[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sort of a curtain snob. I love a good curtain. I like them full, nice fabric and lined. With thick rods as well. I hate store bought curtains, especially those ones in your link. They look cheap and they aren't lined. Also, when you purchase them pre made, they normally won't hit the floor correctly and will be either too short or too long. What I normally do when I'm looking for inspiration: go to Calico Corners or fabric.com and look for fabrics. I pick 3 colors per room (geometric, print and a solid) and make the curtain panels out of one of those fabrics. The other fabrics would go on pillows or side chairs. Making curtains isn't very hard and you can teach yourself. Luckily, straight curtains are very in style right now and they're also the easiest to make. [/quote] +1. Most store-bought curtains look cheap, even though they can be costly. Another easy option is plantation shutters. It's a different look but classic.[/quote]
