Great Ways With Window Treatment Design
Selecting window treatments (and paint colors) are among the toughest design details for the average homeowner to conquer. With so many choices, and so many ways to get distracted, you can easily end up with the wrong look for your home.
First, consider the function of the room. What level of privacy do you require? Sheer and semi-sheer fabrics are great options for filtering the light into spaces where you don't need complete coverage. Consider a top down bottom up shade if you are on the ground floor. My top choices are roman shades and drapery panels—perfect for the effortlessly stylish room.

| Use a double treatment for the most flexibility. The flat roman blocks prying neighbors' eyes while still allowing light to filter in. Drapery panels add softness and can block more light when needed. |
Bring in the texture! Window treatments are a great opportunity to introduce various textures in the space.

| Break the rules with intention. The long drapery panels puddle slightly on the floor in this eclectic Eurpoean-inspired bedroom. It works. |
| Top down bottom up shades are great if you live on the ground floor. |
Love the printed sheer fabric behind the aqua drapes. Fun!
Keep it simple. White romans are always classic.

Layer sheer drapes with a heavier drapery fabric. Extra softness and function.
| Do fill a corner with drapes when two windows meet. The L-shaped rod was a good choice. |

Fine Art & Portraits by Laurel I have a Chinese wood carving, perhaps one side of an opium bed, which travels from place to place with me. In one of these shots I used it to block the view of my bed, which was separated from the dining area by French windows. In the second example, I used it over a sliding glass door.
