A window curtain as an eye-catcher in every room
A window without a curtain? Especially in this day and age, when large window fronts are becoming increasingly important and are being incorporated into new buildings more and more frequently, this idea seems unthinkable to most people. If you consider the diverse functions of a curtain, it quickly becomes clear why this is the case. On the one hand, a window curtain represents a special form of decoration and can easily give a room a special atmosphere. On the other hand, depending on the material, curtains also fulfill various practical functions: Depending on the room, they serve as a privacy screen, as a concentration aid by shielding against external stimuli, as noise protection, or as a barrier against excessive light, which in summer, for example, can rob you of early morning sleep.
Which one window curtain Whether a curtain can actually best fulfill its required functions and also fits in with the design of the room depends crucially on its use and the other furnishings. In the living room, as the central place and meeting point in the home, the decorative function is usually the main focus. Velvety and silky-sheen fabrics, for example, emphasize the elegant flair, while light and patterned curtains provide a modern and casual accent. In the bedroom, in addition to aesthetics, opacity often plays a decisive role. Dense cotton fabrics in the desired color are the first choice here. Finally, when it comes to curtains for the kitchen and bathroom, you should pay particular attention to the fabric's cleaning options. Easy-care versions can be easily machine washed.
In addition to the room's function, the size and aesthetic appeal of the space should also be considered when choosing a color scheme. Light colors can visually enlarge rooms and make them appear more welcoming, while darker colors limit the sense of endless space. Colors can also appear different depending on the quality of light. Therefore, if in doubt, check the amount of light coming in from outside throughout the day.
There are several options for securely hanging your chosen curtain in front of your window. Eyelet curtains are simply threaded onto a curtain rod. Other curtains are attached to the rod using individual rings. A fundamentally different option for hanging curtains is curtain rails (also available from us; we're happy to offer you a customized solution) or wire cable hangings. The latter are particularly suited to a distinctly modern interior design style.
