Wanting everything and unable to choose what you want. The easy answer is buy it all and if I owned the store that you came to I would be overjoyed. That though is a dream that is reserved for only the ridiculously wealthy, for those of you who have a budget in mind you have to pick one.

The first thing you need to do is measure the window. By doing this you will have in mind the curtain panels you will want for your room. With the measurements you can then determine if you want long or short curtains. It will also help you know on how wide the curtain needs to be. So if you need more than two panels to cover a window you will not be in a bind when you only have two.

Whether it is the first time you are buying curtains or you are upgrading you need to decide on the material type. So do you want to go for the fresh, country feel? Or would you rather a more classy and regal feel to your room with thicker curtains that let in just the amount of light that you want? When you have answered the previous questions you will have in mind the kind of material you need for your curtain. With the material in mind, you now need to decide on style and colour. That should be easy as you only need to decide on whether you want to match the apparel of the furniture in the room you are decorating or provide a contrast.

Something that you should also consider when buying your curtains is how you are going to hang them. If you plan to be opening and closing your curtains a lot you might want to consider changing your curtain from rods with grommets or rings. Rods with rings or grommets are easier to slide than the alternative tabs. Also you can give your curtains additional style by upgrading the rod themselves.

Finally, when deciding on the curtain to buy tries to choose curtains that more than cover the window. Apart from the style that you get by having them larger than the windows it can also increase the energy efficiency of your home by reducing the light and air that comes in through the windows.
