Hello there! Fabric curtains can simply add character to any room. It will soften or brighten the room by bringing in the right amount of light depending on how you want the room to feel. There are so many types of fabrics out in the market. Even though, colors and patterns are the top most to consider, I feel a few other points are worth taking into account.
Window treatments are just not window coverings but a decor element that can very well compete the room. It could brighten up or mellow down the space. Thick materials give the upmost privacy but you could end up having a murky room. Unlike thick fabrics, sheer will let sunlight gently peek in and will brighten up the space at no cost. Linings will protect the colors and patterns and give the curtain a longer life. Finally, ready-made fabrics are limited in choice, instead you might want to consider an online fabric store that has numerous selections for you. Going custom will also let you choose the pleat style. Here are a few pleat options.
I also have a few pictures of my home. I'm in the process of changing the bedroom one's and planning to go custom. Tell me, will you go for ready-made or custom curtains?
