Classic curtains
Sounds obvious, right? Most homes go for curtains, and it might even seem
dated, but once the colour scheme for the room is sorted, you can create
interest and inject some classic style or cool looks with the right set of
curtains.
You could search discount stores, or even charity shops and find a vintage
bargain. You could go full designer and get a set that makes a true statement.
Or even – and we think this is a fabulous idea – go to a fabric shop and choose
your own pattern for your curtains.

Layering
A lovely way to dress your windows is to layer the fabric, with a thinner
curtain behind your heavier classic curtains. Hang thin and light muslin
curtains which billow beautifully in the summer breeze and even help to keep
out harmful UVA rays.
Light muslin curtains also provide privacy without blocking all the light, so
you can make the best of the daylight during the winter months. Layering
fabrics keeps the heat in during the colder months.
Blinds
Choose horizontal wooden slats for a country feel, or add roller blinds with
cool and funky prints in kids’ bedrooms for a pop of fun and colour. Vertical
blinds have come a long way in recent years, and are no longer the preserve of
dreary office buildings. With a range of materials to choose from, vertical
blinds can add a contemporary feel to your double glazing has a great range of
bespoke blinds services for you to choose from.
So next time you draw your curtains before bed, have a look and a think:
perhaps a new set of curtains or contemporary blinds might be just the ticket
to dress up the windows, and change the look of the entire room.
