Curtains & upholstery are important elements to complete your home interior.

Below are some random points which will help you decide how to select them.

FLOOR & WALL

You have to select the colour/design/theme of your curtains & any other textile inside home according to floor or wall colour. Floor & wall are the biggest surface inside any room. Your curtains & furniture fabric should gel with these surfaces. If your design theme is to keep floor & wall light, but highlight furniture then you have to go for comparatively darker shade. So a lot depends on the design theme.

Laid back or ACTIVE

Visualise yourself seated in starbuck vs seated in Mcdonalds. Both places have different colours. Mcdonalds wants you to buy food, enjoy it & leave early. Starbucks wants you to relax, stay more time inside the cafe. Both places use different colours & material to create the required feel.

Curtain timing

You have to ask yourself, when will you use curtains? Only during nights or in certain rooms you will use it most of the time. Accordingly make a selection. If only during nightime to block outside light, you need darker colour. If using during daytime for privacy, you have to make sure it gels with a colour theme.

Sofa Fabric

Unfortunately you cannot use very light shade because it will collect dust & stains easily. SO you have to keep this factor in mind.

Surface matters

If the surface of fabric is rough it will absorb light. If the surface is shiny/silky it will reflect light.

Sunlight Block

Blocking harsh sunlight in the afternoon is important usage. You may require thicker curtain material. Select accordingly.

Branded vs non-branded

Branded materials for upholstery are always good. People pay extra price for it. They are good that’s why they sell costlier. If budget is no issue go for branded. However if budget is constraint, go for non-branded. They are so many products which are not branded but they are high in quality. Always buy/select it from a reputed store.

Curtain Types

Sheer curtain – allows light to pass through the curtain surface, but provides privacy inside the room.

Double curtain – two surfaces of curtains. One allows light to pass through. Another layer to blackout outside light…Two tracks will be required for this type

Single curtain – same material applied, on borders there is extra astar layer sticthing.

Curtain to cut noise

Thick layer of curtain can help in cutting your voice. It can add acoustic value. If you are planning to do some video making or doing meetings inside the room. Thick Curtain surfaces will absorb voice , avoid echo effect & give a studio-like feel.
