Create A Real Christmas Atmosphere With Linen Curtains

Most people tend to think that their decorations at Christmas should be bright and sparkly

, but sometimes the simple things are best and you can create a real Christmas atmosphere with linen curtains. Natural linen curtains lend themselves to any dcor style or holiday trend. They can be dressed up to fit right in with a simple homey Christmas scheme or you can put an elegant twist on them.

Your Christmas curtains do not have to be red or green to be festive. Sometimes less is more, especially when it adorns your windows. Curtains are not only seen inside your home as people who walk or drive by will also be able to view them from the outside. What people see from the outside makes a statement about your style and taste inside.

Linen curtains are a very popular choice to invoke the feel of a country Christmas theme. It is as simple as trimming them with a red and green plaid ribbon or tying them back with the same ribbon. This will create a marvelous frame to surround your Christmas tree in the front window. This works just as well to frame outdoor window wreaths; just make sure to place the wreaths in the center of the tied back area. This simple window treatment will create a warm, cozy and inviting window display for the front of your home.

If you would like your Christmas atmosphere to be a little more glittery and elegant; linen curtains fit the bill perfectly. Trim the edges with shiny red or green strands of Christmas beads, faux rhinestones or sequins, or you can use the rhinestones or beads and tie the curtains back. Add a few tiny jingle bells along the edge, or other very small shiny Christmas ornaments. Just attach them with thread that can be removed with a snip of the scissors. Another idea for an elegant Christmas window is to tie back the linen curtains with a plain red or green velvet bow. Velvet adds its own elegance to any Christmas dcor. Finish the window treatment by hanging some shimmery red or green jewel tone sheers in the center if you want a little more privacy from your window, and you are not using it to frame your tree or a wreath.

The velvet bow tie back also offers other opportunities for understated holiday trimmings on linen fabrics. Attach a faux poinsettia or sprig of holiday greenery to the bow for an easy and effective presentation that is also understated rather than bold.

Linen fabrics also make a great table cloth for your holiday dinner and can be trimmed to match whatever style you choose for the windows. Any of these treatments for your linen fabric curtains are easily reversible when the holidays are over. The linen from which the curtains are made is machine washable which makes all the little Christmas party slashes and spills easy to remove. Once the holidays are over the trims come right off with no damage to your curtains, and a trip through the washing machine will have them looking like new.
