Our curtains can do more than just block out light — in fact, in a small room, they can actually visually alter how spacious it feels. Playing with height, width, style, color, and fabric can create a sense of scale and size, and curtains are one of the most powerful yet untapped tools in interior design when it comes to influencing how large or intimate a space feels.
"Curtains are architectural tools as much as they are decorative," says interior designer Rachel Hurley of StudioHA. "When placed strategically, they stretch a room’s proportions and invite the eye to travel."
