Things to Consider When Choosing Curtains in Perth Before choosing the correct fabric for you room it is best to think about the position of the sun. North facing rooms can be dark & icy. Choosing white for the walls will lighten the general effect but won't enhance the room. Light, warm shades are the best colours to select, such as buttermilk, soft yellow, pale terracotta etc. This gives a light but warm effect. Fabrics in sunny windows will fade so using silks in rich colours are not advisable. Try not to pick strong, plain dark colours in case you have painted your room in a light shade. The contrast will be great and harsh. It would be better to pick a patterned fabric with hints of darker colours. In case you pick a silk or taffeta fabric, interlining will also generate the best effect.

Make positive also that you pick the fabric that has the right scale to your window. Small designs, checks and stripes work well on a small window. Also textured fabrics look good. For added interest on a plain fabric, you can add a co-ordinating trim along the sides and bottom.


If feasible always go for long Curtains in South Perth. In the event you have a window with a radiator beneath it, then you can have a blind to close and dress curtains either side. Try not to have long and short curtains in the same room. For a more understated casual look let the curtains puddle on the floor. For more formal curtains use pinch pleat or goblet headings. With this more formal heading the curtains should hang above the floor.

Double Curtains Some windows need privacy on a regular basis. The best way to deal with this is to have a double track above the window so that voiles can be hung permanently over the window and the main curtains on another track that can be drawn in the evening. Proportions Windows can be little or big in a room and they might not be in proportion to the remainder of the room at all. For example if a window is low, curtains above the window might draw attention to the issue. It would be best to set the curtains above the window as high as feasible so the proportions were improved. If the window is narrow for the room then set the pole to extend beyond the window. If the window is wide for the room, use blinds or basically gathered curtains. Valances can also help improve the look of definite windows. By setting them higher than the window you can make the window look bigger. As a rule of thumb, a valance or pelmet should be around sixth of the done length of the curtains.
