Regardless of whether we’re talking about business,<br />

restaurant or residential premises, curtains are,<br />

besides their primary purpose, the embodiment<br />

of taste and elegance, and if you choose them<br />

properly, lovely curtains can provide special identity to<br />

any room. By changing the curtains, you can quickly and<br />

simply change the entire ambience in a certain room, so<br />

that every space can shine in brand new fashion with just<br />

a little imagination.<br />

Naturally, curtains must be adjusted to the remainder of<br />

the room, and since you can find all kinds of models from<br />

various materials on today’s market, choosing the curtains<br />

can be a very fun experience.<br />

Different Models – Different Effects<br />

The amount of light in the room, the dominant colours<br />

and textures have a great deal of influence on the impression<br />

that a certain room leaves, which means that<br />

those elements have a direct influence on human mood.<br />

Therefore, you must be very careful that the curtains you<br />

choose achieve the effect you truly wanted. Offices and<br />

business premises should reflect a more serious atmosphere,<br />

but a huge amount of such ambience can have<br />

a negative effect and that can be avoided by choosing<br />

the curtains that will achieve a little contrast while lifting<br />

the atmosphere and making the room more vibrant. The<br />

contrast is represented by diversity and it brings life into<br />

the room, but make sure to choose the tones that do a<br />

good job of complementing each other. When it comes<br />

to living rooms, that’s where you can let your imagination<br />

run wild, but there are still some unwritten rules that must<br />

be respected. If the living room features large windows<br />

that provide a lovely panoramic view, then that’s something<br />

that must be emphasized. The effect of emphasizing<br />

the windows is accomplished by providing a stronger,<br />

more expressed contrast towards the rest of the room, so<br />

if the living room is dominated by bright furniture, for example<br />

a natur ensemble in flax colour, then the windows<br />

must be emphasized with curtains in some very bright<br />

colours. In that case, the ideal option would be curtains<br />

in slightly stronger orange or lemon-yellow. Many agree<br />

that there is no such thing as too much natural light in the<br />

room, which certainly makes sense, but there are plenty<br />

of people who prefer a more intimate atmosphere, and<br />

that asks for curtains from thicker materials, which can be<br />

used to completely regulate the amount of light that will<br />

enter the room. Such curtains are also appropriate for<br />

bedrooms.<br />
