Modern Curtain Design

There are many ways that you can define the style of a room. One often overlooked technique is curtain styling. Curtains are more than just the dressing for your windows. The colour, fabric and pattern of curtains play an important role in tying together a room's design palette and overall look. This is also true of the styling of their curtain headings.

Most curtains are considered contemporary curtains. This is because of the fact that they go with almost any decor. They offer you a modern alternative to shutters or blinds in the various designs that are available. These can be used in a bathroom, living room, kitchen or bedroom. They are available in many different materials such as silk, linen and polyester that can affect the prices of the curtains. Pinch pleated drapes are one of the most contemporary curtains. They are very sleek curtains and can be made from silk as well as other materials. They are a very elegant curtain.
- Tab top curtain headings. Called 'tab top' because of the small tabs of fabric that hold the curtains onto the rod, these curtain headings are designed in a modern style that gives them a simple, clean look.
- Eyelet curtain headings. Another modern style of curtain heading popular for ready-made curtains, these are designed with round 'eyelets' along the top of the curtain for easy placement onto a curtain road. Simply designed in a modern style, these curtain headings give a clean, contemporary look to a room.
- Pencil pleat curtain headings. Pencil pleats curtain headings are designed with long, tightly packed pleats at the top of the curtain in a more traditional style. Neat and tidy, yet still full and textured, these finely pleated curtain headings can give any room in your home a distinguished formal look.

Whether you prefer informal modern styles or more formal traditional styles of curtain heading, it's important to have an understanding of the specific styles that are available to you. Then you can be sure that you know exactly what you will be putting up when the time comes.
