Window treatments are an easy accessory that can instantly make a room feel put together. It can bring warmth and color to a room, while also fulfilling a functional role. With draperies and curtains, you can control the amount of light coming into a room and your privacy. Whether your home is modern, transitional, or traditional, there are many drapery styles to choose from that will complement your current interior design. For inspiration, head to the window treatment store at Creative Interiors and Design.
The most common window treatment is panels hung on either side of the window from a rod. There are several tricks to making this look professional. First, we recommend hanging the rod as high as possible to make the room seem larger. The classic “puddling” look of yesterday is out, instead, the curtains should barely touch the floor or hang just above it. If you use short curtains on windows, it can make the room seem smaller. The long lines of the drapes will work in your favor, so be sure to use them.
Another one of our favorite tips is to layer drapery materials. This can be accomplished by layering in soft, translucent sheers under the heavier, opaque curtain. This can give a soft, diffused light to a room. It also gives you the option to have the curtains completely closed, open, or somewhere in-between with sheers. This is an elegant option for most homeowners. The one thing to avoid is using too many layers of fabric. This will limit the amount of light in the room and can make the room seem smaller.
Curtains may not be appropriate in all areas or you may prefer to have different textures in certain spaces. For these situations, you can use fabric, roman, or wooden shades. A valence can lend an additional designer touch and hide hardware. Often people use shades in the kitchen, breakfast nook, bathroom, and family rooms. There are no limits to their use though. When selecting shades, look for the high-quality options at our window treatment store. Wooden shades are durable and have a long lifespan. Roman shades allow you to coordinate their look with the other fabrics and colors in the room. When open, they are neatly tucked away.
