Lofty rooms will always make an impact, tall ceiling heights are usually associated with period properties and grand homes, unfortunately, most of us don’t live in these types of houses, so how can you create the drama on a smaller scale in your own home? When deciding where to hang your curtains consider whether you could go higher. By placing the rail as close to the ceiling as possible you will create the illusion of added height, especially so if you choose made to measure full-length pooling curtains.
It looks luxurious to have several layers at the window, or what we like to call double layer curtains or blinds, so perhaps add a lighter tonal curtain or made to measure blind under the main curtains. This will create volume, whilst being a visually interesting option for those with large windows to dress, it also makes it easier to adjust the amount of light you allow into the room.
One trick designers use is the red thread, now yours doesn’t have to be red, but what it means is to have a little repetition of colour, fabric choice and finish across several areas of your home. This creates a professional finish and ensures your interior design is consistent. To continue the drama, repeat the fabric of your curtains throughout your interior, this will act as a draw for the eye to explore more of the space, also adding a feeling of cohesion and a well-planned scheme.
