4 Helpful Tips in Buying Window Treatments

Struggling in choosing the perfect window treatments? There are 4 important things you should consider before buying. Continue reading to find out more.

Color
You'll need to decide if you want the curtains to blend with the decor or to pop. For blending, pick curtains that are the same tone as the wall but a few shades darker, or choose a non-dominant subtle color in the room (a soft shade from the rug, say). A bold color will work like an exclamation point (if you're looking to add some wow). Also keep in mind that in a space where the sun shines through unlined curtains, the color will infuse the room. Blue can be eerie; pink, cheery. Source: RealSimple

 

Noise
A window treatment with multiple layers will help to absorb sound when children are playing and keep the room quiet when they're sleeping. Source: BedBathAndBeyond

Style
Wood shutters and blinds suit traditional, rustic, or Arts and Crafts-style interiors, while aluminum or colored vinyl blinds complement contemporary decor. If you plan to use curtains or valances, shop for blinds that complement these treatments. Neutral blinds won't distract from sheer curtains, and sleek aluminum blinds look chic with dark draperies.

Light and Privacy
How much do you want and need? Decide whether you want your room bright and airy or more "buttoned up" and cozy. Is your goal to block out light for snug sleep in the bedroom or hang a sheer fabric in your kitchen that lets the sun shine in over your farmhouse sink? Are the windows you're covering near the front door or facing the sunny side of the house? All of these factors will influence the styles and fabrics you choose. Source: GoodHouseKeeping
