Store Bought Curtains 101















Here's the scoop:
  • Don't buy tab-top curtains. They are less full looking than the others.
  • Buy curtains with a white lining or backing. This will help them keep an even looking color when the sunlight shines through the window, and also look much better from the outside of your house.
  • If you are actually using the curtains for light control, try to layer them if budget allows. Meaning, buy hardware with double rods, and put sheers behind the decorative panels. This will give you the ability to use the sheers for soft light during the day and privacy with the thicker panels at night.
  • Unless you are going modern, buy the thickest rods available. This will give your window a more professionally done apprearance and they will become a great design feature in the room. Make sure that the panels that you buy will slide over the rod, unless you are using sliding drapery rings.
  • If you are still unsure of what colors and types of panels to buy, call a Decorator for a consultation to direct you of what to purchase. It will save you time and money!
