Creating your Own Handmade Curtains

Handmade curtains are getting a lot of popularity not only in the United Kingdom, but also around the globe. Some people might think that all curtains are handmade. There are some that are created by machines and there are some that are personally made and hand crafted by professional sewers.

You can’t really say that it is rare to find handmade curtains, but it is difficult to know whether a curtain is handmade or not. If you think that making a handmade curtain is really hard, here is a simple do-it-yourself technique to create a simple curtain with amazing designs.

Buying the Cloth and Choosing the Design

Buying the cloth and choosing the colour and design is a very important factor when creating handmade curtains. If you want to find high quality cloths with great designs, it is best to look at the products of Kurtinz as they offer the best on the market today.

Make sure that the cloth that you will choose will complement the design of your house. Well, you don’t want to adjust the design of the house just because you made the wrong choice when it comes to the fabric.

Do not choose a fabric with only a single design on the other side. Make sure that both sides have the same design.

Prepare the Measurements

After buying the fabric and choosing an appropriate design for the curtain, the next step is to prepare the measurements. This is dependent on the size of your window and the type of curtain that you want to put. You can consider curtains that are covering a wide area including a part of the wall or you can create a curtain that will only cover the window itself.

Most people choose curtains that also cover a part of the wall since it is quite elegant. Start by measuring the parts of the window, but make sure to put an allowance before cutting the fabric. Try to put an allowance for the top part because the rod will be inserted in it.

Start Sewing

This is the hardest part of the process, especially if you don’t know anything about sewing. You need a sewing machine because doing it manually may cause problems in the design.

Put the fabric in the machine and sew the sides first. You can also add a lining, but make sure that that it is located at the wrong side of the fabric. Make sure that the layers are aligned properly and hold on to the pattern and follow it slowly until you finish sewing. Make sure that you will not lost track of the pattern because you will have to redo everything when it happens.

You can always add other designs on the curtain but it will be more advanced. This is definitely the simplest way to make handmade curtains. It is not as elegant as the curtains that you can buy from Kurtinz, but the looks and appearance will definitely complement your interior design.

Traditional Family House Made of Sandstone Project DG in Spain

 DG House is a residential project completed by Iñigo Esparza Arquitecto in Navarre, Spain. House looks traditional, boasting two volumes made of sandstone. Surrounded by a fence on which plants can climb, the house features a private terrace and a porch for lounging and relaxing. In the hot summer days, a cold drink and a book is all you need to keep your soul happy. Ground floor of the house, accommodating the kitchen, living room and dining room, was envisioned as a unified social area, encouraging interaction and activities of all kinds. It’s airy, well-lit and most important, connected to the porch and the adjacent public garden.

 “Towards the main facade, a stripe containing the service area, laundry and garage ensures the privacy of the house. The volume of the first floor holds the night-area, with three bedrooms facing the garden (south-west) leaving the dressing-room and bathrooms towards the main facade. Finally the basement contains a multi-purpose space and the facilities room.” The back of the house offers a little bit more privacy to the residents. A swimming pool landscaped with local plants was also part of the plan.

Stylish Eclectic Loft With Clusters Of Art And Framed Photographs

The most creative homes usually belong to designers or artists because they know what they want and how to express it in the best way. I can say that about this home of fashion designer David Delfín and architect-turned-photographer Gorka Postigo in Madrid, Spain. This unique loft with breathtaking high ceilings has been filled with contrasts, provocation and tons of creativity. The space is an eclectic mix that blends a mid-century modern style with a soft industrial backdrop. White painted wooden floors, walls, ceilings and beams douse the entire space in a Scandinavian look and feel, while clusters of art and framed photographs add a sense of modernity. What an incredible job!

Have you seen temples of Cambodia? They really impress with their fantastic architecture; built many centuries ago they are still standing. Perhaps the most popular of them is Angkor Wat, a beautiful temple in the capital of the country that was built in the 12th century. There the tree roots and branches overrun the wall, and iIt inspired Olivier Dollé for creating Angkor Table Design Collection. The table features a multiplex birch wood structure finished in veneered wood dyed in black. It’s leaning leg imitates a natural branch motion and is veneered in oak as is the branch table top. The three black legs are furnished with oak feet. Available as a coffee table, dining table and writing desk, the project is an interesting addition for a large array of modern interiors.

Surrounded by nature elements, the massive crib makes for a great city escape. Diversity is the key attribute for this contemporary home design: “Although this project has many different languages, themes and spaces, we managed to find a a way to create harmony. By extensive use of glass, the environment is also integrated in the scheme and many different elements can become one“. Enjoy the virtual tour and let us know what you think!
