Windows are one of the first things you notice when entering someone’s house. The possibilities of new window treatments can also be overwhelming. Take a look at some window treatment ideas by style:
If you’re going for a modern look, there will be no space for antiques. You’re looking for a clean, understated and sophisticated look. Luckily, contemporary window styles are in. Pick a hue which is in contrast to your wall paint and begin your modern look. Choosing cordless also helps keep the clutter to a minimum while also looking downplayed and sleek. An oversized graphic or geometric pattern can help create a dramatic focal point. Roman shades come with fabrics which enhance your space. Pick out steel hardware like nickel and chrome materials. In a minimalist modern home, a motorized shade of blind can also be used.
The sky’s the limit to how creative you can get with the window coverings in your house. You can literally apply any design you want on your shades – a pattern, logo, your art or even a photograph. You can create personalized shades which may create a memorable picture. You can design or capture any moment in time and view it every day. If you prefer a DIY project you can make your own no-sew or stitched or even roman shades. Add bows, ribbons, ruffles, cloth tapes, or sew together tablecloths or vintage scarves etc. All you need to do is imagine and you can turn it into reality.
The choice of fabric plays a huge role in helping you achieve a graceful look for your home. Roman shades are a no-brainer in this case. Layers, softness and deep decadent folds are key. Drapes which hang to the floor look exceptionally elegant as they make the room appear to have higher ceilings than they actually do. To give a layered effect, a shade can be added behind the drapes. Remember to use different colours and textures. It will help give the room a more authentic look.
It’s time to think out of the box and choose something that stands out. Think bottom down top up shades which let you decide how much light is let in. For unique drapery ideas, try jabot corners, holdbacks, dual material or drapery swags. Or if you’re looking off the beaten path blinds, think etched, mirrored glass, or even leather. Shades and blinds can be used in places other than the windows also. Imagine inside awnings, room dividers, a focal point behind the beds or the canopy above it.
The window treatment you use in your house goes a long way in creating an impression. There are many choices available. All you need to do is make up your mind and take your pick.
