When it comes to interior design, few things equal windows when it comes to importance. They let in light, and we can dress them up in so many ways. Without further ado, here are ten window treatment ideas to spruce up your home.
Drapes with Roman Shades
Tall, dark drapes look stunning on their own. However, when paired with Roman shades, they look regal. You can match your drapes and shades, or you can take the opportunity to contrast them. Imagine your drapes tied back and your shades halfway down, letting just enough light in and looking stunning in the process.
Custom Blinds and Shades
Buying store-bought blinds and shades is a cheap solution. You’ll find that most of the time, they might not fit your windows, or they look less than impressive.
If you have your blinds or shades customized for your home and windows, there’s no room for error. Custom is the way to go if you want to make a statement while investing in something high-quality.
You can easily find custom blinds and shades in Houston or any part of the country.
Custom Drapes With Sheer Curtains
There is nothing more traditional and elegant than tall blackout drapes paired with loose, flowy sheer curtains. The sheer curtain panels afford you some privacy while still letting the light through while your drapes are closed.
You can play around with how much you want to open or close your drapes for the best look. Also, adding a swag valance would only further complete the Victorian look.
Tall Blackout Drapes
Tall drapes always look stunning and lengthen any room. Even if you have short windows, you can hang the window treatment hardware a foot or two higher than the window itself to heighten the room. That area can be covered with a valance so that there’s no awkward wall showing when you open the drapes.
Shades With Valances
Shades cover the whole window and can be sheer or opaque. While they could have beautiful colors and patterns or an intriguing texture, they can get a little boring. That is why we can dress them up a bit to make them fancier with a window valance.
Blinds With Valances
Blinds offer the most privacy. However, they can look boring on their own. If you want to spruce up some blinds or hide the hardware holding them up, there’s a great opportunity to add window valances.
Blinds with valances may not be the most conventional pairing. However, when done right, it will look well-balanced.
Contrasting Hardware
Whatever you choose to hang up on your windows, you should not ignore the hardware. More often than not, the hardware can frame your window treatment like a painting.
One great idea is to use contrasting hardware that brightens the color of your window treatment even more. Light hardware with dark drapes and dark hardware with light drapes only make the colors pop more.
Sheer Curtains with Shutters
Not everyone’s a fan of thick blackout drapes. You may desire something soft and airy, like sheer curtains instead. If that’s the case, but you still want privacy, you can invest in some shutters. Both of them together look great.
Stunning Patterns
Solid colors dominate the interior design world. Usually, the safer bet is to go with a solid color. Nevertheless, if you’re bold, why not introduce a pop of color with some patterns?
You can even go a step further and mix and match patterns in one room. When matched correctly, you can create a stunning look with two wildly contrasting patterns.
Ratan Shades
Going for the mid-century modern look, or do you want to try something chic and different? Instead of traditional window treatment, why not try ratan shades instead?
The texture of the woven wood looks lovely against cream-colored walls. They are usually light-colored but can be stained to match the color palette of the rest of the room as well.
