If your windows are ho-hum, it’s time to take them from drab to daring with new treatments. From curtains to plantation shutters to drapes and more, just adding the right window treatments can totally transform any room of the house. Here are some creative ways to show off your style and be functional all at the same time.
Go Neutral
For a pure, natural bedroom look, you can’t beat the elegance of floor-to-ceiling window treatments in a neutral tone, says HGTV. If you have a large bedroom with opulence just waiting to be set free, try dramatic ivory draperies featuring a gold Greek key design along the valance.
Formal Elegance
For a beautiful look fit for a formal dining room, choose a heavy brocade curtain held back by silk tasseled rings to let in as much natural light as possible. You get the formality of heavy drapes yet the luxury of a light-hearted element attached to simple rings at the top for easy opening and closing.
Breezy Sunroom Feel
Got a sun room, screen room or all-season porch? The whole purpose of this type of room is to let in the sunshine while enjoying comfort all year long. Long sheers in pale yellows and off-whites that can be tied back with loops would be perfect. Even if your porch isn’t entirely surrounded by walls, embrace that outdoor feel and don’t be afraid to add outdoor-proof or easy-to-wash fabrics for a stylish touch.
Embrace Vibrant Colors
Who says drapes have to be white? Mix it up a little and add a splash of bright pink, purple or blue to any contemporary bedroom. This is perfect for a teen’s bedroom where the louder, the better! You can pair vibrant striped sheers with deep-colored panels for a bright look that will cheer anyone up.
Get Stripey
There’s no rule that says curtains have to be one solid color. Hanging from a grommet heading with rings, apply a heavy black and shite stripe fabric for a contemporary, streamlined look that will take any room from boring to beautiful. This is the perfect solution to a room that lacks definition or character. Let the window treatments do all the talking!
Lots of Frills
For a country cottage guest room or fancy girls’ room, embrace the frill of it with custom puff-top silk draperies for a unique, innocent look.
Who Needs Windows?
You don’t have to be relegated to curtains only on windows. Use drapes in other areas of the room against walls or as partitions to other rooms in an effort to create visual depth and dimension.
