The living room is usually where your family spends most of their time together. It’s also the room where you welcome your guests, friends and neighbours. That’s why it’s important to spruce it up and turn into the most impressive space of your home.
Besides furniture, window treatments are one of the best ways to upgrade the look and style of a living area. In this blog, we’ve put together four window treatment ideas that can instantly add sophistication and personality to your living room.
Grommet panel curtains come with metal-rimmed round openings along the header of the curtains. The curtain rod passes through these grommet panels so you won’t require any extra rings, hooks or clips to hang these curtains. Select a plain, smooth curtain rod so that the grommets operate smoothly without any tugging. The best thing about grommet curtains is that they provide crisp folds and offer a very clean look to the room.
Choose from myriad colours, patterns, textures and fabric that suit your furniture and other interior accessories in your living room. For example, if you choose bold colours or patterns, make sure that some of your furnishings and room accessories are neutral in colour. If you have lots of glass furniture and want to let in more light in your living room, then you can choose translucent beige curtains. If your furniture and accessories have jewel tones, then you can opt for muted orange coloured curtains.
Always make sure to select the colours, patterns or fabrics of your curtains in a way that they contribute better to the overall style statement of your space.
Pair up matching draperies and valances to create a stunning look for your living room windows. Go for floor-to-ceiling drapes as long drapes are very popular these days. Accentuate your windows with striped drapes and matching valances – a contemporary style that is trending. The valance can have a detailing of pom-pom, lace or small tassels to add to the style and elegance of the combination. You may not hang the drapery and valance combo in a standard fashion. You can hang them in interesting styles like for example, in a pirouette shape to create a statement look.
You can easily make use of different architectural features of your windows in your living room. For example, if you have long windows and high ceilings, you can use various types of window dressings like woven shades, airy sheer panels to create a focal point of your room. Or, if you have unusually shaped windows like bay windows, you can treat them specifically to make your living space stand out. Take a cue about how to treat bay windows effectively here.
If you don’t want to create a focal point out of your living room window, you can utilize it as a support player by using roman shades. You can choose a pattern-free linen fabric or a woven shade in neutral colours. It’ll let you control the light while revealing the textures of the fabric. It’ll provide an interesting twist to the way your window feels and looks like, thereby giving your living room an edgy appearance.
