Window Treatment Ideas

Mention the term window treatment and most people will usually think of curtains. However, there is a wide range of opportunities beyond curtains available to today’s discerning homeowner. Window treatments vary in type, design, texture, and material to add creativity to any room.

Festive Coloration for Window Treatments
Painting the window frames in a bright color can bring a nice accent to a room. Conversely, using a bright color on a window blind or a Roman Shade can lighten up a room and make it feel more festive. Opposing colors between the shades and window frame is another creative alternative.

Different Textures for Window Treatments
For the people that shy away from bright and loud colors, picking a unique texture for the window might be a better alternative. Instead of choosing silk drapes maybe a wooden material would be a better choice. Wooden blinds as well as woven woods are available to add an “earthy” feel to the room and allow filtered sunlight to enter as well.

Make the Window bigger with Window Treatments
A room that has small windows can create a closed-in or cramped feeling. Plantation shutters are typically large and standout well away from the window frame. This makes the window appear bigger and opens up the room.

Different Materials for Window Treatments
Some people have only considered cloth type material for their drapes and blinds. However, there are several choices to fit almost any type of decorating project. Blinds are now made from aluminum. Some woven wood shades are made from real wood and bits of grass. All of this opens up new possibilities for creating a whole new look for a room with some minor changes.
