There are probably no simpler curtains to hang than panel curtains. Most have either eyelets sewn into the top of the curtain or are tabbed, though it is possible to find curtains that simply thread onto a curtain pole as well. Panel curtains are easy to hang and easy to care for, as they are very simple to take down and wash, making them an ideal choice for many.

They look great in any room. If your bedroom is small you will probably look for ways to both save space and to make the room appear larger than it is. There are many ways of doing these things. For example L shaped wardrobes set in the corner can be a great space saver. Decorating with light colored furniture and using light colored bed coverings and curtains are also a great idea, as is painting or wall papering the walls with light materials. You can also use panel curtains to help make windows look larger than they are, simply by extending the curtain pole past the window and having the curtains hang open against the wall rather than down the side of the actual window.

One great choice when it comes to curtains and wall coverings are Waverly curtains valances and wall paint. They have matching sets of bed coverings, curtains and wall coverings available for very reasonable prices, and the great thing about buying them in sets like this is that you can make sure everything matches perfectly.

Some think that panel curtains should only be hung in tall windows, however in reality they look great no matter how long the window is. If you want to give the impression of height you can even hang the curtain pole up higher and add a matching valance to cover the top area where the wall is. There are many ways to give the impression of taller windows and larger rooms, even if your room is quite small. Alternatively, you may want to simply go with what you have and decorate in such a style that the room looks small and cozy.

No matter what type of room you are decorating, panel curtains can be a great option. They are very versatile and you can find them made from just about any type of fabric, ranging from thick velvet to thin lace curtains. With their ease of installation and their long straight lines, they are a perfect choice for living areas and bedrooms.
