Curtains play an important role in the home. It offers privacy, insulation and dramatically increases space. If the right curtains is chosen for your windows, they can become the focal point of your home.

1. Sheer Curtains

Sheer curtains are ideal for use anywhere in the home to offer a light and airy feeling that softens the atmosphere of the home.

During the day, some thicker sheer curtains such as Vertica sheer provide better privacy because they can prevent your house interior from direct exposure to the public. In addition, sheer curtains also serve to offer optimal sunlight entering the home.

2. Thick & Heavy Curtains

The thick and heavy curtain material makes the curtains look beautiful when hung. Curtain weight is usually calculated through gram per square meter (gsm). There are various weights of curtains on the market, the standard curtain fabric weight is usually in 200 - 250gsm, while 270 - 350gsm for heavier materials. There are also premium type of curtain fabrics that are more than 350gsm.

For standard or heavier curtain weights, the drapery fall looks neater and doesn't look like it's 'floating'.

Heavy curtains are usually thick and have a layer of black yarn in the middle layer of the curtain to act as a good light barrier and also help reduce sound and noise.

The thickness and softness of the heavy curtain fabric texture gives the illusion of luxury to your living room or room. That is why heavy and thick curtains are always the choice of home interior designers.

3. Small or Vaguely Patterned Curtains

Are you feeling bored with plain curtains without patterns in your home? In fact, you can try small or vaguely patterned curtains as an alternative to plain curtains. Embossed wave design curtains for example Diana Custom Made Curtain can ensure that the curtains do not look too stringy from a distance, and at the same time can decorate the house with its interesting patterns when observed at close range. When using subtle patterned curtains, you can use lighter colored, neutral-toned curtains to make your windows stand out, especially if your furniture or decor is soft-toned. This can highlight the small patterns on the curtains.

Choosing bright colored curtains such as Honey Gold also makes your home look attractive, spacious and more cheerful.

However, light-colored curtains are more suitable for living and dining rooms or smaller rooms. Dark curtain colors are mostly used for the purpose of creating peaceful environment and are very suitable for the bedrooms. You may opt for Neluna Semi Blackout Curtain if you are looking for curtains with design.

4.  Combine or mix and match different colours on the curtains

The combination of two colours on one curtain is one of the effective methods to increase the visual appearance of the house. This can also neutralize the colour of the curtains because it doesn't look too dark if you use only dark colored curtains, or vice versa. The combination of curtain colours is suggested to be combined from two contrasting colors to ensure its effectiveness. For example Dark Gray (dark) + Greenish Turquoise (bright) or Navy Blue (dark) + Mustard Gold (bright). Curtain colour combinations are very popular for most modern stylish homes these days.

Two-colour combination curtains occur using two methods. The first choice is a combination of contrasts that are more suitable for people who like to be creative and unique for example combine using Canola Jade Blue & Blush Pink

The second is a harmonious color combination. Two-tone curtains give space to its basic tones and help increase the height of the room. This can be done through combining 2 colours which are similar in tone for instance by combining Palora Blackout Curtain's Husk Brown & Ivory Cream.

5. Adding a Layer of Sheer Curtains

Day & Night Curtains
Day curtains are sheer curtains that are suitable for filtering excessive light during the day. In addition, day curtains are installed for many reasons such as a decorative element, for sound absorption, temperature control, or to add an element of privacy to the room. They add a layer of soft texture to your interior decor, and because of their light appearance, they won't overwhelm your interior.

To layer the curtains correctly, you need to choose the right combination of fabric, size and colour. Combining day curtains with colored curtains or blackout curtains is one of the techniques. Coloured curtains can be draped in front to attract attention.

Blackout curtains can block more light from entering a room or close it for complete privacy. By mixing coloured curtains or blackout curtains with day curtains, you get sunlight filtering into your home during the day and a dark space for a restful sleep regardless of day or night time.
