We Know: How to Buy Curtains and Draperies Here are five tips to keep in mind if you are in the market for curtains or draperies: 1. Know What Type of Window You are Working with It is important to remember that each window type has a particular size and shape of curtain that will fit and look best. Most standard square double hung windows are easy to buy for. These windows are among the easiest to decorate. But if you are dealing with a window such as an in-swinging unit you will have to be careful. If this window is not decorated properly you may find your window getting tangled with the curtains or draperies. 2. Shop Around There are many places to buy your new curtains or draperies. In order to find the best deal you will need to shop around until you find exactly what you are looking for. With so many different styles available, you are doing yourself an injustice by not exercising all of your options. 3. Check the Internet Even though you may want to physically see the curtains that you are buying, there are many internet sites that offer great deals. The majority of these sites also offer a return service in case you get your curtains and do not like the way they look. 4. Take Your Old Curtains and Draperies with You When looking for new curtains, be sure to take your old ones with you. This will give you an idea as to what size and shape works well for your room. 5. Match Your Colors Instead of guessing if the curtains you are looking at will match, why not take a swatch of your furniture and carpet to be safe? This will help to ensure that your room will match well, and it will also save you from making a return.
