transforming this space with curtains 😍
adding curtains to our dining room window has been the biggest home glow up game changer yet. i’m obsesssed!!!
as a first timer, i didn’t know where to begin. i knew the vision was something warm and transparent, since it was the largest window in the living area and didn’t want to block too much light.
CURTAINS: i did some mild research and went with urban outfitters for the curtains because of the price & aesthetic. Chloe Patchwork Gauze Curtain Panel (size: 52x84) About $42 per panel & I got 2 panels 🧡
ROD: I found most of the rods out there to be metal which is not our vibe so I was on the look for a large wooden rod & bracket set. i ended up balling out a little on a custom one but the size was right for our window and it’s a big part of the space so i wanted to love it.
THE PROCESS: I teated the curtain by draping it over the blinds for a day (or however long it could hold 😂) and loved it. it took some time for the rod & brackets to get here but that comes with the handmade territory.
we ended up placing rod a lil higher than reccomended because Tofu lays down there we wanted it to be a bit more
lifted.
i am soooo glad we moved the way we did because it looks beautiful at all times of day. in love.
Choosing the right curtains can elevate the aesthetic of any room, especially in a dining area that needs to balance light and privacy. For those looking to create a warm atmosphere, consider light fabrics like gauze or muslin. Not only do these materials filter light beautifully, they also maintain a sense of openness that can make a space feel larger. When selecting curtain rods, wooden options can add a rustic touch, complementing various decor styles from modern to farmhouse. It's essential to measure your window accurately—experts recommend adding 10-14 inches to your window opening measurement for optimal rod sizing and visual appeal. This ensures that the curtains hang well and are functional while enhancing your home’s overall design. Don’t forget to consider how your curtains will frame the view outside and the interplay of light throughout different times of day, as this can significantly impact the mood of your space. With thoughtful selections, transforming your dining area with carefully chosen curtains is achievable and rewarding.
Love it!! Beautiful colors!!❤️
