How to Bring Holiday Cheer to Your Home Through Drapery
The holidays are a time for merriment and spending time with loved ones. But if your home feels more like a Grinch’s lair than a jolly abode, don’t worry! There are plenty of ways to bring holiday cheer to your space through simple decor changes, like adding festive drapery. Read on for tips on how to make your home merry and bright this holiday season.
Don’t underestimate the impact drapes can make.
Although they often do not get the same attention as twinkling lights or festive figurines, drapes can be a powerful element in your decorating set-up. Not only can they add a fresh touch of color and class to any room, but they can also help bring out all kinds of other decorations by providing stunning accentuation. When you include curtains in with your holiday decorations it will likely seem like everything from sparkling garlands to tinseled trees takes on an entirely new life. With this in mind, adding drapes may just be the perfect way for you to complete your holiday decorating endeavor!
Create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Drapes are a quick and easy way to instantly make any home feel more inviting. Not only can they provide a cozy atmosphere, but depending on the style of curtains chosen they can also be used to add texture and color to your interior décor. Whether you’re drawn to the classic charm of lace curtains, the modern look of sheer panels, or want something attractive and thermal to decorate and insulate, drapes are an effective way to draw attention away from any unsightly features while still providing a welcoming, snug atmosphere in your home. For best results, choose colors that match or complement your walls, furniture, and artwork for an overall harmonious effect.
Consider color, material, and style.
When selecting a drape, consider color, material, and style. When choosing a color, remember that neutral tones work best in most cases, but you may wish to make a statement with bolder colors. The material should reflect not just your personal style but also practical considerations such as insulation, ease of laundering, or resistance to sunlight or moisture. Finally, choosing between curtains or blinds comes down mainly to personal preference and suitability for the room’s purpose – do you want privacy from the outside world or just something decorative? No matter what you choose, take time to look at all available options first so that you can find something that looks great and suits the needs of your space.
Bring holiday cheer to every room - not just your shared spaces.
Drapes are a great way to style any room in the house. As living and dining rooms often feature other decorations throughout the holiday season, consider how drapes might add an elegant touch in different areas of your home. Try mixing sheer fabrics with holiday colors for a soft light effect and heavier fabrics for more contrast in a bedroom. In smaller rooms such as bathrooms or laundry rooms, short window treatments featuring seasonal colors or designs provide just enough style while allowing natural light into the space.
