A beautiful backdrop: Using a full-length curtain from East London Cloth
Discover the latest trend in curtain fabric that goes beyond traditional window dressing.
Think outside the box and consider using curtain fabric for skirts under the sink in kitchens and bathrooms, bed drapes, valances, and even room dividers.
Here are a few innovative ideas to elevate your interior design:
ISLAND LIFE
Don’t limit elegant fabrics to just cushions or window treatments. Install fabric skirts under-counter in pantries, utilities, and boot rooms as an affordable alternative to fitted door fronts. This softens the look of joinery and adds a pop of color. Installing cafe curtains on a tension rod or using brass rods for kitchen islands are smart alternatives.
GET THE HANG OF IT
Experiment with using curtains as bed drapes. Interior designer Lara Clarke suggests using curtain treatments in children’s bedrooms to create a “safari” style tent or adding them to bunk beds. For a dramatic look, suspend fabric from all four walls of a room instead of using wallpaper to conceal storage areas and doors.
PERFECT SHELFIE
Use gathered fabric to add a soft and diffused definition to the edge of shelving in spaces like pantries, laundry rooms, and cloakrooms. Skirts like these can also be used to dress bathroom pedestals, vintage dressing tables, and round tables. Incorporate an inverted pleat heading style for a contemporary feel.
RIGHT LIGHT
Transform lampshades with a full fabric treatment. Consider designs by Alice Palmer, featuring block prints or embroidery, to add pattern and color without overwhelming the room. These shades can elegantly frame a bathroom window or be suspended above the kitchen counter using twisted flex. Bed valances in piped stripes are also a timeless option.
NEW WAYS
While curtains are still a staple for windows, try unconventional approaches. Dress sitting room windows with linen half-height cafe curtains to maintain privacy while allowing ample light. Add fabric to the inside of glass-fronted wardrobe doors for a visually pleasing effect. Curtains can also be used as door treatments in large rooms to create a cozy and intimate space. Utilize floor-length curtains fitted on portiere rods for added insulation at the front door.
These creative and practical ideas deserve a curtain call in your home.
