'What do your curtains say about you'

What do your curtains say about you? Are you neat and utilitarian like your linen curtains? Do you follow a hectic schedule, and therefore toss curtains aside for blinds instead? Or are you posh, but a bit high-maintenance – kind of like your silken curtains that hang from its valence?

Read on to match your personality with your ideal set of curtains:

Classic and Conservative

No frills. No ruffles. You tend to gravitate toward classic lines and excellent tailoring. But when you do experiment, you opt for solid colors in neutral beige, olive greens and burgundy. A solid floor-length curtain with hidden rod pockets would be your best bet: timeless, machine-washable and easy to open/close.

An All-Around Aristocrat

There is no such thing as being a little high-maintenance. You find solace in rich and luxurious fabrics with no expense spared. After all, you can’t put a price on good taste. A jacquard curtain fashioned with clipped threads is reminiscent of the jacquard looms and its popularity among French royalty in the 1800s. Intricate and delicate, jacquard is also a weighty fabric that needs little additional styling.

The Shining Luminary

You’re always leading the way, whether it be in your social or intellectual pursuits. And your actions are of constant inspiration to others. A solid curtain in any shade will not do. A heather mélange curtain shines in the light, creating drama and adding texture where it should. In rich colors like chocolate, olive and navy, this curtain is bound to impress.

A Wild Child

Fun, flirty and you have a little bit of a wild streak. Experiment is how you like to go when it comes to style. Décor is no exception. And that’s why you would most like a zebra-striped curtain with a wavy, diagonal stripe. The pattern is playful and quirky, but not overpowering where a room would look like it was on an African safari.

Whether you’re cool as a cucumber, simple or glamorous, there's a curtain that meets your every need and personality.
