Dressing Up Your Window Treatments

Dressing up Your Window Treatments near Bloomington, Illinois (IL) including Layering, Adding Valances, or Matching Fabrics

We’ve all heard or talked about dressing in layers at some point. Whether it’s for fashion or for practically, layering makes a statement and can often dress up your style. The same theory can be seen throughout your home. For example, many interior designs incorporate a tasteful sort of layering. For example, to dress up a simple couch, people will strategically place a few throw pillows and even a throw blanket folded a certain way. Bedding uses the same technique. By applying this concept of layering to your window treatments from SunGard Window Fashions, you can dress up your home and complement your interior design.

The first way to dress up your window treatments is by pairing them up with one another. This is especially beneficial for more traditional interior design styles. A more traditional design tends to rely on ornate detail and finishes throughout the home. This can take the form of detailed, carved wooden furniture or high-quality curtains paired with neutral shades or blinds. For a simple, yet dressed up style, you can pair a simple, neutral roller shade with bolder curtains. Depending on your interior design, these curtains could also serve as the statement piece in your home’s design.

Next, you can add top treatments, or valances, to easily dress up your window treatments. If you aren’t a fan of full-length draperies, top treatments can add flare and texture to your window treatments without adding a ton of bulk. As an added benefit, valances can conceal any hardware used to install your window treatments. For examples, if you pair a valance with roller shades, the top treatment can conceal the roller. Similarly, when pair with blinds, a valance can cover the bulk of the blinds when you choose to raise them. When combined with PowerView® Automation, the wireless window treatment operating system, your windows will look clean and sleek with no cords or hardware in plain sight.

Finally, you can dress up your window treatments just by coordinating their design with other elements throughout your home. This coordinated design will naturally create a put-together vibe for your space. This can be as simple as choosing complementary colors or more complex, like matching the fabric of your window treatments to the fabric of your throw pillows. If you choose to find complementary colors, you can choose to have your window treatments function as a blended element or as a statement. If you have a bold statement wall, neutral window treatments can help direct the focus in the room. On the other hand, if the rest of your home is more neutral, you can choose bold window treatments to highlight bright windows.

Ultimately, dressing up your window treatments is a quick and easy way to upgrade your home’s interior. By adding extra touches of fabric or coordinating with the rest of your design, your shades, blinds, or curtains can make a statement or add to an overall vibe.
