How often do you change your curtains?

ninathenana, agreed re each to their own. We have excellent modern double glazed and some triple glazed windows with traditional wooden shutters and a gorgeous view. I love light and curtains would cut some of that light away- so we decided not to have any.

I wouldn't want to change my curtains summer and winter - it's too difficult getting up and down ladders with long curtains. I can manage upstairs but not downstairs, it's just too high.

We have several sets of curtains dating from when we moved into our house in 1981. There's nothing wrong with them so why should we change them?

I have curtains that are many years old and I like them. They have faded on the edges but occasionally we swap them around - the curtains are all the same width - so that they get even wear. I would not really like to change them.Besides it would be very expensive! We do have venetian blinds in some rooms.

I always thought the reason years ago people had winter and summer curtains was because there wasn't double glazing. There would be a need then to have a thicker curtain in the winter.
The last pr of curtains I bought was 2 years ago, two prs on opposite sides of the room, my goodness they made such a difference and brightened the room up no end I was well pleased.
I really do need to replace a number of curtains after washing so many times and with the sun they have faded down the edge it's time.
