Dos and Don’ts for Your Treatments
Although it can be overwhelming to try to sort through all the options and decisions when it comes to window treatments, just know that styling your windows doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, at Treasure Coast Window Fashions serving Hobe Sound, we have some tips and tricks from our decades of experience that can help you narrow all the choices down. Check them out below, and be sure to contact one of our consultants for info on your particular situation.
Using Pattern When Considering New Shades or Blinds
Patterns create visual interest, bring dynamism to a space, and can reflect your personal style, so don’t be afraid to bring on the pattern. If that’s your plan, DO use complementary designs that have similar scale and tone. And just remember: DON’T make it overcomplicated. If you bring in too many patterns with too many lines, tones, and sizes, you can make the look feel discombobulated and jarring. Be sure to have a cohesive concept for your patterns.
When Considering Hard Window Treatments
Choosing shutters or blinds for your window can be the best decision for the space, so don’t be afraid of them. If you plan to use hard treatments, DO select higher-end genuine or faux wood shutters with wide slats because they present an elegant, upscale look that might help with the resale value of your home. DON’T use off-the-shelf DIY blinds—you’ll find that they frequently can break easily, won’t hold up to the sun, and will look less luxe. You probably won’t be happy with your “savings” for very long.
Treatments for Your Whole Home
We know it can be tempting to find one treatment to outfit all of a home’s windows, but that would be a mistake. Instead, DO find the treatment that’s right for each room, even if it’s not the same one you use for other rooms. DON’T overlook each room’s individual needs: some rooms need complete blackout; others need light-filtering. Some rooms need full privacy; others need it only at night. If you find the treatment that fits the needs of each space, you’ll like the result in your home overall.
Using Natural Light
Relying on natural vs artificial light can make a space feel, well, natural. So make the most of it! DO let Mother Nature transform the look of your room, especially if you have a treatment that diffuses light spectacularly, such as Pirouette® Sheer Shades from Hunter Douglas. DON’T leave your room open to peeping toms by leaving your window untreated. Privacy matters!
A Cohesive Look at the Window
To create a cohesive “vibe” at your window, DO consider layering to add style, depth, and dimension and to make your window the room’s focal point. DON’T take it too far, though. If you use too many layers or make the look too heavy, you’ll throw off the room’s balance and make it seem cheap vs stylish. You can be sure to create an overall look that “wows” by contacting a Treasure Coast associate today.
