Final Thoughts…

Choosing curtains for your bedroom is the finishing touch that will pull everything in your design together, so it’s worth spending some time to find the perfect set. 

Many studies have shown that sleeping in complete darkness can help you get a better night’s sleep, so blackout curtains are always a great choice for the bedroom. If you prefer the look of sheer curtains, you can always add in a discreet blackout roller blind behind your curtains.

When you measure for curtains, remember to choose curtains that are at least two times the width of your window, to ensure they hang properly. This will give your curtains a nice full look, even when they are drawn.
