How to Pick the Perfect Pair of Wide Curtains for your Room

These days, all it takes is a quick search online, or a browse in the home interior shops on the high street, to realise just how many different styles of curtains there are on the market. From tab top and eyelet to pencil pleat and panel curtains, you’ve got a huge quantity to choose from. That’s not to mention all the different colours, patterns, and fabrics they’re available in too. If you’re on the hunt for the perfect pair of wide curtains, here’s how to make sure you choose the right ones for your room.

For starters, the style of wide curtains you choose for your room should be somewhat dependent on the room itself. Here are some things to consider when you’re looking at buying curtains…

•    How much light do you want to let in when the curtains are drawn?
•    Do you need your curtains to help keep drafts at bay?
•    Would you like your curtains to help with soundproofing?
•    Do you need Ready made blackout curtains?
•    Are you buying curtains to match an existing décor scheme or will you be building your room décor around your curtains?



Once you’ve taken the above into consideration, picking the perfect pair of wide curtains shouldn’t be too much trouble. Wide curtains make a great choice for rooms that are lucky enough to have a series of windows on one wall. Older style properties tend to have these. But you’ll also find many modern properties now feature beautiful French doors that open out into the back garden. Likewise, wider curtains are perfect for adding the finishing touches to these windows and doors.

Patterns and colours

You can easily use curtains to make a statement in your room, or if you’d rather, by using clever colour tricks, you can give your curtains a subtler finish. If it’s a bold statement look that you’re after, consider using curtains with striking patterns on them. Larger rooms can handle big designs on curtains. If, however, you are looking for curtains to hang in a smaller room, it’s a wise move to keep your curtains simple. Too much detail has a tendency of making your room feel ‘overcrowded’ so keep it paired-down and low key when you’re buying curtains for a smaller room.


Use colour to frame your windows and you’ll achieve a striking look. Again, bigger rooms can handle bolder colours, while smaller rooms tend to look better with curtains that are a little more simplistic in style.

As with everything, it’s always a good idea to make sure you finish your work off properly. Keep your curtains tied back neatly using tie backs or metal hooks, add designer-look finials to the end of your curtain poles to give a really glam feel, and every so often, freshen your curtains with a quick steam or dry clean.

With a little thought and planning, you should have no trouble finding the perfect pair of wide curtains for your room.
