1. Wrap around

Here curtains wrap around the whole room, making this bedroom a textured, cosy and decadent space.

2. Double layered

Opting for double layers is a popular solution with interior designers. A layer of voile lets in light during the day while still offering privacy, while a separate pair of black-out curtains can be drawn for bedtime.

'If your current bedroom window treatment doesn't give you complete blackout then consider investing in a good curtain maker who can create blackout lined curtains for a simple but effective treatment,' advises Jo Littlefair, Co-Founder and Director of Goddard Littlefair.

'Bedroom curtains have to be really practical as they don't just have to look pretty but they must successfully block out the light – so be careful about shape and form and fabric choices. A blackout blind behind is sometimes needed,' says Naomi Astley Clarke.

'If you like to sleep in blackout, install full shades with side channels to avoid light leak. If you prefer to rise with the sun, unlined drapery works well,' advises Anna Beeber, Partner at Champalimaud Design.

Pelmets frame and adds structure to the drapes, and can either blend in using the same fabric, or be used to make a statement on their own.

8. Decorative trim

Giving curtains a decorative trim will create for a polished, interior-designed look. The fringed trim below is muted but textural, while a a strip of contrast fabric at the bottom lifts the scheme with a burst of raspberry velvet.

9. Bold pattern

When it comes to patterned curtains, the print makes all the difference. An aztec inspired print adds to the eclectic look in the bedroom below, tying the room together, while a toile de jouy fabric would give a bedroom a more traditional look, and a simple stripe or floral will result in an understated and timeless scheme.

10. Pleat

Pinch pleat curtains are an elegant, classic, and timeless choice. Often used with simple fabrics, they look smart without distracting from the rest of the room.

Pinch pleated curtains essentially gather the pencil pleats into groups of two or more for a more decorative heading. This will work with most types of fabric, but bear in mind that the more pleats, the more fabric is needed and so increases the cost of the finished curtains.

Pencil or pinch pleats are the most traditional curtain heading and will work with all types of track and pole.

11. XL

For added volume, drama and grandeur, you could consider using extra long fabric that bunches up at the bottom. It's a hard look to get right, but when the fabric bunches up in just the right way, the effect is quite beautiful.

12. Two-faced

Lining the curtain with a bold colour on the outside, and a neutral colour on the inside will give tantalising snippets of colour when curtains move or are tied back.

It's a nice way of either introducing a contrast colour, or tying in with the existing colour scheme, without having to dive in with brightly coloured curtains.

13. Roman blinds

Roman blinds can create a very streamlined look, and crowning a Roman blind with a hanging piece of fabric – similar to a pelmet – with a matching trim will give it an even smarter look.
