So you want to restyle your living room? You don’t have to think of anything grand and expensive just to brighten up your living room, you can start working on your window curtains. Stylish window curtains can create a great impact to your living room’s overall look. To help you start, here are some simple decorating ideas I got from styling experts:

1. If you have a plain curtain, you can spruce it up by attaching colorful flowers or leaves made of velvet scraps on top of the curtain. You can also sew decorative fringe, stylish ribbons or laces to the edges of the curtain to give it an elegant look.

2. For your plain tab-topped curtains, you can simply tie ribbons around the tabs like the way you tie a necktie and let the ribbons slip over the tabs. Use ribbons that match the color of your living room.

3. If you love to collect decorative beads, shells and sequins, you can personalize your curtains by stitching them to the hem of the curtain or to the edges of the pelmet.

Your options are endless, just be creative. Look around the house, for sure you’ll find something which you can use to decorate your windows and your curtains. Browse through old magazines to look for more ideas. Good luck!
