8 Tips To Style and Arrange Your New Curtains | Home Soft Things

Let's talk about curtains! They're an absolute must-have in any home. Not only are they super practical, but they can also be incredibly versatile when it comes to design and style. Seriously though, curtains have the power to make or break a room's overall look and feel. With just a simple swish, they can bring together all the colors and patterns in your space for a cohesive vibe that's sure to impress. Oh, and did we mention how they can also add some much-needed texture to a bland room? Yes, please!

 

Use Your Curtains To Create A Contrast

Using curtains of two different styles and colors for a larger window space can create an elegant contrast and an eye-catching design feature in a room, a great look for modern curtain ideas.

You can combine a calming cream with a bright and unexpected use of color and pattern for the leading edge of the curtains. Add a playful element to the space, tying in a pink and yellow palette used throughout, while using cream colors can instill a sense of balance and harmony.

Go For A Maximalist Look

Using a bold color palette and layering pattern on pattern can create an impactful and daring look for maximalist decor ideas, and your curtains can be an integral part of the design.

With maximalist botanical wallpaper being quite the trend, why not extend this to your curtain ideas. Even if you just choose to match the color scheme with your curtain.

Mix The Classic And The Modern

Why not use a modern print or color for your curtains in a more traditional, period property to bring together different eras and design styles for a rich and eclectic look?

Use Curtains To Zone

Many of us associate curtains with windows; however, curtains can be used throughout the home to make a room feel more private and cozy, as well as to help zone a space, from doors to beds to curtain closet ideas.

For bedroom curtain ideas, add a tactile element of texture to the room and help to establish a tranquil and private sleep space.

 

Collaborate With Your Wallpaper

Many similar patterns can be found for both wallpaper and curtains, and both can add a beautiful element of texture, color, and character to a room.

Why not use a matching print and coordinate your curtains with your wallpaper for a statement, layered look?

 

Choose Sill-Length Curtains

Many people believe that floor-length curtains are the best option for interior design; however, sill-length curtains can be just as stylish and practical for many people. Sill-length curtains, which create a more casual look, are ideal if you have a radiator beneath your window or if you have a small room.

Shorter curtain designs can be a more practical option when designing children's bedrooms, creating an inviting, comforting space filled with texture.

 

Curtains are not there just to decorate your windows, they can also help you create a space filled with character and personality. Check out our complete Home Soft Things Curtain Collection and find a set that will take your space to the next level.
