Window Curtains

Pink Curtains

For a touch of indulgence, pink window curtains and drapes are wonderful. They are such a very feminine style of decoration and and a glorious way to celebrate your feminine side. Pink curtains are great, of course, for a nursery for a baby girl or your daughter’s room, but you can also use them in more grown up style rooms if you use a grown up color and fabric such as hot pink curtains in a suede textured fabric or a pink sheer curtain. And if your other half is not too keen on an all pink room or the pink curtain design you set your heart on, you can always use a fabric with just a touch of pink to indulge your taste a little!

You will find a number of other colors mixed with pink, and various combinations come and go in the interior design magazines. Recently pink and brown curtains have been cropping up a lot so you might find a number of patterns incorporating those colors. And pink and green curtains are a perennial favorite, probably because of the mix of rose pink flowers and green leaves which occur so much in nature. You will find an example of pink floral curtains with those colors below.

When you buy pink curtains, don’t get carried away by your love for the color, check out the quality of fabric too as cheap pink curtains may not hang well and even if you want to save money on your curtains, you don’t want them to look too cheap. It would be better to save by choosing a style which uses less fabric. Pink tab top curtains would fit into this category. Alternatively choose an inexpensive cotton fabric for unlined curtains which can work well in informal rooms. A simple pink gingham curtain for example would not be too expensive, but looks fresh and pretty.

5 Strategies for Cheap Curtains Online

It is easy enough to find cheap curtains online in fact there are some very cheap curtains on the web which you can find with a quick search and a little browsing. But the problem is that you don’t really want your curtains to look cheap, you want quality window curtains at a low price. There is a big difference! So you need to employ the right strategy, so you get a great deal rather than shoddy curtains. Here are five things you can do, to buy cheap window curtains that look expensive.

1. Look for Brands

One of the best ways to save money and know you are getting quality curtains is by find a brand of curtain and a design that you like in a local store and then look for it online. You will find a number of sites which specialize in offering discount curtains by well-known manufacturers and you can save over ten per cent on store retail prices without having to do too much searching and probably a lot more if you spend a little more time comparing prices.

2. Go Sheer

If privacy is not an issue for you, then use lighter fabrics at your windows which are nearly always less expensive than heavy cotton or linen curtains especially as these are usually lined. Cheap sheer curtains can look wonderful and give your room an up to the minute romantic look. Don’t go for plain old cheap net curtains, however, choose colored sheers or sheers with a little embroidery which are still less expensive than heavier curtains. Similarly cheap lace curtains, which are now so inexpensive as the lace is made by machine, can look fantastic as long as they are kept pristine white with regular laundering.

3. Buy at Auction Sites

You will find cheap ready made curtains on many e-commerce sites on the web, but you will generally get the best discounts on auction sites such as eBay where hundreds of sellers are vying with each other for your business. You don’t have to spend your time bidding on auctions unless you have time for that as you will find many cheap curtains for sale under the “Buy it Now” system where you pay a fixed price and clinch the deal right away. Buy curtains from a seller with a good reputation and a great returns policy and you cannot go far wrong.

4. Purchase Fabric Online

Rather than buying ready made curtains, purchase cheap curtain fabric online and have this made up by a local curtain maker. This will often work out cheaper than buying curtains online, especially if the local curtain maker is you! Curtains are not difficult to make if you have basic sewing skills but don’t tackle them if you are not confident you can do a good job as that is a way to waste money rather than save it.

5. Go Full (or Less Full)

You can make a cheap window curtain look expensive by allowing extra width in the curtain panels. The cheapest fabric used lavishly looks better and costs less than an expensive curtain fabric where you can’t quite afford enough to gather the curtains properly. Instead of buying cheap curtain panels which are one and half times the width you might usually use, buy those which are twice the width for a fuller effect. Alternatively, to save money buy tab top or eyelet curtains which are not gathered as much as curtains with normal headings to be able to purchase a higher quality fabric without the curtains costing too much.
