Cotton Draperies and Curtains

Cotton is a fabric that easily dries and breathes well to ventilate your rooms even when the curtains are drawn closed over the windows. Pure cotton is a preferred fabric for curtains and drapes.

Types of Cotton Draperies and Curtains

* Sash curtains are modern unlined curtains that are designed to filter light. * Sheer or privacy curtains will block the view of the inside but will make the outer side completely visible. They are thin. * One curtain panel each is required on either sides of the window for a complete look. * Draw curtains prevent light from entering and are very thick. * Draperies are made from thicker cotton and accent any window. * Cafe curtains are kitchen curtains that are suspended from rings.

Factors to Consider

* Check whether you want black out cotton curtains to prevent any light from entering or a light curtain that allows your room to get some light. * Show your curtains and drapes as the center of attention in your room. * Take into account the size of the window. * Fit your curtains according to the features that the decor requires. For instance, check whether you are making a bold statement or tapering down the atmosphere.

Cotton Drapes and Curtains Tips

* Sunlight can cause fading overtime, and cotton is the most affected. Using dark cotton curtains will prevent sunlight from entering in and at the same time won't fade the fabric. * To prevent this to an extent, go for light colors in cotton and hand vacuum the dust out. * Most cotton curtains are machine washable; however washing at a dry cleaner is advisable for the cotton curtains and drapes to last long. * Valences * Curtain Rods * Curtain Rings * Cotton Blankets * Cotton Bedding
