Velvet is the kind of fabric that automatically draws the attention of your guests. Velvet curtains are soft and heavy they offer a luxuriant and soft look to the room and helps to keep the light out and maintain the temperature
within the room.
Velvet is produced by weaving fabrics with artificial fiber such as polyester or natural fiber such as cotton. It is woven in a way to give a feeling of furriness, depth and richness. Velvet offers a
strong contrast between dark and light color of the fabric when one brushes ones hand over the fabric. Flowing like a cascade of water and darkening the room completely once they are drawn makes velvet curtains ideal for
bedrooms.
Choice of Fabric:
Your choice of the fabric will depend on the color of the room as well as the privacy that is required. If you want the room to be dimly lit then choose a dark color fabric this
will keep the light out as well as offer the room a dim, soothing effect. Velvet being the heavy material that it is will block out all the light and offer the most privacy to the room. And if you wish the room to be bright you
still have a variety of colors to choose from. The styles and ways to decorate the window with Velvet are immense. Velvet can be draped over the window, scalloped or gathered at the middle and tied to the side of the window. Plain
drapes or tiered from the top will both give the window a rich classy look.
Maintenance:
The size of the window is also a consideration for velvet curtains as they are a very expensive proposition for window
coverings. Maintenance is not an easy task either. Most velvet just cannot be washed. They have to be dry cleaned and dusted very frequently if you live in a dusty environment, as the fabric tends to trap dust. A curtain lining
will offer a lot of protection to the curtain from damage caused by dust and sunlight, especially the dark colored curtains.
Whatever your choice of velvet you can be sure of the complements you will receive once you have put the up.
