By selecting a fabric that you love and having it made into a bespoke window dressing to suit your specific measurements, you’ll ensure your curtains and blinds will be unique to your home.

1. Dress a room with textiles
Curtains were a big trend prediction for 2022, with professionals on Houzz noting that clients were requesting them more and more. In particular, this article identifies the bedroom as a key space for using curtains, with more homeowners keen to create a cosy, cocooning sleep sanctuary.

2. Showcase your personality
Fabric is such an easy and hassle-free way to inject your home with colour, pattern and heaps of personality. That’s why curtains can be a quick and impactful decorating device for expressing your own style.
If you’re finding it tricky to pick a fabric for your curtains or blinds, try using John Lewis’s visualisation tool to see how different patterns might look in your home before you buy. The tool helps you nail your fabric design choice, and also assists with choosing the length and finish of your curtains.
Styling tip: As well as finding the right colour and pattern for your home’s soft furnishings, you also need to think about the texture that will ultimately bring warmth and a sense of luxury to your spaces. For example, opulent velvets bring instant cosiness to a room, while cooler linens are lighter, evoking a calm effect. Explore John Lewis’s huge collection of over 2000 fabrics to discover the perfect option for your new curtains.

3. Frame a view to connect inside and out
Interiors that bring the outside in have proven benefits to health and wellbeing – a connection to nature reduces stress and makes us feel happier. By masterfully framing an outside view with an eye-catching blind or pair of curtains, you can draw attention to this natural aspect and increase this important connection.
Choosing the right curtain or blind is key to creating the perfect feature of your window. Start by taking inspiration from the view. If it’s a lush green vista, consider a warm rusty orange or breezy yellow fabric to complement the backdrop, while a creamy linen will serenely frame a coastal seascape. With clever use of colour and pattern, you can emphasise your beautiful view outside.
Stying tip: Heighten the connection with the outside by continuing the colour of the fabric onto other design features in the room, such as seat cushions, rugs and furniture.

why do people like to turn their rooms into luxe hotels?? re curtains it's easy to make curtains lined with domette and black out lining, so you need less fabric and it's very good for insulation. Rings punched into the fabric is ugly.. get a really styllsh curtain pole... the curtain pole company has a great selection.. wood not metal softer. get some plain canvases and paint your own pictures instead of boring prints..or buy pictures from charity shops ..reclamation businesses, auction rooms. By copying the trend your decor be out of fashion very soon. Choose what you like not to please or impress other people.
Why are all these curtains dragging on the floor? Is this a new (unfortunate) trend or the result of taking curtains to windows they were not designed to fit? In general a return to curtains from the plantation shutter mania is to be welcomed
