Classy Or Clumsy? What Your Curtain Drapes Imply

If you want to liven up you living space, you might want to consider placing curtain drapes. Aside from adding to the décor and style of your home, it also adds privacy if you are living in an apartment or neighborhood. Sunlight or Night time light is also blocked when using curtains, improving sleep and reducing damage caused by prolonged sun exposure on furniture.

When choosing what type of would fit your home, think first of what it is for. 

1. For Privacy-use heavy curtains that would be able to totally cover your window when needed. 

2. To block sunlight-use curtains lined with blackout material. You can also just use your favorite curtains and just buy blackout liners separately.

3. Décor- you can buy or make drapes while still retaining the natural light for the room. Sheer or very light ones are good options.

Curtain drapes are not solely for windows, they can also be used to hide missing closet doors, divide a room into small parts and even be a dressing room. If you are aiming for a more sophisticated look for your living area, opt for longer curtains. The longer a curtain is the dressier and more dignified it looks. Shorter curtains give the impression of a casual, informal mood. 

For formal rooms, the curtain drapes should just touch the floor. A romantic room should have an extra long length for the curtains that pool on the floor. Do not hang curtains that just stop short of the floor, it would look awkward and weird, if you can, lower the curtains so that it would reach the floor.
