Uses for a Velvet Curtain
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios

Adding a velvet curtain to a living room or bedroom can add drama and elegance to the space. These curtains will keep out the light until a person wants to open the curtain allow light to pass. For those who work during the nighttime and have to sleep during the day, a velvet curtain will help keep the room dark. It is an attractive and functional way to keep light out of a room. When a person is looking for a change in their living room or bedroom, changing their curtain color or length can be all that will be needed. For those on a budget, this simple change will really alter the look of any room.

The velvet curtain comes in a variety of sizes and colors. They are heavier than other curtains and should be used on larger windows. Floor length windows are the best for longer curtains, but buying a shorter velvet curtain will also work. When choosing curtains there are a few tips one should follow. Always measure the window before buying curtains. Measure from where you would like the curtain to hang to the bottom of the window. These curtains are heavier than other curtains or drapes. Buy the proper curtain rods to hold the curtain. Metal curtain rods will probably not work. A sturdy wood or iron rod is the better choice.

These curtains can be purchased in many stores, online, and even at garage sales. Cleaning the curtains is easy. Most are machine washable and will not need to be ironed. There are some of these curtains that will need to be dry cleaned. If a person has pets that shed fur often, the curtain may pick up some of the fur. This means the velvet curtain will have to be cleaned a little more often. The cost of having curtains cleaned every few months will not cost that much. Adding new curtains to a room will help make the room appear larger, and also give the room a new feel.
