Made to Measure Linen Curtains – Natural Fabrics Look Gorgeous
When decorating your home curtains can certainly be a natural focal point of any room. Made to measure curtains can be a great option for you. Made to measure curtains can be made from most any fabric but natural fabrics such as linen can be especially beautiful.
Why choose linen or other natural fabrics you ask? Because they are ecologically friendly and the finished product looks fabulous. Linen is made from the fibers of the flax plant and has been a highly valued fabric for centuries. Linen cloth was even used as a form of currency in Ancient Egypt. Linen is a very durable fabric that also breathes well. Linen resists dust and is extremely easy to care for. The fabric can be washed, steamed, or dry cleaned and the colors will not fade. Linen resists dirt and stains, and will not pill or produce lint. Linen also has antimicrobial tendencies so it will resist insects and bacteria.
Linen is an ideal fabric to make curtains out of because the material hangs in beautiful, natural lines, and is very light weight. linen fabrics can be dyed to match any shade that you might desire and patterns can also be printed on it. Because of the durability of the fabric you have made to measure curtains will last for years and still look fabulous. Even after machine washing the colors do not fade and the fabric becomes softer. For those who live in more humid climates, linen fabrics will absorb moisture from the humidity and can contribute to reduced cooling costs, and because of its antimicrobial properties it will not mold or mildew. Because linen is a natural fabric and not synthetic; it does not put off any chemical smells into the environment.
Made to measure curtains give you the unique ability to have curtains specifically designed for your window covering needs. You are in control of the color, style, fabric, width, and length thereby making any living space uniquely yours. Because the fabric can be easily dyed you can have curtains made to match furniture or carpet that you already have. Some people may think that measuring your windows for made to measure blinds or curtains is a daunting task, but in fact it is very simple. With a retractable tape measure, measure the length of the top of the window, or if you have an existing curtain rod you may just measure that. If you want shorter curtains that come just below the bottom of the window measure from the top of the window to four inches or six inches below the bottom of the window frame. For floor length curtains measure from the top of the window or the curtain rod to just a ½ inch above the floor for proper height.
Made to measure linen curtains is a beautiful – environmentally friendly way to decorate your home. Not only can you choose the colors or patterns, but you can also choose what style of curtain you want (and there are many to choose from) and have them designed specifically for your size and type of window. That’s definitely not something you find when purchasing pre-packaged curtains from a mass retailer and you will be able to see the difference.
