From Traditional to Contemporary: A Tour of Curtain Styles in Hyderabad's Wholesale Markets

Nestled in the heart of India, Hyderabad is a city that seamlessly blends its rich historical tapestry with the vibrancy of modern living. This duality is perhaps nowhere more apparent than in its bustling markets, especially when it comes to home décor. Among the myriad treasures to be found, the curtain styles available in wholesale curtain shops in Hyderabad stand out, offering everything from traditional designs that whisper tales of the past to contemporary patterns that speak to the modern soul.

For interior designers, homeowners, and décor enthusiasts venturing into the city's wholesale markets, the experience is akin to embarking on a treasure hunt. The city's lanes are adorned with shops that showcase an extensive collection of fabrics, designs, and accessories, making it a premier destination for those looking to adorn their windows in style.

A Dive into Tradition

Hyderabad's history is rich with royal heritage, evident in its traditional curtain designs that are a staple in many wholesale shops. These curtains often feature intricate patterns, embroidery, and vibrant colors, reminiscent of the grandeur of the Nizami era. Classic motifs such as paisleys, florals, and Mughal prints are popular among customers who wish to infuse their spaces with a touch of regal elegance. Fabrics range from luxurious silks and velvets to more rustic options like cotton and jute, catering to varied tastes and budgets.

The traditional markets of Charminar and Sultan Bazaar are treasure troves for such finds. Here, wholesale curtain shops in Hyderabad offer custom tailoring services, allowing patrons to bring their vision to life with bespoke designs that perfectly fit their windows and décor themes.

The Contemporary Wave

On the other end of the spectrum, Hyderabad's wholesale markets are equally adept at catering to the contemporary aesthetic. As global design trends permeate the city's fabric, these shops have adapted, offering minimalist designs, geometric patterns, and a muted color palette that aligns with modern tastes. The focus is on sleek and functional curtains that complement the urban lifestyle, with materials like linen, polyester, and blends leading the charge for their ease of maintenance and durability.

Begum Bazaar and Moazzam Jahi Market are hotspots for such contemporary finds. Here, shoppers can explore the latest in curtain design, including blackout curtains for those prioritizing functionality or sheer panels that play with light and space. Moreover, eco-friendly and sustainable options are gaining traction, with more customers seeking out organic cotton and recycled materials in response to a growing awareness of environmental issues.

The Wholesale Advantage

Shopping for curtains in Hyderabad's wholesale markets offers several advantages, the most significant being cost-effectiveness. By going directly to wholesalers, customers can access a wide range of options at competitive prices, making it possible to source high-quality curtains without breaking the bank. Additionally, these markets offer a unique opportunity to interact with vendors who possess extensive knowledge about fabric types, maintenance, and styling tips, ensuring that buyers make informed choices.

Moreover, the sheer variety available at wholesale curtain shops in Hyderabad means that every taste and requirement can be catered to. Whether it's blackout curtains for a home theater, airy sheers for a sunlit study, or ornately embroidered panels for a formal living room, the city's markets hold the promise of finding the perfect match.

Embracing Diversity in Design

Hyderabad's wholesale curtain shops are more than just places to buy fabric; they are windows into the city's soul, showcasing its ability to preserve its heritage while embracing modernity. This diversity in curtain styles reflects the evolving tastes of its people, mirroring the city's journey from its historical roots to its contemporary aspirations.

Nova’s spaces within Carreau’s mansion are as tech filled and sleek as every other room, but during her residence there she had taken steps to add more of an elegant and chic touch to her rooms, with lighter colours and more whimsical elements.

The Bedroom: an overview

Her bedroom separates into four main sections. When you walk in you’re greeting by the tall windows covering the expanse of one wall, and in front of them Nova’s vanity. To the right a door to her walk-in closet and the lounging area, and to the left her bed. The whole room smells of lavender, orange, and chamomile- a sweet and relaxing scent- thanks to essential oil diffusers and her fabric conditioner. It’s a bright and open plan space, with off white natura oak hardwood floors, wallpapered in a soft purple grey with silver floral patterning. There are of course blackout blinds, but Nova only brings those down when she is going to bed, otherwise there are sheer purple curtains framing the windows on either side of the wall. She has a collection of artworks arranged in a cluster on one wall, ranging from minimalist modern work to older styles- all original works carefully curated by herself.

Vanity-

The placement of her vanity was paramount in the arrangement of her room, as of course setting it in-front of the windows provides excellent natural lighting by which she can do her hair and makeup. The unit is a delicate jade colour with large, fold out mirrors, and three draws going down either side to house her makeup and brushes. The companion chair matches the jade colour for the most part with a pink cushion on the seat, a high back, and ornate legs. Her prettiest and most used makeup items make their way onto the desk; a Natasha Denona sunset eyeshadow palette, some Pat Mcgrath and Tom Ford lipsticks, an Anastasia Beverly Hills highlighter kit, and a Kat Von D contour kit to name a few. Lining the edges of the mirror- which are never folded in- are her favourite photographs from the last few years, including a few with her father, old friends, and stunning views she captured. On the left of the desk is her most worn jewelry arranged on a stand in the shape of a hand.

Bed-

Nova’s bed is an ornately carved Bonaparte French Bed in an azure blue with silver detailing. Her sheets are silk and a deep, smoky grey in colour. She has a blanket layer underneath the duvet for extra warmth and comfort. The bedside table matches the bedframe in colour and detailing. Resting on it Is a black eye mask with white eyelashes embroidered onto it, a spray bottle of lavender water which she spritzes onto her pillow before sleep, and an old fashioned corded phone designed to look like a set of pouty red lips. (This phone isn’t in use anymore but is her homage to the excitable and overt trends of the nineties.) Nova has an eclectic set of throw cushions, but she of course has her favourites- one baby pink and fluffy, one covered in teal sequins, and one with dainty floral embroidery and a rude message sewed in a delicate script.

Walk-in Wardrobe-

Her pride and joy, of course. On the back of one of the doors is a tall mirror- so she can evaluate her outfit- and on the back of the other hangs a black silk robe. In the middle of the room is a chaise lounge upholstered in red, in case she becomes overwhelmed by her own wonderful fashion sense. Lining the left of the room are drawers containing lesser worn jewellery items, underwear (organized first by colour and then by how sexy it is), scarves, hats, bags, and a shoe rack that rotates at the push of a button. The right is for all her clothes, closest to the door is shelving for t-shirts and shorts, underneath that is a small space for hanging shirts and blouses, so they won’t crinkle. Beyond that everything else is hung up, and this section of the wardrobe also rotates allowing Nova to go between her dresses, trousers, skirts, and jeans.

Lounging Area-

What room is complete without a specified area in which to lounge, after all? Lounging on the bed is for barbarians. In this part of the room there is a rug, olive in colour and shaped like a circle to encompass the whole lounge zone. There’s a tall backed armchair covered in luxe purple velvet, two scratch free brown leather sofas, and a glass coffee table decorated with Nova’s trinkets- woodwick candles, discarded earrings, pretty crystals, and a stack of magazines. If you are lucky enough to be her guest in the mansion this is most likely where you would find yourself socializing, as she feels the lightness of her room in comparison with the rest of the place can put people at ease. By the coffee table there is also a minifridge kept stocked with wine, bottled water, and snacks.

The Library/Office: an overview

Since this space is used by both Carreau and Nova it’s more minimalist than her own room, with a sleek and modern design. Frankly, if Nova had her way she’d add a big bay window and a colour or two that wasn’t black.

Desk-

This desk gets used more than you might think for a woman whose main involvement in her fathers’ business was face to face dealings with clients and overview of the night to night goings on at the club. No, this is a desk with rather more sinister intent. See if you’re not careful lies and plans can get away from you. For every character Nova comes across is West Hollow there is a folder in this desk, and after every interaction she notes down anything of importance that happened, and her future plans for this person. Since in Nova’s opinion malicious and evil acts aught to be well organized this is the place dedicated to that organization and it is treated as such, all stationary and equipment neatly lined up, incriminating documents safely locked away in drawers. There’s very little of her personality showing on the surface of this corner, it is tidy and without extravagant decoration.

Reading Nook-

In compassion to her work area Nova’s reading nook is a warm and cosy space. It’s set in a corner of the library where some of her favourite literature resides so as to be able to access them with ease. The centrepiece is a plush leather armchair, worn and scratched up from the years she has curled up in it, with a tartan blanket draped over the back. Besides the chair is a small end table, stacked high with her in progress reads alongside a small notepad and pen so she can jot down any books that she absolutely Should Not read again, due to how terrible they were. It’s also not rare to see an empty mug left somewhere in the area too, as she likes to drink hot chocolate while reading and doesn’t always remember to take it through to the kitchen when she leaves.

The Best-Dressed Windows and How to Get Them

Hanging curtains or shades can have a transformative effect on a room, adding warmth and style to a drab space or hiding unfortunate views out the window. You can even create the illusion that you have more space than you really do by exaggerating the appearance of ceiling height.

But figuring out which window treatment is right for your space can be tricky. What if there’s no room for curtains on either side of the French doors in your tiny apartment? What’s the best way to play up the lovely leaded glass in those prewar casement windows while keeping out the draft? How do you gracefully cover a bay window?

We asked interior designers to share their tricks for dressing up a range of window styles.

Casement Windows

With a mechanism that allows them to open out like doors — and let in lots of light and fresh air — “casement windows are really very versatile,” said Michelle Morgan Harrison, an interior designer in New Canaan, Conn.

If you have casement windows, she said, Roman shades are an option. She recommended mounting them at least six inches above the casing, so that when the shade is up it doesn’t block the light.

But “my recommendation is to go with draperies,” she added, “as you get the full view of the window when open.”

That’s what she did for a library in Greenwich, Conn., where she chose a linen from Osborne & Little in a blue-and-gray ombre, to complement the color of the walls. For the hardware, she used a clear Lucite rod with rings, brackets and end caps in polished nickel.

A general rule, she said, is to set the rods six inches above the frame for smaller windows; eight to 10 inches above for a double-width window; and up to a foot above for larger windows. You should also avoid pushing the drapery past the window casing, she noted, as “it looks better when the drapes cover the casing on each side and frame the window.”

If space is tight on either side of a window, Ms. Harrison suggested using a bracket that curves back to the wall, instead of a rod that ends in a finial. This allows for the drapes to be pushed back against the wall and to clear more of the window.

Bay Windows

With bay windows, your options are more limited: You could hang stationary curtains on either side of the bay and install a shade inside each window frame, or you could hang curtains on each individual window. But if there isn’t enough room for hardware, Roman shades are the way to go.

“An advantage of Roman shades is that you do not need to have decorative or functional hardware,” said Grant K. Gibson, an interior designer in San Francisco, who opted for flat-panel shades in white linen from Clarence House for a bedroom overlooking Buena Vista Park.

“We wanted the fabric to fade into the architectural details, and matched the fabric as close as possible to the already-finished white wall color,” said Mr. Gibson, who installed the shades on the outside of the molding to make sure they blocked out as much of the light as possible when closed. “Your eye would have too many places to look if there had been a color or pattern on the window treatments.”

Postwar Windows

What if your windows aren’t that interesting, as in many postwar apartments?

“Use floor-to-ceiling drapes, even if the window doesn’t go to the height of ceiling,” advised Alexis Alvarez, design director at Interior Marketing Group. “It will draw the eye up and make windows appear bigger and ceilings appear higher.”

To liven up the postwar windows in a Greenwich Village living room, Ms. Alvarez mounted the curtain rods above the moldings and beyond their width to create the illusion of higher ceilings and wider windows. “The light-and-airy, white-linen fabric blends seamlessly with the modern aesthetic of the room,” she said.

Glass Doors

Curtains that hang straight and just graze the floor tend to work well with sliding-glass doors.

“Generally you want to avoid blocking the doors in any way for function, and also for light coming into the space,” said Jess Cooney, a designer in Great Barrington, Mass., who dressed a sliding-glass door in an open kitchen with a simple rod and patterned fabric from Robert Allen. “The overall goal was to give the sliding door behind the draperies a more formal feel and to soften the space.”

Another benefit of drapes, she noted, is that they are good at absorbing sound: “Textiles help so much for acoustics, especially in a space with an open floor plan, where noise can easily echo and bounce around.”

If you are lucky enough to have a continuous stretch of windows or doors from one end of a room to the other, adding lightweight drapery panels between the doors or windows will help create the illusion of an unbroken expanse of glass.

In a Manhattan living room with three pairs of French doors opening onto Juliet balconies, the interior designer Alexa Hampton installed simple, pleated panels in an embroidered Cowtan & Tout fabric. Then, “we layered the panels with lacquered bamboo shades,” Ms. Hampton said, “and two-tone hardware with darkened-bronze poles and antique-brass rings and finials, for a collected look.”

Oddly Shaped Windows

What about round or arched windows?

If you want the window to stand out, choose a window dressing that’s the same color or pattern as the wall, so it blends in. That’s the effect the designer Martin Brudnizki was going for in a luxury suite at the Grand Hotel Stockholm, in Sweden, which has porthole-style windows. Mr. Brudnizki used the same fabric for the wall covering and the curtains, which made the window pop.

“We had to use a special technique for the curved window treatment, which included using a center-split, full-length curtain, which is manually operated using an Italian-cord pulley system,” he said. “The curtains are pinch-pleated to the top and fixed onto an arched runner. We also lined them with blackout material, to ensure guests can enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep, especially considering how light Swedish evenings can be.”

A Few Words About Fabric

No matter what type of window you’re dressing, be sure to choose fabric that has a nice draping quality, said Kevin Dumais, an interior designer in New York.

“Generally, lightweight fabrics such as linen-poly blends or wools work best, because they hang straight, they are durable and keep their shape over time,” Mr. Dumais said. “Linens woven with polyester or acrylic are terrific; the synthetic fibers help stop the linen from growing and wrinkling.

He added: “We are finding that fabric houses like Holland & Sherry and Creation Baumann are creating wonderful sheer fabrics made of Trevira or 100 percent polyester. We use these on projects with direct sunlight from south-facing windows, as the fiber content seems to resist fading and deterioration over time.”

Also, consider adding layers.

“People forget that a quantity of fabric literally softens hard materials when fabric meets up with glass,” Ms. Hampton said. “The softgoods not only help with acoustics in a space, but they act as a frame for the view outside.”

That’s something even a minimalist space could benefit from.

For one master bedroom, Ms. Hampton used silk window treatments with shirred valances and pleated side panels. “We stayed with a really neutral color palette,” she said, to keep the room elegant and clean-lined, “but decided to double up the tassel trim, to make the treatments even more lush.”
