Choosing a fabric to make
curtains is a fundamental part of achieving a complete unique interior design
style. There many different fabric styles 
and textures which enable curtains to be made for every room in the
home. Heavier weight fabrics such as damasks and jacquards can also be used to
make curtains and cushion covers, for the more adventurous chairs and stools
can be rejuvenated and given a new lease of life when recovered with new
fabric.

                    

In order to harmonise a room
the curtain fabric chosen should provide both efficiency and practicality as
well as a coordinating or contrasting the colour scheme. All weights of curtain
fabric are available in a variety of plain and patterned colours.

 

Handmade patchwork curtain
fabric provides a cottage feel which is clean and bright, patchwork fabrics are
ideal for use in a nursery when made in crisp pastel colours. Alternatively a
cottage atmosphere can be created by using floral fabrics which radiate natural
flowers and plants. For a contemporary cottage look fabric which has large
designs with skeleton outlines of leaves and flower blooms and petals look
striking against plain walls. Patchwork curtain fabric which has two completely
different material textures such as taffeta and chenille provides both a
visually appealing and tactile curtain.

 

Many fabrics are reversible
which offers a professional look from both inside and outside of the home.
These reversible fabrics are ideal for people who prefer not to have a blind or
net curtain.

 

High quality woven chenille
curtain fabric offers a good amount of heat insulation and when lined this
quality can be increased. A curtain lining fabric should be used on all
curtains as this does not only help prevent the fabric from fading in the sun
but also helps the curtain to hang correctly. Blackout linings are the perfect
solution to prevent unwanted light from entering a room.

 

Vertically striped curtain
fabric are an ideal way to provide the illusion of height to a room as the eye
is drawn down the stripes, when teamed with coordinating scatter cushions made
with horizontal striped fabric a room can have a very contemporary feel.

 

One of the most recent
fashion trends in window dressings is to have curtain which are made with
eye-let headings, the eye-lets being covered with metal rings.  Fabrics such as faux suede or faux leather
can be used to make this style of curtain or a band of faux suede in a
contrasting colour can be teamed with a completely different weight of fabric
to achieve a really modern look.

 

Sheer curtain fabric such as
voile, faux silk or hessian are a great way to cover a window to provide much
needed privacy and to help retain the privacy at night, when the interior light
is switched on , many of these delicate fabrics can be lined with conventional
curtain ling or blackout lining.

 

A whole host of traditional
woven damask fabric in a vast array of colours are widely available. The
distinct overall patterning remain a very popular choice of curtain fabric in a
traditional style home. The weight of this popular fabric is perfect for making
curtains and soft furnishings for living and sleeping areas.
