7 Ways to Upgrade Your Window Coverings and Elevate Your Space!
Are you tired of the same old boring window treatments? Are you ready to make a change and upgrade your home’s style? While standard white blinds are a great blank canvas, your windows are actually a great place to play with fun colors, different materials, and new styles. And custom window coverings really open up the door to all of these materials, colors, and more. Here are our favorite ways to elevate your space with your window treatments!
Bold Colors
Bold hues can add a pop of color to plain walls and draw the eye in. If you are tired of white or grey, opt for fabric shades in bright and bold or deep hued colors. Roman shades in navy blue linen are perfect for coastal themed homes, or for modern spaces, try persimmon hued roller shades for a fun pop of color.
Bold Patterns
If playing with color isn’t enough, try playing with patterns. Fabric shades offer a variety of patterns, from modern abstract patterns to bold paisley. It can also give you the opportunity to incorporate more than one color into your shades, if you are bold enough to try! Have a shabby chic bedroom? Try out a floral or toile pattern in your chosen hues. For an industrial home, try a “grungy” abstract pattern that mimics painted metal.
Black Shutters
Most people opt for white, grey, or wood stained shutters. But have you considered black shutters? Nothing makes more of a statement than black window coverings! These window treatments are a favorite of home buyers and they are willing to pay more for a home that has them. So investing in shutters means investing in the resale value of your home. Just imagine that curbside appeal and the double takes you’ll get from neighbors when you have black interior shutters installed!
Natural Shades
Instead of playing with color or patterns, consider playing with texture and material. Natural shades are made of grasses or woods like bamboo. Their natural beauty brings the outdoors in and amps up the texture on your walls. These shades roll up into a neat stack when open, and provide great privacy when closed. They also look great in modern and coastal styled homes!
Vertical Panels
Vertical panels are the bougie cousin to vertical blinds. These wide panels make a statement and provide a sophisticated and elevated look to your home. Vertical panels are perfect for sliding glass doors and large windows or a wall of windows. They come in a variety of materials and colors to match your personal taste. And if we may be so bold, might we suggest a fun pop of color?
Sheer Shades
Sheer shades, sometimes referred to as zebra shades, have alternating veins of opaque and sheer materials. They operate much like regular blinds, but are made of fabric for a softer touch. Because they are a little different from traditional blinds, they’ll turn heads and will receive lots of compliments from guests! Their elegant style is perfect for both modern and traditional homes, and they come in a variety of colors and fabrics to meet your unique style needs. Have a large window? Try vertical sheer shades!
Dramatic Drapes
Finally, if you love your basic white or cream blinds, shutters, or cellular shades, but want to layer on the drama, try adding on custom drapes in fun and bold colors or patterns! Custom drapes add a soft and luxurious touch to your walls. But because the fabric options are nearly endless, you can choose from black velvet to red and white stripes and everything in between!
