Curtains exist to cover windows; this universal truth does not change, right?

 Well, sometimes it does. In fact, adding a couple of decorative touches in relatively unusual points and spots, and making the most of our imagination, we can come up with an unexpectedly elegant result; a prime example is the placing of new curtains in your bedroom. 

In this article, you will discover four clever ways to decorate your bedroom with new curtains - aside from those covering your windows!

1. Drape your Bed Around

A bit medieval, this style is just perfect for bedrooms with vintage characteristics and wooden decor. It affords greater warmth, a sense of privacy and security, as well as-as a peculiar romanticism, which is simply irresistible.

Hanging them up is pretty simple: Hang up the curtains around the bed, by attaching them on hooks fixed up on the ceiling, or on poles mounted on the corners of the bed.

The type of curtain rests on your taste and the style you prefer for your bedroom. For example, a more delicate, lightsome curtain in a bright, gentle colour will breathe a nice sense of romanticism in your bedroom. A lightweight curtain will also alleviate any fear you may have regarding its mounting.

If, on the other hand, you wish for something with more... gravitas for the winter and cool for the summer, make sure you fix the mounts of the curtains firmly up on the ceiling.

      2. Add More Colour

If your bedroom features a mild pale or earthy colour and you feel it needs a little more colour and vivacity, instead of painting one of the walls, try to hang up a curtain in a lively tone, which will fill you with energy and up your spirits.

      3. Translucent, Airy Textiles

If you love romanticism, opt for embroidered, airy curtain textiles with airy, soft texture, delicate tricot and small weight.

Generally speaking, translucent textiles remind of fairytales and breathe a dream-like aura that will beguile your mornings and relax you at nights, allowing you to play with the light of the sun or the lamps of your bedside table.

For a more sophisticated, aristocratic visual result, try to hang up and open your curtains crosswise.

      4. Behind your Bed

Finally, try to place a curtain behind your bed. In this case, opt for a heavier, more impressive curtain - maybe with a floral design, or an embossed and embroidered fabric in a more classical hue. Check if you can match it with your bedspread.

Indeed, curtains were first designed for the windows, but that doesn’t mean you cannot use them to up the looks of other sports in your bedroom!
