There are days when we want to block out the sunlight and days that we want to let in. Before moving into a new or temporary Consider the color and style of your furniture when selecting window treatments for your new or temporary home.home, think about the type of window treatments you will have.

The type of window treatments you choose depends on the room, personal taste, and desired level of privacy. For instance, a kitchen will have different window treatments than a living room. Different rooms in a house require different levels of privacy. In a bathroom, for example, you would want the window treatments to allow for complete privacy. However, in a dining room or living room, complete privacy is not a necessity.

For the living room consider semi-sheer window treatments. This will allow for sunlight to enter but also allow for privacy when desired. For a bathroom, go for a pull down roller shade. This way you can have it up when you want light and down when complete privacy is needed. Having a stained glass window is another way to create privacy in a bathroom. In the dining room, drapes are a good option. They add character to a room and give it a Victorian look. Drapes also work well in bedrooms. However, layering widow treatments in bedrooms, such as having curtains over blinds, can also be a smart choice. This way you have total control over how much light gets in.

Besides choosing a type of window treatment, you will need to consider color too. Window treatment colors should be based off of the room’s style and color scheme.

It’s usually best to choose the window treatments last because it will be easier to match them to something then trying to match all the furniture in a room to the window treatments. However, if you already have the window treatments in place, and now need to find furniture, sometimes opting for rental furniture is wisest.
