Function
Colors, designs, combinations, accessories – style considerations can swallow up much of your time. Yet function should be your foremost priority when it comes to choosing drapes.
For instance, lined curtains work great if you want to enhance your privacy or provide total darkness in a room. Unlined drapes, on the other hand, let light filter through and are wonderful for decorative purposes. If you’d like maximum durability and have room in your budget, drapes with interlining offer excellent body, light blockage, and insulation.
Depending on what you need for your home, defining the function of your drapes will limit your choices, but in a good way.
Style
Once you’ve decided on function, it’s time to have fun with style. Select drapes that complement the overall décor of your home. Want it subtle? Go for neutral patterned drapes. Those who’d like bolder aesthetics can make a strong statement with colorful, patterned varieties.
In addition, lighter materials like cotton or linen create a sunnier vibe, while heavier types like velvet or suede give off a more formal, dramatic aura.
Finally, don’t make a final decision until you’ve seen how the drapes will actually look like in your home. Ask for a swatch or piece of fabric from your potential choice, then hold it up to the space you’re planning to put it in. This way, you’ll have a realistic idea of how your drapes will look once they are finally installed.
