When looking to elevate your window treatments to enhance the overall look and feel of your rooms there are a few styling options to consider.

Window treatments indeed play a significant role in interior design and there are plenty of creative options to explore. Here are some tips and ideas on how to make your window treatments more interesting and uniquely stylish.

Choose your fabric

Consider both the visual appeal and functionality of the room you are dressing. Window treatments serve more than just an aesthetic purpose; they also play a crucial role in how a room functions and feels. Your fabric choice should compliment all of these elements, whether you choose silk, linen, sheers or jaquard. 

At Joseph Ashe we offer a wide range of quality fabrics for you to select from. 

Ask yourself a few simple questions to decide on which fabric would work best for you.

How much natural light do I want in the room? 

In bedrooms, for example, blackout curtains might be necessary for a good night's sleep, while in a living room, you may prefer sheer curtains to let in soft, diffused light.

How much privacy is required? 

Rooms facing the street or neighboring properties may need window treatments that offer more privacy.

Do I need some versatility with my window treatments?

Some spaces may require versatile window treatments that can adapt to changing needs. For instance, rooms used for various purposes, such as a family room that doubles as a guest bedroom, might benefit from multi-functional window treatments.

What is my budget?

While custom-made options can be tailored to your exact needs, there are standard alternatives that can still meet your functional requirements.

How much maintenance will my window treatments need?

Consider how easy or challenging it is to maintain and clean your chosen window treatments. Some materials may require more maintenance than others.

Will this drapery suit my home's aesthetic?

Think about the overall interior design style and mood you want to achieve. Window treatments should complement the room's decor and contribute to the desired ambiance.

Do I need to regulate the temperature of my room?  

Window treatments can also impact the room's temperature. Heavier curtains or blinds can help insulate a room and regulate indoor temperature, making them ideal for bedrooms and living areas.

By asking these questions and considering the specific needs of each room, you can select window treatments that not only enhance the aesthetics but also improve the functionality of your space. Window treatments should be thought of as an integral part of your room's design, providing the perfect balance of style and practicality.
