Every house has windows and most of them are covered with the same old boring curtains. Instead of doing that why don’t you try something new and funky in the way of window treatments? For example, take a look at a few of the best window curtain designs listed here:
1. A unique curtain idea that we found is using glass crystals as curtains. This works best on the window which is centrally located and gets a lot of light. You can source glass chandelier crystals from the local craft store and then mix and match them with glass beads. String them up and attach them to the overlying pelmet to create a sparkly, shimmering effect in the day time and a wonderful gleaming effect at night. To get the glimmer night appearance, ensure that you place a night lamp near the glass bead curtains.
2. Blinds are also one of the best window curtain designs that are not only cheap but only easy to find. You can find matting, bamboo slides, easy to use shaded matting and even printed blinds with pictures present on them. All of them are cheap and they look great in any room.
3. Linen pleated shades are already listed on our ideas for curtains list. But they can be a little expensive to buy and maintain. But the advantage is that you will be able to lower the top or bottom of the shade to let in light.
4. One do-it-yourself idea that is gaining in popularity is stenciling on curtains for a personalized look. Most large stores like Macy’s and Bloomingdales will have markdown sections where you will get luxurious fabrics for a cheap rate. Even simple marked down fabric can be reworked with design stencils to create a unique printed effect. Try Victorian-inspired stencils to create curtain effects that are elegant. There are free stencil libraries present online where you will be able to combine and download several designs for free.
Not every window curtain design will look good in your home. If you aren’t really sure about the designs and how to carry out a window makeover, try starting with a single room like the bedroom. Try a simple idea like repairing the window sills and using thrift curtains to check the effects. Once you have got used to the idea you can go ahead to revamp the entire house.
