Dress your windows

“Curtains shouldn’t hang at half-mast. If you want to make sure you’re making the most out of their effect, make them “kiss” the floor or puddle with elegance,” as the design experts at Heal’s suggested. When it comes to curtains, the general rules of thumb say that the combined width of the curtain panels should remain one and a half to two times the width of the window itself.

If you want extra-wide windows, consider getting double-width fabrics because there will be fewer fabric joins. If you know your windows aren’t that big, just give the illusion of something larger by setting the curtains outside the edge of the window.

It’s a great way to frame it, which will give your room the needed touch of softness but also a feeling of space. Also, don’t be afraid to go all the way between the floor and the ceiling, as short curtains make the whole room look a bit weird. If you’re not into long curtains, just go for a relaxing Roman blind!
