MEDIA ROOM CURTAINS WINDOWS

‘Fully lined curtains can help to prevent heat from escaping through windows but, for added cosiness, consider a thermal lining,’ says Yvonne Keal, senior product manager at Hillarys.15 Fall Décor Crafts That Will Make Your Home Feel Warm and Cozy When it comes to the changing of seasons, there's nothing more exciting than the summer-to-fall transition. Lining your curtains will also help add an extra draught excluder for colder months. Pull the curtain across at night to keep your space cosy and draw back in the day to open up the space. It’s not only windows that can benefit from curtains – country homes can often be draughty, so use a single panel to separate a hallway or interlinking room. ‘Checks are often a great way to introduce a simple pattern and create a cosy country feel for a more minimalistic style.’ How do I choose curtains for my window?

‘For smaller windows, it's best to stick to smaller scale floral designs or plains for the window and use cushions to introduce a feature pattern,’ says Debbie Leigh, design manager at ILIV. It’s also worth considering whether your living room gets a lot of light – if so, then brighter colours are likely to fade a lot faster than neutral shades. ‘I think for a country home, a linen fabric with a one- or two-colour print creates a Scandinavian simplicity and beautiful country feel,’ she says.

If patterns aren’t for you, Vanessa Arbuthnott recommends keeping things simple. ‘Bold, dramatic, large-scale florals are perfect for those looking to make a statement and work particularly well on floor-to-ceiling windows. ‘Florals are still a popular choice and have taken a moodier turn of late, with dark blooms creating an air of faded grandeur,’ says Laura O’Connell, product designer at Thomas Sanderson. What patterns are on trend for country living room curtains?Ĭountry-style curtains often feature timeless patterns, with stripes, checks, florals and nature-inspired or watercolour prints all order of the day. Of course, there are other decisions to be made – do you want your curtains lined, should you use tiebacks, how about using them alongside a blind, and what of the heading? For the latter, you may want to look at what’s called a ‘cottage’ pleat curtain, which features a slightly more frilled top – ideal for adding some femininity to an old rustic property. As many older-style country homes feature wonky ceilings and beams, using a pole means you can easily control how your curtains line up. However, if you would like a traditional country look, curtains that sit slightly ‘puddled’ on the floor are common, so you may want to consider adding an extra two or three inches to the curtain length to enable them to pool beautifully.Īnother common factor is to have your curtains hanging from a pole, rather than a track. When it comes to country window dressings, there are no hard and fast rules. What are the classic ways to dress country living room windows? A midscale pattern will work well for a look that's balanced and beautiful – just right for a country setting. In this case, make sure your curtain fabric meets the wallpaper, to create a continuous flow around the room. Although interior designers often play with changes in scale, color and pattern in a room, sometimes the biggest impact comes from going for a matching look.
