Curtains Or Not

I am living in my second home with no carpet and no curtains and would never change. Keep in mind that when open your curtains shouldnt fall more than 2 inches inside the frame on.

Plus my Plantation Shutters with 4 slats are so versatile not to mention gorgeous.

Curtains or not. Curtains are fabric panels that are most often sold in pairs. If you love them you could run the rod 8 inches outside the window frame and use your curtain panels to frame the slider. Good room design benefits from both but decorative does not need to be curtains only.

In fact they were kind of cute just not my style. Movies always told me how bad things end when it has a peeper peeping through a bathroom window LOL. For kitchens and bathrooms where long curtains arent the best option.

If curtains arent serving a purpose like filtering light or providing privacy I think its nice to keep windows uncoveredso long as they are well made and a good scale says Jenny Brown. Short curtains to hang just below the sill are fine and much more practical in a childs bedroom. I like seeing more of the trees in.

Decorative is where you get your creative juices flowing. Before central heating became commonplace homeowners. Or if theres a big window in the bathroom or bedroom mostly.

I like the look of the window panes that were once hidden. If you want a functional drapery that will block light and provide privacy your current curtains wont provide that. Curtain Dos and Donts Dont hang the curtains too low Do hang your curtains at least a few inches above the windows Dont choose curtains that are too narrow Do choose a curtain rod thats wider than your window Dont hang the curtain rod within the window frame Do pair your curtains.

Youll find curtains in a wider variety of materials textures styles colors patterns and levels of transparency from geometric-inspired cotton. Small windows dont look good with long curtains. I like that more light comes into the room.

Long curtains are great in grand rooms with tall windows but look out of scale with a boxy window in a small room. I generally use curtains when its not a modern house. Drapes that rest right above the frame stunt the window and let in less light which can give the entire space a crowded look.

Short-length curtains have their advantages and disadvantages but from a practical standpoint they are better suited for children s rooms as you can limit sticky fingers from touching the fabric. This is the AFTER picture. Curtains offer more design possibilities.

Hang Them Right Above the Window. Youll find curtains in a wide range of widths lengths fabrics colors and patterns making them a versatile and popular choice for every room of the home even bathrooms and kitchens. These are the curtains I took down from the kitchen windows in my new house.

Dont know I dont like the idea of being able to peep at someone from a window on the street. Centuries ago curtains served a far more functional purpose than their contemporary counterparts. I think using these curtains depends on what purpose you want to serve.

No to curtains for sure. Just like the old light fixture they werent bad. You might end up with a desk or toybox in front of the window in future.

Privacy window coverings have the goal of just that providing privacy but also light control temperature control and sometimes sound absorption. Curtains are just big dust rags hanging on your walls unless you faithfully vacuum them.
