3 Modern Window Treatments to Elevate Any Design Style
Window treatments are a must when creating a home that feels tailored and intentional. Not only do they add style and privacy to a space, but they also help to control light, increase energy efficiency, and create mood. Window treatments can add depth and dimension, color and/or pattern, and bring character to a room.
Given that they are so impactful, choosing the right ones for your home is so important. Let's dive into some modern solutions…
Crisp and Clean: Roman Shades
Roman shades are one of my favorite recommendations. They offer clean, crisp, modern lines while being fully functional. Roman shades also have a few additional benefits over more traditional styles. First, they can be cordless or motorized, safer than corded shades.
Second, they have many customization options, such as fabric, color, pattern, and opaque or sheer. Third, the installation of Roman shades is incredibly flexible, allowing them to be mounted inside or outside the window frame. Also, I'd like to add that they pair incredibly well with drapery panels, allowing you to elevate your room's style further.
Sleek and Stylish: Roller Shades
Roller shades are a classic that showcases a clean, sleek, and modern vibe. They're low-maintenance and can be easily cleaned with a vacuum. Due to their lack of slats or vanes, they are easy to operate and durable.
Roller shade fabrics can be UV resistant, allowing them to protect your interior furnishings. There are many fabric options as well as operating systems. A well trained window professional can guide you on what works best in your application.
Elegant and Versatile: Drapery Panels
Drapery panels are where beauty and function meet. Draperies display a long and lean profile, creating vertical lines of panels that are ideal for modern design. Solid colors, textured fabrics, and sheers can add simplicity and sophistication, while fun patterns can make a statement.
Furthermore, drapery panels help to insulate and soundproof your home while giving you freedom of choice in fabric, color, pattern, and/or lining. They can also impact the general aesthetic of a room, making the space look and feel smaller and cozier, or larger and taller. Best of all, they can be easily paired with most other window treatment styles, providing additional flexibility in light control, privacy, and style.
Window treatments add that final finishing touch to a room and help to create cohesiveness. They should reflect your personal taste and your home's vibe, but also be functional. With so many styles and options, I understand that it can be overwhelming to select the right options for your home.
