Bedroom Curtains & Blinds

Bedrooms are a place of privacy. It is also a place of retreat and your curtains and blinds must create a restful atmosphere. In days of old when rooms were used by everyone in the family the only place to be alone and often warm, was in bed with your four poster bed drapes tightly closed.

With modern technology, the manufacturing capabilities with blending textiles and natural products have enabled blinds to be produced in incredible range of textures and colours.

Light voile curtains are perfect for letting natural light flow into your bedroom and are beautiful when teamed with modern or traditional curtain poles.

Double curtain tracks often work well in bedrooms because they give you the option of using a soft sheer fabric that is closed all the time, giving you the privacy you desire during the day. The main coordinating curtains are then pulled at night offering the best of both curtain treatments.

Be sure to line your curtains and use a good quality fabric to minimize the amount of light entering the room. Ask your curtain retailer or curtain maker for advice on the range of linings available.

Adventerous Bedroom Décor

You can be more adventurous with your décor in the bedroom, as most of your waking hours are not spent there so you will not have the time to tire of exotic blind style or elaborate curtain design.

Bed drapes seem to be having a revival especially the ornate almost mosquito net arrangement that can be made in lightweight sheers and voiles.

Bedroom Blinds

You may wish to control the amount of light in your bedroom. Some of us like to sleep in complete darkness whilst others prefer to wake with the rising sun. Blackout blinds are the ideal solution to excessive light. If you wish to use window blinds in conjunction with your curtains there is a very wide range of coloured roller blinds to choose from.

A good combination of interior design ideas is to have a brightly coloured window blind and then co-ordinate the dominant blind colour into the window treatment such as the tabs on tab top curtains or in a border on the heading of eyelet curtains.

Voile curtains work well with bedroom blinds as the delicate voile softens the rather harsh lines of the blind giving a romantic feel to the room.

Wooden blinds come in many colours of wood stain and look stunning when matching the colour of the kitchen interior décor.
