All Things Curtains
Janeen Duffin
Beautiful curtain fabric is the lifeblood of Prestigious and is what we are renowned for.
As the focal point of a room, curtains are often the first thing we lay eyes on when we walk into a space. Therefore, it’s essential to make sure they’re right for you, and your space.
Hang fabric that you will love for years to come. Wondering about the best fabric for your space, or how to elevate a design? Let us help you curate the perfect curtain.
Choose a statement fabric for your curtain. Select a tropical velvet with details such as florals and playful birds. Match this with an armchair or sofa for a showstopping living room scheme. Use coordinating fabrics on other upholstery, such as a geometric or ogee design. Take it one step further and coordinate with smaller soft furnishings. Match with scatter cushions and throws for cohesion.
Base Your Fabric Choice on Your Curtain Placement
Where your curtains sit should influence the fabric you choose.
For spaces susceptible to cold, we would recommend a thicker curtain fabric. Cosy weaves, embroideries, or jacquards can be effective. Pair with an effective lining to increase your curtain’s insulating qualities. Opt for a light, wispy sheer for summer schemes, and help keep things cool. Choose designs that feature subtle details. Herringbone effects or ethereal printed designs add a whisper of interest. Layer sheers for a contemporary feel.
Elevate Your Curtains with Trimmings
Complete the look and add the final touches to your curtain fabric with pretty details.
Embellishments complement the details of certain designs. Pair florals and nature-inspired prints with pretty pom pom trims or ruffle edges. Geometric fabrics would look striking with beaded trimmings. Contrast fabric edges can be effective too, especially when used on a plain curtain.
