What Type of Curtains to Put in a Bedroom to Make It Modern & Romantic?
Hanging curtains in a bedroom can enhance its romantic feel. Fabric, color, texture and length all factor into the sense of style and warmth you want to create. Of course, curtains can be hung on the windows. But they can be used in other parts of the room, as well. Consider draping them over a four-poster bed or using them as a headboard.

Fabric Valances

Fabric window valances can be hung with or without drapes. Lace valances in a crisp, clean white give a room romantic softness. For a more contemporary look, pick lace with a geometric design. Valances with sparkly or shimmery fabric give the room added texture and allure.
Headboard Curtains

Curtains hung on the wall in back of the bed give a room drama. Hanging curtains behind a traditional wood or metal headboard creates a regal look fit for a still-in-love king and queen. For an exotic look, choose curtains made of sari fabrics. Coordinate the curtains with the bedding ensemble. Hang the curtains from a sleek black pole to combine the romantic with the modern.
