Getting curtains right involves careful consideration of several factors, primarily focusing on creating the illusion of larger windows and maximizing light. Here's how:
-
Curtain Rod Width: Choose a curtain rod or track that extends 10-15cm (approximately 4-6 inches) wider than your window frame on each side. This allows the curtains to be pulled completely off the window when open.
-
Overlap: Aim for the edges of the curtains to overlap the window frame when fully open. This maximises light entering the room and makes the window appear larger than it actually is.
Essentially, the key is to make your windows appear larger and allow more light in. This involves selecting the right width for your curtain rod or track, and ensuring sufficient overlap of the curtain when open.
