Classic Shower Curtains
The primary function of any shower curtain is to prevent water from ruining the other parts of the bathroom. When a person has a shower there is a tendency for water to splash all over the place especially when a man or children have their shower.
Children are noted for splashing water all over the bathroom floor when they get into a tub of water or stand in a shower area. Shower curtains also added a touch of privacy to the person who was having a shower. This was especially required when people had to share bathrooms.
In the olden days, shower curtains were just seen as something used for practical purposes. People did not give much importance to the colour, design or texture of these curtains. These were viewed only as something necessary.
Today however, people are more conscious about their bathrooms and go to great lengths to beautify their bath area with various attractive accessories. Shower curtains are an important part of today’s bathrooms.

Hanging drapery fabric to your living or dining room windows will add style, control light, and enhance or obscure a view. Drapery panels are usually more formal in appearance, and are mostly heaver than curtain fabric. Typically lined, pleated, and floor-length, drapery curtains are attach by hooks to a decorative rod, and some sort of cord device that hangs behind either the left or right of the drapery panel. Choose complementary treatments in rooms that open to one anther or that share the same style furniture.
If your window styles and sizes vary within a room, use the same fabric but in different fabrications, such as classic swags and draperies. The styles and colors you wear may reveal the color you’re most comfortable living in. Whatever your style preference, don’t let your window treatment’s form obstruct its function. In formal room, choose full, flowing window treatments that complement the fabrics of the furnishings. Use pattern or color to transform a window into a formal point.
For starters, window treatment doesn’t have to be fabric. Either way, don’t overfill the room with fabrics; “less is more” in the design scheme. Choosing the right drapery fabric can make all the difference in fashioning great treatments. There are many ways of hanging sheer drapes, conventionally with a casing or eyelets, or you can use a gathered heading tape with a track or pole. Tall windows in high-ceiling room are perfect candidates for classic drapery and valance treatments.
So before you choose a window covering, consider the way your window open and close. Whatever type of curtain or drapery you select, how you top it and tie it back can have a major impact on your design schemes. Combination treatments give you freedom to manipulate the apparent size and shape of your windows. For the most pleasing look, choose drapery fabric that matches the degree of custom in each room.
