Warm and wrapped, the curtains bring great comfort to your interior. In addition to allowing you to avoid vis-à-vis, obscure and isolate, curtains have a central role in decorating your living room. For them to be in line with the rest of the room, choosing them well will be necessary. Discover here our advice on which curtains to choose for your living room.
Which curtains to choose: the technical choices
The size
First of all, to choose the size, measuring the windows on which you will install your curtains will be necessary. It will then be necessary to measure the width and height. As for the length, it will depend on your tastes. Because indeed, you can choose the length of the window, or you can also choose to take them 5 cm longer. These will touch the ground and give a more contemporary style to your living room.
Whether you choose the first option or the second, know that placing the rod 15 cm above the window is customary. It will therefore be necessary to add 15 cm to your measurement. As for the width, it depends on the type of waves you want. Remember to consider the rod's length and provide 30 cm more to ensure minimum undulations. It is advisable to add 10 cm to your measurements to be sure. However, it is always possible to touch up your curtains by hemming, if necessary. Better long and wide curtains, and therefore catchable, than too short curtains!
Fixation
Regarding the method of attachment, there are several possibilities. Indeed, the curtains are fixed on rods using different curtain heads. These will be chosen according to the desired style and ease of use to open and close your curtains.
First, we find the eyelet curtains. These are curtains with metal, or plastic rings already embedded in the fabric. They will be efficient if you often open your curtains because they will slide perfectly on their rod. In addition, this method of fixing gives beautiful regular waves and guarantees a perfect fall of the curtain.
In addition, there are curtains with tabs, hidden or not. These are fabric loops about ten centimetres high. The tabs are more suitable for curtains and sheers that will not be handled daily because they slide more difficulty than eyelets.
Which curtains to choose: decorative choices
Although they are mainly chosen to avoid prying eyes, curtains also have a decorative function in the living room. Depending on the atmosphere and the style you want to give to the room, you must choose your curtains differently.
Opacity
Depending on the style you want to give to your living room crushed velvet curtains, we will turn more or less to opaque curtains or to sheers that let the light through. Even if indeed we will choose curtains for the living room, to bring in the light. And to select opaque curtains for the bedrooms. It is possible to choose blackout curtains for the living room. In addition to concealing, the latter can also have the function of isolating from the cold or the heat from the outside.
The fabric of the curtains
Indeed, the choice of fabric for your curtains also plays a role in the assembly and finalization of your decoration. Two different fabrics will have different final results. Curtains made in heavy and thick fabrics such as velvet curtains or thick cotton give a more cosy air to your interior decoration. With a warmer appearance, they also can better insulate against the cold. While curtains made of lighter fabrics, such as cotton, give a lighter air to the room and are also easier to handle.
Depending on the style of the room
For example, for classic and chic decor, we will opt for living room curtains in a solid colour. These will be perfect for a chic and sober interior decoration. Choosing among white, light grey, beige and off-white will be recommended. Similarly, we will choose curtains in light colours for a Scandinavian style to let light into the room. However, in the case of modern or industrial decoration, we prefer brightly coloured curtains, which bring a touch of dynamism and modernity.
