Adding window treatments to your room has an undeniably stylish way of completing the look of your decor. A window without curtains is kind of like eyes without brows! The look is simply unfinished. Not only do curtain panels frame your window, add colour, texture and interest, they also deliver privacy and control light.
When you think of curtains, you most likely think of them in pairs, but sometimes, the way your home is set up dictates the number or panels you need. Say you have a 5-section bay window or a lone glass-front door – why waste your money on leftover curtains? We sell most of our curtain panels as singles so you can buy exactly the right number to suit your space.
When it comes to choosing a weight of fabric for your curtain panels, think about the job they’re going to do for you. Is it privacy you need, but still want light to enter your room? Go for a panel made from a sheer or lightweight fabric. The thicker the fabric, the more light blocking ability it has. Pick up some curtain panels with thermal qualities if you want to cut energy consumption costs. They’ll help you keep drafts out in the winter and the sun’s heat out in the summer.
Materials come in a huge variety of fabrications. From sheer voile-like panels to linen-cotton blends to heavy velvet and everything in between featuring smooth fabrics to woven textures such as chevron there’s something to suit the decor of any room. Anything goes, really!
Our different styles include:
- Sheer voile- like fabrics
- Linen-cottons blends
- Smooth materials
- Woven textures
- Fun prints such as chevron, plaid, or diamond
- Classic patterns such as stripes, florals and paisley
Picking a colour should be a fun exercise and a way for you to express your creativity. Options include every colour of the rainbow and every shade ranging from the whitest white to the blackest black. If your room is neutral, you can add a pop of colour or even a bold pattern by choosing curtain panels with bright hues and prints. Or, if you want to keep things monochromatic, try a tonal print in a shade like grey, white, cream or taupe. For a room that already has a lot going on colour-wise, a pale shade can help keep your decor in check.
Many of our curtain panels feature metal grommets as an alternative to more traditional rod pockets. Grommets have a trendy look and help curtain panels open and close easily on a curtain rod. Because the rod is visible when used with a grommet panel, it’s best to opt for a decorative curtain rod.
Other curtains we sell feature rod pockets with invisible back tabs. The most versatile curtain style, it features a sewn-in rod pocket and invisible tabs to give you three options for hanging. You can slip a rod through the pocket, through the back tabs or clip a curtain to a rod with clip-rings.
We’ve got the variety and you’ve got the inspiration. All you need to do now is find your favourite curtain panels and get them hung up for great style.
What are the various drop effects for curtains?
There are 3 possible styles when it comes to curtain length:
The floating style: Let your curtains hang a maximum of 1” above the floor.
The kissing style: Have your curtains barely graze the ground.
The puddle style: Add drama to your space by letting the curtains gently pool on the floor.
FAQs
What is the difference between room darkening curtains and blackout curtains?
Room darkening curtains allow natural light to penetrate, creating a soft, diffused glow without compromising privacy. Blackout curtains, on the other hand, completely block out the light.
Do room darkening curtains allow in much light?
Room darkening curtains have a thinner lining than blackout curtains and allow a modest amount of light to pass through.
Should bedroom curtains be light of dark?
It is recommended to use soothing and peaceful colours in the bedroom, such as green, blue or pink while complementing the rest of the decor.
What widths do curtains come in?
Curtains come in 52”, 53” and 54” widths. Make sure to measure your window before purchasing to get enough curtains. When selecting sheers, get 4 times the width of the window. For panel and blackout styles, you’ll want to go with twice the total width of the window.
How far below the window should curtains hang?
Curtains should hang as low as possible to make the window appear taller. For best results, hang the rod as high as possible and ensure curtains are no shorter than 1” off the ground. This technique tricks the eye, making the ceiling appear higher and, as a result, the entire room look bigger.
How do I hang curtains?
Hang curtains by first measuring the space you’d like between the window and the tip of the rod, which should be between 4 and 10 inches, symmetrical on both sides. Then, drill into the wall and screw your rod hardware before putting your curtains on the rod and hanging everything on the brackets.
How fast will I get my curtains?
Montreal-area customers should get their curtains within 2 to 3 business days, while residents of other Canadian urban centers should receive theirs within 3 to 7 days. We also ship to rural areas in 7 to 14 business days. Please note that delivery times vary by location and are subject to change. Free shipping to your local store is also offered.
