There’s something deeply beautiful about a village home—the simplicity, the culture, the warmth. But what if we told you that your humble space can look like a scene out of a royal estate, without tearing down walls or spending millions?
That’s the magic of interior decor—and more specifically, curtains.
In this article, we’ll show you how the right choice of curtains can dramatically elevate the look and feel of any village home. Whether you live in the serene outskirts of Enugu, a quiet town in Nasarawa, or a rural community in Cross River, you can transform your living space into something fit for royalty—luxurious, elegant, and unforgettable.
Why Curtains Are the Secret Weapon of Royal Interior Design
While most people think of curtains as just fabric to block sunlight, they’re actually one of the most powerful interior decor elements. Curtains add:
- Height and depth to a room
- Color, texture, and warmth
- Visual balance and elegance
- Functional privacy and insulation
In short, curtains are the crown jewels of home styling—especially when chosen thoughtfully.
Ceejayinteriors specializes in premium-quality curtains and accessories tailored to match local aesthetics while meeting international style standards.
Step-by-Step: How to Turn a Village Home Into a Royal Palace Using Curtains
Let’s walk you through the transformative process.
1. Understand Your Space: The Foundation of Design
Before you hang any curtain, evaluate your space:
- Are the ceilings high or low?
- Are the walls textured, painted, or bare concrete?
- What’s the color of the floor, furniture, and wall?
This helps determine what type of curtain fabric, color, and style will complement and elevate the space.
Expert Tip: For village homes with short walls, opt for ceiling-to-floor curtains. This gives the illusion of height and grandeur—just like you’d see in royal mansions.
2. Choose the Right Fabric: Your Home Deserves Royal Texture
Luxury is not about excess. It’s about texture, quality, and richness. The right curtain fabric can create a regal ambiance even in the most humble of spaces.
- Velvet: Rich and soft, ideal for bedrooms or parlours
- Linen-blend: Lightweight and breathable, perfect for tropical Nigerian weather
- Silk or faux silk: Reflects light beautifully for a luxurious sheen
- Cotton: Versatile and easy to maintain
Ceejayinteriors offers a wide range of premium and affordable curtain fabrics that instantly add a royal touch to your home—wherever you are in Nigeria.
3. Play With Colors: From Earthy Tones to Royal Hues
Colors can influence mood and perceived space. To make your village home look and feel like a royal suite, choose colors that complement your furniture and add richness:
- Royal blue: Evokes nobility and calm
- Burgundy or wine: Warm and luxurious
- Creams and gold: Bring elegance and light
- Emerald green: Bold yet classy
Avoid overly bright neon colors; they tend to clash with rural-style textures like cement walls or wooden furniture.

4. Embrace Layers: Combine Sheers & Drapes Like Royalty
You’ve seen it in luxurious hotels: double-layer curtains with light sheers underneath and heavier drapes on the outside. This layering technique adds depth, elegance, and flexibility.
- Use sheers during the day to let in light without compromising privacy.
- Close the drapes at night for full coverage and warmth.
Even a village living room instantly becomes a grand reception hall with this setup.
Ceejayinteriors has curated sets of sheer and blackout drape combinations designed specifically for Nigerian homes.
5. Add Accessories: Royalty Is in the Details
Your transformation isn’t complete without curtain accessories. These are the finishing touches that give your curtains a royal flair:
- Tassel tiebacks for a vintage palace look
- Gold or silver curtain rods to make your setup stand out
- Decorative hooks or holders that double as wall art
- Pelmet boxes or valances to add structure and hide rods

6. Don’t Forget the Windows: Frame the View Like a Palace
Curtains aren’t just about what’s inside. They also frame your windows—which can often be the only natural lighting in rural homes. Use your curtains to:
- Draw attention to scenic views (trees, farms, sky)
- Cover unattractive elements like rusted frames or damaged sills
- Create symmetry in rooms with multiple windows
