Reasons Why You Should Go For Unique Window Treatments

By Andrea Davidson


Everywhere you go, you will come across windows. We use windows to see the world we live in and to increase the elegance of the place we live in as well. Treating windows properly is a necessary factor when it comes to decorating homes. By involving unique window treatments, you will have a home that no one will ever see anywhere else.

If your preference is to keep it as natural as possible, it is better to go for natural palettes consisting of earthy colors such as cream, beige, brown, green, and blue. Achieving a more feminine appearance is possible by hanging flowing panels made of soft and swishy silk fabric. However, you could extend the outside appearance of your windows by applying natural or Roman shades, panel tracks, and wooden blinds.

The use of silk panels and valances with a touch of blue offers a prettier look. Block prints on curtains are in demand now because they allow light to flow into rooms without losing privacy, making a bold statement as well. For master bedrooms, hanging curtains in four separate panels will add brightness to the room by allowing adequate sunlight to come indoors.

While such store-bought drapery is also able to prevent excess sunlight from entering your rooms and prevents fading to a certain extent, they do very little to add to the fullness of the window. The difference between the two is in the lining. Custom made draperies are usually made using a much thicker poly-cotton fabric for their lining, which blocks sunlight as much as possible and fades very little.

The polyester component of the lining allows the drapery to add fullness and increased strength to itself. Such lining is especially useful for rooms that confront higher moisture levels than others. The reason for this is because the cotton component in the fabric captures and releases fumes more easily; making windows treated with drapery a must for busy bathrooms and kitchens.

Another advantage of having custom made drapery for your windows is that designed ad made according to your likings, location, and specifications of your rooms. However, store-bought drapery is designed in such a way that they only please the majority of homeowners. Such drapery include ones made using neutral and solid colors, and come in several standard sizes, which may not suit your window specifications.

Whitewashed rooms go great for sheets and they can be purchased at most material retailers in your neighborhood. The ends of sheets at the bottom can be kept open or you could stick them across the rod. You can even drape them over the rod. However, keeping the bottom end open is the most opted method of treatment.

If your wish is to furnish your home with unique window treatments, being creative and using unique ideas such as the application of stickers, hanging ornaments, fable characters, flower chains, and autumn leaf garlands may work well. Painting the glass might also be an essence for livening up the look of rooms where children are mostly present. Such approaches are able to brighten up the otherwise dull rooms, making them more appealing to visitors.
