Talk about a curtain that you like
You should say:
 Which curtain is this?
 When and where did you see it?
 What it looks like?
 Why you liked it so much?

Sample Answer:-
Nowadays, home is not just a place to live but is much more than mere four walls.
Similarly, the curtains are not used now to fulfil the sole purpose of
maintain privacy or protection from sunlight. Curtains are considered as an integral
part of interior designing and soft window treatment which reflect the personal style
of the owner. Although there are myriad curtain styles which I like personally, here I
would like to share the one I have incorporated in the décor of my house which
consists of two layers of contrasting hues.
Few months ago, when I was surfing a website to get some ideas to adorn my newly
rented accommodation, I come across this beautiful curtain design on pinterest. This
set comprises of two layers: the outer one has white and the inner one has metallic

to black out. This silk made one has pencil plates with frilled layer on the top and to
add on there is a layer of beautiful tassels of the same tone.
Actually, I am a student pursuing interior
designing and have learnt a lot about it by
following the blogs and interviews
of renowned designers and observing the
trends a lot. The moment I saw it, I
was dazzled by the appeal exhibited by
its minimalistic look. Once I explained every
single detail and showed the picture, I asked
my tailor to stitch it as per my requirements.
To be very honest, it looked stunning when
I hanged it on the wall to cover my living
rooms huge window. The entire ambience of the place turned out to be amazing with
the contemporary theme of the living area.
I utilized my prowess to set up the house exquisitely with my typical taste of furniture,
decorative wall arts, indoor and outdoor plants which transformed this apartment
into a place where anyone can feel rejuvenating, I can bet on it. Curtains are like salt
