Curtain Focus

The look of white eyelet curtains is one that is light and refreshing. They can make any dark room look brighter and airier just by being hung in it. The styles available for these delicate types of curtains can be in the shorter length type or the longer full length style. They are most often used as the shorter length type of curtain and work well in a bedroom, bath or kitchen area. The eyelet design refers to a type of lace, which is generally used along the edge or border of a piece of fabric to create a softer look to the item.

This particular style is often used in the kitchen as a café style of window treatment. The window is curtained in two sections with this type of design. A rod is generally placed at the top of your window while the second rod is attached about midway. The white eyelet curtain is purchased in panels to shirr onto the rod. The panels are used for the bottom section and traditional tie back curtain pieces are used for the top. The panels are shorter and you may place several to create a ruffled appearance.

When used in a bathroom, a similar type of style may be used if your window area is large enough to accommodate two rods. Most bathroom windows are not very large so people will generally only use the longer tie back curtain portions, which will be hung on a rod at the top of the window. For a bathroom look, you can use a coordinating shade or blind to create more of a light filtering effect. When using the traditional style of curtains you might decide to use a valance or topper piece with them.

The valance is used in conjunction with the top curtains and goes on a rod, which is over the first top rod. You will see some specially designed two rod items made just for this type of treatment for the window. To coordinate your bath area you may purchase a complimentary white eyelet shower curtain. This will generally come as a fabric outer piece, which includes an inner vinyl lining. To create a fresh outdoor feel for your bath area, you could place several green plants in the room. The combination of the white with the green will make your bathroom feel very light and fresh every time you use it.
