Curtains and drapes can add character, soften the room with breezy ambiance, or create drama with a burst of colour. So, if you’re thinking about curtain ideas, it can be hard to know where to start.

The size of the room, position and size of the window, and the fabric choice will all influence the length of the curtain – and the type of bedroom curtain ideas you’re using as inspo. Get out the tape measure and decide how high above the window you want the curtains to start, and make sure to extend 10-20cm on either side of the window to ensure the curtains appear full.
