According to interior designers in Israel, curtains can transform your home in many ways.

Many people think of curtains as having a practical purpose, such as providing shade, especially in warm-weather places like Israel where we want to keep our homes cool. This is definitely a good reason to get your home outfitted with curtains. They also provide privacy, which can be essential in Israel where our homes are often close together.

But that’s only part of their charm.

Curtains also play a really important role in interior design. According to interior designers, the answer is unanimous:  Curtains will make your home more elegant, more stylish, and more complete!

Curtains provide color

Most interior designers agree that curtains can provide the accent color to any room.  For example, your curtains could pick up the blue accent color that you’ve added to the pillows on your sofa.  Curtains in light colors, such as white or beige, will help brighten up a dark room or tone down a really bright room.  And curtains with a pattern can bring pizzazz to any boring room! 

The fabric of the curtains can make a statement. If you want your room to look formal, go for heavy curtains.  If you prefer making a more casual statement, a light weight, breezy fabric is better.

Curtains make a statement

It’s not just the fabric that makes a statement. According to interior designers, the heading of the curtain is really what makes the statement. From the triple pleat to the eyelet, there are many choices of headings to make your window treatments look fantastic!

The length of the curtain should also be considered. Floor-length curtains are popular in Israel, because nothing looks more sumptuous than full-length ceiling to floor curtains.

Curtain rods also have a certain appeal. According to some designers, curtains with really eye-catching curtain rods can provide a colorful accent to the room. Alternatively, pelmets can be designed to conceal window blind boxes (triss boxes) which are commonly installed in older Israeli homes.

All interior designers seem to agree that it’s best choose your curtains after you’ve chosen your primary color and your accent color and after you’ve furnished your room. That will make choosing the right curtains much easier!
