Why Curtains?

Curtains can be reminiscent of your childhood or the homes and places you’ve lived due to their prints and color schemes. Along with adding a touch of nostalgia to your home, they can really shape the mood and tone of a room. Yet they aren’t attention-grabbing on their own.

When added to the equation of your design layout, they can completely transform your space. And in a way you’d never believe is owed to curtains alone! 

Here are four reasons why blue curtains should be your next design move if you want to improve the way you feel in your home.

Blue Is Associated With Wide Open Spaces

When you think of blue, what is the most significant use of the color you can think of? Probably the brilliant blue sky. Because of the strong association with wide open spaces, blue is associated with freedom, release, and autonomy.

The same way you feel on gorgeous blue-sky days when you’re gazing upwards is how you can feel in your home. Even on rainy days trapped indoors. Blue can also make your space feel more expansive than it is, a plus if you easily feel confined indoors.

You could paint your ceiling a soft pale blue and stare up at it every time you’re overwhelmed. Or you could get the same effect for much less effort with blue curtains.

Blue Represents Security

Your home should be your safe space where you can always return at the end of a long day or long trip and settle back into your happy routine. Life’s problems have a way of getting to your inner sense of peace. Especially if you have a stressful job (in or out of your home) or live in a chaotic neighborhood.

Anxious people as well as those dealing with overwhelming circumstances will especially feel the safel, protective aspect of blue. Light a candle, play some music, take deep breaths and look at the blue around you in your home.
