If you think curtains only serve to protect your privacy, we suggest you read this article. You will discover how to complete your home decor with curtains in linen, lace and many other fabrics!<\/h2>\n\n

Curtains are an important piece of furniture for our homes, and in addition to protecting us from excessive sunlight and prying eyes, they are a real furnishing element. Whether linen curtains<\/strong>, velvet curtains, or thin gauze curtains, each of these fabrics has the ability to complement and sometimes disrupt the look of our homes. Therefore, it is important to know how to choose curtains<\/strong> correctly.<\/p>\n\n

How to choose curtain fabrics<\/h2>\n\n

There are many ways to choose the right curtain<\/strong> for your home. The key detail to always consider, however, is personal taste. A curtain, whether right or wrong for a particular room, can truly revolutionize the look of a room. For this reason, it is essential that the fabrics and textures<\/strong> are to your liking and reflect the style you like best!<\/p>\n\n

If you are then interested in making a more judicious choice, taking into account other technical details as well, when buying the right curtain<\/strong> it is important to consider the room in which it will be used and the fabric you prefer to use.<\/p>\n\n

Choosing a curtain according to the type of room<\/strong> is perhaps the easiest way to select the right piece of furniture for each room.<\/p>\n\n

Curtains for the living room<\/h3>\n\n

Let’s start with one of the most important rooms in the house, the living room. It is the area where we relax and spend the best times as a family. Often windows in the living room are larger than average and require a larger, more prominent curtain<\/strong>. In this room, the curtain represents a real piece of furniture. For a very bright living room <\/strong>, it will therefore be advisable to select a heavier curtain, so as to darken the room well and protect furniture and flooring from the sun’s rays. In north-facing and therefore less bright<\/strong> living rooms, thinner and lighter curtains are recommended instead, so as not to further penalize the brightness of the room.<\/p>\n\n

The perfect compromise for the living room, in my opinion, lies in using thick curtains with a gauze under-curtain<\/strong>. In this way, it will be possible to curl the heaviest or the lightest cloth at will to modulate the light entry.<\/p>\n\n

Since we love natural fabrics at Light House Locarno <\/strong>, I can’t help but recommend a combination of heavy linen and linen gauze<\/strong> for your double-ply living room curtains! For less bright living rooms, however, the Corinthian lace curtain<\/strong> from Chez Moi is perfect because it allows the room’s brightness to shine through:<\/p>\n
