Window Treatments that Make Your House into a Home

These are the items that reflect your personality and your life in their shapes, colors and textures. A big part of this is your choice in window treatments. Untreated windows look bare and colorless, but the right blinds, shades, shutters or curtains can make your house cozier and more welcoming than ever.

Natural Materials

Natural materials are making a big comeback to the world of home decor. Wooden blinds add a beautiful texture to a cozy space, such as a home office or library. Another popular natural material is bamboo, which is often made into gorgeous blinds that filter the sun, still allowing in natural light.

Floor-to-Ceiling Curtains

While curtains seem to appear in nearly every house, the right curtain panels can change the whole look of the room. Choose long panels that reach from just below the ceiling to the floor. Opt for heavy, lush fabrics for cozy spaces, bold fabrics for bright rooms, and sheers for rooms with a view.

Solar Shades

Solar shades combine the sleek lines that are so well-loved these days with the benefits of a shade that gives you energy savings. These shades usually allow you to see outdoors, but filter out sunlight and heat for energy savings. These shades are super easy to wipe clean as well.

Roman Shades

Roman shades have equally simplistic lines as compared to solar shades but can be customized further in a variety of prints, fabrics, and textures. You may want to opt for a set of Roman shades that have permanent folds in the bottom or for ones that you can pull up and down every day. These can be easily vacuumed clean as well.

If you enjoy the look of Southern charm, plantation shutters may be a welcome addition to your bathroom or kitchen.

While they do not block out sunlight as well as energy-efficient blinds do, they combine the beauty of natural wood with a traditional design.

Plantation shutters can cover your entire window or just the lower half of your window.

Your window treatments can set the tone for your entire home. Do not pick the simplest or cheapest option available at your local store. Instead, consider exactly what you are looking for to make your home cozier, and take time to touch a variety of fabrics and materials. You may even discover that custom-designed treatments make you the happiest.
