There is a whole specialized aspect of design for some interior designers: Window Treatments. With so many options available, how does one choose what's best?
Most of the decision comes from the functionality such as privacy control or light control followed by the size of the window. Lastly consider personal taste or design aesthetic (i.e. traditional, contemporary, etc.) in your choice of treatment options.
I'm all for classic designs that are less trendy and more timeless. Here's some of my favorites...
An inverted pleat valance and pinch pleat drapes with trim accent
Straight cornice with trim accent
Grommet top drapes with horizontal banding
Inverted pleat valance with trim accent
 |
| Arched cornice with double roller shades |
 |
| Pleated cornice with decorative ties |
 |
| French pleat drapes with rings and contrasting vertical banding |
 |
| Flat fold Roman shades with trim accent |
There seems to be a running them in the examples noted above: Trim, Trim, Trim! It adds character, style and humph to the most basic window treatment design.
Happy trend spotting...
Peace and Blessings,
