White tab top curtains are a decorators dream. These adaptable curtains freshen and brighten any room they are placed. They are often used to frame the view through each window, expanding the space from the confines of the room into the great outdoors. There are many ways to achieve the desired results by the choice of the curtains themselves and the decorative curtain rod holding them in place.
These crisp, clean curtains make the space look larger and lighter by the introduction of white. The white may be brilliant white, soft white, ivory or cream colored depending on the need. Soft and sheer or almost sheer curtains create a muted, foamy frame to the window while heavier material creates a starched and straight edge with a more formal look and feel. Lightweight cottons lend themselves to a fun, flirty decor.
The decorative rod holding the white tab top curtains in place is the final touch in creating exactly the right look. This rod may be a bold color like red, green, blue or black repeating the accent color of the room. It may be an ornate rod of wrought iron or brass. These rods can be slim, refined with unobtrusive end caps or thick, and stately with ornate caps.
Correctly chosen and assembled, the unit will frame the window like a massive frame on an expensive piece of artwork and accomplish the same thing. The white curtains and decorative rod draw the attention of anyone who enters the room and allow a glimpse of nature in all its gory just outside the window. Even with the curtains closed, the eyes are drawn to this space and the mind wonders what is hidden behind this veil of white. It is easy for a creative decorator to use these to frame and display wonderful vistas or just too bright and lighten a dull and drab room.
