Window Coverings for Your Home
The window coverings that you choose can have a huge impact upon the home design of your windows and your room. This is due to the many different styles and colors of curtains that are available, as well as different ways that the curtains can be installed and hung. Accessories, like tie backs, can have a big influence upon how the curtains look as well. By learning more about the different tie back choices that you can consider, you can take a window from boring to exciting.
Formal or Informal Window Coverings
Window coverings come in as many different styles and designs as people. With all of these different choices, however, they can still be separated into two main categories - informal or formal.
Draperies are normally found in more formal styled rooms. These window coverings are most commonly hung in layers and are found in formal rooms like dining rooms, living rooms, and more. One layer is normally a sheer fabric or lace that allows light into the room, but gives some privacy. Drapes are normally hung over the sheers and cover the window’s trim and side casing and work to frame the sheers and add color. A third layer is sometimes used and this one is normally a valance that frames the top of the window. This formal window covering can hang to just below the window sill or they can hang all the way to the floor.
Other types of curtains are considered to be more informal such as country curtains. They can be one or two layers and are normally unlined. Whichever window coverings that you choose, they can help to add visual appeal and interest to your windows and your room.
