Curtains are used to block light from the home, and in some cases, to provide insulation.  Heavy curtains are particularly suitable for this.  Curtains are nearly always hung on the inside of a window, are available in many different fabrics (sheer lace through to heavy velvet, for example), colours and textures, and can be ready or custom made.  Even further, they can also be manually operated or motorized, meaning that they are suitable for any application within the home.

For the money spent, curtains can do a lot to help make the house feel “furnished”.  They don’t necessarily have to be expensive, for it is the workmanship and quality that counts more so than the materials used.  Curtains can be used to create a casual, modern or formal look.

There are several different types of curtains, from tab tops to different types of pleats such as pinched pleats, pencil pleats and roll pleats.  Other accessories such as pelmets, swags, tie backs, tassels and tails will help to complete the look, whether it is minimalist or ornate.
