Know About The Latest Trends In Curtains

Last updated on February 26, 2017

Curtains are coverings for windows that are placed inside a home and are basically used for the purpose of blocking light or thermal radiation from entering the home by covering the interior pane of the window. These are generally cloth and are made of fabrics of differing opacity depending on how much light is to be blocked.

Curtains in NYC are the most popular type of window treatment for various reasons. They help provide a soft warm environment as well as creating color, pattern and texture for your home décor window treatment ideas. Framing a window with fabric provides attractive aesthetics and are functional.

Curtains are an essential part of interior decoration. To ensure your curtains are in sync with your interiors, you could choose from among different styles and types. Some of the common types of curtains in NYC include the following:

• Box Pleated Curtains: These curtains provide quite a tailored look and drape into deep folds down the full length of the curtains. The box shapes line up next to each other which create that formal and pleated appearance. These are ideal for more formal rooms such as the lounge, dining or study rooms.

• Sheer Curtains: These curtains bring lightness to any window as their sheer fabric allows a little privacy while still filtering in light. Sheer curtains are often hung as secondary curtains or over blinds. This means that the primary curtain or blind can be used to block out light and then pulled back to reveal the sheers which allow light in while still minimalising visibility into the room. Often sheers have a tab top design but can be custom made into other curtain styles, keeping in mind the delicateness and light weight properties of sheer fabric. Suitable for almost every room, sheers can be made more formal when the curtain top is encased in a pelmet, concealing the curtain rod and wall joinery.

• Cased Heading Curtains: These simple types of curtain are mainly used for nets and lightweight fabrics that are not to be opened and closed frequently. A casing sewn across the top is left open at the ends. These need to be hung on a slender curtain rod that threads through the channel and fits onto hooks or into sockets at the sides of the window. Because the curtain rod gap is a tight fit, these curtains are best used in rooms that are used less frequently, such as a formal sitting room.
