One of the easiest ways to update your home is with some of the latest designs in window treatments. Texture, color, and patterned materials can transform your space in exciting new ways.
You may not have enough money for a complete remodel or full interior design. However, you can utilize the services of an interior designer to transform your room, space, or home with exciting new window treatments.
Best of all, the money you spend may come back to you in monthly savings on your energy bill. New, energy-efficient window coverings can keep the summer heat out of your home, reducing your cooling costs. For those in cooler climates, during winter’s coldest days, the right window treatments can help keep the indoor warmth from heading outside.
Remember, window treatments serve multiple purposes:
- Décor and design
- Creating ambience
- Adding privacy
- Regulating temperature
- Controlling light
Options in Window Treatments to Consider That Will Update Your Home
The modern window treatments highlighted below are just some of the ideas available to you today. A simple change in curtains can update your home in exciting ways.
Bring Nature Indoors
Today, many people want to bring the feel of nature indoors. Natural materials such as woven shades or bamboo blinds create an earthy feel. Consider combining them with a layering of stationary panels for an added touch of elegance. By layering two different window treatments, you can create unique dimensions in your home.
Jewel Tones
Jewel tones in vibrant shades of radiant ruby, shimmering turquoise, deep emerald, and rich amethyst can create an atmosphere of sophisticated luxury or fun. When bringing in jewel tones, you add a sense of romance. These vibrant colors can lend themselves to many fabrics.
Window Sheers or Shades
While you may want darker, thicker window treatments in a bedroom to block out the morning light, you may want to let that same natural light into your other rooms. Window sheers are see-through panels that bring the light in while adding a touch of warmth to the room. From vibrant colors to creamy shades of white, window sheers can breathe new life into your room.
Geometric Designs
Bring some excitement into your home with window treatments featuring fun patterns. Creative, geometric designs call the eyes to your windows, and you can make a new statement just by choosing a dramatic or fun design. Whether you want window curtains with just a touch of design across the top or full-scale geometric window shades, today’s new patterns can transform your room.
Metallics
Some rooms, such as bedrooms and living rooms lend themselves to the brilliance of metallics. Hang these gold, silver, and bronze window curtains from classic metal rods to create a glamorous setting.
Darker Neutrals
A step to the side from metallics, darker neutrals in slate or charcoal add a touch of sophistication to your home. When going for an elegant look, window treatments in these colors may fit the bill.
Shutters
Another option in window treatments is shutters. Choosing solid shutters for a bedroom can help keep the morning light from waking you before your alarm. Another plus – shutters are energy-efficient as they protect against the summer heat and keep in the warmth on the coldest of days.
Pairing the right fabric with the right design is essential. A delicate sheer would not stand a chance against a southwest exposure in our Florida climate. Using the right fabric for its function and design is key – avoiding sheers when looking for privacy or room darkening.
Window treatments can get costly due to yardage or intricacy of design. Some windows are 2 stories tall and motorization may be necessary to figure in to the overall cost.
