Different types of curtains: which one will you choose?

The wide variety of curtain types allows you to choose the right look and desired functionality for every room. Depending on your budget and preferences, you have various options for decorating your windows:

Curtain blinds

These curtains are a light and airy option for creating privacy while still allowing daylight into the room. Most often finished with a gathered heading tape, they are suitable for various interior design styles.

Loop curtains

They offer a classic and timeless look. They are easy to hang and create neat folds. Ideal for traditional interior design styles.

Café curtains

These curtains are primarily designed for small windows, such as those in bathrooms, guest toilets, or as kitchen curtains. Also known as cafe curtains or panel curtains, they allow sufficient light into the room while still providing privacy.

Sliding curtains

These panels are a space-saving option for covering large windows or sliding glass doors. They are easy to move and offer a modern, minimalist look. Sliding curtains are ideal for privacy and sun protection. Furthermore, the curtain panels can be used as room dividers. A weighted rod ensures that the panel hangs beautifully.

Roman blinds

Roller blinds are versatile and offer a combination of curtain and blind. They can be adjusted to different heights and allow for precise light control.

The choice of curtain type depends on your personal preferences, your interior design style, and the requirements of the room. Each type offers unique advantages to optimize the beauty and functionality of your window treatment.

Which ready-made curtain is the best fit?

Transparent ready-made curtains: light, airy, lets light through.

Do you want to create a light and airy atmosphere in your room? Sheer and semi-sheer ready-made curtains are ideal for this. They are perfect for living and dining areas where you want to enjoy natural light. They also offer the option of protecting your privacy . However, keep in mind that they are less suitable for bedrooms and bathrooms, where better blackout and more effective privacy are required.

Opaque ready-made curtains: Perfect for privacy and light control

In rooms where privacy is paramount , blackout curtains are the best choice. Bedrooms, bathrooms, and offices especially benefit from them. They provide ideal privacy and reduce unwanted sunlight, which is particularly important in bedrooms or workspaces in the morning. Additionally, blackout curtain fabric offers some insulation, helping to keep the room cool in summer and warm in winter.

Decorative ready-made curtains: Style and design take center stage

If your main focus is on style and design , decorative ready-made curtains are perfect. They give every room a personal touch and add creative accents. A decorative panel can enhance the aesthetics, especially in the living and dining room . However, it's worth noting that they are often less functional. In combination with blackout curtains, though, they can provide both privacy and light control.

Custom-made vs. ready-made curtains: Which option suits you best?

The decision between custom-made and ready-made curtains depends on several factors. Custom-made curtains and drapes offer a perfect fit and individual adjustment to the room's size and shape. This is ideal if standard sizes don't fit. However, keep in mind that they generally come at a higher price and require longer delivery times. Ready-made curtains and drapes are usually less expensive, lighter, and quicker to obtain, but are best suited for standard window sizes and may occasionally require alterations. Your choice will depend on the room's requirements, your budget, and the desired flexibility.

Custom-made for individual adaptation to window frames

Prefabricated for cost-effective options

Decision depends on space requirements and budget Materials and fabric selection: linen, cotton, or polyester?

Choosing the right curtain fabric depends on your needs and style. Linen lends a natural elegance to homes and is well-suited for a relaxed atmosphere. Cotton is versatile, easy to care for, and brings a light and airy feel to a room. Polyester is durable and water-repellent, perfect for humid environments like kitchens and bathrooms. Consider which properties of a curtain fabric are most important for your space.

Linen: natural elegance

Cotton: Versatile and easy to care for

Polyester: Durability and moisture resistance

Fabric patterns and colors: how to match them to your interior design style

The choice of fabric patterns and colors depends on your personal interior design style. If you prefer a classic or country style for your apartment or house, choose subtle patterns and neutral colors . For a modern room , geometric patterns and bold colors can be a good choice. However, keep in mind that the curtains should match the existing furniture and colors in the room to create a harmonious overall look.

Easy to care for: Saves time when cleaning.

Don't neglect the ease of care of the material. If you have little time for elaborate cleaning, choose easy-care curtain fabrics that are machine washable or can be wiped with a damp cloth. This saves time and effort in caring for your ready-made curtains and ensures they stay fresh and attractive for longer.

Instructions: How to correctly measure window dimensions for curtains

To ensure your curtains fit perfectly, it's important to take accurate window measurements. Our measuring guides explain the best way to measure each type of curtain .

Curtain length: floor-length, short, or windowsill height?

When choosing curtain length, there are several options that influence the overall impression of the room. Floor-length curtains lend elegance and make the room appear larger, as they touch the floor. Short curtains that reach the windowsill create a practical, uncomplicated atmosphere and are ideal if you want to use the windowsill as additional storage space. The decision depends on your personal taste and the requirements of the room. Keep in mind that floor-length curtains can be shortened regularly to achieve the perfect length, if needed.

Hang up ready-made curtains

Whether you choose curtain rods or tracks depends on your personal style and the room's requirements. Curtain rods are easy to install and allow for effortless opening and closing of the curtains. They are versatile and offer space for creative finials and decorative rings.

Curtain tracks, on the other hand, are more discreet and well-suited to modern, minimalist designs. Sliding curtains and panels allow for smooth, even movement of the curtains. Track systems with curtain panels are also well-suited as room dividers.

Curtain rings, hooks, loop or eyelet curtains: Which option is the best?

The way you hang your curtains can influence the overall impression of the room:

Curtain rings are easy to use and allow for smooth opening and closing of the curtains.

Hooks offer a traditional, elegant way of hanging curtains and are often popular with heavier curtains.

Eyelets and eyelet curtains are a modern option and create clean folds in the curtains.

Curtains with loops offer another convenient hanging option. Loops and eyelets allow curtains and drapes to be quickly and easily threaded onto a curtain rod. These options are well-suited for lightweight curtains and create even, decorative folds.

The hanging method and accessories depend on your taste and your curtains. Remember that the correct hanging method enhances the desired look of your curtains.
