CAN CUSTOM CURTAINS REALLY MAKE THAT BIG OF A DIFFERENCE?
I FINALLY DID IT, GUYS!
Over the past few weeks, I’ve made tons of changes around my home to try to make it feel elevated, cozy, and inviting. You guys know I love adding texture into my spaces, so I honestly wasn’t sure how I would feel about getting rid of the bamboo shades… but I have never been SO HAPPY to be SO WRONG.
Let’s just take a momenttt for these curtains! These are the new Sabrina heavyweight linen curtain by Curtarra in the Dove White fabric! The fabric is SO GOOD - it has these stunning specs of light brown tones in them - they look like sand! They still give a TON of texture to the space and really elevate my bedroom as a whole!!! I truly cannot believe how big of a difference they made.
Take a look at this before picture with just my bamboo shades!
The only thing I wish is that they were a liiiittle bit more blackout. They are definitely room darkening, but we like to feel like we are sleeping in a cave & these are not (nor do they claim to be) blackout.
Here are the deets of my specific curtains:
Sabrina Linen Blend curtains
Dove White fabric
Pinch pleat double header
Size: 30” wide x 94” long
And, of course, I wouldn’t leave y’all hanging without a BH pro tip:
When measuring for curtains, I personally love to take my curtains allll the way up to the ceiling (or at LEAST 12 inches above the trim, if possible). It elongates the window and makes the room feel so much TALLER & elevates the entire look. As far as width, I like to go about about 8-12” on both sides for the width! Since my windows in my bedroom are so close to the side of the wall, I didn’t have much wiggle room bringing them out width wise, but as you can tell, I did bring the curtain rod up all the way to the ceiling!
One thing I loved when I was ordering from Curtarra is the Measurement Tool they have. It walks you through the entire process on how to measure your width and length, how you want them to drape the floor, etc! And then they will calculate your curtain measurements for you!! Takes all the guess work out!
Traditionally, custom curtains have been SO EXPENSIVE. I saw someone say they were quoted over 10K for curtains for their bedroom alone from other companies, which blew my miiiiind!!
But Curtarra has truly come through with providing affordable options! They hang sooooo beautifully and when you take them out of the package, they are already trained. And the best part? They are available on Amazon! Win win! Right?!?
I would LOVEEE to know if you try them out and how you like them!!
XOXO,
