Design Ideas

1. Start with neutral color

Ready to try something new for your home? Here is one suggestion for getting started with drapery. The single-layer linen curtains from Ikea are easy on the budget and come ready to hang and hem. The neutral color allows them to blend into the background, yet give you the finished look for a sense of calm. Letting in just enough light, and protecting your privacy – these curtains are a must if you are just getting started with drapery on your windows.

IKEA – RITVA Curtains
These curtains lower the general light level and provide privacy from people walking by. They are easy to install. And can be hemmed to any length you need by hand, iron on hem tape, or sewing machine.

Big idea: Want a custom look? Add ribbon or another fabric, along the hem or a side edge, for a custom look.
