Curtains
June 16, 2008 9:16 am Window ShuttersContinuing with our previous discussion on natural light options with blinds and panels, let us discuss about use of curtains for windows.
First of all, do not feel that you have to eschew curtains altogether-just to avoid using much bulky fabric and too many overblown gathers which take up valuable space. Opt for long-line curtains in heavy linen or cord which contribute a sense of height and elegance, or use sheer voiles, muslins or organzas which screen the glass with a filmy layer for a touch of modern romance.
Keep headings simple by using tab-tops which are made up of fabric or leather. Use metal eyelet holes or clip-on rings that will slide on to a slim pole.
Loured shutters outline the elegant architecture of your tall windows if there are any in your house. They also act to filter the light to prevent the room color from feeling too bright or too strong depending upon if its painted with whites or strong colors.
