Window Dressing - Curtains


Home Interior Design Blog.House Remodelling Hampshire


Window Dressing requires passion in order to provide the finishing touch to a beautiful home. There are so many varieties of materials in the market place that you are spoilt for choice but as a rule of thumb and to help you make the right design choice, you either go for a plain style and optimise the design of the curtain material or choose a plain fabric and accentuate the style.

Selecting the right fabrics is a must; here are some tips.

Natural Silk - keep to neutral colours.

Silk - a romantic fabric and very suitable for all types of blinds - wonderful colours - line in another colour for an opulent effect.

Spotted Voile - especially good used on roller blinds - a translucent fabric so leave unlined.

Open Weaves - really more of a statement than a fabric - obviously leave unlined or you loose the whole effect.

Cotton - glazed cotton adds a touch of luxury to a normal cotton material.

Novelty Cotton - looks very effective when used as a Roller Blind in contemporary setting.

It's also hard to remember all the designs that are available; here are a few....

Blinds - Roller Blinds, Roman Blinds, Austrian Blinds, Linen Fold (an alternative to net curtains), London Blind, Festoons, Cascades, Oriental Blind, Shutters and Venetians.

Curtains can be finished off with variety of pelmets, valances and some people prefer to accentuate the detail of the curtain pole.

At Artemis we supply and fit all window dressings making sure the client is made aware of the designs which are available for their particular requirement.

Roller blinds come in variety of operating system and with many features. Evaluate your conditions inside and outside of building and take your interior design into account before installing the blinds. Hire blind cleaners for regular cleaning of the blinds.

Office blinds or home blinds tend to gather minute dust particles due to continued exposure to the climatic conditions. if you do not remove the dust regularly, it will eat out the fabric gradually and you may be purchasing a costly window blind soon.
