analysis: Using the Softer Touch For Decorating Windows

Window decorating

Notes:

• Why do we decorate our windows? Two reasons: 1) to provide some privacy when we live in close proximity of other living homes. And 2) to shade the room from the bright and hot sun rays during the hot summer months.
• And then there is a 3rd reason: to add some color and decor that adds to the design theme of the room.
• Window curtains address all of these reasons. The advantage window curtains have over blinds is the softer touch they give to a room – plus varied added decor and color that can be found in curtain patterns.
• And depending on the texture of the curtain, you window view is not completely blocked. It is partly shaded to give a view with some shaded privacy – perfect for living and recreation rooms.

Simply perfect for the bedroom

Notes:

• If your bedroom has a window door opening to the outside, then beautiful, curtains extending from the door/window top to the floor is the best option to give you privacy and a feeling of security as you sleep. Curtains that can be closed and opened as you need.
• Better yet, install a motorized curtain opener with a timer that opens the curtains in the morning to welcome in to a new day. And another timer to closes the curtains in the evening.
• And then add a remote where you can open/close the curtains from your bed. Who wouldn’t want to view the stars from bed before you close out the day?

When you need it really dark

Notes:

• You can opt for roman shades to cover the window – again it gives your room a softer touch. Or you can add window blinds. But no matter what you use, a bright, sunny day will not give you a great media watching experience.
• That is where blackout drapes come into play. They can be easily drawn over the windows to give your room the darkness it needs for better media viewing and sleeping.

Accenting your window area

Notes:

• Drapes are generally made of heavy material that extends from the hanging rod to the floor. They can function as accents or move over the window to block out light and insulate the window or door area:

Filtering the sunlight

Notes:

• Curtain offers that softer touch – especially for bedrooms. And it’s in the bedroom where you get dress, sleep and other where privacy from the outside world is important.
• But you don’t want to shut out the light – so how about filtering it using sheer curtains. You can use a fabric that allows the most light through but with some privacy. And then use a heavy drapery for maximum privacy and darkness as needed.
