As long as you have windows, you will certainly need curtains. And given how large the wall space windows take up, you know that the curtains will need to be even bigger so they can properly cover the area when you need them to block out the elements like heat when it gets too sunny. This means that they enjoy high visibility in a room and should therefore be carefully chosen to ensure they serve their functional purpose while looking good.
Color choice
Bright and light colors help a room look airier and spacious, while dark colors give a cozier and compact feel. Busy patterns can also make a room seem smaller. You will need to choose the color of the curtains based on what kind of atmosphere you want to create and the dimensions of the space.
Room décor
There are other aesthetics to consider when choosing curtains. This includes the wall color, kind of flooring, and other furnishings in the space. The curtain color you choose should complement the overall color scheme you have adopted for the room to avoid clashing.
Blackout and sheers
Given the climate of Thailand, you will want to invest in both blackout curtains and sheers. Blackout curtains are heavier and will help to block out any sunlight during the day and street lighting at night. They can also help to dampen noise if living in a busy area. Sheer curtains will allow you to let in more natural light while blocking out dust and insects. They also let you enjoy natural light without allowing for a loss of privacy.
Hanging
Before you have curtains made or buy them, ensure you know how they will be installed. If your house has curtain rods, then you will need curtains with eyelets that allow for this installation. If a curtain cornice, then you need curtains that can be hung with hooks.
Finding the best curtain installer
Installing curtains can be difficult work because of how heavy they can be to maneuver and lift. A small mistake could lead to costly damage to the material or the curtain cornice/rods. Securing the services of a curtain installer can help ensure you have a professional do the work correctly. Most vendors that supply curtains will offer this as part of their service or can recommend an installer that can come to your home on the day our curtains are delivered to put them up.
