On entering a room the first thing you are likely to notice is the window and the kind of treatment it has been given. You just can't miss if the windows have the drapes that really fit the room or not. At times you might have wondered how tough it could have been for the householder to narrow down the choice to such beautiful set of drapes. If you are thinking about getting some blinds, curtains or drapes for yourself, read on, I can help you make your choice.
Deciding on the kind of drapes that you need is not such a big deal. You just need to bear in mind the overall style of room and the amount you are willing to spend. The amount would depend upon the size of the windows and the type of fabric you decide to have. The fabric should give the desired look to your room and then you have to look at several different styles till you hit upon that perfect style for each window.
Here are some of the different styles you could get:
Embroidered or Laced Drapes: These always look pleasant in old-fashioned kind of living rooms, as well in bedrooms. They bring around a romantic, old-fashioned sense to their surroundings. They are available in very many colors but whites or shades of white appear to be the most popular.
Sheer drapes simply give a classic look. These could be used in isolation or be paired up with other thicker drapes.
Pinch and pleated drapes are available in a range of different types of fabrics including chenille velvet and even mixed blends of cotton and polyester.
Silk drapes are frequently made from silk. Yet, you may have silk drapes that aren't made from pure silk. Some have simple cuts and are free flowing. There are silk drapes decorated with ruffles that give them a more loving look.
Over and above all those mentioned above, insulated drapes are also available. A lining makes them insulated. This lining acts as an insulator and provides warmth in winter while during summers it helps to keep away the hot sunrays from heating the house.
Lined and insulated curtains not only help us to economize on heating and cooling costs but also help to block out more sun than traditional drapes do. They have the added advantage of blocking out sound and provide you with a better sense of security. With your drapes closed you can sit next to a window without anybody knowing it, provided those are lined. That gives you a better sense of privacy and thus security.
Another feature of these lined drapes that you can't afford to ignore is that they would generally last 10 to 15 times more than those, which are not lined. So, even if the initial investment is more than an average pair of drapes, you are sure to save money in the long run.
With such an array of drapes, one has to consider a lot of factors before rushing out to the store for buying those. You have to have a clear idea of what you are looking for; keeping in mind the space you are going to cover. Once you are armed with that kind of information the going gets easier and all you are left to decide is the kind of curtain accessories you would like to have.
