Dressing the windows is something that is often overlooked by homeowners when decorating their home. Yet, window dressing is one of the key elements to a successful design plan. Your windows should be viewed as "wall art", another opportunity to showcase your personality. Because there are so many styles of window treatment out in the market, it can become an overwhelming experience trying to select the correct treatment for your windows. Start as any artist would....with a blank canvas; trust me, this will make the decision process easier. Start by deciding if you are want to showcase or hide your window. Next, determine how much coverage you want; this will help determine how many layers you will need to achieve the results you're wanting. There are basically three types of window treatment layers: 1) complete privacy & furniture protection (ie: blinds, shades, drapery) 2) semi-privacy (ie: sheers, light weight fabrics panels) 3) decorative (ie: panels, valances, cornices) If you're looking to showcase your windows, and are not concern with the lack of privacy or direct light damaging your furniture, a window treatment like this may be ideal for your home If, on the other hand, you're wanting to showcase your windows, but need a bit more privacy and/or protection for your furniture, a window treatment such as this one may work for your home. It does not have to be complicated...is just a matter of preference and design style. Most stores, that sell window treatments, have professions on staff that can help you make your selections. You may also want to consider taking a photograph of your window with you so they can better help you make the right selections. |
