Choose your curtains according to the brightness of the room

If you want to dress your windows with curtains, consider the brightness of the room. If you usually enjoy high brightness, you can easily install opaque curtains that will not overshadow the room and allow light to pass. On the other hand, if the room is usually dark, choose light, vaporous veils that will not further darken the room.

Isolate your room by carefully selecting your curtains

You can also change curtains depending on the season and your need to strengthen window insulation. For example, thick, opaque curtains may be interesting in winter, as they will help insulate the room from the cold. On the other hand, when summer comes, turn to veils that will preserve privacy while allowing the sun to flood the room with light.

Measure the rod, and keep in mind that the width of the curtains should be 1.5 to 2 times the width of the rod, or 2.5 times the width of the rod in the case of light sails. For the record, at Madura, you will find curtains in 3 widths: 145, 200 and 300 cm.

Take the peer into account when buying your curtains

If your window opens onto the street or nearby accommodation, you can install a double rod to install both blinds and opaque curtains.

To determine the height of your curtain, first install the 5 cm rod above the window. If you want to fall down to the ground, the curtain will have to fall at a distance of 1 cm from the ground. For a shattering fall, add 4 to 5 cm extra.

Choose machine washable curtains if there is a risk of fouling

In rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom that are faced with odours, moisture and dirt, turn without hesitation for curtains that are resistant, preferably thick, and whose fabric is not likely to retain any possible stains.

Select the motifs according to your decoration

For example, if your coatings, cushions and other decorating accessories have patterns, it is best to use uniform curtains in order to maintain a harmonious appearance and not increase the weight of the room.? On the other hand, if the coverings and decor accessories are mostly United, choose curtains with motifs that will brighten the room and make it warmer.
