Ready Made Velvet Curtains: Dramatic Elegance Made Easy

Posted by GuestPoster in -Home Improvement

Velvet is a gorgeous, luxurious fabric that most people love to touch. For centuries, this soft, heavy fabric was reserved for royalty and nobility. Now, anyone who loves velvet can enjoy the soft beauty velvet curtains lend to modern homes. If you think velvet is too fancy for your home, think again! While some velvets are shiny, fancy and formal, others have more of a matte texture and a look that will blend in perfectly with more casual settings.

Red velvet is probably the ultimate in opulence. When paired with luxurious trims such as gold braid, it looks stunning in a formal setting. From bright red to deep garnet, red velvet is a lovely substance. Manufacturers have made curtains available in less formal red velvet – soft, touchable and perfect for a living room, dining room or bedroom. Tab tops are perfectly bohemian – so if you love red velvet, try it in curtains.

From very pale blue to deep rich cerulean tones, blue velvet is another very elegant fabric. Lush, shimmering blue velvet is gorgeous in formal dining rooms, living rooms and sitting rooms. Duskier tones are perfectly chic for less formal spaces – if you’ve ever had a pair of velvet blue jeans you know what type of fabric this is – warm, rich, and friendly all at once.

Curtains made from brown or gold velvet can warm a space up immediately. Caramel tones are lovely with reds, yellows, greens and browns. If you want all the insulating power of ready made velvet curtains but prefer a more natural look, go with these earthy tones of gold or brown curtains.

Be sure to measure your windows carefully before you buy your curtains. If curtains in your windows size are not available, try the next size up. It’s so much easier to drape, twirl and twist larger velvet curtains to look perfect in a window than it is to make curtains that are too small to look at home! Finally, be sure to check care instructions. With proper care, high quality velvet curtains can last for many years.
