How to Transition Your Home Decor from Traditional to Contemporary with Wave Curtains

 Wave Curtains  are a modern take on a classic curtain style, they work with contemporary and minimalist decor and look great in any room, but especially large living spaces or kitchens. They’re also a fantastic choice for those who don’t have the space for a standard curtain rod above their window.

Curtain headings gather fabric

Wave curtain headings gather fabric along a curve that falls into soft rippling folds, this allows for less fullness in the fabric than other curtain styles and gives the curtains a fluid and elegant look. They’re ideal for those who want to keep their windows open to the view outside and let the light flood in. They’re popular in sleek hotels and can work well in both period and contemporary homes.

Made to measure curtain

As with any made to measure curtain, they need to be accurately measured for a perfect fit, if they’re too big or small they’ll not look as good and can even make the room feel smaller. The fabric you choose is important too – it needs to be suitable for wave curtains, heavy or stiff fabrics wouldn’t work as they’ll not have the structure to form flawless curls. You’ll also need to consider the pattern repeat of your fabric – if it has too many irregularities in the horizontal repeat it will not look smooth when hung.

Fabric is needed for the best look and function 

Amade to measure specialist will know how much fabric is needed for the best look and function of your Wave Curtains, they’ll have experience in fitting this kind of head and will be able to advise you on the amount of fabric to use, which will allow for a neat and crisp stack back off the window. They’ll be able to provide samples of fabrics that will work with your home and offer you a wide range of made to measure options, including blackout lining for those who need privacy.

Conclusion

The beauty of Wave Curtains is they don’t require a curtain pole as they’re fitted on the track, this means they can be used in awkward spaces where it would be impossible to use a standard rod. They’re a great solution for those with bay windows or large floor to ceiling room width windows that you might see in the shows like Dermot Bannon’s Room to Improve. They’ll also work well in smaller rooms as they create a more spacious feel and don’t close the space off like some patterned or heavily textured drapes might. The track system also makes it easy to move the curtains without having to adjust them, you simply move the sliders on the curtain to change the size of your window opening and to move the curtains from side to side to create a different mood. The track system also ensures that the curtains move smoothly and evenly, which will help prevent them from becoming tangled or caught up with each other when they’re open or closed. They’re the ideal way to solve an awkward space problem and create a gorgeous modern interior.
