Thinking about getting a new home security system? Deliberating over adopting a guard dog? According to new research by Rightmove and Dr Beckmann, there\u2019s no longer any need. Apparently, people are now turning to a simpler and more cost-effective way to hide their valuables from prying eyes \u2013 hanging net curtains.<\/p>\n
Net curtains tend to fit into more traditional settings and are definitely not a friend of the modern and contemporary home. As a result, until recently, the sale of net curtains has been in steady decline.<\/p>\n
As revealed by the Conservative Party, the rate of domestic burglaries has increased for the first time in six years. This coincides with information from Dr Beckmann, the company that makes Net Curtain Whitener, saying that sales of their product have increased by almost 20% in the UK \u2013 leading us to believe that net curtains have similarly grown in popularity.Good old fashioned net curtains are in fact a great way to keep whatever you\u2019ve got in your home hidden, whilst still letting plenty of light through. As mentioned before however, net curtains just aren\u2019t suitable for homes decorated with a modern theme in mind. Luckily, there is another option \u2013 voiles.<\/p>\n
Voiles are very lightweight materials that can be made from linen, cotton or synthetic fabrics. They hang beautifully, look great and offer the privacy you need. They tend to suit more modern homes, so are perfect for new-age security enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
When choosing a pair of voile curtains, certain curtain headings look better than most. Some of these include: tie-top, tab top, slot top. These tend to look slightly better because they don\u2019t require a tape to be sewn to the top, meaning the curtains usually look neater.<\/p>\n
Another useful tip when buying voiles is to go for floor-length curtains, adding another couple of centimetres to the length so that they hang nicely on the floor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
