Curtains for your door can range from different sizes due to the type of door you have. There are curtains for standard size doors to French doors and can be made of fabrics such as panels or beads, depending on your style. You can let your creativity go wild with the many options you have when it comes to door curtains. If you are the traditional person, sticking to a simple solid color or a panel may be right for you. If you have a teenager or a younger child, door curtains can be made from records, wooden beads, plastic beads or bamboo.
You can choose the pattern and color of your door curtain to either stand out and make a statement or to match up with the color of the room you are working with. Getting the correct measurements is a must to ensure you don’t make any costly mistakes. Door curtains look great in thick fabrics as well as light fabrics and it all depends on the style you want to create. If you are not sure what color will compliment your room, most stores will have color swatches or samples for you to take home and try before making that final purchase.
If you are looking for a light look for your door, choosing a fabric made of lace or sheer panel may be the way to go. For a heavier look, especially if you have a thick area rug or carpet or a thick fabric table cover, you may want to go with a fabric that has 2 ½ to 1 fullness added to the curtain.
