5 curtain ideas for small windows

Bold curtains can transform a space in more ways than one, especially when it comes to small windows. By making your curtains the focal point of a room, you’ll take the attention away from the windows actual size whether it's a small window or a large window. Try a pop of contrasting colour to make your curtains stand out.

Alternatively, embrace a minimalistic design to avoid overwhelming the small window. Simple and clean lines contribute to a streamlined appearance, preventing the curtains from visually crowding the limited space.

Using solid colours or subtle patterns in your window treatment can work well in maintaining a sleek and uncluttered feel.

Strategically placed curtain poles and tracks can help narrow windows appear wider by tricking the mind into thinking part of your wall is really glass. Hang curtains either side of the window frame to maximise both the light coming in and the view going out.

You can create the illusion your window is taller too, by positioning your curtain pole as close as possible to your ceiling as possible, and adding full length curtains. 

At your in-home appointment, your local advisor will help you choose the right solutions for your space, plus take care of all the complex measuring and fitting to get the look you want.

Consider floor-length curtains even for small windows.

Allowing the curtains to extend from the top to the floor gives the illusion of taller windows, adding a touch of elegance and creating a seamless visual flow and giving a more sophisticated and polished look.

Combining window blinds with curtains can give the illusion of height too, particularly when the blinds are raised towards the top. If you choose eye-catching, luxurious fabrics like velvet, nobody will notice your window is on the small side.
