Wine Or Raspberry – The Trending Color For Living Room Curtains This 2016

Window Treatment Ideas trending in 2016 :

White is the color of 2016, the ideal backdrop for you to decorate the window at home. For many white is not a color, for me it is the blank canvas to which I can add color and warmth to make the room look insanely beautiful with the right window treatment.

The living room is the most important room in the house as the family and friends spend a lot of time here, be it a quiet evening or some celebration. The living room curtains are the key to a rich and luxuriant room. The windows are the eyes of the room, selecting the wrong curtain can make the room lose its charm.

Knowing a few simple tricks for selecting curtains will simplify the task of decorating the room. Do not think too much about the color or texture of the curtain in advance. Simply browse through leading home decor portals and find the right curtains that catch your attention. 100% cotton prairie curtains with lining are best suited for most rooms. Choose burlap wine or black curtains if the living room interiors are floral or decorative. If the room interior is simple then checked curtains like cider apple prairie curtain or navy or mustard color check curtains will add character to the room.

Choosing the right curtain can sort out the light or dark problem as well. If the room is too lit, a dark color curtain will block that extra light from entering the room making it a cozy room. If the room does not get enough natural light, checked pattern curtains in cotton will serve the purpose by ‘illuminating’ the room.

The length of the curtain is dependent upon the function of the room. You may choose 72” curtains for the living room and bedroom windows or the shorter type like the window tiers for the kitchen and dining area to create an informal atmosphere.

With so many fabrics available in the market for curtains, cotton is my suggest fabric as it is easy to maintain, convenient to use and looks stylish as well. Decorating the curtains with headers like valances and swags add to the character of the room.

Tying the curtain is an art that can be developed by experimenting. The thumb rule is to tie the curtain at 2/3rd from its bottom. You can experiment with where to tie the curtain, where it looks best. Use ties, ribbons or scarves to hold the curtains. Hanging tassels on the tie makes the curtain and the room look stylish.

You need not have a master’s degree in tailoring to make window tiers. With little sewing knowledge you can create your own window tiers. All you need to do is imagine the window to be your canvas and how you are going to paint it. The following steps should create window tiers that you have imagined.
  1. Stuff you will need to sew a window tier is measuring tape, scissors, fabric, thread, sewing machine and iron
  2. As tiers usually cover the lower half of the window, measure the height and width of the window accordingly
  3. To this measurement, add about 1 3/4th (one and three fourth) inch for the rod pocket and around 2 1/4th (Two and one fourth) inch for the lower hem
  4. Decide the fullness you want to give to the window tier/window. For gathered tiers double the width, while for extra fullness triple the width
  5. Choose the fabric you want to use. Cotton fabric looks cool, is easy to stitch and maintain while other fabrics may give an elegant look but are slightly tricky to stitch
  6. Cut the fabric as per the measurements. Lay the fabric flat and fold about 1/4th inch on the two sides. Sew this up by running it through the sewing machine using the appropriate thread color
  7. Turn about 1/4th inch across the top and stitch it up
  8. Fold about 1 ½ inch on the top and sew it to make the rod pocket.
  9. Measure the length of the curtain. If it is longer, then cut a bit from the bottom, leaving about 1 inch for lower hem. Hem up the bottom too by folding it about 1/2 inch
  10. When you are stitching, keep the pattern in mind of the fabric and sew accordingly
  11. Iron the stitched panel, push them through the rod and you have the window tiers
Tips to keep in mind while creating your own window tiers
  • Measure in a straight line.
  • Press and pin the fold or iron the same to remove the crease which lets you stitch accurately and neatly.
  • For a ruffle at the top of the rod, adjust the rod pocket measurement.
  • Make sure both panels are of exact measurement.
  • Polyester or synthetic thread is recommended or mercenized cotton thread for cotton fabrics.
  • Remember to remove the pins after sewing if you are using them.
