Linen Curtains for the Dining Room

By Anita 23 Comments

I know some of you were wondering when the heck I would actually get some curtains for my house. Well the day has arrived.  I LOVE these gray linen curtains!!  To show you what the room looked like without the curtains, just take a look.

I think they added some softness to the room. Dining rooms don’t typically have a lot of fabric in them, so curtains really help soften the room, and bring in warmth and some color.  These curtains are gray linen from my partner BALLARD DESIGNS. They are even more beautiful in person.

Even though these curtains are gray, they still add a lot to the room. Did you notice the new rug?  More about that later.  If I had made these curtains, I actually wouldn’t have saved any money.  The linen fabric and the fabric for the liner would have cost about what the pre-made curtain cost.  They are fully lined and weighted.  It’s a no-brainer in my book.  If I can get a good deal on curtains, I’m going to buy them instead of making them.

Now I’m got more time to head over to the thrift store.  I wonder what they have today…

    Stunning! Window treatments in a room add such softness. These beautiful grey ones add softness and a quiet elegance as well.

    The curtains are nice, I really like the color but, the rods don’t do the curtains or the room justice. I think a white or gray washed wooden about 1 1/2″ or 2″ in diameter would really bring the windows and curtains into the same place as the rest of your room. Think about it of course that’s just my opinion.

    I agree on the purchasing vs. buying. I haven’t made any curtains in years. Although I do miss sewing.

    Your curtains look fabulous…love the gray.

    When you can find something you like that is ready made, it is often more economical to buy. The curtains look great, but I didn’t mind the windows without them either.

    Though I’m actually getting ready to sew draperies for my new cottage, I so get buying them if they look as great as these. And not everyone understands while weighting curtains is so important but they just give you the perfect “hang”, don’t they?
