curtains is that it should complement the color of the walls, the furniture and successfully combine with all the interior textiles and décor items in a home. The curtain trend this year works around the same principle. There is a major draw towards the minimalistic style and a desire for practicality when it comes to interior décor including curtains. Scandinavian interiors with curtains in neutral tones like beige, brown, neo-mint green, blue, white, black and graphite is being used to refresh room interiors.

In terms of fabrics, blended fabrics are much sought after. Blended fabrics are a combination of natural and synthetic fibers that are available in a host of stunning designs that are practical, easy to clean and comes with additional benefits like antibacterial and fire retardant properties. Blackout curtains, multi layered curtain styles and the combination of sheer curtain fabrics like tulle, veil or organza with blackout curtains are also trending in curtains this season.

3) Should curtains be lighter or darker than walls?

Curtains should perfectly complement your walls and your home décor. If your walls are white, you can get away with using just about any color or printed or patterned curtains. Similarly, white curtains work beautifully with any wall color. If your walls are of a dark shade, it is better to choose a lighter shade of curtain and if your walls are of a light shade, you can opt for a darker or subtly contrasting shade to create a cozy look. However, it is also important to pay attention to the furniture in the room when deciding what curtain to buy. The best thing to do is stick to a specific color palette and choose curtains and furniture within this color palette. For example, if your sofa is a solid light blue color and your walls are white, you can opt for a light blue color similar to your sofa, for your curtains. You can also choose a darker shade of blue or even go for light blue shade with subtle prints or patterns as well. Sticking to a specific color palette and introducing pops of color is also a great way to create visual interest so feel free to mix and match and play with available options to create a look that you love.

4) What curtains make a room look bigger?

To give your room an open and airy look, opt for curtains in white, tan, light grey, brightly colored or simple patterns like stripes. White curtains help open up a space as it brings in more light. Light colored curtains often blend in with the décor of your home without drawing too much attention to it, allowing your eyes to freely take in the room as a whole as opposed to just one feature in the room. Colors that reflect light, like light colors help create the illusion of more space. If you wish to opt for patterned or printed curtains, be sure to opt for subtle prints. Bold prints may make the room appear smaller than it is. To create the illusion of high ceilings, choose curtains with thin vertical lines in pastel shades.

5) Should curtains be longer than window?

Hanging curtains seem like a fairly easy task but there are certain points you should keep in mind to ensure your curtains add to the look of your room and not take away from it.

- The placement of the rods: Your curtain rods should ideally extend a few inches past the edge of your window on both sides and should be mounted several inches above the top of your window in order to create the illusion of a high ceiling and more space.

- The length of the curtains: For French windows, hang your curtains in such a way that the bottom gently brushes the ground. For regular windows located in kitchens, you can hang curtains in such a way that it ends right at the window sill. For windows located in other areas in your home like your bedroom, you can hang the curtains about 4 inches below the window sill.

6) What is the best colour for bedroom curtains?

As the bedroom is the place you will be retiring in for the night, it is important to create a cozy, relaxing space. It is therefore best to opt for curtains in soothing, peaceful colors like light green, blue or pink in a bedroom. Avoid bold, distracting prints in loud colors as it can be too overpowering for the space. It is also important to remember that the color scheme and décor of the rest of room should also be factored in when choosing curtains. It is also a great idea to subtly match your curtain to your bedding. However, avoid using the same material and pattern for your curtain and bedding; instead opt for bedding and curtains in a similar color palette.
