Curtain Design Ideas

Design is such a creative endeavor, it’s no wonder that great new ideas emerge every day. Since there are so many designs for our homes, clothing, cars, and even the buildings we work in, the windows in our homes should be no exception. There are many curtain design ideas that can make our windows pop with excitement and vibrancy. The right layout can make a home look like a dream come true, and it’s easy to start designing yourself.

However, you should first think about how the rest of your home will go with the design. For example, if you have a Victorian home, you will most likely want to get curtains that are more Victorian in style or perhaps have designs that lean more towards the Victorian era. If you have a room that is more contemporary, perhaps minimalist designs will work for you. A simple pole could be a great start to a room that has little to no elaborate decor. Once you start with the plain pole, you can start hanging all kinds of curtains, from ruffled designs to more solid colored curtains. Rooms that are more contemporary can greatly benefit from a bit of color here or there.

You want the curtain design to complement the room rather than take it away. You’ll want to take a close look at the type of window you have. Is your window rectangular? Is it a large window? The size and shape can greatly influence the type of curtains that can be hung.

Once you’ve taken some of the above considerations into account, let your imagination run wild. Consider all the different types of fabrics, like silk or lace. Consider hand sewing your own curtains. You can use a colorfast eyeliner pen to decorate sheer curtains, or you can apply appliqués, stickers, and other shapes of fabric to enhance the plain fabric. Browse the arts and crafts store for endless inspiration.

Regardless of which design you choose, you want the design to suit both your taste and your lifestyle. However, even with that said, times are always changing.
