What window dressings should I choose?

Help decide what window dressings would suit your property by considering these factors.

Whether you are renting your property furnished or unfurnished, or putting your property on the market to be sold, window dressings are needed. Window dressings come in many forms and instantly change the aesthetics of a room. But how do you decide what are the best options for your property? You might find that you need to combine two different types in order to achieve the best results. 

1. Privacy.

Is your room overlooked? Do you want to provide some privacy from a neighbouring building or even someone walking past your home? If so, then it is worth considering fitting voiles that provide privacy but still allow light to come in. Another option is venetian blinds or even shutters. Both are easily adjustable so that you can tilt them to provide privacy and can be shut to completely stop the light coming in. 

2. Durability.

Curtains, voiles and material blinds look great aesthetically, but if you are renting your property then you will need to consider the cleaning of them between tenancies. For a rented property, you want to pick something that is long lasting, practical in terms of use, and also for cleaning purposes too.

3. Sound and light proofing.

Heavy curtains create have sound proofing qualities if you want to dampen out any background noise. Ones with blackout lining will also create a nice quiet haven for a restful night’s sleep to stop any outdoor light pouring in. They also are one way to try and keep your room cool when it is not in use. It is an idea to team curtains with either voiles or venetian blinds, so that the curtains don’t need to be drawn should you require a bit of privacy in the room.

4. Aesthetics. 

Window dressings can soften a room and make it more appealing. This is the case if you are letting or selling your property in Thailand, whether you are intending to dress it for viewings or not. Dated curtains in a sleek new warehouse apartment aren’t going to work. Remember the window dressings are another way to apply the latest interior trends to your property.
