# Try new curtains on a photo of your own window

Curtains change a room more than their price suggests: the color, the length and the way they hang decide whether a window feels framed, taller or cosier. In ImageQuarry you upload a photo of the window wall, select it and describe what you are considering, for example floor-length linen curtains in oatmeal hung close to the ceiling, or a roman blind in a small check. Each request makes a new version, so options pile up side by side while the original stays.

Describe fabric, color, length and how high they hang, and keep the window and furniture.

## How to try curtains with ImageQuarry

1. **Photograph the whole window wall** Upload a photo that shows the window, the wall above it up to the ceiling and the floor below. Height and length are the point of most curtain decisions, so a cropped window makes them hard to judge.
2. **Describe the treatment like a decorator** Name the type (curtains, drapes, sheers, roman blind), the fabric, the color, where the rod sits and where the hem falls. Ask to keep the window frame, walls and furniture, and review the new version.
3. **Compare by length and by fabric** Make separate versions for length and for fabric so each comparison shows one change. All versions stay available to choose from and download.

## Curtain requests to try

Example requests; each becomes a new version.

- **High and wide**: Hanging curtains higher and wider than the window makes it look bigger.
- **Sheer layer**: Sheers soften light without blocking it.
- **Roman blind**: Blinds suit kitchens and small windows where curtains get in the way.
- **Bold color**: A strong curtain color can carry a whole room's palette.
- **Remove and compare**: Sometimes the question is whether the room needs curtains at all.

## What makes curtains look right

- **Height first**: Mounting the rod well above the window frame makes ceilings feel higher, which is why decorators often hang curtains close to the ceiling.
- **Length and break**: Curtains that just kiss the floor look tailored; a longer puddle feels relaxed; a short hem above the sill suits kitchens and radiators.
- **Fullness**: Curtains look generous when the fabric is considerably wider than the window, so they hang in folds even when closed.
- **Light changes fabric**: Linen and sheers glow when backlit, velvet absorbs light. A daytime photo shows how backlighting will affect your choice.
- **Words in, versions out**: Describe the change in words on the photo you uploaded; each request becomes a new version with earlier ones preserved.

## Window treatments by room

| Room | Treatments often chosen | How to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Living room | Floor-length curtains, sheers | Floor-length linen curtains, hung high |
| Bedroom | Lined or blackout curtains | Heavy lined curtains in dusty blue |
| Kitchen | Roman or cafe blinds | A cafe curtain on the lower half of the window |
| Bathroom | Frosted film or blinds | A white roman blind in water-friendly fabric |
| Nursery | Soft, blackout-lined | Pale sage curtains with a soft pattern |
| Home office | Blinds for screen glare | Light filtering roller blind in warm white |

## What is an AI curtain change?

It is an edit where you describe new curtains or blinds for a window in a photo, and an AI image editor makes a new version with them while you say what to keep. ImageQuarry keeps each option as a version for comparison.

_It is not a made-to-measure calculator; measure the window and confirm fabric quantities with a supplier._

## Curtain questions

### Can I see new curtains on my own window?

Yes. Upload the photo, select it and describe the curtains. ImageQuarry creates a new version and keeps the original.

### Will the wall and furniture stay the same?

List them in the request as things to keep. A request can name what to keep as well as what to change; compare the new version with the original.

### How do I compare lengths fairly?

Change one thing per version: same fabric, different length. Then compare the versions together.

### Can I use a fabric sample?

Add a photo of the fabric as a reference. References guide the result; review each version to see how closely it follows them.

### How high should curtains hang?

Many decorators hang the rod well above the frame, often close to the ceiling, and let the fabric reach the floor. Try a high and a standard version to see the difference.

### Can I return to an earlier idea?

Yes. Branch from any earlier version to try a new direction.
