Curtains! typically we don’t put all that much thought into our curtains; this is not to say we don’t put time and effort into selecting them, but if we compare how much energy is spent on choosing our curtains as opposed to the colour of the walls or the style of the furniture then relatively speaking they’re more of an afterthought.

 This makes sense; beyond providing the practical protection of privacy and shielding us from the glaring sun in the morning, curtains should just blend with the rest of our room’s décor, right?

 Not necessarily, curtains can be used more creatively if we apply a little outside-the-box thinking, so maybe it’s time we gave curtains more consideration?

 To get the ball rolling we’ve put together a short list of more creative ways to incorporate curtains into your décor. Let’s get started…

1. Curtains can separate spaces

 If you’d like a more private dressing area in your boudoir, then we can extend the idea of using curtains to conceal storage, and create an entirely separate space by hanging some long drapes.

2. Curtains to conceal

 Trying to find enough storage space in the home can be an ongoing problem; particularly in the bedroom because we need our clothes to be readily accessible when we need them, but the same time we can’t have everything lying around making the space look cluttered.

 Curtains could be the solution to better bedroom storage. Concealing your otherwise open storage behind a curtain keeps the place looking tidy while still allowing you to grab an item quickly when you’re on the go.

3. To help define the décor

Curtains always go some way toward contributing to a room’s décor, but they’re typically more of an afterthought than a defining characteristic. However, there’s no reason that curtains can’t play a bigger role, as with the interesting room above in which the eye-catching curtains work like a feature wall by creating a focal point.

4. Curtains creating a bed canopy

 Curtains can be used to create a cosy, enclosed and secluded space in your bedroom by hanging them around the bed to create a canopy. If your bed’s not a four-poster then don’t despair, just hang a railing from the ceiling around it.

5. Curtains can be made from different materials

 If you’re using curtains to create a dividing screen then there’s no reason you can’t branch out and try different materials, like the acrylic crystal bead curtains above by furniture and accessories company, Memories of a Butterfly.
