Window treatments can be custom made in a variety of
different styles, and working with a designer will help select
the perfect style for the house, design style of room, and needs of
client. Between panels, shades, swags and valances the choices can seem overwhelming, but a good designer can help narrow them down and select whats best. At Kellie Burke Interiors, we can also combine treatment
styles or even create a whole new custom look depending on needs and wants of
client. Window treatments are the best
way to warm up a space, make it feel homey and give a room a finished
look. Many clients are worried about
losing their view or having a treatment that is too heavy, but even a simple
top treatment can make all the difference in the world without obstructing the
view.
Layered looks
for window treatments are also key. The
best under-treatments to start with are woven wood shades, shutters, or shades
in custom fabric options. These all make a great foundation to start with, and for those
with a tighter budget more ornate layers can be added on later. The under-treatment is the best way to
control light and privacy. Any
additional layers, with the exception of some panels, are best to be used as a
decorative option.
Window
treatments can be as ornate or as simple as the client and the space
requires. Panels are the most versatile,
as they can be ultra-modern with clean lines in a simple fabric, or trim can be
added to a patterned fabric and you’ve already stepped up the look. Additional
options can be layered with panels including cornices, swags and jabots (just
to name a few).
Working with a
designer is most beneficial when it comes to window treatments because many
time stock sizes aren’t quite right, leaving an unfinished look. A decorator will also understand scale and
proportion of the space, as well as placement of the treatments on the
wall. Color and texture are also two
qualities that can enhance a space when used correctly.
