Curtains and blinds are the most used window dressings. Usually the choice between the two is made depending on the type of décor that the room has. It is not customary to use curtains or blinds for the entire home. You can use curtains in one room and blinds in another room in accordance with the character of the room.
Innovative thinking gives exclusivity to any home décor. So be creative in draping your window and see how it is appreciated by visitors. Take your kitchen for example. Kitchen windows are usually small and draped with lace or net café curtains which let the light enter but provide privacy.
However, these curtains are more prone to getting dirty. So instead of the café curtains you can use light coloured blinds which are dust and fire resistant. This will be more appropriate for kitchens with smaller areas as blinds are sleek and make any room look more spacious.
Using blinds in your kitchen does not prevent you from using elaborately rich curtains in your drawing room. Such rooms usually have larger space and are furnished with comfortable and heavy sofa sets that are well complemented by sophisticated silk curtains.
On the other hand, if your living room is furnished with modern, sleek, convertible futons then you can use metal hue blinds to make your room look more modern. So do not bottle up your creativity and use different techniques to drape your windows.
