Stylish Window Treatments for Spring: Palazzo Curtains

Inspired by fashion Palazzo curtains have to be made from soft floaty fabrics such as silk (real or faux) or lightweight fabrics which catch the breeze of open windows. They also have to be voluminous and full length if they are to replicate Palazzo trousers correctly. Be sure that your curtains look like chic and sexy Palazzo trousers rather than bell-bottom pyjamas if you want to pull this style of window dressing off correctly.

The curtains have to be grand, sleek and eye-catching, in a similar vein to body shapes Palazzo curtains are ideal window dressings for tall, long windows (rather like fashion models) rather than short and squat shaped windows which won't really do them any justice.

With sheer lightweight fabrics it's easy to make your own cheap curtains in the Palazzo style – just make sure that you allow for plenty of fabric with and length and a neat heading (rather like a waistband on trousers) which gathers the volume of fabric up to a neat finish.

If you're looking for interior design ideas you won't go far wrong looking at the latest fashions – once the fashion shows are over we always see interiors following suit to a certain degree.
