If you’ve ever been curtain shopping before then it’s likely that you’re familiar with the myriad of curtain styles and designs out there. Just like anything where choices are abundant, it can be incredibly difficult and distracting to have to choose just one curtain panel from the plethora of options available to you - and buying living room curtains online is no exception here.
This short guide on what to consider when choosing curtains for your living room as well as how to style your new living room curtains will offer a brief, and effective window into this singular element of interior design.
There are a few considerations to take into account when choosing living room curtains, and for ease of understanding we’ve divided them into practical and artistic elements. The practical side of buying your living room curtains will look at installation and curtain functionality - while the artistic criteria will focus on curtain colours, styles, and wider interior design, or selecting living room curtains that actually work with your living room.
One of the foremost considerations you should make when finding your ideal set of living room curtains is what measuring and installing your curtains is likely to entail. You should measure your windows thoroughly in order to get a good gauge of what measurements to look for in your perfect set of living room curtains. Measuring your windows becomes particularly important if you’re opting for certain designs and aesthetics like extra long curtains. Many elegant, contemporary design schemes utilise extra long curtain panels to ensure that their living room curtains present a cascading effect. Whilst this look can be highly attractive when executed correctly, having your living room curtains be too short or too long can ruin the effect from the get-go.
The final practical element to consider is how your living room curtains may contribute to light and temperature control in your living room space. Different rooms have different purposes. Photography darkrooms need to eliminate all natural light, while bathrooms and kitchens generally require an abundance of it. Living rooms tend to be lighter, airier spaces but some people enjoy a bit of additional light control to support certain activities like playing video games or enjoying a home theatre space without having to worry about light glares. Knowing how much light and heat you’re comfortable in will help you choose the right curtains for your living room space.
Now we move on to the best part: finding living room curtains in the perfect colouring and styling to suit your home. Once you’ve established your design parameters according to the above criteria, you can start actually looking at curtains. Although this may sound like nothing but fun, you’ll quickly find yourself navigating a veritable maze of choices. There’s so much to choose from when it comes to buying living room curtains online! Well let’s help you break it down.
Your living room curtain material will rely on two things: your personal tastes and, as we mentioned earlier, your lighting and temperature control requirements. For superior temperature and light control, look no further than any of our blackout curtains, as they are made of thick, heavy materials like velvet, and triple weave poly blends, which both provide plenty of natural light control due to their thick and heavy hang.
Choosing the material of your living room curtains is also naturally going to be beholden to your personal taste. For instance, some DIY designers prefer natural fibres over inorganic fibres. Man-made or inorganic curtain materials generally have a wider variety of designs and colourations to them but creating them does exact a higher toll environmentally. Meanwhile natural materials can be extremely beautiful and more sustainable, however they don’t often come in as many iterations as man-made materials. That being said, it only takes most people a minute to look at our 100% pure linen curtains in order to fall deeply in love with these organic curtain panels.
And the last consideration that’ll also be likely to cement your living room curtain selection is your curtain colouring. When it comes to your curtains, they are either going to do one of two things: match or pop. For curtains that match your decor or existing design scheme, you want to choose a colour that is analogous (directly on either side of the colour wheel) to your main colour. This will create a calmer effect. If you’re after living room curtains that’ll pop, however, you want to choose a curtain that contrasts (is directly opposite on the colour wheel) against your main colour. This creates a brighter, more energetic atmosphere.
