1) Make sure the fabric compliments your decor:

Whether your room is decorated in muted tones, or a colourful shade, it is important to choose fabric that will work. The last thing you want is a pattern clash disaster! Look for printed curtains that contain colours used in your interior, or if you are starting from scratch try basing the rest of the room around the print on the curtains. 

If you want to be bold, pair two main colours together and run with it. or better yet, go for a multi coloured print and enhance it by adding details such as pillows or throws that coordinate with colours within the design.

2) Think about privacy:

When choosing printed sheer curtains, consider how the pattern will work to produce privacy from the outside world. Darker, more detailed prints will work to obstruct and obscure better than lighter spread-out patterns. Pair sheers with a simple or matching blind, curtain, or blackout drape to allow you to control the amount of privacy in your home.

3) Choose a fabric with colour contrast:

While it is important that your curtains compliment your décor, choosing curtains the same colour as your walls can reduce the sense of depth in the room and make it feel cramped. This can eliminate the feel of an open space. 

Think outside the box and choose a colour that either contrasts the walls in a complimentary way or has the colour of your walls within the printed pattern. Make your windows stand out and welcome light into your space in style.

4) Add texture and pattern:

Using printed sheer curtains is perfect for introducing patterns and design details into your interior. You can use fabrics which are also textured to add an extra layer of depth and to draw your eye to the details. 

Go for a pattern which not only looks great in your home, but also reflects your personality and makes you feel joyful. Fall in love with your room and add some character.
