Parda Design Ideas: Modern and Traditional Styles, Fabrics, Patterns, Lining, Length and Rods
Parda design is the common local name for curtain design, and it covers everything from heavy velvet pardas for lounges to light net pardas for doors and kitchens. A good parda matches the room, controls light and privacy and hangs well, which depends on the fabric, the lining and the width. This guide covers modern and traditional styles, fabrics, patterns, lining, length and hardware. For the wider range, see curtain design and curtains in Pakistan.
Modern and traditional styles
Modern pardas use plain or lightly textured fabrics on slim rods or tracks. Traditional pardas use embroidery, borders and richer colours.
| Style | Features | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Modern plain | Single colour, clean heading | Contemporary homes |
| Textured | Linen look, subtle weave | Calm, natural rooms |
| Embroidered traditional | Borders and motifs | Formal lounges |
| Velvet | Rich and heavy | Bedrooms and lounges |
| Net parda | Light and decorative | Doors and windows |
Fabrics for pardas
Velvet, cotton blends, linen look and polyester are common. See curtain fabrics and velvet curtains.
Lining and light control
Lining adds weight, blocks light and protects the fabric from sun. Choose blackout lining for bedrooms and plain lining for lounges.
Length and width
Hang pardas high and wide, with about two times the track width in fabric. See the size and length guide.
Parda for doors and kitchens
Use lighter pardas for doors and kitchens. See door curtains and kitchen curtains.
Colours and patterns
Choose colours to match the walls or the sofa, and keep patterns simple in small rooms. See curtain colours and combinations.
