Stylish Ideas For Window Treatments
Do you have a window or windows in need of a makeover? Think beyond just getting new curtains, blinds or shades. This video by TheNestTV presents nine stylish ideas for window treatments:
1. Warm up a cold room: If you have floor to ceiling windows, create an intimate and warm setting by hanging two rods of curtains, one with sheer white drapes to allow light in, and the other with solid bright color drapes to provide color and privacy. Adding a brightly colored chandelier will attract the eye upward.
2. Transform a window frame into an exotic new shape: Using power tools, carve a piece of wood into a decorative shape such as a mock Moroccan design and attach to the window frame. Paint the wood and the frame in the same color for a seamless new window treatment. Add more decorative pieces in a similar style for a finishing touch.
3. Go green: Installing sheek roller shades in a sheer woodgrain pattern provides maximum light and style. Finish the window treatment by adding bamboo stalks to a mini rock garden and placing it on the window still. Accent the room with items made from natural materials to complete your green theme.
4. Protect your privacy: Add a decorative tier panel. Attach a lattice aluminum screen to the bottom window frame and paint the screen and frame in the same color. Keep the top of the window bare to let in light.
5. Add hot hardware: Dress up plain drapery with unique decorative tiebacks. Visit a flea market to find your own design treasures, such as teacup saucers.
6. Frame some artwork: Create a work of art by choosing a curtain with an expressive print and surrounding it with panels in complementary colors. Play off the print with other objects of similar design to create a cohesive artistic expression.
7. Liven up a lone corner window: Apply graphic print wallpaper on an accent wall to add a layer of texture; paint the adjacent wall in a similar color. Placing a console table under the window makes it a focal point of the room. Hang a balloon-shaped curtain and add eclectic decorative items to provide more points of interest.
8. Open up a windowless room: Create the illusion of a window. Hanging a mirror creates the illusion of depth and reflects light back into the room. Add a mirrored armoire to carry out the illusion farther. Hanging curtains and draping them along sides of mirror finishes off this design treat.
9. Merge “his” and “her” styles: You don’t have to choose between floral style and dorm chic. Combine your preferences to create your own unique style. Play off plaids with floral pillows. Pick accessories in neutral shades and add in color where you can.
