Window Treatments

Tone-on-tone styles are a safe bet for any design lover looking to bring Roman shades into their home. This style is a layering effect using slightly different shades of the same color. If you're on a budget, this is a great way to go since most retailers carry ready made options in neutral tones.
By-Pass Plantation Shutters add permanent warmth to this sliding door wall in this condo family room.
Coordinate shades with furniture. Usually, I try to avoid anything matching in a space. However, when done in the style of en suite design, it works quite well. En suite design is all about repeating a pattern or motif throughout a smaller or chopped up space to create a consistent, cohesive look.
The modern, functional convenience of cellular blinds is great but the drapery fabric helps maintain the traditional look and feel. Draperies do not have to fully functional either. Here the dummy drapes help pull the eye vertical accenting the ceiling height.
We would consider the natural twig blinds to be rustic by themselves and be found in a lodge setting. But using them in a modern/contemporary setting like this brings texture and an unexpected element to a style known for its clean and sleek finishes.
The window treatments here help frame the external view and draw the eye to the vertical height of the ceiling. In this contemporary inteior the traditionally pleated panels mixes well with the overall design.
The unexpected use of traditional plantation shutters in a modern home office adds a great detail to this loft space. The white casing draws your eye to the view of the bridge beyond.
