Window Style 101

Your window coverings can play a big role in the style of your space. So, whether you’re aiming for a tranquil feeling or something bright to express your personality, you’re bound to find an idea here! Here are a few tips to gussy up your windows.

1. To generate a sense of drama or to make a smaller room feel bigger, try floor-to-ceiling curtains.
2. To add a dash of colorful character to a neutral room, or just to show off your personality, try curtains, roman shades, or even roller shades with a quirky print.
3. To really pull a room together, try having window curtains made with the same fabric that is on your throw pillows, an ottoman or even the headboard on your bed.
4. If you feel your room is a tad too dark, brighten things up with classic white curtains.
5. If you love sprucing things up for the season, or just like to change things up every once in a while, try changing out the curtains in your main living space. You can go as festive as you want to!
6. If you’re having problems finding the perfect pattern for your curtains, don’t hold yourself to normal window curtains. Try looking at tablecloths, twin bed sheets or shower curtains to find what you’re looking for.
7. For an understated and classy look, try layering solid curtains over patterned sheers.
8. To spruce up a simple shade, add trim to the bottom. You could use anything from a pretty ribbon to sea shells you discovered on vacation.
