Numerous minute details, careful selection of the most apt products; a wide array of genres and niches to choose from; differentiating in colors and platforms to suit your room the best; and innumerable such other details come to make way for the window treatments of any house.

Ashley Gensler, founder of Loom Decor is of the opinion,

“They’re often the most complicated decision in a space”.

In order to determine the best curtain or shade for your room, start by thinking of your practical needs such as privacy and light, and then decide on the architecture.

Vice President of Chelsea Workroom, Abby Rodriguez pointed out,

“If the focal point of a room is the window, you want to play it up as much as possible”.

In case you are lost here is what the experts have got to say:-

  • Amplifying the need for darkness

Gensler states, heavy drapes are apt for bedrooms owing to the light blocking capacities. Their features can also be used in the living or dining spaces of any home. To this Rodriguez says that, if your window comes with a beautiful molding, the treatment must be mounted inside, so as not to block the detail.

If an ill-proportioned or small window is at stake here, the treatments will fetch better effects if mounted outside. They come to make an illusion of a bigger window. The drapes must also be hung high, creating a sense of grandeur.

  • Amplifying that spectacular sight

With a series of gauzy, dreamy sheers you can have the best of two worlds with light pouring in as well as privacy. If needed you might just add in a simple layer shade underneath.

  • Amplifying the high-traffic spaces

High-traffic spaces almost always call for Roman Shades. Gensler states these to be

“almost like another element of the window itself, without being too fussy”.

Powder rooms, offices or bedrooms are the best options for these treatments being the highly visited areas of the room.

  • Amplifying the minimalist look

Roller Shades are just the thing you are looking for.

“The clean lines don’t distract from the view or other decor,”

says Gensler. “They tend to work well in spaces where function may come before form, like bathrooms or playrooms.”

No home has ever been designed easy. With every detail in your house, comes a calculated choice and detailed scrutiny of the numerous options available to a homeowner in the market to choose from. All homeowners must to go through numerous options before ultimately deciding on the look they are planning for their homes. What needs to be understood is that while they devote 75% of their attention to the rug and the sofa, smaller objects like window treatments mustn’t be missed out.
