9. Short Bedroom Curtain Ideas

Not every home has a blessing like full-length windows, and that’s okay. By strategically placing your bedroom curtains, you can ensure your small bedroom looks and feels as open as possible.

Before you do anything else, it’s important to understand and work with the shape of your bedroom windows. Aim to have your curtains fall at or several inches below your windowsill.

If you want the illusion of taller windows without floor-length curtains, there’s another option. Hanging the curtain rod slightly above your window can work miracles. A carefully placed valance or pelmet can hide the fact that you installed your curtain rod several inches above the window frame.

10. Lace Bedroom Curtain Ideas

Despite what you might believe, lace is remarkably versatile (even in ways that buck the feminine stereotype). Ultimately, the type of lace and how you style it will determine the final look.

Floral lace is a staple of farmhouse decor, especially when paired with a textured fabric like burlap or canvas. On the other hand, geometric-patterned lace melds perfectly with modern Scandinavian design.

Lace curtains are a great way to invite natural light in while still enjoying some privacy. But, they certainly won’t replace blackout curtains. Play around with layering lace and heavier fabric to get the most out of your bedroom curtains’ functionality.

11. Sheer Bedroom Curtain Ideas

Not all spaces require hyper-functional bedroom curtain ideas. In spaces where natural light is a must and privacy is of little concern, sheer curtains provide the perfect compromise. White or off-white sheer curtains are a popular choice but don’t write off colored fabric.
