Window treatment adds a lot to a room and can accentuate its decor style. Curtains can also set the mood. Theatre-like drapes, for example, add drama. On the other hand, sheer curtains in soft colors do not draw attention but, instead, filter the perfect amount of light to set a bright but calm atmosphere. Whether you are using curtains to make a statement, control how much light fills a room, or simply accent a room decor, choosing the right curtain requires some thought.

3. Luxurious Silk & Velvet Curtain
Accentuate your living room or bedroom with large luxurious silk curtains. Silk curtains speaks for themselves. They add sophistication and beauty to any interior space. When hanging your silk curtains, it’s best to start above the window and let them flow down until they sit right above the floor, allowing them to drag slightly. This will lengthen the room and create an elegant look. Silk is one of most diverse fabrics available for window treatment because it comes in a wide variety of textures and colors. The best feature of silk curtains is their softness; perfect for shabby chic homes.
Velvet curtains add drama to a space, especially when paired with other velvet furnitures and home decor pieces. For a glamourous look and lasting style, add accent gold furnitures and solid tone pillows. Layer your velvet with different textures to create a cozy and comfortable environment. Velvet curtains not only help with blocking out light but can also be used to hide walls or divide areas in large open spaces.

4. Pastel and Ombre Colored Curtains
The perfect way to add softness to a space is by using pastel-colored curtains. They can beautifully add an airy ambience, giving a room a flowy and relaxed feel. Add several layers of sheer pastels curtains to help keep your privacy while nicely filtering light into the room. Pastel curtains are simply adorable and a must-have in every home.
For a one-of-a-kind curtain, ombre is the way to go. It adds style to a space and looks amazing when paired with plain white curtains. Use alone as a statement piece for the room. It’s also great for showcasing large windows or openings, such as balcony. Ombre semi sheer curtains are a wonderful way to bring in light as the ombre color effect will filter in the slight cool color into the room.

Linen curtains, as we know them, are very special because they are lightweight and lend a nice, natural touch to a space. Natural linen curtains are a safe choice, especially if you’re looking for curtains made with organic fabric. Perfect in kids’ and nursery rooms, most natural linen are hypoallergenic and come in their natural texture and colors. Their soft and undyed color add that raw natural charm to a space while giving it a clean, earthy feeling.
