You might think choosing curtains is just about blocking out light and adding a bit of privacy… but let’s be real, it says a lot more than that. Your curtain style, fabric, and colour choice give away clues about your personality, your taste, and even how you live.
Whether you’re all about a big show of personality or keeping it calm and tidy, there’s a curtain type that suits your vibe. So… what do your curtain choices say about you?
The Minimalist: Calm, Clean, and Clutter-Free
If you’ve gone for eyelet curtains in soft greys, whites, or warm neutrals, you’re probably someone who loves clean spaces and good lighting. You’re not into fuss, just sleek lines, tonal palettes, and unfussy finishes.
Wave headers and lightweight fabrics are your thing. You’ve likely got neat shelving, minimal accessories, and a love of open-plan spaces. You don’t do chaos, and your curtain choice reflects that. You’re cool, considered, and effortlessly stylish.
The Maximalist: Statement-Maker with Serious Style
Patterned curtains? Bold colours? Dramatic prints? You’re a maximalist through and through. You love a bit of personality in every room and your curtains are just another canvas to express it.
You’re not afraid to clash colours, mix florals with geometrics, or add velvet where most people would panic. Your house is a treasure trove of interesting pieces and layered textures, and your curtains are 100% part of the show. You’re fearless and full of flair.
The Traditionalist: Classic and Comfortable
Pinch pleats, heavy fabric, and timeless colours like navy, beige or soft burgundy? You’re all about a home that feels warm, welcoming, and well put together. You appreciate craftsmanship and value quality; you aren’t here to join in with passing trends.
You probably grew up in a house where curtains were lined, tied back, and hung with care, and you’re continuing that tradition beautifully. You love a matching look, symmetrical furniture, and interiors that stand the test of time. You’re dependable, thoughtful, and classy.
The Trend-Chaser: Ahead of the Curve
Got linen-blend cafe curtains in your kitchen and sheer wave curtains in your lounge? You’ve definitely got a Pinterest board titled “Dream House” and you know exactly what shade of sage green is hot right now.
You love mixing textures and experimenting with new looks. Whether it’s colour-drenched walls or layered window treatments, you’re always trying something fresh. You’re creative, curious, and never afraid of change — your curtain choices evolve just as fast as your interiors.
One Thing’s True for Everyone: Fit Matters
Whatever your curtain personality, one thing’s non-negotiable: they need to fit your windows properly. And let’s be honest, ready-mades? They never get it quite right. Whether they puddle too much, don’t quite colour-match with your room, or let in that annoying strip of light, they usually miss the mark.
Made-to-measure curtains, on the other hand, are tailored to your exact space. Perfect width, perfect drop, perfect lining. It’s the finishing touch that makes the whole room feel intentional.
