Window Treatment Styles

When we talk about the style of the window treatments, we're also talking about the choice of fabrics, colors that add to the beauty and enjoyment of your room.

You can add interest to your windows by repeating fabrics, or colors that are used in other parts of your room, or use a contrasting border, cording, or fringe. The unique touches you bring to your window treatments reflect your individual style.

You can reflect your personal style in many ways such as with draperies. They offer many options in rod styles, such as tab tops, tie tops, numerous types of pleats, grommets, rod pockets size, flounce tops, or plain rings. Then you can choose to use valances or not. If you choose to use a valance, you also have several chooses such as gathered, pleated, shirred, swaged, bundled, formal, casual, scalloped, lace, or flat.

With fabric shades, you have just as many choices, if not more. Fabric shades are available in many different styles including flat Roman style, balloon, Austrian, bottom arched, pleated, and flat panels, as well as sheers and coordinating fabrics.

Perhaps you favor metal Mini Blinds, if so, then you have several choices to select from in slat weight and size, specialty finishes, privacy options, header choices, cloth tapes, and if that wasn't enough then how about the hundreds of different colors they are available, including special order colors.

If your tastes lean toward wood blinds, then you have nearly as many choices. Wood blinds area available in several colors, finishes, slat sizes, and tape colors. There are a few styles of wood blinds that are made without the usual cord holes, to give a sleeker look. When ordering wood blinds ask about different header designs and cord control options.

If you like the look of cellular shades or honeycomb shades, because of their clean look, they come in both sheer and non-sheer materials. With cellular shades, you have the choice of single, double, or triple cell options as well as card hardware.
Many styles of cellular shades have eliminated the cord hardware, while others have loop controls.

For those of you who like the look of natural blinds, which are also referred to as matchstick or bamboo blinds, you have several selections to choose from as well. These blinds are available in matchsticks, sewn slats, and several other options,
which have a natural fabric-like appearance. Then you also have several options for valances roll or fold up operations as well as the type of edge binding, and privacy liners to decide on.

As you see, once you've decided on the type of window treatments you want, you still have a lot of other choices to make to find the perfect solution to meet your home's requirements for privacy, light control, function, and style.
