Choosing the right curtains is very utmost to ensure that the decoration in the house looks more attractive. The right curtain pattern and fabric will add style to the interior decoration of the home and also create a sense of comfort and calm.

1. Make Sure the Curtain Measurements are Measured Correctly

While looking for curtains, make sure the measurements are taken in the correct way. There are still many people who don't know the most accurate measurements so that the hanging curtains hang beautifully and neatly. The curtains chosen should not be too short so as to create a very noticeable gap between the floor and the bottom part of the curtain.

The best design is that the length is just above the floor surface and not too long until it reaches the floor.

2. Appropriate Colour Choice

The choice of curtain color is influenced by the tone of the walls and the space of the home.

Pastel Colour

For the living room, choose a pastel color such as beige because it is safer to style with any type of decoration, furniture and other details in your home. Pastel colors can also enhance the tie to make it look more harmonious, exclusive and elegant.

Dark Colour

Avoid using dark colors such as brown and black if you live in a modest or small house. This will make your living room look narrower. On the other hand, dark curtain colors are very suitable for spacious area because dark colors such as dark gray or black are more effective in decorating modern home. At the same time, dark coloured curtains are also usually more effective in blocking sunlight so that your home is cooler during the day.

Vibrant Colour

The use of bright / vibrant colors can also give a different appeal if you are good in choosing colors that match the interior decoration and furniture. Bright colors such as Turquoise are always the best choice in brightening up the home, and at the same time, not too 'excessive' because turquoise is considered a moderate tone (not too bright & not too dark).

3. Curtain Thickness According to Home's Suitability

Each curtain thickness available in the market is designed according to the suitability of the home. The type of curtain fabric thickness is not only designed depending on the accuracy of the home's interior decoration concept, but you should also identify whether the living space receives enough sunlight or not. If the position of your house cannot receive enough sunlight, then the selection of thin curtains such as sheer curtains or semi blackout curtains are more suitable.

While blackout or dark-coloured curtains are suitable for larger houses that receive a lot of outside light.

4. Choosing Plain or Patterned Curtains

Today's patterned curtains have a variety of interesting designs ranging from the most classic floral prints to trendy prints inspired by geometric shapes, stripes or polka dots. The selection of patterned curtains is certainly more prominent but can give a personable look if you are good at matching with home decorations style. If you choose patterned curtains, you should avoid the use of wallpaper or decorations with designs that are too loaded so that the room is calmer and more balanced.

If the sofa or wallpaper already has a rich pattern, the curtains should be plain or have a embossed pattern.

5. The Importance of Curtain Rods

Curtain poles or rods are needed not only to hang curtains, but they are important in 'levelling up' your curtains so that your curtains are more attractive when judged as a whole. Therefore, the selection of curtain rods that suit the curtain design is very important. There are various choices of curtain rod materials in the market. The most popular option is the aluminum alloy type as they usually look more modern and trendy.

Wooden rod is also one of the choices that many people like because it can add a little sense of natural to the home.

As for the colour of curtain rods, the recommended colours are black, gold, white and wood colours as these colours are easier to match with most curtains and furniture in the house for a more harmonious atmosphere. In short, the use of curtain rods that are compatible with curtains can have an amazing impact on your room.

6. Wide and Short Illusions

Every house has its own window or door sizes. There are houses that have large windows but there are also those that have medium or standard size windows. Residences such as apartment units or condominiums often have a pair of windows in the middle of the wall about 8ft width. In this situation, you can fill the wall with plain color curtains and decorated with a layer of sheer curtains or blinds if you want something different. Such a simple technique can create an ordinary space that looks more grand and elegant. Simple but nice :)

7. Make Sure the Design Matches

Make sure the curtains you choose match the windows of your home. There are many different types of curtain designs in the market. A heavy and dramatic design is often suitable for large windows and around 10 feet tall. It certainly looks elegant if the room is large, spacious and has luxurious furniture and interior decoration.

But if your house is medium-sized or small, the use of curtains with too much of patterns can hinder the view and look 'messy'. Instead, choose plain colour curtains that are simple and suitable for the situation of your home.

8. The Curtain Chosen should Suit the Design and Interior Decoration of the House

The overall appearance of the room depends on the fit of the curtains. The height of the curtains also affects the view.

Short linen, limited by the lower edge of the window allows you to see the view of the sky clearly and provides peaceful environment to the room. Curtains like this are perfect for apartments, condominiums or small bedrooms.

For homes with minimal interior style and standard window or sliding door sizes, the hanging curtains should not touch the floor and have a small gap between the floor and the curtains around 1-5cm. This can make the window look more expressive against the wall background.

For comfort design, the hem of the curtains can reach the floor by 10-15cm. This design can create a comfortable atmosphere especially in the bedrooms.
