Are your staff members returning back to the office post-COVID? If so, you might be looking for a new pair of curtains to keep the autumn and winter sunshine out. Creating a productive workspace for your staff members is essential, so you want to choose curtains that are attractive yet functional.
Here are a few things we would recommend considering when buying your office curtains:
Colour & Fabric
Colours are very important as they have a significant impact on mood, in turn affecting productivity, creativity and focus. Calming colours like blue, green, yellow and white are relaxing yet positive and peaceful, great to have in your office unless you have specific branding you’d like to match.
Considering the fabric of your curtains is essential, you want something durable and easy to maintain. Polycotton and polyester would be recommended because of their low maintenance and easy dry cleaning.
Length
A crucial part of choosing your curtains is thinking about the length. Measuring for curtains is super easy too. All you need to do is grab your measuring tape and mark from ideally where curtains will be hung from. This should be located a few inches above the window. You might want your curtains to fall straight to the floor or stop at the end of your window. For safety purposes in the office, we would recommend choosing shorter curtains so you aren’t creating a trip hazard.
Insulation
As the cost of living is rising, we are all looking for ways to cut back on money, and buying well-insulated curtains can help retain heat during the winter months. Keeping your office well insulated will not only help keep your energy bills down but will reduce your environmental impact and also provide a more comfortable office for staff members to work in.
Design & Style
Design and style are important when picking out curtains for your office, they’ve got to do the job well but also work with the aesthetics of your office and the overall interior design choices of your business.
We have a wide variety of different style curtains. Some of the styles you can choose from include Blackout, Eyelet Ring Top, Pencil Pleat and Thermal.
