Guides & JournalCurtains Design in Pakistan: Ideas for Every Room
The best curtains design for a Pakistani home is one that blocks the strong sun, gives privacy, and matches the room: light, printed or sheer curtains for a bedroom, heavier lined curtains for a drawing room, and simple tab-top or grommet curtains for a modern living room.

Sell on dapxopModern curtains design in Pakistan: the main styles
Most curtains sold in Pakistan hang in one of five ways, and the way a curtain hangs changes how formal it looks.
| Style | How it hangs | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Grommet (eyelet) | Metal rings punched into the top slide on a rod | Modern living rooms; easy to open and close |
| Tab top | Fabric loops at the top go over a rod | Bedrooms, boho and traditional looks |
| Pleated with hooks | Hooks clip into a track or rings | Drawing rooms; a formal, full look |
| Rod pocket | A sewn channel slides over the rod | Small windows, sheer curtains |
| Sheer + blackout pair | A thin sheer in front of a heavy curtain | Bedrooms that need light by day, dark at night |
Curtain design for bedroom in Pakistan
In a bedroom, curtains need to do two things: keep the room dark enough to sleep and let in soft light by day.
- Use blackout or lined curtains if the room gets morning sun or street lights.
- Pair them with a sheer curtain for daytime privacy with light.
- Soft, calm colours — cream, beige, sage, dusty pink, light grey — make a bedroom feel restful.
- A printed border curtain adds pattern without making a small room feel busy.
- Floor-length curtains make a ceiling look higher, even in a small room.
Curtains for drawing room in Pakistan
Drawing rooms are where guests sit, so curtains here are usually fuller and more formal: heavier fabrics like velvet, jacquard or thick cotton, pleated with hooks, sometimes with tie-backs. Many homes match the curtains to the sofa or the rug.
For a modern drawing room, pick one solid colour that matches the sofa and keep the pattern to cushions. For a traditional look, a rich colour with a woven or printed border works well.
Curtain design in Pakistan for living room
Living rooms (lounges) get the most daily use, so pick curtains that are easy to wash and to open: grommet or tab-top styles in cotton or cotton blends. Light colours keep the room bright; a printed border or a boho pattern adds personality.
Curtain colour for white wall, cream wall or grey wall
Wall colour is the easiest guide for choosing a curtain colour. These pairings work well in Pakistani homes.
| Wall colour | Curtain colours that work |
|---|---|
| White | Almost anything — sage, navy, mustard, terracotta, or a printed curtain for colour |
| Cream / beige / off-white | Brown, rust, olive, maroon, or cream with a coloured border |
| Grey | White, navy, blush pink, mustard or charcoal |
| Light pink | White, cream, grey or soft gold |
| Light green | White, cream, beige or wood tones |
💡 Worth knowing
Not sure? Pick a curtain colour from something else in the room — the sofa, rug or cushions — so it looks planned.
Which fabric is best for curtains?
Fabric decides how much light comes through, how the curtain hangs and how easy it is to wash.
- Cotton and cotton blends: breathable, easy to wash, good for bedrooms and lounges.
- Linen-look fabrics: a relaxed, natural texture.
- Velvet: heavy and warm, blocks light and noise; for formal drawing rooms.
- Polyester blackout: blocks light, doesn't fade fast in strong sun.
- Sheer (net or voile): soft daylight with privacy, usually layered with a heavier curtain.
How to hang curtains with hooks or a rod
Some curtains come with their own rod and fittings, which saves a trip to the hardware shop — like this Printed Curtains set with a wooden rod. Always check the curtain's width and drop against your window before ordering.
- Fix the rod or track 10–15 cm above the window frame and wider than the window on both sides, so the open curtains don't cover the glass.
- For hooks: slide the hooks into the curtain's header tape every few centimetres, then hang them on the rings or track.
- For tab tops or grommets: slide the curtain straight onto the rod before fixing the second bracket.
- The curtain should just touch the floor, or stop 1–2 cm above it.
- Use two curtain panels for a wide window so you can open them from the middle.
