Curtains are more than simply a functional home accessory; they're also an important design element that can completely alter the look and mood of a room, acting as the final layer that completes it. They offer just the appropriate touch of home while blocking noise and offering privacy. So which curtains are the most suitable? Ashley has you (and your windows) covered, from colours to materials!


  • Pick the right fabric type.

  • Although textures, colours, and patterns help you make decisions because you know what aesthetic you want, the types of fabric are the most crucial. Fabrics come in a variety of styles, each with its own set of pros and cons.


    The considerations of fabric type will influence how your curtains fall, while certain fabrics are preferable for different rooms for your home! As Malaysia's weather can be hot and humid, we suggest fabrics composed of synthetic fibres or a combination of both man-made and natural fibres.


  • The colours or patterns of your choice.

  • Your curtains’ colours or patterns should ideally complement the other colours of the furnishings. Depending on your preferred style, you can choose curtains that either go well with the decor or stand out against it. Choose a colour that makes the most of the space, whether it's to create an elegant appearance or to make the curtain a statement in the room.


    A basic curtain might be the ideal counterpoint if your décor is already colourful. But patterned curtains could add the finishing touch if you think the space is missing something.


  • The perfect length.

  • Your curtains' dimensions matter! Don't forget about this, as the way your curtains fall has a big impact on the aesthetic of your space. The current trend is for curtains to fall precisely to the floor. If you prefer a more dramatic appearance, you can choose a curtain size that is just a little longer so that the curtains sway on the floor. For greater safety, it is preferable to chop off a few inches above the floor especially if you have children or pets!


  • Suitable curtain rods.

  • Curtain rods are more than simply a functional piece of hardware; they can provide visual flair and help spruce up your windows. Curtain rods are extensible, which means you can change their length. Make certain that it is the correct size so that the curtain panels can be hung beautifully. Curtain rods are available in a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and plastic, so be sure your rod matches your curtains!
