How to choose the size of curtains?

Very often people save on the material, and do not take into account the decorative folds, measuring only the length of the curtains. Subsequently, this leads to the fact that their windows look poor and depressing. Therefore, the question of how to choose the width of the curtains is quite important. If you use fabric loops or curtain tape, multiply your cornice width by one and a half or two. But a pencil fold or puffs require a larger size, here it is already necessary to multiply by a factor of at least 2.5.

Many people are tormented by the question, under which designers select curtains. Some take into account the color of the walls, others - furniture upholstery. If you are used to saving, then choose the second option. People change the wallpaper more often than their furniture! You can take a neutral shade material (beige, cream, sand), they almost never went out of fashion. To bind the curtains to the rest of the environment, use a matching lambrequin or other decorative drapery.
