One of the most important items in the home is curtains. If you are in the market for them, you probably need to know how to save money on curtains. Here are a few suggestions.
You need to figure out whether you are buying them used or new. Used are almost always cheaper, but make sure you find a place that have quality fabric.
Some skillful DIYers like to make custom curtains by buying fabrics themselves and putting them on. It's actually not that hard, but the lazy people obviously can't do this.
Blinds are actually better than curtains in many cases but make sure you are okay with the look of it before committing just because of the cost. After all, it's your house.
The less fabric, the cheaper the curtain. Since there's less material, the railing cost is also reduced so don't under estimate the savings you get with a smaller curtain.
Sometimes you can find cloth remnants at a very good price. If one shop doesn't have exactly what you need for all your rooms, another one will.
Thicker curtains are more expensive but they are generally not better looking. Match the colors and design of the room and you can probably use lighter, thinner curtains that fits the room.
Department stores is a great place to find fabric, and offers good deals whenever they have those regular sales. Don't always just settle with a specialty store.
Buying curtains that are already made can be an easier task if you have standard size windows. Of course you can always alter curtains to the size you need.
Stores, small ones especially are great with discounts. Always speak with the manager, or even better, the owner of the store and get the best deal possible. As with anything else, negotiation always works. - 29864
