Curtains Aren't Just for Windows -- Here's How Designers Are Using Them to Make Any Room Feel Layered

Statement curtains are getting used as more than window coverings, according to designers featured by Real Simple Home. In a Charlevoix-style vestibule concept, designer Matthew Tsang added café curtains in floral fabric from Two Pages to complement a Sherwin-Williams Celery wall color, using a tension rod for an easy switch by season. For a tech-free “analog room,” Marie Cloud of Indigo Pruitt lined the full window wall with 10 velvet panels, creating a continuous soft surface that also absorbs sound and blocks light. In the primary bedroom, Will Glaser and Aubrey Ament of Glam Studio hung a drop cloth behind the bed inspired by the Brooklyn Academy of Music, describing it as a DIY project using hooks and nails.
