These textures work best with any type of décor and give off a crisp, clean feel.For a more formal mood, opt for heavy silk or velvet. Keep in mind that heavier fabrics are dry clean only.ColorDo you want your curtains to match the décor, or do you want them to stand out?For a nice blend of colors, pick curtains that match the tone of the wall but a few shades darker, or choose a soft, understated color in the room. If you want to stand out, pick an eye-catching, bold color.Here in Florida, sunshine can cause unlined fabrics to fade over time. We suggest lined fabrics for long lasting color.Patterns and PrintsHere’s another tip: if you have patterned bedding or furniture or rugs, decorate with solid curtains. If you have mostly solid bedding or furniture, add some flair with patterned drapery.Small, neutral prints and patterns are a popular choice of fabric that reads like texture from afar.Or, be bold and choose a large, graphic print in a color that complements elements of the room. Everything should have a balance.Complete your home with our custom drapery services, in addition to our collection of shutters and window coverings.
