Window curtains are not just a way of covering windows, keeping in warmth in winter and providing a degree of privacy in the evening. They are also a means of expressing our personal taste and they allow us to stamp our personality on a room by choosing things we love (and which hopefully our fellow occupants love too). However they may also demonstrate more about your personality than you thought.
If we look at what your curtains say about you, you might be surprised at how much can be told from the fabric you have hanging at your windows. (And it may just make you pay more attention when you choose window curtains in future).
For example, if you have just not got around to getting curtains at all you might be seen as someone who does not care about appearances (or, more worryingly, as someone who is too bone idle or poverty stricken to go out and buy window curtains!)
If you have played it safe with very simple neutral curtains you may be seen as someone who is calm and unruffled (or someone who is too timid to show their true personality). Only you can decide which one you are and whether you want to change your curtain choices as a result.
If your curtains are dusty or otherwise grubby, then that says a lot about your standards of hygiene and to present your best face to the world, you need to get your curtains cleaned or replaced pretty quickly unless you want the world to think the worst of you.
There is no one right set of curtains however, in the same way that there is not a perfect personality. There is only a perfect set of curtains for the room you are decorating which match the style of the room, the style of your home and your own personal taste. If you pay attention to all three however and don’t just pick up the first set of curtains that “will do” because the price is right then you will get on a lot better than the majority of folks buying curtains.
