The right choice of curtains can add a sense of grace and sophistication to your room. They are crucial pieces of decor that can set the colour and tone of the room. From solid colours to fun prints, from sheer to opaque, and from light to ornamental, there are a host of possibilities for you to explore.

 

Some of the pointers while choosing curtains for your bedroom include the following:

  • Privacy should be a priority, and your bedroom curtains should help you maintain them.
  • The color and pattern for the curtains should blend with and accentuate the overall aesthetic of your bedroom.
  • In order to maintain the curtains, in the long run, choosing the right washing technique is important.

 

Factors to keep in mind while selecting bedroom curtains

1. Maintaining the privacy of your room

This is an essential thing to keep in mind, and you cannot compromise on your bedroom’s privacy. The quality of the curtains selected should make your room look bright and welcoming while adding a layer of privacy.  You can choose from layered curtains, hanging curtains, and blackout curtains.

 

2. Choice of the fabric

If the fabric of the curtain is heavy, you may have a hard time fixing and maintaining it; on the other hand, if it’s too light, it can fall off easily. To test the fabric’s holding power, hold up a sample of it up to a window.

You can try rolling up the fabric in the form of an accordion and see how it falls, to check whether you have the right kind of fabric.

3. Choice of colour for bedroom curtains

One of the most suitable ways to pick curtain colours is to match it with the bedroom surroundings. You can create a cohesive look, and coordinate your bedroom’s aesthetic with the curtains if you choose the right colour. If your walls, bedding, and objects in the room have a vivid colour, it is best to choose curtains with a neutral tone. The opposite can be done if the bedroom and walls have a neutral shade.

 

4. The best length for the curtain

The length of the curtain will depend on the size of your bedroom window, as well as the decor. There are three types of curtain lengths; which include apron, puddle, and floor. In case you open your windows frequently, apron curtain lengths are more suitable. The apron length curtains measure 84 inches and are ideal for preventing dust and dirt from accumulating on the floor.

The floor-length curtains typically measure 96 inches and make it possible for you to hang the curtain rod a bit higher than the window. By using such curtains, you get the chance to give your ceiling a taller appearance.

In the case of puddle length curtains, they measure up to 108 inches and are ideal for a master bedroom with no pets, or children.
