window treatment

today's post is going to be about window treatments. this topic is going to help me in reality because we are moving soon and my mom wants me to find window treatments that would go with the house. personally curtains are my favourite. they can be long and sleek or big and filling. curtains are very elegant and would work well with big windows. also the curtains are made out of fabric so would soften the room and make it more welcoming.












roman shades are next. this is the first time i've seen this design and i really like it. unlike curtains and drapes, roman shades are more clean and doesn't clutter the room with the hanging extra fabric. i particularly liked how the roman shades are used in this design picture. roman shades are lighter because there is less fabric and it is more modern. i think it would be more ideal to use these in small windows. i think i just might get these for my new room !

& the last window treatment i chose to write about are the ordinary blinds. blinds are very common because it's cheaper and simple. i think overall these are the most useful and practical one although they don't look the best. they can be adjusted to any height and the blinds can open up or close blocking the sun out. they can be made out of slats of fabric, metal, plastic or wood. the most common ones i see are the white metal ones which i also have in my current room.











VOCABULARY:

• finial: the artistic figure used as a decoration at the end of curtains, flags or even buildings.

• tie back: the piece of fabric, hook, or any other material that hold the curtain back when it's drawn.

• curtain liners: i am not sure if i'm correct but according to what i found, curtain liners are curtains but for showers.

• valence: just like valence electrons in science, valance are the outter part of curtains. it is above the curtains and covers the rod. it adds more detail to the curtains.

• grommets: the rings that are put into the hole of fabrics for curtains so that the curtains don't rip.
