Curtains vs. Upholstery: Best Practices for Caring & Styling Each at Home

Curtains and upholstery are essential to any home’s design, adding style, comfort, and personality. At Creation Furnishings, we create tailored fabric solutions and share expert care tips to help you keep your curtains and furniture looking fresh and elegant for years.

Why Curtains and Upholstery Matter

Curtains frame your windows and set the mood of a room, while upholstery defines comfort and style. Together, they create a cohesive design that reflects your personality. Creation Furnishings specializes in helping homeowners choose the perfect fabrics and provides expert guidance on maintaining these key elements.

Caring for Curtains: Keep Them Fresh and Elegant

Curtains are exposed to dust, sunlight, and daily wear, which makes proper care essential.

Best Care Practices for Curtains

• Regular Dusting: Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment weekly to remove dust.

• Gentle Washing: Machine wash lightweight curtains on a delicate cycle, but dry-clean heavier or lined curtains.

• Sun Protection: Rotate or layer curtains to protect fabrics from fading in direct sunlight.

• Proper Hanging: Use sturdy rods to keep your curtains evenly supported and wrinkle-free.

Styling Tips for Curtains

• Layer for Depth: Combine sheer and blackout curtains to balance style and function.

• Add Texture: Experiment with linen, silk, or cotton for different moods.

• Play with Height: Hang curtains higher than the window frame for a taller room appearance.
