Curtains…A Functional Decorative Element

We all know that curtains are the window fashions in a space.  Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, they also serve as a functional decorative element in a space.  Decorating with curtains is easy to do because of these three functional decorative elements:  decoration, privacy, and protection.  As a designer, whenever I am designing a space, I always look for a collection of curtains –Yorkshirelinens that have all three of the decorative elements.

Curtains are the finishing jewels for windows when decorating a space.  Decorating with curtains in various patterns, colors, and styles can help to define a design style or introduce a new style in a space.  Grommet curtains give a space more of a transitional/contemporary look; whereas pinch pleats and rod-pocket curtains offer more of a traditional look in a space.

Privacy is also one of the functional decorative elements of curtains.  Decorative curtains can be used as room dividers to define an area in a large open space or it can provide privacy barriers for areas in small space living quarters.  In addition, decorative curtains can be used to camouflage open shelving as well as doorless closets in bedrooms.  However, when using curtains in this manner of decorating, the length and fabric choice should be of most importance.

And the last functional decorative element of curtains is to provide protection.  Curtains provide protection against the sunlight fading of fabric on furniture pieces and flooring (especially hard wood floors).  In addition, it can provide protection against the outside elements of cold and heat.
