Complete Curtain Guide - Denver, CO
Window treatments, known as curtains, have been around for a long time. Ancient Egyptians made the first curtains from woven bamboo and reeds. The ancient Romans used to hang damp pieces of cloth over their windows to keep dust and debris from entering the home. There is a reason why curtains have been around for so long!
At Woven, we have the biggest selection of curtains in Denver. Come speak to our design team about our wide selection of amazing styles of curtains and a variety of fabrics for your home or business at competitive prices.
Why choose Curtains?
The most obvious function is to provide privacy. Curtains prevent people from seeing into your home and give you a chance to get dressed in peace! They also block out light, and this is especially important for people who work at night or have young children who need to sleep during the day. Curtains can be sized to fit over any window and usually run from ceiling to floor.
In addition to privacy and light control, curtains also help insulate your home. By trapping air next to the window, curtains can keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
- Remember not to hang curtains too low over a window. It can make the window appear smaller.
- Make sure the curtain rod is wider than the window. Never hang a rod inside the frame.
- It’s okay to pair curtains with window blinds for more privacy and style
- Heavier curtains should be hung on a drapery curtain rod.

There are several different types of pleats, including
- Pinch or French pleats have two folds that meet in the middle.
- Goblet pleats have a round top and bottom.
- Inverted pleats are similar to French pleats, but the folds face outward.

Kitchen Curtains
For many families, the kitchen is one of the rooms where they spend the most time. With so many options, kitchen curtains can provide style and warmth and brighten up the room. No matter the style of your house, the possibilities are endless. Cafe curtains, half-window curtains, valances, and full-length curtains are just some options.
If you’re looking to add some flair or color to your kitchen, you don’t need to repaint or do something drastic; some curtains and a simple valance can dramatically change the look and feel of your entire kitchen.

Commercial Curtains
Commercial curtains are used in various settings, such as office buildings, hospitals, schools, and more. They are often made from durable fabrics that can withstand heavy use.

Float, Kiss, and Puddle Lengths
- “Floating” curtains are hung to hang around 1 inch from the floor.
- When curtains are lightly touching the floor, this is referred to as a “kiss”.
