Here’s three ways that Drapes + Curtains can improve your living room.

From drab to fab.

If you’ve been living in a home for a few years and feel it’s lost some of its appeal, consider sprucing things up. If you’re not invested in repainting the walls or making any drastic changes, Curtains or Drapes with polka dots or brightly-coloured patterns will breathe new life into a monochromatic living space.

If you’re not ready to make a huge leap, even a change in colour could make a difference. If you’ve been matching your dark tones together for a while, it’s time to go with a pastel or a brighter complementary colour. Solid coloured Drapes and Curtains could change the feeling in your room without you having to spill a drop of paint.

Warm things up.

Even if you’re into modern design your home can still be comfortable and warm. One of the issues with homes that rely on the mid-century modern style or contemporary design is that they can lose that indescribable element  “home”. The right set of Curtains can recapture that ambience.

You may have a comfortable furniture set and a cosy living space, but your Curtains clash with the ‘feel’ of your room. To complement and enhance your space choose a fabric or pattern that can bring out the best elements of your current set up.

Layers for all weather.

Curtains and Drapes are not just for show. They serve practical purposes. Whether you live in a warm or cool climate, dense drapes can help to keep cool air in during warm weather or keep cold air out in the winter.

 

Your Sheer Curtains help to filter the direct sunlight that comes in throughout the day. Additionally, they offer you some privacy in your home if you’re at the centre of a busy area.

 

Using these layers intelligently will allow you to not only lower your energy costs but also give you privacy when you need it. When you’re prepared for all weather, you’ll want to spend more time in your living room than ever before.

 

Curtains + Drapes need to fit your style.

When you’re searching for new Curtains and Drapes, you need to find a set that matches your overall aesthetic. While you might be tempted to shake up your style in a big way, if your choice clashes with your furniture, you might be disappointed.
