Use Country Style Curtains in 2008




Use Country Style Curtains in 2008

I love all things old-fashioned, so I was browsing the Web the other day, and saw some lovely country style curtains. That got me to thinking: When is it appropriate to use country curtains (as opposed to some other style) in decorating?

Here's what I've come up with.

First, take a look at the outside of your house. Some houses are designed with an old-fashioned look on the outside. For instance, if you lived in a log cabin or if you live in small cottage, then you can build on the small and homey theme by using country style curtains all throughout the home.

Similarly, where your house is located might be a clue to use country curtains. if you have a home overlooking a lake or surrounded by trees, this also might be the hint to go with a country theme throughout the house. This would include the curtains.

So what does it mean to use a country style with your curtains? You could add a country accent just with a country style valance or window topping. It's not how much curtain there is...but the element of the soft fabric that gives it the country look. And of course, you'll want to compliment the look with the right rods. For a country theme, purchase wrought iron rods. They look sensational with just about any style of country decor that you might use.

If you're like me--a person with a love for homespun, old-fashioned, Mom-and-apple-pie type of things, then think about giving your home a country touch by including some country style curtains. There's no better way to show some down-home hospitality for all of your visitors.
