Achieving the Country Cottage Feel with the Use of Swag Curtains
Most country decorating additions use log cabin-inspired themes, checked quilts and the placement of tart burners in various places around the house.The perfect accent to use when trying to achieve the country cottage/shabby chic theme of your home is to use swag country curtains. The swag style refers to a large draped area the curtain uses in its design. This draped area is generally found on the top of the curtain, but might also be referred to as the side design. Side swags are the type of panel usually hung on a rod and pulled back with a tie. By pulling these panels back, you create the swag or draped appearance. This particular style is often preferred for kitchen windows and can have the addition of a valance.
This design works well for several different types of rooms and is quick to hang up. Swag curtains in this long draped design are a good choice for people on a budget who can’t afford a formal style of drapes and panels for their living or dining room. What is great about using curtain swags is that they can also be used in combination with shades, blinds or sheer window panels. If you are looking to be creative in your window treatment, the swag might be just what you want.
