Curtains and Nets

Curtains and nets are an important part of your home furnishings – not only do they shield you from prying eyes, they also add to the beauty of every room if they are chosen correctly. Unfortunately, there are so many curtain and net choices that it can be hard to choose especially if you are doing it for the first time. If you are feeling overwhelmed here are some tips to guide you:

• It is important to choose the fabric carefully. If it is too thick it will be difficult to hold it up when curtains are drawn and if it is too light it may not fall smoothly. The best thing to do to determine whether the fabric is right is to hold at least 2 yards up and see how well it falls to the floor and how crisply it folds when drawn.

• Colour is important too – your curtains and nets not only have to match, they also have to blend in with the rest of your decor. Fortunately, good curtain vendors are happy to send you samples to try out. It is best to avoid bright colours – all curtains fade because of the sun and bright colours fade even faster.

• Length and lining are important – the best curtains fall all the way to the floor but some people prefer them to fall just below the window ledge – it is up to you to decide which look you like best.
