Curtains aren’t just for windows anymore; these textiles while traditionally used as window coverings can add a whole new level of unexpected depth and style to your home when used in untraditional ways!

Curtain Panels As Shelf And Closet Coverings

Having shelving and display space is amazing but it can become overwhelming in a small space, especially if it is not particularly organized. For a seamless look try matching or coordinating with your window coverings, and adding a curtain panel as an easy cover up for shelving. Effortlessly pull back the curtains when you are in the mood to display your belongings, or keep things covered and send out a polished minimalist vibe.

Many homes are equipped with built in storage ‘closets’ without doors, keep things tidy by adding a curtain panel; you can even add tiebacks to make closet access easier!

Try concealing any storage area in your home you would rather not have on display using curtain panels. By adding a tension rod with some shortened curtain panels, or cafe curtains, under a desk or cabinet you can hide any less attractive supplies or cords. Your Pedestal sink can even be enclosed with some panels to create more storage in your bathroom!

**Tip: Try sticking to a solid neutral color and a luxe fabric like these crushed satin panels. The solid colors will allow you more variety in the rest of your decor and the expensive looking fabric will elevate any room!

Curtain Panels In The Bedroom

Looking to add some elegance and sophistication to your bedroom but want to do it on a budget? Curtain panels are an inexpensive and luxurious way to add a little something extra to your bedroom.

Headboards can really help make or break the look and feel of your bedroom but can be expensive, instead of breaking the bank try hanging a curtain behind your bed. The textile will add an element of depth and richness to the rest of your bedroom. Remember to chose a curtain panel that will complement the style of your room:

• For a romantic and flowy feel try a sheer panel.
• If your room is a bit plain and you want to liven it up a bit, try a bold printed or colored panel.
• For a more neutral look try hanging a textured curtain to add more warmth to the room.

Canopies are another great way to pull together a bedroom and make it more visually appealing and best of all you do not need a canopy bed to pull it off! Either go full out and surround your bed will 4-8 long panels attached to ceiling rods or take a more subtle approach and just use three at the head of your bed (one as a ‘headboard’ and one on either side of the bed). No matter which option you choose your bedroom is sure to look amazing!

Curtain Panels As Room Dividers

Maybe you are living in a loft or maybe you just need to create some temporary room dividers - whatever the reason, curtain panels can help create soft and stylish partitions. Because they hang from the ceiling they can offer more privacy than your traditional folding screens, just make sure you measure your ceiling height and order appropriately sized panels.

If you want to take these temporary walls to the next level try layering a few styles and sizes of coordinating curtains on two or three parallel ceiling rods. For instance, imagine combining a solid background panel, with a sheer overlay and perhaps even a fun thread curtain on top. Layering the panels will create depth and visual interest similar to having hung art, but with a soft sumptuous feel and the bonus of practicality and privacy!
