Remember your grandmother's old window treatments? I bet we are picturing the same heavy curtains in yellow or yellow beige. Window treatments have come a long way since the days of thick, heavy curtains. Today light, decorative layered treatments are used combining stylish interior décor and function. A combination of materials is used to integrate the window treatments with the overall design of a room. Using a combination of "window coverings" style is captured maintaining the rooms overall function. This comes into play in all rooms. A bathroom for instance needs to be an area of complete privacy from the world outside. However, many bathrooms are retreats, spa like mini get-a-ways for individuals to relax. Some people prefer a warm light to be present while others like the serenity darkness brings. Whatever your preference a layered window treatment should blend and give the result you are looking to achieve. Sunscreen roller shades are a natural feel that maintain light while giving off a warm glow combining natural light and privacy. Shades are often paired nicely with a decorative valance. Another option that works well in bathrooms is blinds. You can choose from cellular shades which are adjustable. You are able to maintain privacy by only lowering the top half or adjust the cellular shade for minimal coverage, depending on what you desire. Vinyl vertical blinds are also another popular option for bathrooms because of the amount of light control. Draperies and window treatments are used for a variety of reasons. Many are used to filter the rooms light, to insulate from the cold, to repel the heat and to create privacy. Modern window treatments are meant to provide a whole lot more than those of yester years. They are functional and aesthetically pleasing. Blinds and shade don't only fall under the category of window treatments any longer they are also considered interior design décor. Turing the square window into a piece that provides a statement or creates interest is something any homeowner can do. Texture and color can be combined to give windows a meaning in the room as well as to provide the function of lighting and air circulation. When looking into different window treatments it is important to think about the room. Are you designing the treatments around existing décor or completely renovating? Here is a tip to consider when using a light filtering blind as part of a window treatment layer to create a combination of treatments to soften the blinds and add flair. This can be done pairing a floor length sheer and drape or by adding a colorful valance. Blinds and shades are a great base for windows.
