The latest trend in Curtains could transform Gold Coast properties

If you thought that every curtain was the same, then you may be surprised to hear that curtains have trends and fashions, much like other fabrics. The choices that you make when buying new curtains can tell visitors to your home a lot about you, and if you want to avoid giving the impression of being dowdy or boring, then you need to up your game with some specific ideas about what would make the perfect curtain arrangements for the modern home. These may include patterning, arrangement of fabric, or even material choices that can all change the look of a room completely.

Layering vs. the 'clean' look

One of the many options available to the modern room designer is the way that curtains are arranged. There are two different standards of arrangement, with the layering method becoming more popular. This involves taking fabric and creating horizontal 'folds' in it from the bottom to about mid-way. The other technique is 'clean', which involves sharp, almost pressed lines, designed to flatter a more angular room. If you want to give a good impression through your curtains, Gold Coast homeowners should consider either one of these methods.

Choose dynamic patterns

Another trend which is increasing in popularity among curtain buyers is the use of large, bold patterns in their curtain fabric. This contrasts with the fashion in the early years of the 21st century for plain, rather sombre curtains. You may choose from a range of geometric, floral or motif designs that are intended to flatter the area around the windows, and also highlight any existing features in the home.

Vertical banding

If you want to add a sense of style to existing drapes, then you might consider using the banding method. This involves adding a layer of detailed or patterned fabric to otherwise plain drapery. By adding a vertical band to their curtains, Gold Coast homeowners can change the whole appearance of the window space, and can also help to create the impression of height in a room. To make a room appear wider, use horizontal banding along the bottom of the curtain.
