The fabric of a healthy life

       Apart from serving its "protective function" to the interior of a house, curtains also play a vital role as one of the most popular decorative items deemed indispensable in many households.
       Advisably, it's somewhat necessary for house owners to be more fastidious when it comes to picking the right curtains for the right room since different styles emanate different feelings, impressions and even the personal taste of the owners.
       Living room
       Comparatively, a living room is like the showcase of the house where curtains will be first and frequently seen, both by the residents themselves and their guests.So curtain choice for this room must be beautiful and, absolutely, remarkable which can make the entire room more livable.
       To maintain congruence of the living room with the whole ambiance of the house, curtains in this zone must be in line with the main decorative concept of the house.
       "Curtains now come in various styles such as classic, contemporary, and modern. Before selecting any pattern, home owners must make sure that the curtains are compatible with the overall concept of the house," explained Sirichai.
       According to Sirichai, for those who plan to buy a new house, the first thing they have to consider is the style of their house. After choosing their place of residence, they can then choose three or four desirable colours paralleled with the hue of furniture, decorative items, and curtains.The last yet most crucial step is to select the pattern of curtain and type of fabric.
       Bedroom
       The bedroom is one of the most private places so a home owner can pick any curtain style or colour that suits their personal taste. But what they have to take into serious consideration is that curtains suitable in the bedroom must be able to filter light from outside.
       Normally, bedroom curtains are designed to have two layers of cloth. The thicker piece will be at the front while the thinner and airier piece is at the back.This kind of curtain allows some light to get into the room during the day so people in the room can see outside from within.
       "Some people do enjoy sleeping in total darkness. Now there are many styles of bedroom curtains. They are thicker and more opaque than normal designs.
       "But for those who feel uncomfortable in a completely dark room but still prefer less light, curtains with a darker tone are ideal since they can block the light that can irritate their eyes. Besides, such kinds of curtains are pleasing to the eyes, too,"explained the curtain designer.
       Dining room
       Now many houses are designed to have the dining room adjacent to the living room so it's more convenient to hang a similar kind of fabric but the pattern should be slightly different to make the room more proportionate. Most importantly,the shade of curtains in the dining room must be bright and lively since a darker tone can make members of the family lose their appetite.
       "The dining room also plays a vital role for a healthy life. It's not exaggerated to say that its style, design, and tone absolutely have an effect on our eating routine. Nice and stylish curtains can help us relish our meal," stressed Sirichai.
       Stairway hall
       For any houses that have high and long windows in the area of the stairway,curtains used for this area must be eyecatching since it is the most noticeable spot of the house.
       According to Sirichai, curtains used to decorate the hall at the stairs come in countless styles and they are all popular among curtain lovers. But whether the curtains will look magnificent or not depends heavily on whether they are hung properly.
       "Though the windows in the stairway hall are small and short, we can hang longer curtains to make the windows look higher and larger.
       "The curtains can be more graceful with other accessories like a chic pendant used to tie the curtains or silver hooks used to hang the curtains," explained Sirichai.
       Other rooms like the children's or for elderly people also need suitable curtains since its mood can affect emotions.
       Curtains used in a child's room should be bright in tone while those used in an elderly person's room should look solemn and simple.
       "All home owners should bear in mind that beauty is not enough when it comes to the selection of curtains. You must consider their practical function, price,and materials used.
       "Most importantly, fabric used to design curtains must be friendly to our health. It must be more endurable and not easily gather dust," emphasised the curtain master.
