Window Treatments Can Make Your House a Home
Beautifully decorated windows can make a room look attractive and inviting not only from inside but from the outside too.
There are plenty of options to decorate your windows – curtains, drapes, blinds, shades, shutters etc.
Decorate your window such that it is both stylish as well as functional. Soft and hard window treatments can be used in combination. Shades, window blinds and shutters are hard window treatments, which use materials like wood or vinyl. Soft window treatments on the other hand include anything made of soft materials such as sheers, curtains, drapes, swags, valances.
Windows are specifically meant to allow more light and air into the house. So, the selection of colours for the windows also matters and contributes to the style along with giving a soothing feeling. Today, a combination of neutral colours is used to bring an aesthetic sense.
The wise selection of curtains, drapes and blinds adds an additional charm to the windows. Experimenting with different shades of the same colour can give a unique look.
Using different textures, either solid fabrics with soft ones like velvet or satin or combining rough fabrics with smoother ones, too can give a varied look. Another way to add textures to the windows is using eco-friendly products like grass, bamboo, jute and paper to bring in natural elegance.
Roll-up blinds are back with new eco-friendly textures and colours. They have their own natural lustre and add warmth to the room.
Linen pleated shades have the option of lowering the shades from the top – allowing light to come in over the top of the shades, which gives more control over light. Roman shades come in a variety of styles, from crisp and contemporary to bold and dramatic. Curtains and drapery add to the finishing touch to the room while wooden shutters give a classic touch to the windows. Stylish hardware accessories like rods, pulls or tassels complement the window treatment.
Window coverings in any form define the style of your room. So choose all the elements such that they are in harmony with the rest of the room decor and make the room look complete.
