Avoid minimizing your windows
There are some things you can consider to make the room look bigger and airier.
We have produced a curtain guide on how you should think to make the room look bigger and airier.
Create an airier space
Windows are beautiful, show them! Depending on how you hang your curtains, you can both reduce and spoil the impression of your windows.
A curtain rail that is as wide as, or just a few centimeters wider than, the window will make the curtains cover quite a lot of the window. This actually makes the window look much smaller than it actually is. Solution: Hang the curtains wide.
The curtain rail should be longer than the window is wide, then you can place the curtains on the side of the window and thus maximize the light let-in. A good rule of thumb is to choose curtains that are twice as wide as the window, then it looks nice even when the curtains are drawn.

Hang the curtains wide and hang the curtains high! This makes your windows in the room look bigger and more spacious.

The curtain rail should be longer than the width of the window. Then you can place the curtains on the side of the window and thus maximize the light.
If you do not want to run a curtain rail from wall to wall and only have curtains above the window, we recommend that the curtain rail protrudes at least 50 cm on each side of the window.
Example: If you have a window that is 100cm, you need a curtain rail that is 200cm.

GARDINEX's signature look is to cover the walls with a lot of fabric and frame your windows. More fabric gives a more exclusive feeling and the curtain becomes significantly more attractive.
Single width is a good width of curtains when there is only a narrow part of the wall you want to cover, for example if it is a small room or an asymmetrical window that is close to the wall on one side.
Double witdh is a good width for curtains when you want to cover a lot of surface, for example if you want to cover an entire wall up to where the window begins. Then you may need several curtains of double width that you hang next to each other.
