Before you begin your window makeover there are a few things to consider — most importantly deciding on what style of treatment will work best for your window. You should consider how your window opens and make sure that your treatment won't interfere with how your window functions. Once you've got the details down, it's time to get creative! Below are hottest trends in window treatments and ideas that will help you give your home a new look.
Be Colorful
Adding new color or incorporating colors to an existing window are quick ways to update your window. The color forecast for 2007 is white paired with black or navy and an ocean palette including teal, aquamarine and soft green. Jewel tones are also popular and exude a sense of calmness, so try a lavender, orange or gold.
Go Natural
Bringing the outdoors, indoors, is another trend. Exposed wood grain in blinds and natural woven shades are popular. Wood is also big in decorative hardware. Woven shades come in a variety of colors of wood and easily let in diffused light while still giving you privacy when it is needed.
Be Luxurious
Silk, velvet, fur, leather and suede not only look elegant, but also are soft to the touch. The opulent textures create a feeling of simplicity and elegance. To add even more luxury to your room, add some embellishments to the design — try sparkling crystal or beaded tassels.
Go Bold
Patterned fabric is big this year and bold prints top the list of window treatment trends. Incorporating bright florals, geometric patterns and bold stripes to your window makeover will add a youthful spunk to the room.
Be Tech-Savvy
If you're up on the latest gadget, then you may want to equip your windows with blinds that can be controlled with a remote control, a light switch or even the Internet. You can make these high-tech window treatments easy on the eyes by layering fabrics with high-thread-count cottons — it will cozy up your window and room.
