Fourteen years ago, I couldn’t care less on how our house looks from the inside. My mother is the one in charge of arranging and re-arranging our furniture. She has all the say on what color the rooms of our house would be. She buys the curtains, the bed sheets, and the blankets. And I am very happy she does all that because I wasn’t interested in furnitures and other things needed to make our house look good.
My interest started when I got married. My husband and I stayed with my parents in my old room. Then my husband started working abroad. I didn’t know how it started but it just did one day. I got inspired and had our room repainted. I bought new curtains, pillowcases, and bed sheets. It was a total room make-over and I was happy with the results.
I learned a lot about curtains ever since I started buying them myself.
- Curtains can change how a room looks .You may never believe me but they can do wonders to a room. You can change the mood of a room from romantic to whimsical to classy just by changing your curtains. You just have to take into consideration the fabric, color, and style.
- Consider what you want with your curtains. Do you want them to fall just right into the windowsill or drop until the floor for a more elegant effect. Do you want sheer curtains to allow more natural light to go in?
- Buy curtains from store that carries curtains of different material, make, and style. You can buy curtains from Divisoria, SM, or at the textile factory. You can also try buying curtains online, to make sure you are getting your money’s worth.
Now that we are moving into a new home soon, I’m starting to think about what kind of curtains should I buy for it. Any suggestions?

indeed curtains gives a nice fresh look or elegant look to our house. Here in our condo unit we use those blinds i forgot what you call it. as it is very expensive to bring those thick curtains we have in our bedrooms ot the laundry hehe
I’m looking forward to buying new curtains for our soon to be home.
I love curtains and if I have a new house, definitely curtains will be on top of my priority. It brings a a big difference to the house.
Yeah, curtains sets the mood of a room.
I used to love curtains too. I mean, we used to have them on our windows but lately my mom doesn’t care about them anymore. Maybe I should tell her to put the curtains back on our windows…
Yeah, I think you should. Curtains make a room beautiful.
I haven’t bought curtains in a long time. That’s because we live in a small condo unit now with not a lot of windows, so the old ones that I bought early on in our marriage are still the ones I’m currently using at home.
If they still look good, I see no reason why you should buy new ones.
I love curtains as well – we used to have blinds but we stopped using those and switch to curtains now – I just love it.
Cheers to that Aisha!
Curtains can really change how the room look. My mother normally different kind of curtain on different occasions. When it’s Christmas time – it’s normally red, During summer season – It’s normally white or laces,
I agree. Putting up curtains in different colors can change the mood of a room.
Adding curtains can prettify one’s home in an instant. I prefer light colored curtains in any room.
I prefer earth colored ones.
I noticed that the darker the curtain shade, the colder it gets inside the room, though darker but hey, in times like this, anything that can make a room colder is good 🙂
