How Can Curtains Change the Look of a Room?

Nowadays there is a trend in trying to change the image of the house as soon as possible. Regarding this tendency, the interior designers revealed several tricks which can be used to change as little as possible and manage in creating a totally different atmosphere to the same old room.

The easiest item to be changed is the curtain. It is the easiest way to change something as it practically does not last too much to make the change, unless the choice of the curtains is too difficult and it should not cost as much as the refurbishing of the entire room. With a certain type of curtains a room becomes "fresh", with a different pattern or "sober" if a different texture and color is used.

One of the first things you can change at the curtains is the color. A room becomes more vivid with red or orange curtains. On the other hand, if you just want to rest, use tones of white, grey or blue and you'll start de day as fresh as possible. Always take into account the other colors in the room. Choose curtains of earthy tones like green or brown if you want pleasant tones. Do not count only on how much you like a color. Try to see if it matches with the room and what effect the fabric has both during the day and night.

Color is essential for the curtains but the impact curtains might have upon a room also depends on how long they are. Long curtains, up to the floor, give an elegant image to the room and makes it look longer. On the other hand, shorter curtains give a less official look to the room and give the impression of more space. Another essential element is the fabric. In case more light is desired, the fabric should be silk or laces. In case you want to have a mysterious room, with a diffuse light, thick fabrics should be chosen.

Of course, these are just some tips that might turn your room into your private heaven-like corner. For more details, specialized shops are more than welcomed to measure your desires. The moment you step inside the shop, the curtains will be there ready to serve you. They were made just to make your day, day by day!
