Is your house boring you? Are you sick of seeing the same old look, year in and year out? Or maybe you’ve just moved in to a brand new home and are starting to think about decor and design? The hardest part is knowing where to start. Once you take on the first part of this daunting task, everything else will fall into place. I can tell you unequivocally that the place you should start is your windows. The first thing you should always do is work out what style of window curtains you are going to use, and once you have done that, everything else will fall into place.
Ever since we started using windows, we have had some sort of coverings on them, and window treatments have continued to evolve in style and functionality over literally thousands of years. With so much innovation in this industry over such a long period of time, it can be difficult to make a decision on which style of window curtain will suit your home best. The best way to approach this predicament is by going through your house room by room, and seeing each room as it’s own individual identity. You will soon realise that the style of curtain that will best match your bathroom will not necessarily look good in the kitchen. 
The only time you really need to give thought to inter room matching is if your house is designed for open plan living. In this case, extra attention will need to be put into matching, for example, your living room and your dining room.
Bathroom Window Curtains
So, let’s look at the bathroom to begin with. What are the most important features to look for in bathroom window curtains? Well, the obvious one is privacy. The bathroom is the place you are going to be naked more than any other place in your house (or in the world for that matter), and the last thing you want is a curtain that your neighbours can look straight through. Keep in mind that just because a curtain is opaque during the day, doesn’t mean it isn’t see through at night with the light shining through. This is a common mistake people make, and they happily do their business in the bathroom, not knowing that the outside world can see every move they make. Another consideration for bathroom curtains is the ability to resist moisture. As nice as wooden blinds and bamboo curtains are, they just don’t do real well in the moist environment that a bathroom creates.

Kitchen Window Curtains
Moving on to the kitchen, you have different considerations to make. Many people don’t even cover their kitchen windows, but just install a valance on their window for decoration. The reasoning is that it’s nice to look out your kitchen window while preparing a meal or washing dishes. This is true enough, but there are times when the weather gets so cold that you need to cover all your windows as much as possible, so it’s always good to have some style of curtain available for when those times arise. The right bay window curtains in your kitchen will make a big difference, allowing you to draw them closed when needed, while still being able to access that view without any interruptions when the desire arises.
