Question

List any five points to be kept in mind while selecting curtains and draperies. 

Answer 1

Curtains and draperies can be both practical and decorative purposes.

The following factors should be considered when choosing curtains and draperies:

1. Curtains with diagonal lines add height to rooms with low ceilings by carrying the eye from the ceiling to the floor, providing the illusion of height.
2. Plain curtains should be employed in spaces with greater patterns. They can also be chosen for rooms with a lot of pictures and patterns in the furniture.
3. To help create the illusion of space in a tiny room, use plain curtains with plain walls to create a sense of consistency and spaciousness.
4. When selecting pattern curtains, the important elements to consider are the size of the room, the overall colour of the furniture, and the look expressed by it. Compact designs are appropriate for compact rooms with lightweight furnishings.
5. If there are too many windows in a room, the curtain pattern should be less prominent. The solution is to drape a single curtain over a row of windows on the same wall.
