Decorating Your View And Your Window With Curtains
Curtains are materials that are hung over a window for decoration and other purposes. The main purposes are to provide privacy, block sunlight and decoration.
If the window looks onto streets or sidewalks, then curtains can be used for privacy. Translucent curtains like net curtains or sheer curtains will only block sunlight partially. These types of curtains do not provide any privacy, especially at night. For privacy opaque curtains are better.
Curtains are also used for light control to prevent glare, for sleeping during the day, or watching TV etc. Opaque curtains are suited for light control. For partial light control sheer or net type curtains are better suited.
Curtains are also used for increasing the aesthetic appeal of a room. An elegant curtain greatly increases the aesthetics of a room and gives an opulent look. On the contrary dirty or ill matched curtains give a room a gloomy look. When the window looks onto a street it is better to give thought to the underside of the curtain as the curtain can be seen from outside and will dictate the appearance of the house.
Types of Curtains.
There are lots of varieties of curtains available in the market today. Few of them are:
Curtain Valance. These have deep frill fabrics framing the window and usually the curtain rod is hidden. They generally have pleated heading. The pleated headings can be decorated using braid, ribbons, tassels and trimmings.
Cascade Curtains. Cascaded curtains consist of two or more curtains hung over the window. The tiers are hung from transoms.
Shirred curtains. These types of curtains have the fabric threaded through curtain rods at the top and bottom.
Tie back curtains. These curtains are gathered at the sides of the window and decoratively tied back at the lower part of the curtain with a sleeve or cord.
Café curtains. These are designed to cover only half of the window and are stationary. They are usually used in kitchens and bathrooms for privacy and are made form scalloped headings.
Pelmets. Pelmets are structures mounted above the windows on which the curtain rod is fixed.
The choice of curtains depends on the purpose for which the curtains are being installed. Color, fabric and style of curtain give the room a formal or informal appearance. There are lots of decorative rods, pelmets, cordings, sleeves, beads, fringes, rings, eyelets available in the market to decorate curtains. Also a thought should be given on safety for floor length curtains when pets and children are present in the house.

How wide would I make a curtain, if my window is 34 in wide.?
are there any simple formulas for figuring this out. i have a valance made already, but that came with the house. (we just moved in) could i just use the width of each panel of the valance for the regular curtain?
btw i've done a lot of sewing, but i've never made curtains, so be really simple.
I've always double the width of the window, plus an inch on each side. Three inches at top for curtain rod, depending on the rod. Two inches for a hem. Hope this helps. You can also check pattern books at fabric stores. Roxanne
