If you recently transferred to a new home and would like to purchase new curtains, remember to never settle for anything less. When buying curtains, the color, design, style and thickness are just some of the things you need to take into consideration. Here are some of the best living room curtain ideas for 2016 that you might want to try.
Ombre curtains are not only unique in terms of color, they are also very stylish. This type of curtains comes in multiple colors that tend to darken in the lower parts.
Hand-carved curtains are another option you might want to consider. This type of curtain is nice because it certainly won't look like any other. On Elle Décor's site, a photo of Tom Scheerer's hand-carved shutters based curtain was shown.
Meanwhile, patterns are still in when it comes to living room curtains. For instance, a Manhattan townhouse was photographed with a beautiful Quadrille fabric curtain that plays off and matches turquoise walls. Patterned curtains are nice because homeowners are typically drawn to look at their windows if this is what they have in their living rooms.
Additionally, embroidered wool curtains are also nice for homes that are spacious.
"In a historic Virginia farmhouse, decorator Katie Ridder crown's a parlor's curtains of leaf-embroidered wool with gilded rods modeled after three branches," the publication noted.
For homes that are typically warm, silk curtains are the best way to go. Not only is the material used light and thin, it also helps make any household feel cooler than ever.
Lastly, scalloped valances are also ideal for almost any type of living room.
