Window Curtains at Newport Furnishings
When you are looking to add elegance and color to the overall style of a room, simple decorative curtains are a popular option. At Newport Furnishings in Albuquerque, NM, we have a variety of window treatments to choose from including beautiful curtains that are custom-made to match your unique personality.
Draperies of the Past
In the past, the traditional treatment of curtains or draperies was to be very elaborate in the covering of your windows. A sash was used to filter light, a draw curtain blocked light, and an over-drapery was a purely decorative addition. Many times this formal look was topped by elegant cornices or valances to complete the look. The traditional style is still used today in extremely formal settings, but most individuals now look to simply sophisticated styles.
Curtains of the Present
Modern curtain trends involve one type of decorative drapery with matching top treatments designed to complement the overall style of your room’s design. Length of the curtains largely dictates the type of atmosphere being conveyed throughout the room.
Elegant, floor-length or longer curtains in solid colors or with well-blended designs generally connote a formal, dignified, or romantic tone while shorter sill or apron-length curtains with bright patterns suggest a casual, relaxed mood. Similarly to determining the focal point of a room, purchasing the proper curtains for your interior design largely depends on the function of each room.
