Curtains can be a great way to change the look of your interiors, while also helping to filter natural light. They add extra dimension and texture to any space, and are great for softening harsh window edges. If you're considering new window treatments and feel that drapes or curtains would be a good fit, brush up on the different types, styles and size requirements below to ensure you make the best curtain purchase possible.
In terms of window treatments, they offer a great marriage of style and function. If you're looking to control the amount of light in your space as well as add decorative appeal, new window drapes may do just the trick. They absorb sound to create a quieter room, and are ideal for glass doors, and large adjoining windows.
There are many window curtain types to choose from, so be sure to review all your options before making a decision. Here are some of your many options:
Sash: The most common modern style, these are unlined and designed only to filter light.
Sheer: Otherwise known as privacy drapes, sheers block the view from the outside in without obstructing the view from inside out. However, they are very thin and don't block light.
Rod Pocket: Made with a casing at the top that slips over the rod, rod pocket drapes often create a soft, ruffled effect and hide most of the rod.
Tab top: Tab top drapes are hung with a rod that slips through flat loops spaced along the top edge. Casual in appearance, they don't require pull cords or hardware for opening or closing.
Ring top: Hung from decorative rings attached at intervals across the top, ring tops are similar to tab-tops in that they don't require pull cords or hardware to open and close.
Grommet top: These curtain panels are outfitted with grommet rings across the top, which house the rod. Grommet tops create a modern, pleated look when hung.
Thermal or blackout: Through extra lining and insulation, thermal drapes block significant light while protecting from heat and cold. These are ideal for privacy and saving money on electric bills.
The hardware you choose will often complete the look of your curtains. Here are the usual options:
Rods: The most common tool for hanging window treatments, rods are available in many different widths to fit varying window sizes. Use rod spaces to create depth by extending the rods away from the wall. Also, remember that the rod will be visible through sheer and ring-top drapes, so be sure its style matches your choice.
Finials: Finials are the decorative pieces that you find at the end of a rod. These come in many styles including scrolls, leaves, fleur-de-lis and balls. They also come in different finishes, like copper and brushed silver, allowing you to completely customize the look of your window treatment.
Rings: Generally decorative in nature, rings attach to the rod and allow your window curtains to easily open and close.
Tiebacks or holdbacks: Tiebacks are usually made of loops of fabric, braided ropes or tassels, and tie drapes at the center or back to the sides. Holdbacks are made of metal and are mounted to the walls beside the windows to hold back the fabric.
Be sure to get the length and width right for curtains and drapes. First determine length by measuring 6 to 8 inches above your window frame (where the rod will sit) down to your desired floor length (usually about 2 to 3 inches from the floor). In terms of width, they should extend 2 to 3 inches on each side of your window. For more details about curtain sizes, check out our Guide to Curtain Measurements that will have you styling like a pro in no time.
