Whether you want a great view uninhibited by bulky window treatments or you’re on a busy street and need more privacy, window treatments are essential to your home. Each room in your home requires a different level of privacy and style. A lot of this depends on which rooms have the best views and what aesthetic each room exudes. We provide some tips on matching window treatments to your room to help you choose what’s right for you.
Consider the color scheme of your room
Most rooms have a prominent color and an accent color. Determine the main color in the room and decide on how you want your treatments to interact with that color. For a bolder look, invest in window treatments that drastically contrast with your main color for a fun and contemporary feel. This is a popular choice for living rooms, as bold and contrasting colors can add a sense of liveliness and fun. More formal rooms, such as a formal living room or a home office, may call for neutral colored blinds. These tend to blend in to the room’s existing pallet and create a sophisticated finish to a room.
Pay attention to the view
If your bedroom overlooks Lake Michigan, you don’t want heavy, stationary curtains or any window treatment that blocks even a bit of your view. If you face a bustling street, however, you may want to consider a heavier window treatment or stylish shutters. Choosing treatments that fit the interior design of your home is paramount, but you also want to consider the coverage and needs of each room.
Stay consistent
Keeping window treatments the same throughout a room or line of sight adds to the cohesiveness of your home. In homes with open floor plans, having more than one color or style in a single line of sight often looks hectic. It’s not so jarring to have unique window treatments in different rooms, though. You should, however, keep fabric weight consistent throughout the house. If you choose a heavier fabric, stick with this weight, and the same goes for lightweight fabrics.
