Ideas for Decorating
With Sheer Curtains
|
Why not decorate your whole home with sheer
curtains? Not just your windows?
Sheer curtains remind me of summer afternoons in my
childhood. Sunburnt from playing on the beach all morning,
my brother, sister and I would spend the hottest part of the
day indoors.
With a soft breeze blowing through the
sheer-curtained windows and two rotating fans humming and
blowing air in our faces, we’d play make-believe games on
the cold floor. My favorite sheer curtains decorating ideas
encapsulate that feeling and beauty.
Sheer Curtain Decorating Ideas for Windows
The easiest way to decorate your windows with sheer curtains
is to buy a stunning see-through fabric and hang it from the
valance of your blinds.
If you don’t have blinds, use cheap
screw hooks found in home improvement stores to hang the
sheer curtain just over your window. You can hem the fabric
with a no-sewing hemming tape, or glue a fringe tassel all
around it.
Sheer Curtain Decorating Ideas for Beds
To decorate beds with sheer curtains drive a swag hook into
the ceiling over the bed, very near the wall. Fold your
sheer curtain in half and hang it from the swag hook.
Add
two swag hooks on the wall to the right and left of the bed
and catch the curtain with them. You can buy two sheer
curtains and sew them together to make this sheer curtain
bed canopy. Or you can buy enough see-through fabric and hem
it as described above.
Sheer Curtain Decorating Ideas for Dining Rooms
Sheer curtain decorating idea can add dramatic beauty to
your dining room. If your dining room opens to your living
room or kitchen, suspend a sheer curtain in the opening. If
the passage is relatively small, suspend the sheer curtain
from a curtain pole. Otherwise, use swag hooks or screw
hooks at 2 inch intervals. Festoon the curtains on the side
with curtain tie-backs.
Sheer Curtain Decorating Ideas for Passageways
In the same way that you decorated your dining room entry
with sheer curtains, you can decorate an entrance to a
corridor, or the entryway between your foyer and the rest of
the house.
Sheer Curtain Decorating Ideas for Walls
Add dramatic beauty to your living room, dining room or
bedroom by hanging a sheer curtain from a curtain pole
attached over a blank wall. Display a mirror between the
curtain sides, a painting or a wall mural.
