How Do You Choose Curtains?
Length of the curtains
Surely you wouldn’t want your curtains to get pooled down into a messy pile on the floor.
To prevent this, you should decide how high you want your curtains to be before measuring. For example, hanging the curtain panel above the windows will add height to the room. Decorators often hang curtains 6 inches above the window frame, which makes the ceiling appear higher.
Start measuring the height from the top of the window to the floor along with the added height to which the curtains will hang. Add 2-3 inches to your curtain height for a much more classic look, with the curtain slightly folded on the floor. Allow the curtain to fall straight onto the floor for a clean, modern look.
Decide the colour
Determine whether you'd like to choose shades from a colour palette already used in the room (e.g. the walls or a furniture set) or whether you would prefer the curtain colour to influence the overall mood. Consider how you'd like the space to appear – a bedroom may require calming and cosy drapes, whereas a sitting room may suit brighter, textured curtains that make a bolder statement.
Also, keep in mind that sunlight will fade curtains over time. If the room gets a lot of light, it's best to avoid bright colours because they will cause the curtains to fade faster.

Consider the weight
Take into account the ideal weight for your curtains - a bedroom may require thicker drapes to block out light and keep the room snug, whereas a sitting room may benefit from breezier, lighter curtains that let in plenty of light.
But this does not mean that you cannot use sheer curtains in bedrooms. Pairing them with blackout curtains would be a great idea for this.
This fantastic combination of sheer curtains and blackout curtains will do both jobs of blocking out light at night while enhancing the stylishness of the room.

Know how to wash them
Spending some money every couple of months to get your curtains cleaned wouldn’t be ideal for your wallet. Hence, it is always a great idea to buy curtains that can be hand washed at home.
Choose home-washable curtains to save money on cleaning costs. Curtains retain their appearance for a longer period of time due to their dirt-repelling characteristics. We recommend using this stain remover to clean them.
Custom-made
Custom-made curtains are usually expensive due to the personalisation involved in the making process. You can always consider buying off-the-shelf drapes from a local or online store.
Investing in curtains is important, but make sure that you do not exceed your budget for it. As pleasant curtains may look, it may not be worth hurting your wallet.
So, whenever buying any set of curtains for your home, it is necessary to ensure that they are reasonably priced and durable.
