Window Treatments – What, Why and When?

Window treatments are the most potent questions asked more than once by almost all homeowners. Every home can look good in a ton of options, but here we will share something that comes to use in most households, explaining why exactly we use them. To start off, people have to understand all window treatments are not curtains, though curtains are the commonest forms. Let’s discuss drapes, valances and Roman shades. At the same time, we attempt the need for custom treatments.

Drapes

Drapes add optimum softness to any room, thus working wonderfully in any space, that has windows with no radiators underneath and space on both sides of the trim and only a bit in front of windows. The drapery hardware though has to properly extend with the drapes falling mostly in front of the windows. On a simple window it is best to extend the rods almost 8” or the same past the window trim.

Valances

When a certain space calls for a treatment but not functionality, then using faux Roman valances can do the trick for you. Though bearing maximum semblance with Roman Shades, their functioning is way different. They use less fabric than any Roman Shades. These valances are also used to conceal windows which have roller shades in them. Mount these in the same way as Roman Shades; outside and high, falling just on top of the window.

Roman Shades

They are popularly crafted from fabric and woven wood. The fabric Roman Shades look great in spaces for kids’ rooms, bathrooms, kitchens as well as other windows where radiators are present and they are too close for the drapery hardware to be installed. Numerous versions of Roman Shades are present, which can be used in slightly relaxed styles making them look all the more elegant. In the more modern and masculine shades flat bottoms can be used for clean spaces. Cordless or a continuous loop chain Roman Shade is best to raise and lower perfectly.

Window treatments can come in a plethora of forms and styles. It is on you to choose the most functional one and make way for a classy and chic home décor. Give your home the much-wanted and unique poise. Whether curtains, drapes, shades or valances; choose the right kind and make your statement of class.
