Curtains, also known as a drape or draperies, is a long piece of plain or colorful fabric hung on a rod to cover a window. Mainly used for privacy and to block or obscure light drafts, there are many different styles and types of ready-made curtains to choose from when shopping. Draperies and curtains, door curtains and shower curtains come in a variety of fabrics, sizes, colors and patterns.http://www.1920-30.com/interior-decorating/decorative-draperies/drapery-history.html

In most department stores curtains and window treatments are in a huge section of the store with quality curtains and drapes on the shelves. There are several specialty shops where the only products are curtains; living room curtains, lined curtains that are of the best quality, beaded curtains and valances. All other items are also related to curtains.http://www.1920-30.com/interior-decorating/decorative-draperies/drapery-history.html

The types of curtains used in a room greatly affect the look and lighting of the room. For rooms used during the day that require good lighting, like sewing rooms, get curtains that let in plenty of light. Cafe curtains and sheer curtains let in a large amount of light yet provide some privacy. For rooms used at night or rooms where light may disrupt the use of the room, such as a nursery, consider heavier curtains to block out the light coming in during the day and provide privacy at night.
