bedroom drapes and valances?

Question

can the sheers under the drapes and the valance match exactly?

Answer 1

Sure, but that sounds rather boring.

Answer 2

Consider the style, size, and shape of the window, and what you want the curtains for. Think about the room, its proportions and what it’s used for, the upholstery, and accessories. Curtains can be hung from rods in a number of ways.

Although most are functional rather than stylish, some decorative types are available. The right choice will not only enhance the window but also turn an ordinary room into a really special place.

Here are ten household helpful hints for choosing curtains:

1. Match curtain fabric with upholstery to unify space that seems untidy.

2. Use carpet to mark off space. A rug is ideal for establishing a social zone within a room.

3. Fabrics with classic patterns give a period feeling to the ambience of a room.

4. Remember that the bed linen, tablecloths, and towels also contribute to decoration.

5. Sheer curtain and gauze enable us to filter light.

6. Venetian blinds allow control over the amount of light entering a room.

7. Do not limit curtains and blinds to just windows. They can be used in an excessively long passage or hallway. Blinds make good screens.

8. In rooms with a lot of pictures, different colored walls, or furniture, it is suitable to use neutral tones for the curtains and upholstery.

9. Take advance of fabrics by using them to renovate your furniture.

10. Use rugs and tapestries as hanging on a wall. Their color and texture are unbeatable and they improve acoustics.

Answer 3

Yes!!! but they may appear lighter because they are sheer sheers.

I like a contrast, just my opinion though. I like a heavy rich red drapes and valances. I like a black sheer underneath. The Valance can have some cool beads hanging down.

Answer 4

Normally the sheers compliment the valances and the valances and the drapes match. But it's your room.....you get to choose!

Answer 5

Yes, I think that will make a nice clean look. Windows shouldn't sceam to be looked at. They should just blend in to the wall and not make a huge statement. Make a statement somewhere else in your room. Lots of bright pillows, candles, flowers, accent one wall with different shade of paint (not totally different, just a few shades darker than the rest), a painting, a throw rug.

Answer 6

No you can mix different patterns, and materials. Its like the fashion right now, you can mix everything and it looks nice

Answer 7

yes if you buy them that way or make them to each its own

Answer 8
