Gingham Curtains
There is something about the simplicity of gingham which appeals when it comes to decorating. It has a homely country feel to it which makes gingham window curtains ideal for the nursery or kitchen especially in a country style home. You can easily imagine the sun shining through your window and smell the wheat in the fields when you add yellow gingham curtains!
Gingham check fabric also has a freshness about it due to the simple mixing of the shades of one color with white in a tiny check. This fabric mixes well with other designs in similar colors so you will find some curtains mixing a floral pattern with a similar shade in gingham, for example. This works very well to give a coordinated look. You could take up the same idea and use the gingham from your curtains in a border for a cushion cover or two, for example.

Bathroom Window Curtains
Bathrooms are usually quite small rooms which lend themselves to simple window curtains or blinds. As a rule, you do not want to go too far over the top with your bathroom window treatments, in any case, as all the steam in the air can mean that bathroom curtains tend to get dirty quickly and need frequent laundering. On the other hand, don’t waste the opportunity to inject some color with your bathroom window curtains, particularly if you have a plain white bathroom, which most of us do these days.
If possible, match your window curtains with your shower curtain for a coordinated look. Although you can buy vinyl bathroom window curtains, it is not necessary to make a bathroom window curtain waterproof. If you can’t find matching shower curtains, you can always make (or have made) both the curtains for the window and the shower in the same (non-waterproof) fabric and then use a plain white shower curtain lining inside the fabric curtain in your shower. You will also find some window curtain/shower curtain bathroom sets available although it can be tricky to get the exact combination you are looking for in terms of colors and sizes so look for those where the window curtains come in various sizes.
Look for short sill length curtains for your bathroom window as the bathroom needs an informal look. In many cases, with all the fixtures in a bathroom, long curtains would be impractical even if you wanted them. Polyester-cotton or cotton curtains are good choices as these fabrics are generally easy to care for but do make sure that the curtains are pre-shrunk (or that you buy them slightly longer than normal) to allow for shrinkage when you first wash them. An inch or two can make all the difference to curtains looking good or too short. Bear this in mind if you make your own bathroom curtains too and wash and press the fabric before you begin or leave long hems so that you can adjust them after the first laundering.

Of course, curtains are not the only choice when it comes to bathroom window coverings. You could consider shutters, blinds and shades of all kinds as these give the required simple look to your bathroom window too. Roller blinds are particularly simple to hang and operate although roman shades would work well too. In general, bathroom curtains have a homelier feel than blinds so they are great for country or family bathrooms. If your bathroom is ultra sleek and contemporary, however, then a blind is probably more in keeping and may be the window covering of choice although simple tab top curtains can work well in a bathroom like this too.
