Have you ever walked into a room and felt like something was missing — even when the furniture was perfect and the walls freshly painted? That “missing piece” is often the right curtain. In this transformation story, we explore how Ceejayinteriors helped one Nigerian homeowner turn a dull, disjointed space into a cohesive, stunning masterpiece — all by choosing the right curtain styles, fabrics, and accessories.
If you’re looking for proof that curtains are not just window coverings but vital design statements, then this case study will convince you.
The Client Brief: A Beautiful Home with an Unfinished Feel
Mrs. Chioma, a homeowner in Gwarinpa, Abuja, had just completed furnishing her newly built 4-bedroom duplex. The furniture was modern, the floors marble-tiled, and the lighting carefully selected. But something didn’t sit right.
“My home felt cold and unfinished, even though we had spent so much on décor,” she said.
She reached out to Ceejayinteriors for help — and our team quickly realized that while her walls and floors were well-designed, the windows were bare or covered with mismatched curtains. That one detail was silently sabotaging the home’s overall aesthetic.
The Before: A Visual Imbalance
Before installing new curtains, the space had:
- Inconsistent curtain styles: Floral prints in one room, plain synthetic polyester in another
- No layering: Most rooms had only one layer of light drapes, lacking depth and elegance
- Low-hanging rods: Windows appeared shorter and gave the rooms a “boxed” feeling
- Mismatched accessories: Cheap rods, plastic tiebacks, and clashing curtain colors
These small errors added up, making the space feel disorganized — and definitely not reflective of the investment made in furniture and finishing.
The Ceejayinteriors Approach: The Power of Professional Curtain Styling
Our experts took a room-by-room approach, crafting a strategy that would elevate not only the aesthetics but also the functionality of each space.
Living Room: Luxury & Light Control
We selected a layered curtain system:
- A sheer voile curtain for daytime elegance and natural light
- A thick, luxurious velvet blackout curtain in emerald green to complement her cream and gold furniture
We also:
- Raised the curtain rods close to the ceiling to give the illusion of taller walls
- Used gold-toned curtain rods and tassel tiebacks for a regal finish
Pro Tip: Raising your curtain rods can make any room look larger and more elegant. Choose rich fabrics to give your living room a polished feel.
Master Bedroom: Comfort Meets Privacy
For a cozy yet stylish bedroom vibe, we chose:
- Double-pinch pleated blackout curtains in a calm charcoal tone
- Sheer inner layers in white with subtle embroidery
We ensured the curtains covered the entire wall behind the bed, making the space feel like a plush hotel suite.
Educational Insight: Curtains aren’t just for windows. When used as a backdrop, they can add texture, depth, and dimension to a room.
The After: A Seamless, Luxurious Home
After installation, the home felt:
- Visually unified: Consistent themes and complementary curtain styles across rooms
- Warmer and more inviting: Curtains added softness, movement, and temperature control
- Professionally styled: Like something out of a home decor magazine
Mrs. Chioma was thrilled:
“Now, people walk in and ask me which interior designer I used. It’s like living in a luxury apartment every day!”
Curtains as an Investment in Style and Comfort
This transformation proves that curtains can make or break your interior design. When properly chosen, they:
- Enhance the visual height and width of a room
- Improve energy efficiency
- Boost privacy and comfort
- Provide an opportunity to express your style
What to Consider When Choosing Curtains for Your Home
If you’re ready to upgrade your space like Mrs. Chioma did, here’s what you should keep in mind:
1. Measure Right
Use a professional or follow this basic rule: Curtains should be at least twice the width of your window and touch or puddle on the floor for a luxurious look.
2. Choose Fabrics Based on Room Use
- Velvet or chenille for luxury and blackout
- Cotton or linen for everyday elegance
- Sheer voile or organza for softness and light flow
3. Match Colors with Your Existing Palette
Curtains are a great way to echo accent colors from your rugs, pillows, or artwork.
4. Don’t Ignore Accessories
From rods to rings, tiebacks to trims — small curtain accessories can either elevate or reduce your design’s appeal.
