Attic Window Curtains – Ideas and Solutions to Inspire You

Although often overlooked, curtains play a very important part in interior decoration, as they can positively transform a room’s ambience. For example, darker window coverings add a sombre, dignified note to any living space, while light, sheer curtains make a room seem brighter and more spacious. The color choice is also significant. Soft, warm shades create a sunny vibe, cooler tones help us unwind, and a shill, vibrant palette can really refresh a room, giving it a unique character. These rules apply to all rooms in your home, including the attic. If you have a sloping ceiling, chances are your attic windows are asymmetrical or of the skylight variety. Finding the right coverings for those might seem like an impossible task – but fear not! We have some amazing curtain ideas that go with every kind of window, and can transform your attic space into a cosy oasis.

Needles to say, regular curtain poles are not suitable for gable, dormer and skylight windows. Luckily, you can opt for short, individual curtain rods or rails. Attaching them to each separate wing of your window will ensure smooth opening and closing. Once you have taken care of the rods, you can pick the color and length of your curtains. If the attic room faces to the east, we advise you to pick longer, denser fabrics, which will protect you from the sun’s harsh rays in the morning. If it is north-facing, or there is a large building nearby that limits your light access, you should consider shorter, sheer or vibrantly colored curtains.

We have plenty of curtain ideas that will brighten up your attic
