Interior Design Ideas and Home Decor Tips
Summary
This guide offers home decor advice for custom curtains, bedding, and other room style ideas. It gives interior design suggestions for fabric samples, light, privacy, color, texture, and mood. It also shares home interior decorating ideas for pillows, table linens, comforters, window treatments, and matching shower curtains.
Fabric Colors, Textures, and Swatches
We want you to love your custom curtains and bedding. Keep in mind that fabric color and texture can look different on a screen.
Because of that, we suggest ordering swatch samples when you are not sure about a fabric. You can request up to 10 swatches at no charge. The site may ask you to choose UPS for shipping, but no shipping cost will show at checkout.
Planning Your Room Design
Designing custom curtains and other home decor should be fun. Start with the look you want to create.
These interior designing tips for living room spaces also work well in bedrooms, kitchens, and dining rooms.
Light Control and Window Coverage
Ask yourself:
- Does the room get a lot of sunlight?
- Do you want to control the light that enters the room?
- Would layered curtains with lined drapes work best?
- If the room is dark, would a window valance by itself be a better choice?
Privacy, Views, and Focal Points
Consider:
- Do you want more privacy?
- Do you need drapes that cover the full window?
- Do you want to keep the view?
- Should the windows stand out, or blend into the background?
Mood and Style
Think about the mood you want:
- Casual
- Formal
- Sophisticated
- Comfortable
These room style ideas help you choose the right fabrics and finish.
Choosing Colors, Patterns, and Textures
What colors and textures will you use? There are many looks you can build with our products and these interior decor design ideas.
Consider:
- Do you want one color to stand out?
- Do you like the contrast that different fabrics create?
- Do you want fringes and trims?
- Do you want a bold or soft feel?
You choose the look. We help bring it to life. Florals, stripes, solids, and plaids can work well together. If you are unsure, ask us for more home decor and design ideas.
Pillows as Accents
Pillows are an easy way to shape a room. They can:
- Pull colors together
- Add contrast
- Bring out one color

Use of Your Fabric
We can use your fabric to make our products if you do not find what you want on our site.

Q&A
Question: Why should I order fabric swatches before choosing curtains or bedding?
Short answer: Fabric color and texture can look different on a screen than in person. Swatches let you see the real material before you order, and you can request up to 10 swatches at no charge.
Question: What should I consider before selecting window treatments for a room?
Short answer: Start with the room’s light, the amount of light control you want, your privacy needs, the view, and whether the windows should stand out or blend in.
Question: Can different patterns and fabrics be mixed together?
Short answer: Yes. Florals, stripes, solids, and plaids can work well together, especially when you match the mood, colors, textures, trims, and overall look you want. If you are not sure, ask for help or request swatches.
Question: What other decor items can coordinate with curtains or bedding?
Short answer: Pillows, table runners, placemats, napkins, comforters, coverlets, dust ruffles, window treatments, and matching shower curtains can all help create a coordinated room design.
Question: Can I provide my own fabric for a custom product?
Short answer: Yes. If you do not find a material on the website that you want to use, you can use your own fabric as long as it is a decorative fabric of 54″ width. You should call or email for pricing and yardage needs.
