Framing the View — A Guide to Our Ready-Made Curtains
Changing the mood of a room often comes down to how you filter the light. At Life n Colors, our ready-made curtain collection is designed to soften the edges of your home. Whether you need the heavy, silencing drape of velvet for a bedroom or the breathable, sun-dappled texture of linen for a living area, these curtains offer a custom-feel finish without the long wait times of made-to-measure tailoring.

More Than Just a Window Covering
We treat curtains as the anchor of a room’s soft furnishings. A well-chosen curtain does two things: it manages the acoustics (dampening echoes in large rooms) and controls the "temperature" of the light. Our collection is curated to ensure that even our lighter sheers have enough weight to hang beautifully, avoiding the flimsy look often associated with standard retail options.
The Art of Layering: The Prasanaakshi Connection
A room feels finished when the textures speak to each other. We recommend viewing your curtains not as standalone pieces, but as partners to your furniture. Our curtains are designed to coordinate effortlessly with the Prasanaakshi Home Textiles line. Consider pairing the structured geometry of our Ikkat Fringes curtain with solid, textured sofa fabrics, or echoing the curtain's color in a set of hand-embroidered cushions.
Curated Styles for Every Mood

Ikkat Fringes: A nod to bohemian craft, featuring high-contrast geometric patterns and tactile fringe details that add movement to static windows.

European Tapestry: For rooms that require a sense of history. These feature intricate weaves that act almost like a wall tapestry, perfect for formal dining or study areas.
Common Questions
-
How do I choose the right opacity? Think about the room's primary use. Bedrooms benefit from the density of velvets or heavy polyesters to block morning light and dampen noise. Living rooms often work best with linens or sheers that offer privacy while keeping the space feeling open and airy.
-
Can I see the fabric before buying? Absolutely. Digital screens can vary, so we highly recommend ordering fabric swatches. This allows you to see how the material catches the light in your specific room and how it pairs with your existing wall colors.
-
How do I care for these curtains? To maintain the integrity of the pleats and the vibrancy of the fabric, we recommend professional dry cleaning. This is especially important for our embroidered and velvet options, which can lose their structure in a standard washing machine.
