Hanging curtains might not be the most thrilling task on your to-do list, but their impact on a room or space is undeniable.Curtains do more than block out the light — they&nbsp;set the mood for a space. The right curtains can enhance a room instantly. The best part is that installing them is so much easier than you might think.With a few tools, a little know-how, and some helpful tips, you’ll have those curtains hung perfectly — and your room looking like it came straight out of a home design magazine.Want to learn to hang drapes like a pro? This&nbsp;curtain installation guide walks you through every step and offers tips that can&nbsp;transform any space from dull to delightful.&nbsp;<h3>Pre-Installation Considerations</h3>Before buying window treatments, you must first consider a few things:&nbsp;<h4>Your Preferred Window Treatment</h4>Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/blog/living/drapes-curtains-how-to-choose?srsltid=AfmBOop0froGQWIiO_pUrfjDllyYHhaIFrFeN4AjEKASGKT8AQH2BpNe">drapes and curtains</a> actually differ from one another.Whereas most curtains are lightweight and sheer, drapes are bulkier and may have a back lining to help block out sunlight.There’s also the matter of the materials used for these window treatments. For those made with heavier fabric (usually drapes), consider the&nbsp;weight of the entire window treatment — not just the height and width. This is crucial when deciding the ideal hanging method for the particular window treatment you have.Some curtain types can also be hung as&nbsp;single or double panels, depending on the&nbsp;room and application. Of course, panels don’t always work for every window, especially if there are obstacles under them. In this case, you can fit the windows with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/service">custom-made curtains</a>.&nbsp;<h4>Your Preferred Hanging Method</h4>Decide on which hanging method you prefer or is more suitable for the room and your window treatments:<ul><li>mounting curtain rods</li><li>hanging curtains on a track</li></ul>Should you opt for rods, consider how to use them as an additional decorative element. Since they are clearly visible and can be made from various materials (plastic, wood, metal, etc.), they can be finished with stylish finials that match your interior design.In contrast,&nbsp;hanging curtains on a track offers a&nbsp;more discreet look. The track is designed to fit behind the decorative elements of your drapes or blend with the wall. It also has an internal tracking mechanism that can be corded, uncorded, or even motorized (see&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/motorized-guide">motorized curtain track</a>).&nbsp;<h4>The Type of Infrastructure or Wall</h4>Another important thing to consider when installing your curtain is the&nbsp;type of wall&nbsp;you have. Various infrastructure materials have different levels of texture and hardness, which requires some adjustments in the installation process.For example, if you’re planning to install a heavy curtain on a drywall or plasterboard, you need to switch to longer nails or screws to prevent them from tearing through the wall. You may also need to use wall anchors and additional brackets to stabilize your drapes.Meanwhile, if you have a brick wall, you need to pay close attention to the placement of the screws. Make sure they fall on an even surface. avoid drilling into the mortar area (i.e., the space between the two bricks). It is also important that you achieve the right depth (about 1/4 inch longer than the concrete screws) to secure your curtain properly.&nbsp;<h3>Tools You’ll Need</h3>Below is a checklist of the things you’ll need for your&nbsp;curtain installation project:<ul><li>Curtains or drapes</li><li>Curtain rods and finials or curtain tracks</li><li>Mounting hardware</li><li>Drill</li><li>Pencil</li><li>Tape measure</li><li>Leveling tool</li><li>Screws</li><li>Screwdriver</li></ul>&nbsp;<h3>How to Hang Curtains on the Wall</h3>Ready to hang window treatments? Here’s a rundown of the basic steps you need to take:&nbsp;<h4>Step 1: Take measurements</h4>There are two primary things you need to measure when installing curtains:<ul><li>The height and width of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/curtains-and-drapes/hardware">curtain rods</a> or tracks</li><li>The size of the curtain</li></ul>To get appropriate measurements for these, you must first determine the&nbsp;dimensions of the window&nbsp;and how you want the room to appear.For instance, if you want to&nbsp;make a small room look bigger, you’ll need to install the rod or track higher outside the window molding, around halfway between the ceiling and the uppermost part of the window casing.To&nbsp;create an illusion of a wider window,&nbsp;install curtain rods on the window frame three to 10 inches from the edge on both sides. This will give you more than enough room to hang more panels on either side of the window.Pro Tip: You can use our guide on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/tools-and-guides">how to measure curtains</a> to get more precise measurements.&nbsp;<h4>Step 2: Attach the brackets</h4>Using your pencil, mark the drill holes for the curtain rod brackets. Each one must be at the previously determined height and about&nbsp;four to six inches from the side of the window frame. Doing this will enable you to open the window treatments completely.Ensure the pencil marks are&nbsp;level&nbsp;with the help of the leveling tool so the rods won’t look crooked or uneven once installed. You can use a stud finder for brackets that come with studs, but if they aren’t, you can always use wall anchors. Then, after drilling the holes, screw the brackets into the wall.&nbsp;<h4>Step 3: Hang the curtains</h4>Before hanging, iron or steam your curtains to&nbsp;remove creases and wrinkles. Then, uncap the finials from the rods so you can thread the curtains through.Depending on what bracket you use, you may need to put the rod back in place before replacing the finial. Once this is done, you should tighten the set screws to secure the rod.Pro Tip: If you have a sloped ceiling, you can make the windows look more balanced by hanging the rod in a way that follows the ceiling symmetry. This will make the rod appear level, even if that’s not really the case.&nbsp;<h4>Step 4: Accessorize</h4><a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/curtains-and-drapes/accessories">Curtain accessories</a> can add extra flair to your window treatment. Some of the popular options include&nbsp;rod cap finials&nbsp;in silver, brass, or marble and curtain&nbsp;tie-backs. You may also opt to add&nbsp;valances over your full-length curtains.&nbsp;<h3>Master the Art of&nbsp;Curtain Installation</h3>Once your curtains are up and looking great, you’ll see just how much of a difference they make in a room. With these simple steps and a few handy tools, hanging curtains is no longer a dreaded chore but an easy way to transform your home.But if you ever feel unsure or&nbsp;require&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/tools-and-guides">

How to Hang Curtains: A Step-by-Step Guide

Windows can become a focal point of your home. The treatments you choose can do more than add beauty to any room. The right window treatment ensures your comfort and helps you manage the budget of running your home. Two of the main options to consider are&nbsp;blinds and drapes.&nbsp;Window blinds enhance privacy, allow better light and heat control, and they’re easy to install. Drapes, meanwhile, are like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes">window curtains</a>, but they’re made from thicker fabrics and cut to floor length. Both provide options in design and color, so you’re sure to discover the perfect treatment for the style you envision.&nbsp;But should you buy the same window treatment for every room in your home? Which type of blinds do you go with: vertical, wood, or metal? How do you match the window treatment to the room?&nbsp;We help you decide with these factors to consider when shopping for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/ksa-en/blinds-shades">window blinds</a> and drapes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Shop for the room.</h2>Which room needs a new&nbsp;window cover? Blinds are best for all rooms, from the living room and kitchen to the bedrooms and bathrooms. Drapes, on the other hand, are typically reserved for bedrooms because they can block out light completely.&nbsp;If you’re buying new treatments for all the rooms in your home,&nbsp;blinds would be the easiest choice. You only need to&nbsp;pick a different style for every room. Metal&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/ksa-en/blinds-shades/vertical-blinds">vertical blinds</a>, for example, look perfect for a home office, but they’ll be out of place in a traditional living room. For traditional interiors, like the classic farmhouse, wood is a better material than metal or aluminum.&nbsp;An option to wood&nbsp;blinds for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/ksa-en/blinds-shades">windows: shades</a>. Unlike blinds, shades are soft window treatments that don’t feature slats. You’ll find different types of shades, from the popular roller shades to the elegant&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/ksa-en/blinds-shades/roman-shades">Roman shades</a>,&nbsp;which are a hybrid of curtains and blinds.&nbsp;Each window shade comes in a variety of fabrics, patterns, and colors. They’re versatile enough that they can work in traditional or modern interiors.&nbsp;&nbsp;When it comes to controlling light and privacy in any room, though, you’d have to pull the covering all the way up to allow more light into a room or gain access to outside views.&nbsp;When shopping for your bathroom window treatments, choose materials that do well in wet and humid environments. &nbsp;<h2>Know the level of lighting in certain rooms.</h2>How much light do you want to block out in your bedrooms, living room, or home office?&nbsp;&nbsp;If you happen to work nights and sleep during the day, you’ll probably want complete darkness in your bedroom. The choice should be easy enough with dramatic&nbsp;drapes since this window treatment is lined with heavy fabric, blocking all light.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you prefer a lighter fabric but still want a great deal of privacy,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/ksa-en/curtains-and-drapes?material=blackout&amp;min=100&amp;max=200">blackout curtains</a> are a good alternative for bedrooms.&nbsp;Another option would be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/ksa-en/blinds-shades?min=90&amp;max=130&amp;product=blackout+roller+blinds">blackout blinds</a> if you prefer its modern look over the traditional curtain. These window coverings block out light and noise while helping to keep your energy costs down since they trap the cold during summer and the heat during winter. &nbsp;<h2>Consider sound dampening.</h2>Noise from the outside is not just distracting or bothersome; it can disrupt your sleep. The right window treatment can block sound for a house that’s located near street traffic.&nbsp;&nbsp;Shades made from&nbsp;heavy fabric can absorb external sound, so these would be ideal to install in rooms that face noisy streets.&nbsp;&nbsp;Many curtains are also designed specifically for sound dampening. These curtains are not only made from heavy fabrics, but they also feature vinyl or similar material as lining to absorb sound. &nbsp;<h2>Think about energy efficiency.</h2>In the average single family home, up to&nbsp;35% of heat loss happens through windows. Energy bills can be a concern, especially when extreme temperatures hit. You want to make sure that you’re comfortable indoors without overusing your cooling or heating system. The right window treatment in the right room can help you manage bills.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some of the more energy efficient window covers are Roman shades, roller shades, and drapes.&nbsp;The thick fabric and folds of Roman shades provide energy efficiency, offering an&nbsp;adequate layer of insulation for your windows. Roller shades can block air flow and create an insulating layer of air, but an opaque shade is much more efficient than a translucent one. As for&nbsp;draperies, they can reduce heat loss by about 10%, but they must be lined to be energy efficient. White&nbsp;plastic backing can cut heat gain by 35%, which should be beneficial during summer. Your choice of color also affects whether the drapes help you save money on energy costs. &nbsp;<h2>Match the&nbsp;window blinds or shades to the window type.</h2>Different windows function and look better with specific treatments. Does your home have sliding windows, casement windows, or bay windows? Maybe you have high windows and skylights?&nbsp;&nbsp;With the right window cover, you can enhance the appearance and function of any room.<ul><li>Draperies&nbsp;could add height and interest to&nbsp;small but long windows in basements.&nbsp;</li><li>Lightweight curtains or Roman shades could work for&nbsp;round windows that are high up.&nbsp;</li><li>Roman or roller shades&nbsp;are suitable for&nbsp;casement windows since the window treatment rolls up, allowing you to access the crutch or latch to open the window.</li><li>Blinds are suitable for&nbsp;wide, rectangular windows in bedrooms or family rooms,&nbsp;</li></ul> &nbsp;<h2>Don’t forget the ease of operation.</h2>Simple, easy, and convenient – all three words best describe automated window treatments.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/ksa-en/motorized-guide">Remote control curtains and blinds</a> can be programmed to open and shut at your preferred times. You can&nbsp;operate motorized&nbsp;shades and blinds through a tablet, smart phone, wall switch, or remote control. This mechanism is perfect&nbsp;for hard-to-reach windows and for people with busy schedules.&nbsp;&nbsp;Voice-controlled window coverings are seamlessly integrated in smart homes. One&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/ksa-en/home-automation">home automation device</a> or hub can support multiple blinds, saving you from lifting a finger.&nbsp;Remote control motorization may not seem like a big deal as an added feature for your window treatment. But when you’re comfortable on the couch or feeling under the weather, this convenience will mean the world. &nbsp;<h2>Make sure the window cover is child- and pet-safe.</h2><p

Know what kind of wallpaper and wall type you’re dealing with.</h4>If you have<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/premium-collection">&nbsp;luxury wallpaper</a> that is less than 10 years old, they may be self-adhesive or peel-and-stick products. You can check this by manually prying off a loose edge or corner of the covering or using a putty knife.&nbsp;If the paper easily comes off without residue or damage to the wall, you’re dealing with the strippable option. This means you can remove the wallpaper without using water, steam, or additional chemicals.&nbsp;If you peel off the wallpaper and it leaves behind paper, you have a peelable wallpaper.&nbsp;In case you’re having difficulties removing the wallpaper, you’re likely dealing with a traditional type.

Use a wallpaper steamer.</h4>If you prefer wallpaper over paint, a wallpaper steamer can be a smart purchase because you can use it repeatedly to spruce up your home.&nbsp;Follow these steps when using this method:<ul><li>Use the steamer to steam a small section of the wallpaper you want to remove first.</li><li>Use a putty knife to remove the steamed area.</li><li>Do the same two steps on the entire wallpapered wall until you completely peel it off.</li><li>Score any remaining paper or liner, steam it in small sections, and use a putty knife to remove it.</li></ul>&nbsp;Although this method may be time-consuming, it’s still an effective way to remove old wall covering.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h4>5. Use a wallpaper stripping product.</h4>Liquid wallpaper stripping solutions contain surfactants that dissolve solvents found in adhesives, which helps you remove paper with less work.&nbsp;Below are the steps for using a wallpaper stripping solution:<ul><li>Spray or wet a sponge or brush with the wallpaper stripping product and apply it to the wall covering.</li><li>Wait five to 15 minutes.</li><li>Peel off the soaked wallpaper by hand or with a putty knife.</li><li>Repeat the process if there’s paper or glue left on the wall.</li></ul>&nbsp;This product contains strong chemicals, which means you should&nbsp;wear gloves and glasses or goggles to protect your hands and eyes when using it. Make sure you open the windows to ventilate the room and reduce the strong smell as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h4>6. Make sure the wall is clean.</h4>Once the wallpaper is off, you may be wondering how to remove wallpaper glue from walls.&nbsp;You can get&nbsp;rid of the remaining adhesives by applying the solution you used and scraping them off using the putty knife.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Next,&nbsp;wipe the walls with a clean cloth or sponge dipped in a combination of water and dishwashing liquid.

Curtains have stepped into a new role in luxury interiors.

Sheer Curtains</h3>A sheer curtain is made of&nbsp;transparent, lightweight fabric that filters sunlight as it enters the room, softening the light. It can help protect your furniture, floor, and fixtures from direct sunlight and provide privacy.&nbsp;Sheer<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes">&nbsp;curtain</a>s&nbsp;cast a soft glow throughout the space, giving it a touch of class.&nbsp;Their simple elegance adds an element of refinement that makes you feel like royalty in your home.&nbsp;The ethereal quality of sheer drapes also adds depth and dimension to a room, making the space feel more open and welcoming.&nbsp;These reasons make<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes/sheer-curtains">&nbsp;sheer curtains</a> one of the most popular&nbsp;current interior design trends.&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1763734049_35d1a76d4fe1a45ad61f.webp"></figure>PINCH PLEAT CURTAINSEnhance spaces with modern window coverings<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes/fabric-curtain-pinch-pleat">SHOP NOW</a></td></tr></tbody></table></figure>&nbsp;<h3>2.

Like other elements in your home, curtains and blinds need routine maintenance. It’s important to keep these window treatments clean because dust and dirt can accumulate. With proper care, you can&nbsp;keep out allergens and ensure the longevity and beauty of your window coverings.&nbsp;This guide focuses on two more popular window treatments: curtains and blinds.&nbsp; &nbsp;<h2>What Is the Best Way to Clean Curtains?</h2>How do you clean curtains? You can steam clean, machine wash, hand wash, or spot clean curtains. The best method to use&nbsp;depends on the material. The first step is to&nbsp;check the manufacturer’s instructions; not all fabric curtains can be machine-washed, and some might even require dry cleaning.&nbsp;Sturdier fabrics may be machine-washed. Before throwing them in the machine, remove any hardware, like the hooks or rings. Place the curtains in a mesh laundry bag to protect the fabric. Wash the curtains using a mild detergent and cold water, and press the gentle cycle. To minimize wrinkles, air dry completely instead of using the tumble dry function. If there’s no way to air dry the curtain, use the low heat setting on your washing machine.&nbsp;If you have delicate or&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes/sheer-curtains">sheer curtains</a>, hand washing is the best way to clean them.&nbsp;Here’s&nbsp;how to clean&nbsp;sheer curtains and other similarly delicate fabrics.<ul><li>Fill a tub with cold water.</li><li>Mix a mild detergent.</li><li>Submerge the curtains, one panel at a time, soaking them for 10 minutes.</li><li>Gently wash the curtain without wringing or scrubbing.</li><li>Rinse with cold water, making sure to remove any detergent residue.</li><li>Air dry by laying the curtain flat on a clean towel.</li></ul>&nbsp;Can you use a vacuum cleaner on your&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes">curtains</a>? Yes, you can, especially if the window treatment is just dusty.&nbsp;<h3>How to Clean Dusty Curtains​</h3>You can&nbsp;lightly vacuum curtains using the upholstery attachment. If you don’t have that particular attachment, use the low suction setting on your vacuum cleaner.&nbsp;Start the cleaning process by pulling the curtain tight toward you. Run the vacuum cleaner along the panel.&nbsp;Work in sections, from the top to the bottom.&nbsp;<h3>How to Clean Moldy Curtains​</h3>Poor ventilation and high humidity can create a breeding ground for mold spores. You might notice black spots or patches and smell a musty odor from your curtains. If you do, your window treatment might have mold.&nbsp;Here’s how to clean curtains with mold.<ul><li>Approach with caution.&nbsp;Wear a mask&nbsp;to protect yourself from inhaling mold spores, and wear gloves, too.</li><li>Remove the moldy curtains from the rod and take them outside.</li><li>Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on the moldy section. Let the mixture sit for at least an hour to kill the spores. You can also use a soft-bristle brush to loosen the mold.</li><li>Wash the curtains in hot water with a mild detergent, using the highest temperature setting.</li><li>Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for washing your type of curtain.</li><li>Air dry in direct sunlight to kill any lingering mold spores.</li></ul>&nbsp;<h3>How to Clean Heavy Curtains​</h3>What if your&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/furnishings/fabric">curtain fabric</a> is heavy? If your curtains are more like drapes, you can still machine wash them. But wash them separately, so you&nbsp;don’t overload the machine. Wash with&nbsp;cold water using the delicate cycle function. Remove the curtains once the cycle ends, then hang them dry. You can also lay them flat on a surface to dry.&nbsp;Some heavy curtains or drapes may need professional cleaning. Once again, check the manufacturer’s guidelines.&nbsp;<h3>How to Clean Linen Curtains​</h3>Linen curtains are a smart choice for any home. The natural fibers allow for breathability, which wicks away moisture and regulates indoor temperatures. This makes linens perfect for warmer climates and rooms with high humidity levels.&nbsp;&nbsp;Although resistant to wear and tear, most linen curtains are lightweight. They’re delicate enough to&nbsp;require careful washing. You can hand-wash or machine-wash them.&nbsp;When&nbsp;hand washing:<ul><li>Use lukewarm water with a mild detergent.</li><li>Submerge the curtains and let them soak for 10 minutes.</li><li>Do not wring, scrub, or twist the curtains. Instead, swish them around the water.</li><li>Drain the water and rinse the curtains thoroughly.</li></ul>&nbsp;When using a&nbsp;washing machine:<ul><li>Fold the linen curtains in a mesh bag to protect the fabric. Don’t overload to prevent wrinkles,</li><li>Wash the curtains in mild detergent and lukewarm water at 104°F. Use the gentle cycle.</li><li>Remove from the machine immediately after the cycle to dry to prevent wrinkles.</li><li>Hang dry on a clothesline or indoors on a drying rack.</li><li>You can also dry the curtains in the machine, but with low to no heat.</li></ul>&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>What Is the Best Method of Cleaning Blinds?</h2>From wood to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/blinds-shades/vertical-blinds">vertical blinds</a>, these hard window coverings are not hard to clean. In most cases, you only need a&nbsp;feather duster. A&nbsp;vacuum cleaner&nbsp;can also work to get rid of built-up dirt. You can also use a rag to wipe down the slats.&nbsp;Alternatively, you can minimize dust and cleaning by using the blinds regularly. Open, close, or rotate them when you can to keep dust from settling on the slats. If you’re not a fan of dusting or have no time,&nbsp;choose blinds that hang vertically because they collect the least dust.&nbsp;&nbsp;You can also use an&nbsp;air purifier to reduce the buildup of dust&nbsp;and dirt&nbsp;in your home.&nbsp;The best method for cleaning blinds, like curtains, depends on the material.&nbsp;<h3>How to Clean Pleated Blinds</h3><a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/blinds-shades/pleated-blinds">Pleated blinds</a> are made from lightweight fabric folded to create an accordion effect. The beehive-like and hexagonal pockets make this window covering an energy-efficient choice for rooms that need light control.<ul><li>To dust pleated blinds, use a vacuum cleaner with the upholstery attachment.</li><li>Gently wipe the surface from left to right. Do not push against the fabric because it might rip.</li><li>To remove stains, use a soft cloth in warm water. Pat the affected area. Then leave it to dry.</li></ul>&nbsp;<h3>How to Clean Wood Blinds</h3>To clean wood blinds, follow these simple steps:<ul><li>Lower the blinds and slightly tilt them open.</li><li>Use a feather duster to clean between the slats.</li><li>Apply a wood spray polish.</li><li>Use a soft cloth and wipe each slat.</li></ul>&nbsp;<h3>How to Clean Vinyl or Aluminum Blinds</h3>To clean vinyl or aluminum blinds, follow these simple steps:<ul><li>Adjust the slats, tilting them sligh

Is your living room in need of a bold print or perhaps something more subdued? Should you opt for textured, patterned, or plain&nbsp;There are endless wallpaper options. While this can open up limitless possibilities, it can also make it so easy to make the wrong choice.&nbsp;You see, wallpapers influence the perceived&nbsp;size of the room, the&nbsp;cohesiveness&nbsp;of your decor, and even the overall&nbsp;comfort&nbsp;of the space. If you don’t choose wisely, your living room may feel off: visually chaotic, mismatched, and lacking harmony.&nbsp;Wondering&nbsp;how to pick a wallpaper? Don’t just base your choice on trends.&nbsp;Before you get swayed by a design that looks great in a showroom but clashes at home, we’re here to share some of the things you need to keep in mind to make the right choice. &nbsp;<h2>How to Choose a Wallpaper for Your Living Room: Things to Consider</h2>There are four key things you need to consider when choosing a living room wallpaper: &nbsp;<h3>The Wall</h3>First is the&nbsp;wall. Are you decorating all the walls or just creating an accent wall?&nbsp;You can wallpaper the entire room, especially if it’s a big, airy space. However, you can also choose to focus on a single wall and make it the focal point of the room.&nbsp;Pro Tip: When creating an accent wall, choose wallpaper that looks more like an artwork or a portal to another place than a wall covering. A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/mural-wallpaper">wallpaper mural</a> is a good example.&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1751017485_c6b5971ea3494f5ea69d.jpg"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Dream of Poppies - 400x280cm - Light GreenPrices from USD 84.37https://www.sedarglobal.com/global-en/wallpaper/mural-wallpaper/murals/1051974</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>&nbsp;You should also consider the position of the wall (or walls) you intend to cover and the amount of light they get. Access to natural light can greatly affect not only the wallpaper’s&nbsp;appearance&nbsp;but also its&nbsp;longevity.&nbsp;If your living room has glass doors, skylights, and large windows that let natural light in, opt for wallpaper with a lighter color. Reserve darker hues for places that get limited sunlight, as they may fade when exposed to the sun for long periods. &nbsp;<h3>The Room</h3>As with any other room in the house, you must evaluate the&nbsp;functionality&nbsp;of your living room when picking a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper">home wallpaper</a>. Evaluate how you use the space to determine the best type of wall covering for it.&nbsp;For high-traffic areas, choose something&nbsp;easy to clean, like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/vinyl-wallpaper">vinyl wallpaper</a>. If you have a pet, it’s also best to stick to&nbsp;smooth&nbsp;wall coverings (versus textured ones) to prevent your furry pal from scratching them.&nbsp;Also, consider the&nbsp;actual size&nbsp;and your preferred&nbsp;perceived size of the room. Spatial considerations can influence the pattern scale and colors of your wallpapers.&nbsp;Here are some good&nbsp;living room wallpaper ideas to keep in mind:<ul><li>Low ceiling = vertical wallpaper patterns</li><li>Spacious living room&nbsp;= bold patterns or rich textures</li><li>Small space&nbsp;= light colors and subtle patterns</li><li>Narrow room&nbsp;= horizontal stripes or wide, flowing patterns</li><li>Boxy or square room&nbsp;= organic or asymmetrical patterns</li><li>Open-plan living room&nbsp;= textured neutrals or tone-on-tone designs</li></ul>&nbsp;Remember: Your choice should inject personality without overwhelming the space.&nbsp;<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdnq2VXgLLmOR_SPKyqIbkuMeyn07Y9RGOtCEL70PNrWnqBquf2ilFf4DLnZk7KA3V1Nl5AEl7qiZ47zHfHlUZvlmTa9TB6yGZ61r8SDCyTr7sEjmF8iPJfgIHl4s0OVWn6Jsp4-g?key=fsAag2tiBqacTl9sWKT1YQ">&nbsp;<h3>The Look and Feel</h3>Colors, patterns, and the overall interior design are also crucial factors when selecting the right wallpaper for your living space. After all, they influence not only&nbsp;the look&nbsp;but also&nbsp;the feel&nbsp;of your living room.&nbsp;Depending on the type of space you want to create, you should choose between warm (e.g., orange, red, and yellow) and cool (e.g., blue, green, and grey) colors.&nbsp;<ul><li>If you want a&nbsp;cozy, welcoming&nbsp;living room designed for gatherings, choose wallpapers in warm hues.</li></ul>&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1751017325_4dd2b759386d0b3fd086.jpg"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Versace Wallpaper - RedPrices from USD 288.29https://www.sedarglobal.com/global-en/wallpaper/versace-home/versace-home/1145378</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>&nbsp;<ul><li>If you use your living room for unwinding, opt for cooler hues that promote&nbsp;relaxation and tranquility.</li></ul>&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1751017246_0ed4b3a97860d7479a49.jpg"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>wallpaper Fujikawa - Light GreenPrices from USD 22.31https://www.sedarglobal.com/global-en/wallpaper/fujikawa/fujikawa/1018777</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>&nbsp;Next, evaluate your interior design. Consider existing&nbsp;architectural elements&nbsp;like large windows, fireplaces, and built-ins that draw the eye naturally, and accentuate them with strategically placed wallpaper. It’s also important to observe the&nbsp;materials&nbsp;used in your living room architecture and decor, as wood, metal, and stone can influence your wallpaper choice.&nbsp;If you’re redecorating, you should also match your wallpaper with any existing furniture for a cohesive interior style. For instance, modern minimalist pieces pair beautifully with geometric or solid-color wall coverings.&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1751017164_5e0b1b3aa9fe08506c17.jpg"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Missoni Home Wallcovering - Navy BluePrices from USD 410.41https://www.sedarglobal.com/global-en/wallpaper/missoni-home/missoni-home/1248382</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>&nbsp;Meanwhile, traditional or ornate-style furniture is best matched with vintage-style designs.&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Premium Collection - Light BluePrices from USD 274.56https://www.sedarglobal.com/global-en/wallpaper/premium-collection/premium-collection/1256299</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>&nbsp;The key is to ensure that the&nbsp;wallpaper design for your living room works with everything else in the space.

Do you have an old couch you want to integrate into your new living room design? Or perhaps you still want to keep your family sofa even though it has almost reached the end of its lifespan?&nbsp;Reupholstery&nbsp;can help you renew a family heirloom or update your furniture according to the latest interior design trends. All you have to do is hire an upholstery professional and select the best material to renew your furniture.&nbsp;Want to know&nbsp;how to choose upholstery fabric for a sofa? This guide will give you all the essential information you need to make the right choice. &nbsp;<h2>What Constitutes the&nbsp;Best Fabric for Upholstery?</h2>The material you pick can significantly affect the longevity of your reupholstered couch. If you don’t know where to begin, think about the following essential factors to ensure you select the&nbsp;best fabric for your upholstery project: &nbsp;<h3>Material</h3><a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/furnishings/upholstery">Upholstery fabrics</a> come in a wide variety of&nbsp;natural and synthetic materials. With each having its own characteristics and advantages, you need to do some research to determine which one suits your purpose best. Here are a few common options you can check to get started: &nbsp;LinenKey Characteristics:<ul><li>Natural (made from flax fibers)</li><li>Durable</li><li>Slightly rough</li></ul>&nbsp;Linen&nbsp;is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a&nbsp;high-quality,&nbsp;sustainable&nbsp;material for your reupholstery project. Although slightly rough, it can become softer over time and&nbsp;keep you feeling cool&nbsp;during summer.&nbsp;Just remember that any furniture made with this material should never be placed under direct sunlight for extended periods to avoid fading. &nbsp;WoolKey Characteristics:<ul><li>Natural</li><li>Fire-resistant</li><li>Stain-resistant</li><li>Wrinkle-free</li><li>Soft and cozy</li></ul>&nbsp;Wool&nbsp;is another&nbsp;natural fabric&nbsp;used for sofa upholstery. While it is more expensive than synthetic materials and other natural fabrics, this material&nbsp;holds up well under heavy use&nbsp;and maintains its plush and warm feel for years. &nbsp;CottonKey Characteristics:<ul><li>Natural</li><li>Durable</li><li>Soft and breezy</li><li>Easy-to-clean</li></ul>&nbsp;Cotton is considered the&nbsp;best fabric for reupholstering chairs and couches because it is&nbsp;breathable, durable, and soft. As far as natural materials go, it wears well, is&nbsp;easy to clean, and is quite&nbsp;resistant to pilling, not to mention it is quite affordable.&nbsp;The only downside is that it can be prone to stains and easily catch dirt and dust. The good news is that this upholstery fabric becomes more&nbsp;resistant to staining if treated before use. &nbsp;PolyesterKey Characteristics:<ul><li>Synthetic</li><li>Fade-resistant</li><li>Wrinkle-free</li><li>Affordable</li></ul>&nbsp;Polyester&nbsp;is a good option if you’re looking for&nbsp;affordable and cost-effective&nbsp;upholstery fabric. This synthetic material is known for its durability and ability to&nbsp;maintain its color&nbsp;for a long time. It is also wrinkle and sag-resistant and is easier to clean than natural fabrics like cotton and wool.&nbsp;Just remember that it is non-biodegradable and not breathable, which means it may not be as friendly to the skin and the environment as natural materials. &nbsp;RayonKey Characteristics:<ul><li>Synthetic</li><li>Inexpensive and versatile</li><li>Silky and soft</li><li>Breathable</li></ul>&nbsp;Want a&nbsp;versatile and low-cost alternative&nbsp;to cotton and silk? Rayon is your best bet.&nbsp;This&nbsp;sofa upholstery fabric replicates the&nbsp;luxurious feel of silk and the&nbsp;breezy&nbsp;quality of cotton. However, it requires a bit more care because if not properly maintained, it may break down, sag, or stain easily. &nbsp;MicrofiberKey Characteristics:<ul><li>Synthetic</li><li>Stain-resistant</li><li>Liquid-repellent</li><li>Easy to clean</li><li>Soft</li></ul>&nbsp;Microfiber is the best choice if you’re looking for a&nbsp;soft and stain-free alternative to cotton. Made to&nbsp;repel liquids, this petroleum-based material holds up well in the long run. However, it is&nbsp;not a sustainable choice, and it&nbsp;attracts hair and dust&nbsp;a lot. &nbsp;LeatherKey Characteristics:<ul><li>Natural or synthetic</li><li>Durable</li><li>Easy to clean</li></ul>&nbsp;Leather can be synthetic or natural, depending on where it’s sourced.&nbsp;Genuine leather is popular for its luxurious feel. It is quite durable and comes in a variety of textures. It is hypoallergenic, resistant to scratches, holds up well against tears and punctures, and can easily be wiped clean. It does need to be conditioned regularly to prevent splitting and cracking.&nbsp;On the other hand, synthetic leather — more commonly known as&nbsp;faux leather&nbsp;— is manufactured from polyurethane. It offers a similar look and feel to genuine leather for a much lower price. However, it&nbsp;only lasts a fraction of the time&nbsp;compared to its genuine counterpart and tends to have a&nbsp;distinct synthetic smell. &nbsp;<h3>Durability</h3>When you decide to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/global-en/blog/living/should-i-buy-a-new-sofa-or-reupholster-my-old-one">reupholster a sofa</a>, you shouldn’t be content with anything less than its brand-new condition. Unless it’s already an antique or has some structural issues, your old couch can be returned to its former glory, if not better.&nbsp;That said, one surefire way to achieve that is to pick a high-quality upholstery fabric. Look for a material that&nbsp;holds up well against the expected activity&nbsp;in your living area (read more under “Lifestyle”). It also pays to invest in fabrics with&nbsp;stain- and fade-resistance. &nbsp;<h3>Design</h3>Upholstery fabric comes in many different designs. This allows you to&nbsp;mix and match&nbsp;it with your existing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/furnishings">home furnishings</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;update&nbsp;your furniture according to a new interior layout.&nbsp;Experts say that fabrics within the living room need to be&nbsp;cohesive. While this doesn’t necessarily mean your upholstered furniture should have the same colors or patterns as the rest of the space, they should at least complement your&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/furnishings/fabric">curtain fabric</a>.&nbsp;Alternatively, you can also opt for a solid-colored fabric for your couch to make it more&nbsp;versat

How to Choose Upholstery Fabric to Renew Your Old Sofa(CLONED)

Torn fabric, sagging cushions, a general vibe of “lived-in” that’s veering dangerously into “worn-out” — sound familiar?&nbsp;If your sofa looks a little tired, you may feel the urge to buy a new one immediately. But before you spend money on a brand-new replacement, consider the often-overlooked option:&nbsp;reupholstering.&nbsp;Sofas are among the most used living room furniture, so of course, there are services designed to revive them. In this blog, we’ll guide you through deciding whether it’s better to&nbsp;reupholster or buy a new one and let you in on some crucial information you need to make a choice you won’t regret. &nbsp;<h2>Reupholstering vs. Recovering</h2>&nbsp;Did you know that reupholstering and recovering are not the same thing?&nbsp;Recovering means replacing the material that covers the sofa. In other words, it’s a&nbsp;surface-level fix. On the other hand, reupholstering includes replacing the cover&nbsp;and&nbsp;other parts to return it to its former glory or&nbsp;improve its structural condition.&nbsp;Recovering&nbsp;works if your sofa’s foam and frame are still in good shape and just need a new fabric cover. It is also a great option to match your&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/furnishings/fabric">curtain fabric</a> with the rest of your interior design.&nbsp;But if the structure and most of the sofa’s parts need to be remade, reupholstery is the better choice since it entails&nbsp;mending the frame, replacing springs and padding, restaining wood, and recovering with a new fabric. &nbsp;<h2>To&nbsp;Reupholster or To Buy? Factors to Consider</h2>&nbsp;Buying a new sofa offers instant gratification, while reupholstering an old one takes time. But don’t be too quick to dismiss the latter as it can provide a good – if not better – alternative in certain situations.&nbsp;In this section, we’ll discuss the factors that can impact your decision to buy or&nbsp;reupholster your sofa. &nbsp;<h3>1. The Cost Factor</h3>&nbsp;Is it worth reupholstering a sofa? There are several things you must consider to determine the answer to this question, but the first – and often most prioritized – is the&nbsp;cost.&nbsp;How much you’ll spend on a brand-new sofa is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is look at the price tag, add shipping or delivery costs, and you’re good to go.&nbsp;On the other hand, the price of reupholstery can vary, depending on factors such as:<ul><li>The size of the couch</li><li>The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/furnishings/upholstery">upholstery fabric</a> to be used</li><li>The extent of repair needed</li></ul>&nbsp;The actual price you’ll pay will also depend on what type of fabric you want to use and the level of difficulty of the project.&nbsp;Professionals may also charge more depending on their reputation and quality guarantee. To be sure, compare quotes from at least two different service providers for the fabric and parts. &nbsp;<h3>2. Value Beyond the Tag Price</h3>&nbsp;A sofa’s value isn’t limited to its price tag — it can also be a&nbsp;one-of-a-kind&nbsp;antique made from&nbsp;rare&nbsp;materials and&nbsp;intricate&nbsp;designs. You may also have difficulty letting the piece go if there’s a certain&nbsp;history&nbsp;or&nbsp;sentimental value&nbsp;attached to it.&nbsp;In some cases, reupholstering an old sofa may be worth the time, effort, and money. It can be a&nbsp;prized possession&nbsp;that has been with your family for generations. Or it can be a valuable antique piece that represents a significant&nbsp;investment.&nbsp;In all these cases,&nbsp;reupholstery is the better choice. You just need to ensure that it gets the best material and craftsmanship it deserves. &nbsp;<h3>3. The Condition Conditions</h3>&nbsp;Whether or not you should&nbsp;reupholster your sofa also depends on its&nbsp;actual condition.&nbsp;If you have to turn it inside out or the base frame has already been compromised, buying a new one is probably more cost-effective.&nbsp;Of course, this also means that when your existing couch just needs some fresh fillings or a new cover,&nbsp;couch reupholstery is more affordable than buying a new one.&nbsp;Below are some&nbsp;signs that your sofa can still be revived:<ul><li>It is crafted from solid wood and features intricate carvings.</li><li>It doesn’t rock or show any signs of cracking or warping.</li><li>It is made with eight-way hand-tied springs.</li></ul>&nbsp;If you’re unsure, you can&nbsp;ask our upholstery experts at Sedar Global to inspect your furniture.

We answer these questions in our step-by-step guide on&nbsp;DIY blinds installation.&nbsp;Important note:&nbsp;This guide assumes your blinds are tailor-made for your windows or your windows can accommodate universal-size blinds. If you need help measuring your windows for blinds,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/free-consultation">book a free consultation</a> with us and read our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/tools-and-guides">measuring, fitting and installation guides</a>, where we have detailed instructions on how to install&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/blinds-shades/wooden-venetian-blinds">Venetian blinds</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/blinds-shades/roman-shades">Roman shades</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/blinds-shades/vertical-blinds">vertical blinds</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/blinds-shades/roller-shades">roller blinds</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>What You Need: Tools and Materials</h3>Before you begin, prepare everything you need so you won’t have to run around (wasting time and energy) looking for tools and materials once your project is underway.&nbsp;Open the blinds box or package to&nbsp;confirm you have all the components. These vary depending on the type of blinds you have. For instance, if&nbsp;installing Venetian blinds from Sedar—say, our 25mm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/blinds-shades/aluminum-venetian-blinds">aluminum venetian blinds</a>—check that your package comes with the following parts:<ul><li>Head rail</li><li>Mounting bracket</li><li>Tilter shaft</li><li>Tilter gear</li><li>Tilter wand</li><li>End cap</li><li>Slats</li><li>Bottom rail</li><li>Ladder string</li><li>Special lift cord</li><li>Cord</li><li>Lock clip</li><li>Equalizer</li><li>Tassel</li><li>Tape lock button</li></ul>&nbsp;Next, prepare your tools.&nbsp;You will need the following:<ul><li>Measuring tape (heavy duty, metal)</li><li>Level (preferably a long level, for ensuring bracket alignment)</li><li>Pencil (preferably a carpenter pencil because of its flat sides, for marking)</li><li>Power drill (i.e., drilling machine)</li><li>Drill bit</li><li>Drive bit</li><li>Screwdriver</li><li>Screws</li><li>Wall plug (wall anchor, an insert that allows you to use screws in porous and brittle walls)</li><li>Work gloves</li><li>Step ladder</li></ul>&nbsp;Once you have your blinds and tools ready, you may install your blinds.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>What to Do:&nbsp;DIY Blinds Installation Steps</h3>If your blinds come with a manual, follow the specific steps indicated there. That manual will also tell you if window brackets must be a particular distance above or to the side of your window.&nbsp;The steps below provide general guidance on installing blinds. &nbsp;1. Mark the position of the first (left-hand) mounting bracket.Where the first mounting bracket goes depends on the type of blinds you have and whether you’re installing them&nbsp;inside the window recess (i.e., inside mount)&nbsp;or outside the window opening (outside mount).&nbsp;Note:&nbsp;You must decide between an inside and an outside mount before you buy or order blinds.&nbsp;When installing inside-mounted blindsYou can use inside-mounted blinds on windows recessed into the wall. These blinds are&nbsp;installed inside the window recess, also known as the window reveal. In this case, the blinds go right on top of the window pane, and their&nbsp;coverage is limited to the width and height of the window recess.&nbsp;The inside mount is&nbsp;best used with made-to-measure blinds. Otherwise, there may be gaps on the sides, or the blinds may be too wide or long to fit inside the window reveal.&nbsp;The brackets for inside-mounted blinds are attached to the “ceiling” of the recess. The first window bracket may need to be installed at the top left corner, or it may have to be placed several centimeters (e.g., 10 centimeters) to the right of the recess’ left side. The exact distance and placement vary from one type of blinds to another, so&nbsp;follow the prescribed clearances written on your blinds packaging or manual.&nbsp;You must decide how deep your blinds will go into the recess. If the window reveal is 10 cm deep, maybe attach the window bracket about halfway in (5 cm).&nbsp;Procedure:&nbsp;With your measuring tape, on the recess’ ceiling, measure out and mark the prescribed spot from the left edge of the recess. Hold the bracket there and use your pencil to mark the spots for the screws.&nbsp;When installing outside-mounted blindsOutside-mounted blinds&nbsp;lie on top of the window opening and cover part of the wall above, below, and to the sides of it.&nbsp;Store-bought, universal-sized blinds work great with outside mounting because they don’t need to be restricted by the size of the window recess.&nbsp;The brackets for outside-mounted blinds are placed on the wall above the window reveal. How far up you need to go (e.g., 10 cm up from the top edge of the window recess) depends on the blinds’ measurements.&nbsp;Procedure:&nbsp;With your measuring tape, measure up to the prescribed clearance or distance from the top edge of the window and mark the spot with a pencil. Next, hold the bracket in place and mark with a pencil where the screws must go; there should be at least two spots for screws. &nbsp;2. Fix the first bracket.Find a drill bit that’s slightly smaller than the screws&nbsp;you’re using and attach that to your power drill. Drill where your pencil marks for the mounting bracket screws are. Make sure not to drill too deep; ideally,&nbsp;drill only as long as the screws you’ll use.&nbsp;Once you have drilled the screw holes for the first bracket, insert a wall plug into each screw hole. A wall plug offers a more secure grip for screws.&nbsp;Exchange your drill bit for a drive bit, insert the screws into the waiting holes and drive them in. If your drill doesn’t have a driver function or your drive bit is too short to drive the screws all the way in, you can use a screwdriver. &nbsp;3. Mark the position of the second (right-hand) mounting bracket.Use a long level to mark a straight line from the first bracket to the right-hand side of the wall, the right side of the recess’ ceiling, or the ceiling’s top right corner. With a measuring tape placed along the straight or level line, mark the position of the second mounting bracket. Refer to your product packaging or manual for&nbsp;the maximum allowed distance between the two brackets.&nbsp;Once you’ve found the correct spot, hold the second window bracket there and mark the spots for the screws.&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Fix the second bracket.Attach a drill bit (slightly smaller than the screws you’re using) to your power drill,&nbsp;drill the holes you’ve pencil-marked for the bracket screws. Do not drill too deep; drill only up to the length of your screws.&nbsp;Once the screw holes are ready, p

How to Install Blinds: A Step-by-Step Guide

Doors are the most popular option for creating rooms or separating areas in your home. They provide privacy and reduce noise, which dividers, partitions, and curtains can't offer.&nbsp;Moreover, doors come in different types, so you don’t need to stick with a classic style if you have a small space.&nbsp;Folding&nbsp;and partition doors&nbsp;stand out among these options because they don’t take up much space.&nbsp;They slide neatly to the side, perfect for small rooms or open-concept layouts. They come in different materials and colors and are easy to open and close.&nbsp;They are easy to put up as well. In this article, we’ll share steps and tips on how to install folding doors to ensure you have the ideal new feature in your home. &nbsp;<h2>Preparing Your Home for&nbsp;Folding Door Installation</h2>Installing<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/folding-doors">&nbsp;folding doors</a> is a straightforward process. However, you need to prepare for this project to avoid some missteps.&nbsp;Below are some tips to help you prepare for installing a folding door: &nbsp;<h3>1. Evaluate the installation area.</h3>If you just had the area for the folding door (or a partition/sliding door, for that matter)&nbsp;built or prepared, you can skip this step. However, if you’re replacing an old door, take the time to check the installation area adequately.&nbsp;Check the door opening, frame, and jamb to ensure they are still in excellent condition. They should be able to support the weight of the panels.&nbsp;Sand down the rough edges if the door frame has uneven surfaces. If it has minor damage that can affect the quality of the installation, find out if you can repair it or have a professional handle it.&nbsp;Also, evaluate the structural condition of the surrounding walls to ensure they can support the door and keep it secure. &nbsp;<h3>2. Check the kit.</h3>After ordering your folding door,&nbsp;check if it has all the parts. It should have the main components, which include the following:<ul><li>Main panels</li><li>Lock pro­files</li><li>Half panel</li><li>Lock panel</li><li>Lockset</li><li>Brackets</li></ul>&nbsp;Use the instruction manual as a reference to confirm that nothing is missing. Ask your supplier for replacements if there are one or more missing parts.&nbsp;Also,&nbsp;check each part for defects. Damaged tracks or bent hinges can affect the functionality of a folding or sliding door.&nbsp; &nbsp;<h3>3. Prepare your tools.</h3>Before installing your<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/folding-doors/classic-folding-doors">&nbsp;classic folding door</a>, make sure you have the tools you need to do it.&nbsp;Some essential tools are:<ul><li>Drill</li><li>Drill bits</li><li>Work gloves</li><li>Safety glasses or any protective eyewear</li><li>Wall plug</li><li>Screws</li><li>Level</li><li>Measuring tape</li></ul>&nbsp;Ensure you have the correct drill bits if you need to bore a hole into a hard surface. You should also have a pencil for marking areas.&nbsp;Keep all these tools within reach when you’re ready to start working. &nbsp;<h3>4. Clear the installation area.</h3>Remove all furniture, rugs, and other objects near the doorway to have an open, safe workspace. If you’re replacing an old door, carefully take it down along with all the hardware, including its hinges and tracks.&nbsp;Consider removing paintings and other décor near the surrounding walls to avoid getting dust and debris on them.&nbsp;If you’re installing folding doors for your closet, remove everything inside it before proceeding to the actual&nbsp;closet door installation.&nbsp;Once you’re done with these, you can proceed to the next steps. &nbsp;<h2>Installing the Folding Door</h2>Below is a step-by-step guide to installing a folding door:&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>1. Measure the top of the frame.</h3>Use a measuring tape to measure the top of the frame. Next, use a level to draw a straight line down the center.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>2. Position the rail on the frame.</h3>Place the rail on the top of the frame and mark the spot where you will drill the screws.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>3. Install the top rail.</h3>Drill the holes in the marked area. Next, install the top rail and drill a screw in the middle.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>4. Install the folding door.</h3>Hold the door securely and drill the remaining screws on the rail. Make sure you install all the screws, which depend on the folding door’s width.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>5. Install the side rails.</h3>Position the side rails on the frame and drill pilot holes to prevent the wood from splitting. Next, secure the rails with screws. Start from the top and work downward to ensure it is properly aligned.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>6. Put the locks.</h3>Align the lock according to the manufacturer’s instructions and drill it into the wall. Next, install the door lock. Test the locks to make sure they are working properly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>7. Apply lubricant on the rail.</h3>Apply a light layer of lubricant along the top rail to reduce friction and prevent squeaking. Wipe off any remaining product to prevent buildup on the rail and panels.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>8. Check if the door is working properly.</h3>Gently open and close the folding door several times to test its movement. Make sure it glides smoothly and aligns correctly.&nbsp;If you’re not too confident about installing your new folding door, let a professional handle it. Ask the seller if they have a team to install it, or look for a trusted contractor. &nbsp;<h2>Maintaining Your Folding Door</h2>Once you’ve installed your folding door,&nbsp;keep it in top shape with the following maintenance tips:<ul><li>Wipe the door frames, panels, and locks with a clean microfiber cloth or sponge at least once a week.&nbsp;You can use a mixture of water and gentle dishwashing liquid to clean them, but don’t get the panels too wet if you have a<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/folding-doors/wood-look-folding-doors">&nbsp;wooden sliding folding door.</a></li><li>Clean the rail with a vacuum. Use the brush attachment to remove debris from this part.</li><li>Apply lubricating oil on the rails, locks, and door handles every two months to keep them working smoothly.</li><li>Regularly inspect the panels for cracks or structural damage. Call a professional to repair these issues.</li></ul>&nbsp;Whether you're getting a folding door to save space or to give a room a modern look, this feature will be a great upgrade to your home.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/contact">Contact us</a> for more information about our folding and&nbsp;partition doors&nbsp;and customization services.

How to Install Folding Doors: A Step-By-Step Guide(CLONED)

Ever wondered how you can make your space feel lighter, brighter, and a bit more stylish? Sheer curtains are a great way to do just that. They let in natural light, add a soft touch to any room, and work with almost any decor style.&nbsp;Cozy or breezy, simple or whimsical, sheer curtains build&nbsp;the perfect ambiance for your home.&nbsp;To help you learn&nbsp;how to style sheer curtains, we’ve compiled a list of trendy ideas we found fascinating based on our experience as interior design professionals and assigned them to different spaces in a house. &nbsp;<h2>Living Room</h2>Sheer curtains for the <a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes/sheer-curtains?Room+Type=Living+Room">living room</a> offer a simple yet effective way to enhance both the look and feel of the space. Here are a couple of trendy ways to use them to get the best effect: &nbsp;<h3>1. Floor-to-Ceiling Drama</h3>When used right, sheer window treatments can make a living room feel&nbsp;more spacious and airy. Choose panels that run from floor to ceiling to instantly&nbsp;add height&nbsp;and a sense of openness to the room. This is particularly effective in spaces with tall ceilings.&nbsp;To keep the look modern, use minimal or "invisible" hardware, which lets the curtains take center stage without overpowering the room. The soft flow of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes/sheer-curtains">sheer drapes</a> enhances the space, letting natural light flood in while still maintaining privacy.&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1752570477_e26ba8ef902a1a5cb737.png"></figure>Sheer Curtain - Pinch Pleat - Light GreyWaterfall-style look in single, double, or triple pinch<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes/sheer-curtains/sheer-curtains/1212965/customize">Customize and Order</a>https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes/sheer-curtains/sheer-curtains/1212965</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> &nbsp;<h3>2. Large Window Frame With Unobscured View</h3>Sheer curtains can also frame large windows beautifully without obscuring the view.&nbsp;Instead of heavy drapes, use light-filtering fabric to add texture and elegance while allowing the landscape to remain part of the decor. Ideal for&nbsp;picture or bay windows, they keep the space bright and warm, with natural light pouring in.&nbsp;Pro Tip: Layer curtains and use tiebacks to gather the fabric mid-height to add shape and accentuate your window. &nbsp;<h2>Bedroom</h2>When it comes to window treatment, the bedroom calls for privacy and high filtration. However,&nbsp;modern sheer curtain ideas going around online and in the interior design community indicate that there are clever ways to integrate translucent window treatments within this private space: &nbsp;<h3>3. Layering With Blackout Curtains</h3>Want to know&nbsp;how to style sheer curtains for better versatility? Layer them with blackout drapes using&nbsp;double rods.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes?material=blackout&amp;min=100&amp;max=200">Blackout curtains</a> are great for blocking light in bedrooms, but sheer curtains can bring light and a sense of space. Double rods allow you to keep these two separate so you can&nbsp;adjust light levels as needed without changing the window treatments.&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1752570343_7cc7938ced1afdcaf866.png"></figure>Antartica Blackout Curtain - Pinch Pleat - BrownWaterfall-style look in single, double, or triple pinch<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes/blackout-curtains/blackout-curtains/1360466/customize">Customize and Order</a>https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes/blackout-curtains/blackout-curtains/1360466</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> &nbsp;<h3>4. Canopy Bed Illusion</h3>Sheer curtains make four-poster beds feel even more magical. You can either let them flow freely from the posts or tie them back for a more structured look.&nbsp;No four-poster bed? Not a problem. Simply&nbsp;mount curtain rods on the ceiling above the bed, spaced wide enough to cover the entire width of the bed. This creates the illusion of a floating canopy, which then creates a dreamy effect when complemented with fairy lights or pendant lamps. &nbsp;<h2>Kitchen</h2>Light-filtering curtains let natural light into the kitchen while softening the harshness of direct sunlight. This can make the room feel&nbsp;brighter and more open, without the glare that can come from larger windows or direct sun exposure.&nbsp;Here are some clever tricks you can use to enhance your kitchen’s aesthetic with translucent window treatments: &nbsp;<h3>5. Café-Style Half Curtains</h3>For some homes, the kitchen also serves as a place for entertaining guests. If you want it to impress, consider using sheer fabric for café-style half curtains.&nbsp;Install a curtain rod or tension rod at&nbsp;mid-height and use tiebacks for a structured look. This design adds charm and allows you to create a casual, inviting vibe while maintaining a good flow of natural light. &nbsp;<h3>6. Rodless Drapes Over Open Shelving</h3>Do you have open shelving in your kitchen? Draping rodless curtains over them is an excellent&nbsp;sheer window treatment idea to spruce up your kitchen.&nbsp;This simple styling trick helps conceal clutter while still showcasing your shelves’ contents. The soft texture of the fabric contrasts perfectly with hard materials like glass or metal, adding a soft, layered feel to the space. It’s an easy, budget-friendly way to enhance your kitchen’s look. &nbsp;<h2>Home Office</h2>Productivity and comfort are essential in a home office. To achieve both, you require&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/blinds-shades/office-blinds">office shades</a> that support illumination without glare and create an environment that promotes focus and creativity.&nbsp;Below are some&nbsp;sheer curtain hanging ideas you can try for your home office: &nbsp;<h3>7. Zoned Light Control</h3>Sheer drapes are excellent for&nbsp;softly filtering daylight, offering ideal brightness for a workspace by reducing harsh glare. Pair them with woven shades or blinds for adjustable light control, giving you the flexibility to adapt to different times of the day and your lighting needs. &nbsp;<h3>8. Statement Divider for Open Layouts</h3>In open-plan spaces, sheer curtains can create a&nbsp;light partition, separating your workspace from other areas without the need for permanent walls. This solution maintains an open feel while offering privacy, helping to define distinct areas and keep the flow of the space intact.&nbsp;It’s a simple, stylish solution for creating boundaries in a&nbsp;multi-use space. &nbsp;<h2>Outdoor Living Areas</h2>Outdoor spaces can also benefit from sheer drapes. Here are a few i

Ever imagined extending your living space outdoors?&nbsp;Properties with&nbsp;landscaped and ornately decorated outdoor areas&nbsp;have a certain appeal that draws the eye. If you own a place like this, you might even feel a sense of pride knowing that the gorgeous exterior living space everyone in the neighborhood is praising is&nbsp;yours.&nbsp;Beyond appearances, these outdoor areas also give you something to look forward to, especially after a tiring day at work. Sure, you can lounge indoors anytime you feel like it – but when the weather is perfect, a&nbsp;beautiful and comfortable nook&nbsp;just waiting to nestle you outside definitely takes the cake.&nbsp;Inspired? Here, we’ll share some of the&nbsp;best&nbsp;outdoor living space ideas&nbsp;you can try to enjoy your front or backyard more. &nbsp;<h2>Go Bold and Bright</h2>Lean into the vibrant outdoor ambiance by decorating with bold and bright colors.&nbsp;While earthy tones can work well in your indoor living room, these hues tend to shrink and just blend into the surrounding landscape (and not in the best way) if used outside. In some cases, they may even appear dull, especially when used as the primary color in the entire arrangement.&nbsp;Conversely, black is a sleek and chic color choice inside the house. However, pieces of furniture in this hue get very hot when placed under the sun.&nbsp;So go for&nbsp;bright red, yellow, and blue&nbsp;furniture to complement the greens and browns around your house. If you’re not a fan of bold tones for your outdoor sofa, try applying them to your decoration instead. This includes smaller elements like&nbsp;cushions, rugs, and accent chairs. &nbsp;<h2>Build a Cozy Nook</h2>You shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort over style and vice versa. Remember: You’re building an outdoor living area that is both&nbsp;pretty and functional.&nbsp;When deciding on&nbsp;outdoor living furniture, always&nbsp;consider whether you would want to sit in it for hours&nbsp;while basking in the beauty of nature or reading a good book. After all, we don’t buy furniture just to take pictures of it to post on social media.&nbsp;You can add cozy pieces like an oversized swing set with a cushion or lounge chair. Just remember to look at the bigger picture to ensure they don’t look out of place. Or, better yet, design the rest of the space around these larger pieces. &nbsp;<h2>Add a Twist to Your Pergola</h2>Shade&nbsp;is a must when decorating an outdoor living area, not only to protect against the sun but also to maintain your privacy.&nbsp;Among the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/outdoor">outdoor shade</a> options available,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/outdoor/pergolas">pergolas</a> are one of our favorites because they provide a shady but breezy area and help define the seating space. With their characteristic&nbsp;roof grid&nbsp;supported by sleek and sturdy columns, they can also help create a cozy dining space for you and your family.&nbsp;Besides opting for&nbsp;contemporary pergola designs, you can add a twist by hanging a string of&nbsp;pendant lights&nbsp;so the fun and bonding can continue even after the sun has set. &nbsp;<h2>Be Creative in Protecting Your Privacy</h2>Privacy is a critical element in any&nbsp;outdoor living space. In addition to pergolas, canopies and a privacy wall can shield your outdoor area from prying eyes.&nbsp;Canopies&nbsp;are available in all shapes and sizes. If you have an existing pergola, you can install a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/outdoor/canopies">roll-up canopy</a> that can be adjusted based on the time of day.&nbsp;Meanwhile,&nbsp;privacy walls&nbsp;can be made of just about anything: wicker, plastic, wooden planks. There are also several styles to choose from, including stockade, shadow box, lock board, and lattice. &nbsp;<h2>Get Inspired by Nature</h2>We like&nbsp;outdoor living spaces because they serve as a&nbsp;bridge between manmade comfort and nature’s healing embrace.&nbsp;To get the best of both worlds, build an&nbsp;outdoor garden design inspired by nature. Think&nbsp;wicker&nbsp;baskets,&nbsp;rattan&nbsp;furniture, and&nbsp;linen&nbsp;cushions. If you have a pergola, you can also decorate with real and artificial vines and hanging planters for a whimsical, fairytale-like look. &nbsp;<h2>Install Dramatic Lighting</h2>Lights are among the most cost-effective&nbsp;outdoor garden decors you can invest in because they combine function and style.&nbsp;Besides pendant lights in pergolas, there are plenty of lighting options you can try to create drama in your&nbsp;outdoor living space:<ul><li>Drape&nbsp;fairy lights or small Christmas lights&nbsp;over bushes and your privacy wall to create an enchanted look.</li><li>Accentuate focal elements like topiaries, sculptures, or outdoor art with&nbsp;spotlights.&nbsp;Aim them upwards&nbsp;to highlight a specific feature and adjust the distance based on the effect you want to achieve. The closer it is, the more precise the features are highlighted.</li></ul>&nbsp;Remember: Good lighting&nbsp;accentuates the good side of your outdoor area&nbsp;while letting the less appealing elements fade into the background.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Prioritize Elements That Matter Most</h2>We know it’s tempting to add everything to your outdoor space, but you must resist the urge. More isn’t necessarily better in this case, as adding too many elements&nbsp;defeats the purpose&nbsp;of having a relaxing haven just outside your doorstep.&nbsp;Adding too many things – whether furnishings or decorations – may&nbsp;impede the flow of movement in the space. They can also make the area look cramped and cluttered, which is not ideal if you’re trying to build a place for chilling out after a tiring day.&nbsp;Instead, focus on the&nbsp;elements that mean the most to you. For example, if you’re planning to host guests and dine outdoors, then by all means, build an outdoor kitchen. But if you only want a quiet place where you can read a good book, a cozy nook is more than enough.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Enjoy the Best of Both Worlds</h2>Outdoor living spaces enhance your property’s aesthetic appeal and let you enjoy the best of indoor comfort and outdoor relaxation. Build your own today and relish the joys of a quiet weekend at home.&nbsp;Looking for high-end outdoor blinds or&nbsp;custom pergola designs for your outdoor space? Sedar Global is here to help.

Outdoor Living Space Ideas for Comfort and Aesthetic Appeal(CLONED)

Wallpaper is just paper you hang on walls, but its mere presence can transform your home, alter its vibe and elevate its style. Indeed, your&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper">home wallpaper</a> can be quite powerful, although you must use it with care.&nbsp;Wallpaper seems to cycle between periods of popularity and obscurity. One generation of people would use it on every available surface, and the next generation couldn’t wait to strip it off their walls.&nbsp;Today, wallpaper is back with a vengeance, and&nbsp;cool wallpaper ideas abound. However, if you want your papered walls to pass the test of time and overcome the subsequent generation’s tendency to eschew everything old for all things new, you must be discerning in your&nbsp;home wallpaper design choices and practice restraint when executing&nbsp;wallpaper decoration plans. Trends may come and go, but as the luxury jewelry house Tiffany &amp; Co. likes to say, good taste is forever.&nbsp;<h3>1. Abstract</h3>Abstract refers to&nbsp;design that does not attempt to reflect real objects. It’s created using lines, colors, shapes, forms, strokes, blobs, or two or more of these combined.&nbsp;You cannot find actual drawings of flowers, trees, rocks, clouds, animals, or any real object – animate or inanimate – on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper?Design=Abstract">abstract wallpaper</a>. However, abstract wallpapers may inadvertently (or inadvertently) evoke real and relatable objects and sceneries.&nbsp;Take the violet wallpaper design from Jannelli &amp; Volpi (see below). This abstract&nbsp;house wallpaper shows blobs or gestural marks of muted pinks, purples, and beige, but it gives the impression of a field of violets or wildflowers viewed through a haze.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1727326548_62561c82ec43f5d3cb1b.jpg"></figure>Jannelli &amp; Volpi Wallpaper - Violet (5342)<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/jannelli-volpi/j-v/1037472">https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/jannelli-volpi/j-v/1037472</a>&nbsp;<h4>Why Abstract Wallpaper</h4>Abstract wallpaper is&nbsp;an excellent option for minimalist interiors. However, abstract design can complement many types of aesthetics. For instance, the above wallpaper from Jannelli &amp; Volpi can actually work in a bohemian bedroom.&nbsp;These wallpapers are highly versatile. Since they are non-objective, they can be interpreted and received in many ways. They can engage attention and the imagination. Lighting can alter how they’re perceived, and the colors, furniture, and furnishings in a room affect how they appear. &nbsp;Abstract wallpapers are quite sophisticated&nbsp;as well, creating a certain mood or atmosphere and adding depth and texture to an interior without being literal. They are also quite effective in adding visual interest without overwhelming the space.&nbsp;We have many&nbsp;abstract wallpaper designs. Below are a few of them:&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1727326890_7fbbb74d78dafc0ee39d.jpg"></figure>Versace Wallpaper - Yellow (IV-37048-4)<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/versace-home/versace-home/1145418">https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/versace-home/versace-home/1145418</a>(Also available in Ivory, Green, Blue, and Black)&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1727326980_493b76d9a72c3ddf3301.jpg"></figure>Armani Casa Exclusive Wallcoverings - Light Brown (GA5-9510)<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/armani-casa/armani-casa/1097989">https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/armani-casa/armani-casa/1097989</a>(Also available in Ivory, Blue, Green, Silver, and Beige)&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1727327092_7c435e4505a625da15dd.jpg"></figure>Premium Collection Wallpaper - Beige (A8010205)<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/premium-collection/premium-collection/1101277">https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/premium-collection/premium-collection/1101277</a>(Also available in Ivory)&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1727327216_68cd75c8d469c0ff7c77.jpg"></figure>Missoni Home Wallcovering - Golden Oak (10260)<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/missoni-home/missoni-home/1248374">https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/missoni-home/missoni-home/1248374</a>&nbsp;<h3>2. Floral</h3><a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper?Design=Floral">Floral wallpapers</a>&nbsp;depict flowers, leaves, trees, and other botanical themes and come in pastel hues or vibrant jewel tones.

This Graceful Orchids panel wallpaper is an example.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1727327350_153e8517ac3b2eeb9c7e.jpg"></figure>Graceful Orchids - 400x280cm - Purple (1414-SD)<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/mural-wallpaper/murals/1051970">https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/mural-wallpaper/murals/1051970</a>&nbsp;Floral wallpapers&nbsp;can also be stylized and minimalist or a mix of realistic and stylized.

The light brown Marco Polo floral wallpaper is a case in point.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.sedarglobal.com/uploads/100001/content/blog/1727327443_56c3378b546c49d47ffd.jpg"></figure>Marco Polo Wallpaper - Light Brown (5014-GEN)<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/marco-polo/marco-polo/1018455">https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/wallpaper/marco-polo/marco-polo/1018455</a>(Also available in Brown)&nbsp;<h4>Why Floral Wallpaper</h4>A floral panel wallpaper can make an&nbsp;excellent feature or accent wall.

Elevate Your Home With These Stylish Wallpaper Designs

Windows are one of the most important components of any home. They naturally&nbsp;brighten and ventilate spaces&nbsp;and function as additional security and safety features.&nbsp;These fixtures improve the energy efficiency of a home as well as contribute to its overall aesthetics.&nbsp;But even if you have the most perfect-looking windows, there is always room for improvement. You can do this by dressing them with the right treatments.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes?">Curtains</a>, drapes, blinds, and other window coverings can effortlessly boost your windows’ functionality and appeal, as well enhance the privacy of a space. Each option has its advantages, which is why there’s a never-ending debate about them, particularly between&nbsp;blinds and curtains.&nbsp;<h3>Window Blinds vs. Curtains</h3>Curtains and blinds are the two most popular window treatments since they both offer remarkable benefits.&nbsp;Below is an overview of these window-covering options:&nbsp;<h4>Curtains</h4>Curtains are&nbsp;window coverings made of fabric, such as linen, cotton, voile, silk, and velvet. They are effective in blocking or reducing the light and air entering rooms.&nbsp;These window treatments offer the following benefits:<ul><li>They provide spaces with better insulation and soundproofing since they do not have gaps and cover the entire window.</li><li>Their design and material make rooms more energy-efficient.</li><li>They offer more options since they come in different fabrics, designs, colors, and patterns.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>They make spaces more appealing and even function as additional style statements.</li></ul>&nbsp;The many types and styles of curtains make them&nbsp;ideal window coverings for different interior design styles, from traditional to contemporary. Moreover, they can be used in most room types.&nbsp;<h4>Blinds</h4>These&nbsp;hard window coverings feature slats or sections fastened together.&nbsp;You can open and close blinds by using a built-in control mechanism, such as strings, pole or stick, beaded chord, or remote control.&nbsp; Blinds are typically made of vinyl, PVC, natural wood, faux wood, aluminum, and other rigid, tough materials.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/blinds-shades/roller-shades">Roller blinds</a>, in particular, are popular options since they are easy to operate, space-saving, and have a tidy, modern look. They also come in a variety of materials, including translucent, blackout, and thermal fabric, giving you plenty of choices in terms of light and privacy control and insulation.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/blinds-shades">Window blinds</a> offer the following benefits:<ul><li>They provide more options for controlling the light entering spaces.</li><li>They are easy to clean.</li><li>They are more durable and tend to last longer.</li><li>They come in various types and designs and have different slat sizes.</li><li>They are more affordable and cost-efficient than curtains.</li></ul>&nbsp;Blinds&nbsp;give spaces a modern, more minimal look and feel. Their versatility and functionality make them ideal window treatments for any room.&nbsp;<h3>Choosing Between Curtains and Blinds</h3>The benefits offered by both curtains and blinds may lead to some confusion about choosing the best one for certain spaces.&nbsp;If you want to get the right window treatment for a room or space, consider these key factors:&nbsp;<h4>1. The type of room</h4>Although both curtains and blinds work well in most rooms, curtains are more eye-catching and attractive. As such, they are&nbsp;more suitable for living rooms and bedrooms, which can always use an additional touch of appeal, warmth, and glamor.&nbsp;Since blinds are easier to clean, more durable, and moisture-resistant, they work&nbsp;best for kitchens and bathrooms where they can get wet and quickly get dirty.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h4>2. Room size</h4>Curtains are your best option if you&nbsp;have a large space and want to make it look and feel more sophisticated. For instance, floor-length velvet and<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/curtains-and-drapes/tailored-pleat-curtain">&nbsp;</a><a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/curtains-and-drapes/fabric-curtain-ripple-fold">ripple fold curtains</a> can give a spacious room that elegant touch it needs.&nbsp;Blinds are more suitable if you need to buy window treatments for a&nbsp;studio-type apartment or small room.&nbsp;<h4>3. Light control</h4>Choose blinds if you want a single window treatment that is&nbsp;easy to operate to let in and block out light in your rooms.&nbsp;However, if you’re open to getting different types of curtains for light control, go for this option. Opt for blackout curtains if you want a dark bedroom for better sleep quality. Sheer ones are perfect for living rooms that require more daylight.&nbsp;<h4>4. Sound control</h4>If you live in a noisy neighborhood,&nbsp;curtains made of thick fabric, such as velvet, can help buffer the noise from outside.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/blinds-shades/pleated-blinds">Honeycomb pleated blinds</a> or cellular shades can also cancel outside noise if you’re looking for something more cost-efficient.&nbsp;<h4>5. Maintenance&nbsp;</h4>Curtains tend to accumulate dirt and dust easily, which is why you need to vacuum them frequently. You should also wash them regularly to keep them clean and appealing.&nbsp;If you&nbsp;don’t want to add washing your window treatments to your regular chores, opt for blinds. You can use a vacuum or duster to remove dust quickly and give them quick wipe down every week or so for a more thorough cleaning.&nbsp;<h4>6. Longevity</h4>Blinds are excellent choices if you want long-lasting window treatments. They are made of more durable materials and, with proper maintenance, can stay functional and look great for years.&nbsp;Silk and linen curtains can also last for years but can be easily damaged, so you need to be extra careful when choosing these window coverings.&nbsp;Keep in mind that you don’t always have to adhere to the&nbsp;blinds vs. curtains concept. You can combine these two window treatments for your spaces, too.&nbsp;When you layer window treatments, you can have a more appealing and functional space. When combined correctly, you also improve privacy in the room, and achieve better light and sound control.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>A Guide to Pairing Blinds and Curtains</h3>If you’re pairing curtains and blinds for the first time, follow these simple tips:&nbsp;<h4>1. Consider the room.</h4>Some combinations work best for certain rooms and requirements. For instance, if you need to sleep during the day, pair blackout curtains and fabric blinds in your bedroom for a darker, more sleep-conducive room.&nbsp;If you want you to brighten or darken your living room without difficulties, combine dark curtains with sunscreen roller blinds, which are excellent&nbsp;blinds for living rooms.&nbsp;Sunscreen roller blinds are made of a mesh type fabric that lets natural light in while preventing glare and UV radiation from entering the space. These blinds also let you see outside during the day and provide sufficient daytime privacy, unl

Curtains vs. Blinds: Which Is Better?

While sometimes overlooked by the untrained eye,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes">curtains and drapes</a> are indispensable to interior design. More importantly, they serve various purposes, including:&nbsp; &nbsp;• Filtering light&nbsp; &nbsp;• Regulating temperature&nbsp; &nbsp;• Reducing noise&nbsp; &nbsp;• Enhancing privacy&nbsp;This interior design element is crucial, especially in spaces we consider our sanctuary. After all, you can’t possibly design the most comfortable bedroom without curtains adorning the windows.&nbsp;Are you sprucing up your room? Here are 10&nbsp;bedroom curtain ideas we recommend you try today:&nbsp;<h3>1. Layered Curtains</h3>If you want to add depth and sophistication to your bedroom, consider layering curtains. You can do this by installing heavy drapes on top and sheer ones underneath.&nbsp;Besides enhancing the room’s aesthetic appeal,&nbsp;layering curtains&nbsp;lets you&nbsp;control how much light&nbsp;comes through the windows. It’s a good way to maintain privacy while giving you the option to let a bit of light enter your bedroom during the day.&nbsp;Want to enjoy the view from your window without compromising your privacy? Slide the heavy fabric to the side and keep the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes/sheer-curtains">sheer curtains</a> in place to let a bit of sunlight filter through.&nbsp;After the sun sets, you can close the blackout curtains and relish a cozy and peaceful evening in your inner sanctum.&nbsp;<h3>2. Floor-Length Drapes</h3>Inject a sense of grandeur to your bedroom with drapes running from the ceiling to the floor. This curtain style creates an&nbsp;illusion of a larger room&nbsp;and adds a mesmerizing visual effect to anyone who enters.&nbsp;Floor-to-ceiling drapes are popular in the United Arab Emirates, particularly in Dubai, because they&nbsp;complement high ceilings perfectly.&nbsp;<h3>3. Tropical, Floral and Botanical Prints</h3>Want to picture a view of the mountains or a forest landscape in your bedroom even though you live in the city? Let your imagination fly and bring nature in with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/the-met">custom-fabric panels</a>.&nbsp;Whether it’s a soothing green image featuring large tropical plants or a picture filled with rosy pink florals, you can transform your bedroom into a&nbsp;tropical wonderland&nbsp;by capturing the beauty of the great outdoors in your&nbsp;curtain design.&nbsp;With the right color and style, you can add some organic charm to your bedroom that appeals to your imagination.&nbsp;<h3>4. Striped Curtains</h3>Whether you’re going for a minimalist bedroom or want to create the illusion of a taller space, striped curtains are the perfect choice among the&nbsp;curtain designs available today. Depending on the specific pattern, these window coverings can offer a&nbsp;playful touch, bring a&nbsp;dynamic character, or add&nbsp;visual interest&nbsp;and a sense of movement to your bedroom.&nbsp;While they are primarily used for spaces with a lively atmosphere (e.g., living rooms and children’s rooms), (subtly) striped drapes in bedrooms can also be used to complement solid-colored furniture and intricate patterns.&nbsp;<h3>5. Curtain Borders</h3>Not a big fan of prints but still want some kind of accent to inject personality into your bedroom? Consider curtain borders.&nbsp;Floor-length drapes with&nbsp;ornately embroidered borders&nbsp;can lend any room a regal and dignified aesthetic.&nbsp;<h3>6. Linen Drapes</h3>Made from billowy fabric, linen curtains cast soft shadows that imbue the room with a sense of&nbsp;calm and peace&nbsp;— something everyone needs for their bedroom.&nbsp;<h3>7. Ombre-Effect Curtains</h3>Want to infuse visual interest and depth while maintaining a contemporary look for your space? Consider installing custom-printed ombre drapes.&nbsp;Featuring&nbsp;gradient colors smoothly transitioning from top to bottom, this&nbsp;curtain design plays with our sense of perception and gives the room an illusion of height.&nbsp;<h3>8. Subtle Prints</h3>Prints don’t always have to be bold. Many homeowners prefer subtle patterns for curtains, especially for bedrooms. These designs&nbsp;add personality, texture, and depth&nbsp;to the room without overpowering the rest of the interior design. Moreover, subtle prints create a&nbsp;well-curated look, lending the room a cohesive appearance.&nbsp;<h3>9. Semi-Sheer Drapes</h3>Using sheer drapes alone can make the bedroom too bright for sleep. Fortunately, there are ways to use sheer fabrics for your window treatments and still enjoy a good night’s rest.&nbsp;Besides layering them with blackout curtains, you can also opt for semi-sheer drapes. These window coverings are a great choice for&nbsp;bedrooms with only one window or minimal sources of natural light. They let just enough light in to help ensure your comfort, so you get some quality sleep.&nbsp;<h3>10. Tieback Blackout Window Covers</h3>Bedroom curtains in many homes are considered blackout because they can keep the sunlight out completely.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes?material=blackout&amp;min=100&amp;max=200">Blackout curtains</a> also protect you from prying eyes, making them perfect for private spaces like the bedroom.&nbsp;If you want to completely block the view from outside while still having the option to open the room during the day, we recommend you use tieback curtains. These are the perfect&nbsp;alternative to layered drapes, as they let you control the amount of light that enters your room.&nbsp;Tieback curtains also conceal part of the bedroom, creating a partially open effect that can brighten your space while maintaining a certain level of privacy. Aesthetics-wise, tieback drapes also imbue a&nbsp;neat and polished&nbsp;look to any space.&nbsp;<h3>Master Bedroom Curtain Couture</h3>Spruce up your bedroom and enjoy controlled light and privacy with these popular&nbsp;curtain ideas. From layering sheer and blackout drapes to using custom-printed, embroidered, and tieback curtains, this guide offers plenty of options for you.&nbsp;Need some more&nbsp;curtain design ideas? Consult our experts at Sedar Global. We offer a wide range of high-quality, customizable curtains and drapes and provide professional advice that will help you make the right decision for your home.

A small living space with a balance of class and comfort

Which do you think is better:&nbsp;curtains or drapes?&nbsp;As a homeowner looking to refresh your living space, your answer to this question can make a big difference in the overall look and feel of a room.&nbsp;Although many people use the terms interchangeably,&nbsp;drapes and curtains are two different types of window covering. Despite their resemblance, subtle distinctions set them apart from each other.&nbsp;Choosing between the two should be more than a passing thought. This blog covers the&nbsp;key differences between&nbsp;curtains and drapes&nbsp;and the&nbsp;factors you must consider&nbsp;when shopping for window treatments.&nbsp;<h3>Key Differences Between&nbsp;Curtains and Drapes</h3>Curtains and drapes are window treatments made from fabric that hangs on a rod. These two types of window dressing are very similar in how they operate. Both have either:&nbsp; &nbsp;• Two panels that open from the center (an application called “split-draw”) or&nbsp; &nbsp;• One panel that opens from either side of the windows (left- or right-draw).&nbsp;Drapes and curtains vary mainly in the fabric they're made of.&nbsp;Most&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes">curtains</a> are made from lightweight materials&nbsp;and they are often unlined. Curtains may also have a sheer appearance that only filters light instead of blocking it out completely. Sometimes, the word curtains describes shorter panels that cover the window but do not reach the floor.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the other hand, drapes are floor length or longer and are always tailored from&nbsp;heavier&nbsp;fabrics. They can also come&nbsp;with backlinings&nbsp;that prevent light from passing through. Lined drapes are often called blackout drapes because they help keep the room dark.&nbsp;We’ll discuss this in more detail in the following section.&nbsp;<h3>Curtains vs. Drapes: What to Consider When Choosing</h3>Now that you understand how the two differ, it’s time to pick which one is best for the room you’re decorating.&nbsp;We listed several factors you must think about to make the decision-making process easier:&nbsp;<h4>Functionality</h4>Window treatments serve as more than decorative ornaments. Window dressings help&nbsp;control the light&nbsp;that passes through the windows and&nbsp;improve privacy. Moreover, curtains and&nbsp;drapes&nbsp;insulate the room&nbsp;and offer a certain level of&nbsp;soundproofing.&nbsp;Consider the level of light control you need for the space. Certain rooms benefit from the sheer fabric that most curtains are made of because it lets a good amount of natural light inside. Meanwhile, spaces that need to be darker may work better with&nbsp;drapes.&nbsp;Take note, however, that certain types of curtains can block almost 100 percent of light. These are known as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/curtains-and-drapes?material=blackout&amp;min=100&amp;max=200">blackout curtains</a>.&nbsp;Aside from light, you must also consider how much privacy is necessary for the room you’re designing. If you need to keep the room more private,&nbsp;drapes may be the better choice because of their heavy fabric material and full-length design. The same can be said for noise and temperature insulation.&nbsp;Of course, there are other factors you must consider before choosing between the two, so it’s best that you read the rest before making a decision.&nbsp;<h4>Fabric</h4>As mentioned earlier, the main distinction between&nbsp;drapes and curtains is the materials used to make them.&nbsp;Every fabric appears different when hung, pleated, or drawn back. You need to understand how the two window coverings work for the space you’re decorating.&nbsp;Drapes&nbsp;usually come in heavier fabrics, like&nbsp;velvet or silk, giving the room&nbsp;a more luxurious look. This heaviness also lends drapes the capacity to block light and offer good insulation.&nbsp;Meanwhile, most&nbsp;curtains&nbsp;are made from lighter materials like&nbsp;linen or cotton that give off a more casual and relaxed atmosphere. These window treatments offer a certain level of light control and privacy, though less than&nbsp;drapes (with the exception of blackout curtains).&nbsp;<h4>Fullness and Length</h4>Most&nbsp;drapes&nbsp;extend to the floor, sometimes puddling down to create a flowing look. This quality helps them block out light and provides greater insulation than curtains.&nbsp;Conversely, curtains are only typically made to cover&nbsp;just up to the sill, extending a few inches below the window. Because they are shorter and less full, they give off a breezy charm that perfectly suits living rooms. However, curtains of lighter-weight fabric can be custom-made to extend down to the floor, as there is no standard length for this type of window covering.&nbsp;<h4>Installation and Support</h4>Besides being installed in the same way,&nbsp;curtains and drapes can also have similar accessories, such as:&nbsp; &nbsp;• Rings&nbsp; &nbsp;• Grommets&nbsp; &nbsp;• Valances&nbsp; &nbsp;• Fabric sleeves&nbsp;Both hang on rods, though&nbsp;drapes typically need thicker, more heavy-duty&nbsp;ones to support the weight of their full volume and length.&nbsp;For formal settings,&nbsp;drapes are often decorated with ornate accessories. Meanwhile, curtains can be hung on lightweight or tension rods and require less hardware. You can also choose&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/curtains-and-drapes/curtain-with-embroidery">curtains with embroidery</a> if you want to make your window dressing more of a room feature without needing heavier hardware.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h4>Cost</h4>Because&nbsp;drapes are typically made from higher-end materials and are longer, they may cost more than curtains. Most applications of the latter also tend to require less fabric, so the total cost of making them is generally more affordable.&nbsp;Other factors that affect the cost&nbsp;of using each of these window coverings include&nbsp;installation, cleaning, and maintenance.&nbsp;Depending on when and where you purchase your&nbsp;curtains or drapes, you can also get deals that can lower your expenses while still achieving your desired look.&nbsp;<h4>Aesthetics</h4>Drapes and curtains create different atmospheres. While&nbsp;drapes’ heavier fabrics give off an air of sophistication perfect for formal spaces, curtains tend to appear more breezy and relaxed.&nbsp;Curtains offer endless style possibilities, too. Besides using different fabrics and accessories, you can use&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sedarglobal.com/uae-en/product/curtains-and-drapes/curtain-with-customized-printing-designs">custom-printed curtains</a> to dress up any room with unique prints.&nbsp;Both options offer a broad range of customization options, from minimalistic to bold aesthetics.&nbsp;<h3>Curtains vs. Drapes: The Winner</h3>In the contest between&nbsp;curtains and drapes,&nbsp;the winner should always be&nbsp;
