The Cafe Ambience
Café curtains bring in a new look and go well in almost any part of your home. You can bring home that café kind of an atmosphere. Though very basic and simple they bring in a nice pleasant touch to the surroundings. That’s the beauty of these curtains. They look the best on a kitchen window. You can have a simple DIY project for yourself or get that custom made from a professional.
Of course, that option of buying them online is always there and it works out quite economical also. These are very convenient to search and don’t form a very cumbersome exercise. Because of their simple nature and easy features, almost every shop dealing with window coverings has them online. You do get a choice of colors and styles too. How do you like the idea of giving an antique look to a white linen curtain by simply keeping it dipped in cup of tea for sometime? While imparting that old fashioned look, such a shade doesn’t make dust so conspicuous.
Decide On the Rings
Here you have another choice. You may have them in traditional brass rings, the simplest design. Another option will be getting them with ribbons that are tied to make a loop thru which the curtain rod passes. Further, you can make them more distinctive by having a raw hem or a blanket stitch hem.
You may go for cafe curtains with a checked pattern along with a design on the front. Make a design from anything that you love or have memories associated with. Keep a photo in a plastic cover which can then be sewn in to the curtain. The possibilities are enormous! Have a photo of your family, house or even a pet. You may like stripes, perhaps. You get a choice of red, blue, green or yellow with white stripes. Go for soft or primary colors.
Measuring
Their availability in any size enables you to have something that best fits your window size. So, it’s very important to measure the window size first. Measure from one side of the window to the other and include the width of the frame while measuring. Take measurement of the top for valance to the middle of the window where the other section is going to hang. You need to decide what length of curtain should hang. You may like to give them a longer look or have them just fit inside the frame to get a neat and organized look.
While curtains should reflect on your choice and personality they should be pleasant and welcoming for the visitors too.
