They are held out of the way of the window by means of curtain tie-backs. Curtains may be operated by hand, with cords, by press-button pads or remote-controlled computers. They often have their own sections within department stores, while some shops are completely dedicated to selling curtains.Ĭurtains vary according to cleanability, ultraviolet light deterioration, oil and dust retention, noise absorption, fire resistance, and life span. Curtains come in a variety of shapes, materials, sizes, colors, and patterns. Curtains hung over a doorway are known as portières. In this application, they are also known as "draperies".
For instance, at night to aid sleeping, or to stop light from escaping outside the building (stopping people outside from being able to see inside, often for privacy reasons).
#Curtain to cover wall windows#
Ĭurtains are often hung on the inside of a building's windows to block the passage of light. A curtain is also the movable screen or drape in a theater that separates the stage from the auditorium or that serves as a backdrop/background. Theatre curtains on a small stage (Canberra Albert Hall, 2016)Ī curtain is a piece of cloth or other material intended to block or obscure light, air drafts, or (in the case of a shower curtain), water.
#Curtain to cover wall free#
the size of the wall space needed to pull the curtains free of the window is called the 'stack back' and is affected by the thickness of the curtain fabric.with very thick curtains including separate liners we've allowed between 45cm-60cm on both sides of our windows (up to about 5m wide) and the effect is excellent although, for some windows and a sliding door, it was better to pull the curtain in only one direction with a 60cm stack back on one side. Good luck, I hope I have been helpful :DĬongratulations for thinking about this detail, such a shame to pay for extra wide windows that are always covered by curtains. The bench would be used to hold that gorgeous clock and some of those special pictures that you have on show. I'm sorry to say that the ducks would sadly have to be ditched. I don't know what colour carpet you intend to have laid so it is difficult to suggest a colour palette however I am a huge fan of charcoal and timber: I would paint the back wall only in charcoal much like the colour above to give a sense of depth. or if your cabinetmaker has some clever friends maybe something like this: I would also remove the light fitting poking out of the left of the picture. I would then ask the cabinetmaker to make more streamlined cupboard doors as I find the vertical lines in the current doors detract from the wall panelling. I would then extend the top shelf to match the other two long shelves and replace the baseboard so it is continuous. I'm thinking something like this: I would then find a cabinet maker to change the cd shelves and open shelves underneath to match the cupboards already in place and put in a continuous benchtop along the top of the cupboards.
My first suggestion is to sand the beams back to their natural wood because I feel that the darkness of the beams is competing too heavily with the timber of the rest of the room. I find that because of all the dark, heavy timber the panelling is getting a bit lost (I lived in a house like this in Eltham many years ago and at the time loved it.but it's a bit dated these days) As I can't make out the layout of the room my suggestions are based solely on the picture you have provided. If this was my room I would likely make a feature of the wall panels and work around that. Hi Katrina, I really love the horizontal wood panelling I think it's a great feature and from the look of it dark beams with upstairs floor timber on show.
