Windows are natural focal points in your home. Whether you have large windows surrounding your living room or a single window over your kitchen sink, the treatments you choose can make or break the room’s overall look. If you need inspiration on how to adorn your windows, we’re here to help.
Here are window treatment ideas to suit every room in your house:
Living Room
Do you spend most of your free time in your living room? If so, you’ll want to ensure the space positively impacts your mood. One way to do this is by letting in as much sunlight as possible. Because you want natural light to seep into the room, you should choose window treatments like sheers or curtains made from light fabrics. Hang these types of treatments six inches above the window and let them skim the floor to make the room feel bigger.
Dining Room
Make a statement in your dining room with long-hanging drapery panels. These kinds of window treatments come in many different colors, patterns, and textures, so you can find a pair that perfectly complements the rest of the space. When you choose dark-colored fabric or fabrics with ornate designs, you’ll frame not only your window but the entire room. You can also do a double treatment, mixing a hard treatment like shutters with your soft drapes.
Kitchen
If you spend a lot of time cooking and eating in your kitchen, you’re going to want window treatment options that are easy to maintain. You’ll also want to consider if they’re moisture-resistant and how much sunlight they allow in the space. Roller shades, Roman shades, and shutters are excellent options because they’re easy to clean and provide a classic look. You could also consider hanging a valance at the top of the window to bring more color and personality into the room.
Bathroom
Aside from the bedroom, the bathroom is one space in the home where privacy is essential. That’s why you should opt for privacy treatments like roller shades, Roman shades, or faux wood blinds when decorating your primary bathroom or powder room. Each option is simple and modern while providing a sense of security. Additionally, they’re moisture-resistant, which is ideal for those who like to take long showers.
Bedroom
When shopping for custom window treatments for the bedroom, you need to consider your sleeping preferences. If you prefer complete darkness, block out natural light with room darkening or blackout shades. As the names suggest, these make for a darker, more private, and more intimate space. However, if you like to be woken up by the sun or want natural light to pour into your room, consider light curtains or sheers. You could also do a mix of blinds and sheers or a valance, so you can control how much light you’re getting at any given time.
