Fabrics

Popular fabrics for country curtains are light and casual, not heavy or intricate like more formal window treatments. Printed fabrics, from vintage florals to cheerful ginghams, are often used for country curtains, as are lace or lace-edged fabrics.
Types

Although country curtain decorating is casual, that doesn't mean it's boring. From a simple valance hung over wooden blinds in a kitchen to a window dressed to the nines in florals and lace in the bedroom, you'll find there's a wide range of styles associated with country curtains. Primitive country decorating means starkly simple styles, such as quilts used as curtains, whereas a more Victorian country style uses layers of fabrics.

Hardware

If you like simple window treatments, country curtains are for you. No pinch-pleats, no cornices, no elaborate hardware to hold up heavy silk or velvet draperies -- country curtains are much simpler. Standard curtain rods or cafe rods are all you need for most country curtain designs.
