6 BASIC FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN A CURTAIN FABRIC

 

DURABILITY

It is very important to consider the durability of the fabric. Although some fabrics are very beautiful and attractive, they may not be very durable. You don't want to buy a curtain that fades or tears just a few days after you start using it, you therefore need to be very conscious of the durability before you make a choice. But if you don't mind replacing your curtains after just a short while, this should not worry you.

AFFORDABLE

Keep to your budget. Don't buy a curtain and then end up being thrown out of your house because of rent arrears. Curtains come in all manner of prices and different qualities. Buy a curtain that you can afford but one that is also of good quality.

LOOK

How the curtain looks is very important. The size and style should be in line with you house design style. Whether you go for plain calm colours of bold florals, stripes and vibrant colours, make sure it will look great in your house. Remember how a curtain looks in the shop is not the exact effect it will have in your house. Keep your house design, furniture, fabrics used and other considertaions in choosing a curtain.

HOUSE COLOUR THEME

This is very very important. Don't buy a curtain that is contrary to your house colour theme. A curtain is a necessary and also an accessory. It is meant to help make your house look more beautiful, elegant and sophisticated. Don't go for a colour that works against you.

NATURAL LIGHTING

Always consider the intensity of natural light in the room you intend to use the curtain. Some materials cannot withstand the sunlight. If you intend to use the curtain in a room with very strong natural light, go for a curtain that does not fade easily and one that can resist the effect of direct sunlight.

EASE TO MAINTAIN

Very basic and very very important. Please don't buy a curtain that you can't maintain well. You need a fabric that is washable, resist stains and does not crease easily. We all want a curtain that can keep in god shape, choose a fabric that you know you can easily maintain.
