Curtains & sheers: guide for a stylish bedroom

To create a cosy and pleasant atmosphere in the bedroom, certain small details make all the difference. This is particularly true when adding curtains to the room. Immediately, the lighting can be dimmed, and the room takes on a cocoon-like appearance. So, if you want to create a bedroom that is both healthy and stylish, here's how to choose curtains and sheers.

Why put curtains in a bedroom?

The bedroom is a space that should be comfortable and restful so that you can find sleep once evening comes. To create this atmosphere, there are several tricks, and this lies particularly in the choice of decoration. Indeed, it's not just a comfortable bed that will allow you to create the ideal bedroom (even if it's true, that does a lot), it's also the various decorative details that will allow you to create a space in which you feel good.

With curtains, the atmosphere of the room is more muted, more pleasant. Moreover, these allow you to dim the light for a short nap, or to create complete darkness in addition to the shutters if you want darkness. Curtains also preserve your privacy if you have neighbours overlooking. In short, if there's one room where they have their place, it's in the bedroom.

Curtains and sheers, what's the difference?

First of all, it's interesting to note the difference between curtains and sheers. Indeed, they are not exactly the same thing. While both hang in front of windows, it's important to note their differences.

When we talk about curtains, we often refer to a thick fabric whose purpose is to block out light. This can be linen, cotton, velvet or other. It therefore hides the light and offers quite significant opacity. It therefore also allows you to preserve privacy during the day and in the evening, even when the light is on inside.

When we talk about sheers, it's a curtain that is only slightly darkening. Indeed, the purpose of the latter is rather to dim the ambiance and hide the vis-à-vis while letting light through. However, be careful, once evening comes and the lights are on inside, sheers reveal what's happening inside your home. Therefore, it's better to close the shutters if you have neighbours overlooking.

How to choose the colour of bedroom curtains?

The colour of bedroom curtains depends above all on the decoration of the room, but also on your preference. Indeed, curtains can be a very good way to add colour or even patterns to the room. If you want to warm up the atmosphere, you can choose coloured curtains or sheers. If on the contrary you want to opt for something more refined, you can choose white, cream, beige... Moreover, the offer is very wide and will allow you to find many different models. Most often, it's recommended to take into account the colours and patterns present on the bedding to create something harmonious and matching.

Also, keep in mind that light colours will let light through more easily than dark colours.

Which material to prefer?

Regarding the material, it's exactly the same recommendation as for sheets: favour natural materials. Cotton and linen for example are excellent choices. Light, they offer a beautiful finish in the room. The important thing is to opt for quality materials with a nice drape so that your curtains or sheers are a real decorative asset in the room.

Furnish and decorate the rest of the room in a modern way

More than curtains, there are other trends in the bedroom that can make all the difference.

For the bed, why not opt for a storage bed? A 160x200 cm storage bed will offer you a very nice space to sleep, but also storage underneath the bed base. A wooden storage bed for example like our 140 BASTIA storage bed, will immediately give a warm atmosphere to the room. Choose your 160x200 storage bed base preferably in wood and made in France to opt for a more durable piece of furniture over time. Moreover, if you feared that a 160x200 storage bed wouldn't fit in your bedroom, you can turn to a 140x200 storage bed. Take your time to choose an elegant and practical bed for your bedroom.

To complete the look, you can add a pair of bedside tables, a large rug and why not a beautiful large mirror to give more depth to the room. All you'll need then is a chest of drawers and/or a wardrobe to store your clothes.

How to take care of your curtains?

Finally, for your curtains to maintain their nice shape and colour, you shouldn't forget to take care of them. Constantly exposed to light, it's not uncommon to see discolouration on curtains and it's unfortunately difficult to fight against.

However, if your curtains are becoming dull, it's more than time to wash them because dust has accumulated. For this, you can entrust them to a dry cleaner or follow the recommendations on the label. Wash them once or twice a year to keep them clean and avoid bad odours. The room will only be healthier and more pleasant.
