Once you’ve decided on the style and size of your curtains you will need to decipher what fabric curtains you are going to opt for. The fabric of the curtain can add to the overall look of your room, and with curtain shops offering so many fabrics to choose from the choice is often quite a daunting one! Therefore, here are some handy tips to get you along the way: Light-blocking: having a thick fabric will allow you to block out all of the natural daylight within your bedroom if you are easily awoken by daylight, or happen to do night-shifts and need to be able to sleep during the day. Equally, if you like waking up to natural daylight, opting for a heavy-set curtain perhaps isn’t the right choice, as you can soon block it out with thicker material. Heat blocking: thicker curtains are also a good insulator and work both ways †blocking the heat out in the summer and keeping the heat in in the winter. You should determine whether or not your window lets a particular amount of heat out during the window, but equally if you have south-facing windows during the summer, the sun shining in will soon heat up your room. Therefore, having thicker curtains to shut out the soon is a good way of cooling the room down. Pattern: obviously the pattern is going to be one of the main features, and with Browns of Weston offering such a large selection of curtain patterns, there is bound to be one that fits in with the style of your room. Don’t worry if you like a particular patterned curtain but feel the material is too thin and will let light in as you can have them expertly lined with the made-to-measure option that Browns of Weston offer. Cleaning: even though curtains don’t need cleaning as regularly as bedding, you do need to take into consideration just how easy it is to clean your curtains. With them being in full exposure to the sun, they are also very prone to gather dust, so may need cleaning during your spring clean!
