Curtains for Home Decor

In our houses there are different areas which need a curtain. In fact each and every room need a curtain depending upon the purpose. The main purpose of using curtains is to make the sunny parts of the house, dimmer and to get some privacy. But now the trend has changed and curtains are used mainly for decorating the houses. So, let us check how you can decorate different rooms of the house with suitable curtains.

Living Room: Living room is the place where we can find all the family members sitting together and having a chat. And whenever a guest arrives his first impression will be based on the decoration of our living rooms. So this room should be taken extra care to decorate. You can make it either casual, informal or trendy, it depends upon your taste. Tab style curtains give an informal decor where velvets give an elegant look for your living room. Typical fabrics used are solid cottons, chambray, denim etc.

Dining Room: Whatever length you started in your living room it should be followed in the dining room too. The curtains should have a bold and formal patterns and designs. Fabrics with little embroidery are a better option.

Bed Room: For bed room curtains, privacy is the primary factor. If there are windows in the bed room facing the road so curtains made of thick fabric are to be used to prevent the sunlight as well as the night light coming from the streets. If your room is big, select dark colors, if it is small, choose bright colors which makes your room look more spacious.

Kitchen: The first factor to follow in kitchens with respect to curtains is the safety rather than decoration. Fabrics for curtains should be chosen in such a way that they do not catch fire immediately. So for this reason cottons are best used. Color of your curtain should be in perfect agreement with the cabinet and the counters. Never choose synthetic and nylon fabrics for kitchens.

Bath Rooms: The curtains used in bathrooms are mainly shower curtains. They are also available in different materials, but the polyester and vinyl curtains are water proof and less expensive. Curtains made of fabrics like cotton and linen are elegant but they easily get wet and take much time to dry.

This is how you can choose different varieties of curtains for various rooms in your home.
