Before you go to the store to buy new curtains, you need to find out what to consider when choosing them.

Some tips will save you from unnecessary headaches and make textile care easier.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior design, briefly told us what you need to pay attention to in order not to make a mistake.

Material

Most often this question is related to financial possibilities, but natural fabrics last longer and look better.

Otherwise, you can buy curtains made of polycotton – they can even be machine washed.

Color

Choose a curtain color that is 1-2 tones lighter or darker than the walls.

Neutral and calm tones or accent solutions look great.

Pattern

Everything is simple here. If the wallpaper has a pattern, then the curtains are bought in a single color and vice versa.

Size

To avoid making a mistake, you need to measure the width of the window and multiply the result by 2.5.

As for the length, the standard is a distance of no more than one centimeter from the bottom edge of the curtain to the floor.
