There's no need to hire a professional decorator as long as one follows the basic rules of decorating. One of the most simplest fabric window treatment ideas is paying attention to your room's color scheme and blending the window treatment with the room's decor.
Another is to consider your purpose – should the curtains block out sunlight to protect your furniture or to keep your privacy? Or should they merely soften it and allow it to illuminate the room during the day?
For the former, formal and heavy fabric such as brocade, damask, or velvet are used, while light and informal fabrics such as lace, cotton, or linen are best for lending an airy feel.
