How to Pick Curtain Fabric, Color, and Pattern
Texture
Consider the mood of the room to select the right texture. From heavy silk for formal spaces to billowy linen for a casual feel, we have a wide range of options to suit your preferences.
Color
Decide whether you want curtains that blend with the decor or make a bold statement. Our color palette includes a variety of tones to complement your style.
Prints and Patterns
Follow the rule of thumb: pair patterned curtains with solid furniture or bedding, and vice versa. Whether you prefer small, neutral prints or bold, graphic designs, You Decor has the perfect options for you.
How Long Should Curtains Be?
At You Decor, we believe in achieving the perfect look for your windows. Whether you opt for the classic length that just hits the floor or a more dramatic length that breaks slightly at the floor, our custom-made curtains will add a touch of elegance to your space.
Tips for Hanging Curtains That Will Make Your Windows Look Fabulous
Width
Our expert advice is to ensure that your curtain panels look ample and drapey when closed. With a combined width 2 to 2½ times the width of the window, your curtains will achieve the perfect balance.
Mounting
Choose the best mounting option for your space. Hanging curtain brackets on the wall above and outside the window molding allows the fabric to fall gracefully, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
Curtain Heading Styles to Know
At You Decor, we understand that the top hem of a curtain, known as the heading, plays a crucial role in defining the overall look of your window treatments. From basic headings with hooks to rod-pocket, pleated, and tab-top headings, we have a variety of styles to match your preferences.
What Type of Curtain Rod Should I Use?
Whether you opt for a classic rod, return rod, track rod, or tension rod, our selection of curtain rods at You Decor complements various styles and functionalities.
Do I Need Tiebacks?
At You Decor, we offer a range of tiebacks to add a touch of sophistication to your curtains. If you want the flexibility to pull curtains to the side for more light or a formal look, tiebacks are the perfect solution.
