Lifestyle | 6 Curtain Trends That Are So Now

Changing the look of your décor does not have to be expensive or complicated. Sometimes, simply changing one or two focal points in the room can transform the whole look and feel of the space. Here are some ideas on how curtains can change your living room or bedroom: quickly, simply and effectively.

1. Beautiful Botanical 

 Introduce a floral theme by changing out your curtains for botanical prints. These can be simple green plants on a white background for a fresh, innocent look, or wildly swirling petals and leaves for a more intense immersion in nature. No matter which you prefer, you are sure to find botanical patterned curtains to suit your taste and budget.

2. Chip on the Old Block 

Curtains – including swags and pelmet covers are a great way to introduce a bold splash of colour into any room. Pick out a colour that harmonises with the room to create a peaceful, tranquil ambiance, or perhaps go for a vibrant contrast to liven things up! Colours that go well include, for example, bright red in a monochrome room, a splash of vibrant turquoise against pastel walls, or understated gold to enliven a dark red, or black wall scheme.

3. Geometric Look with Curtains 

Bold colours and strong lines are features of geometric fabric patterns and these barbaric but cheerful designs are a great way to add instant pizzazz to an otherwise bland or boring space. Because curtains can be fitted to the room, even a fairly chaotic or gaudy fabric will not look overwhelming or dominate the space – instead, it will fill the eye and add interest by contrasting well with the plainer room features. For ready made curtains online (with geometric and many other gorgeous styles) you can check Yorkshire Linen Co. 

4. Shutter the World In 

Shutters sounds like they are meant to keep the world outside, and to a large extent, this is how they are usually employed, teamed with curtains and used as an extra barrier between our homes and the rest of the world. However, take the curtains away, leaving just the exposed shutters and you have a whole new style: all the privacy you could desire, but the ability to see out and free access for a cooling breeze and plenty of sunshine and daylight. Check out Ikea’s range for some great designs.

5. Keep it Natural 

Emphasise any natural features in the room: a striking piece of driftwood, any wood grain furniture, and a neutral earthy colour scheme, by opting for natural fabrics in your curtains. The slightly rougher texture of plain, untreated cotton or linen adds a wonderful yet subtle depth to the décor – great for an understated but interesting theme.

6. Jewel Tones for a Richer Colour 

If you might feel that brighter, deeper colours are too strong to use lavishly in décor, it might be time to step outside your comfort zone! Jewel colours: ruby red, emerald green, sapphire blue, are all great ways to add instant warmth and cheer to any room. Depending on your other décor choices, this can be as subtle or as outré as you like!
