Title: Color, Texture and Style: Decorating your Outdoor Living Space with Curtains

Color, Texture, Style,
Decorating Your Outdoor Living Space With
Curtains
2
  • On the following pages, we are going to explore
    how to elevate your style by bringing curtains
    outdoors. Well give you the best tips and tricks
    to accomplish this relatively easy and
    inexpensive design element.

3
The Colors
  • Over the past several years, the majority of
    designers have been choosing solid curtain panels
    in white or neutrals.
  • Many designers are now stepping out of that trend
    and choosing bolder colors to tie the space
    together.
  • Pick out colors from your other pieces and find
    curtains that highlight those same colors in your
    theme.

4
The Styles
  • Whether you go with neutrals or bright colors,
    you can always add another layer of design with
    prints, florals, or stripes. Also consider having
    pillow shams made in the same fabric to really
    pull the look together.

5
The Rods
  • The rod is as important as the curtains. When
    choosing a rod, make sure that it is made for an
    outdoor space. You can also visit a hardware
    store and buy galvanized pipes to use as your
    rods they can come in many colors, do not rust,
    and can hold the weight of even the heaviest of
    curtains.

6
The Headers
  • Curtains have many different ways of hanging
  • Pocket Rod The simplest to create, the most
    traditional, and the best if you dont want to
    show the rod.
  • Button-Hole This, like the pocket, is
    traditional but allows you to have the rod on
    display.
  • Tab Tops They lend themselves well to outdoor
    spaces that have country motifs.
  • Grommets The most modern and contemporary, they
    come in different colors, so you can match the
    rod.

7
The Function
  • Remember to keep in mind that you may want your
    curtains to be more than just stylish.
  • Choose your fabric based on what you want from
    it shade, privacy, or defense against the
    elements.

8
The Details
  • Think about remote controlled curtainsallowing
    you to open and close the panels from the comfort
    of your own seat.
  • If you live in a windy area or choose a very thin
    material, a good option to keep your curtains
    from flying around is to add small weights to the
    bottom heavy washers work well for this.

9
A Second Look Hooks and Rope
  • If you want to venture out into more
    unconventional territory, try decorative hooks or
    rope.
  • Hooks make your curtains stationary and add
    architectural interest to your outdoor space.
  • Rope will give your curtains a shabby chic or
    rustic look.
  • Either way, dont be afraid to experiment.
