Curtain Types
Decorative Curtain Solutions
Textured and patterned fabrics, accessory details and layered use that bring character to a room.
What Are Decorative Curtain Solutions?
Decorative curtain solutions prioritise adding visual character to a space over pure light control.
Textured Fabrics
Velvet, linen-look or textured jacquard fabrics add more visual depth than plain fabric.
Patterned Fabrics
Geometric, damask or nature-inspired patterns can bring character to an otherwise plain room.
Layered Curtain Use
Combining a sheer, a lined curtain and a decorative top layer creates a rich, layered look.
Tassel and Accessory Details
Tiebacks, tassels and cords can elevate even a simple curtain.
Choosing by Room Style
Velvet and patterned fabrics suit classic spaces; plain, textured fabrics in solid colours suit modern ones better.
Colour Coordination
When choosing a decorative curtain's colour, it helps to consider how it works with other textiles in the room, such as a rug or upholstery.
Using It as a Statement Curtain
Using a striking fabric on a single window or in one part of a room can create a focal point.
Who Is It Suited For?
A good fit for anyone who sees curtains as a decorative element, not just a functional one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a decorative curtain enough on its own?
It's usually layered with a sheer or lined curtain, though it can also be used alone as a statement piece.
Do patterned fabrics suit every room?
It depends on the room's overall style and how it works with other textiles; you can review options with us in the showroom.
