How to choose curtains that will suit your windows?
06. 08. 2020
Curtains frame the window and complete the whole room. We will tell you what to choose, so that they can sit next to you at home . You won't miss a dose of inspiration this time either - we will be happy to recommend you which curtains or fabrics for sewing them our customers liked the most.
Curtains are not just decorations, but fulfill a number of functions - they dampen noise and light from outside. They prevent someone from looking out the windows if you live on the ground floor or have a sidewalk around the windows of the house. Don't underestimate their choice and choose curtains that will look beautiful and also serve great .
We conjure with colors. Which are currently on the course and how to optically enlarge the room?
When choosing the colors of the curtains, keep in mind what the rest of the room looks like , so that the patterns do not interfere with each other and the room does not look overpriced. It works great when you match the color with a sofa, carpet, or bedding. You can control which side the room is oriented to, where you hang the curtain. For the rooms to the north, we choose rather warm and pastel colors. In the rooms to the south, cold tones stand out, calmly darker colors. The room is enlarged by bright and airy curtains - it brightens it optically. How about a luxury fabric from the German company Gerster in white?
And how do you see trends? The painting company Pantone always announces the color of the year in January. For this year , the main color is dark blue, such as our one-color fabric Liso . Also popular are light pink and blue (so-called baby pink, as in the case of the Laos curtain , and baby blue - such as the Rocco curtain ), or green. According to Dulux, the trend for 2020 is mint gray.

We choose the right fabric for curtains
There is no doubt that it is important to use a quality fabric for the curtains. But which one? There are several options:
a curtain that will effectively dim the light - choose shading blackout fabrics (ensure complete darkness, great for sleeping during the day after night), or dimout fabrics (create a pleasant twilight).
The curtains can be made of both polyester and natural materials (especially cotton, linen or silk). Especially popular for the production of curtains are tapestry fabrics , which are heavier and blend elegantly. If you love Provence style and lavender, don't miss Lavender Seeds Garden . The floral fabric also looks perfect pastel flowers . Children will be thrilled by the fabric with cute birds and thanks to its blackout ability, they will sleep better.

Thorough measurement is the basis for selecting hinges
Surely you can already imagine pulling the new curtains and immersing yourself in a peaceful sleep. Don't get carried away and don't forget to find out what size you will need before ordering . The ideal case is when you already have a curtain at home and sits well on the window - it will be enough to find out its size. The following figure will help you with this.
If you don't have a hinge yet, the choice of dimensions depends on the type of pleats and the solution of the upper hem - for a long time now, not only the traditional suspension for "flip-flops" has been used. Take a look at all the options for pleating curtains , you will find something to think about when choosing a size.
For height, measure the distance from the top edge of the cornice to the floor (if you want a curtain long to the ground). Do you have an uneven floor? Better buy a 1-2 cm longer hinge, it will optically align it for you. Follow the rule that it is always easier to shorten. The width of the window is usually taken into account for the effective pleating of the curtains. If you are unsure about the dimensions, do not hesitate to contact us.
Do you get ready-made ones, will you make them yourself, or will you order custom-made curtains ?
It's up to you how you get the new curtains. Take a look at our offer of ready-made curtains , where you will find a whole range of stylish variants. If the choice does not suit you, or you require an atypical size, just buy a fabric for curtains and sew them yourself .
Don't you want to sew? Never mind, we'll do it for you. Order tailor -made curtains - you can choose any fabric, size, type of upper hem (edging, creasing tape, loops, or hidden loops, or tunnel) and other parameters, and in a few days you will have beautiful new curtains at home .
