Choose elegant drapery for your doors and windows to make your room more glamorous and luxurious. By adding character to your room, you can reflect your personality through your interior design. Choosing the right shades and blinds can be difficult at times. As a result, we’ve compiled a list of dos and don’t to think about before selecting the ideal fit.
The Do’s
Do: Choose a length that is appropriate for the function and style.
A longer fabric panel, on the whole, creates a more formal—and less functional—look. Before deciding on a length, think about how often you’ll open and close the treatments in each room. Is this a dining room where the drapes will serve a decorative purpose rather than a practical one? Is it a bedroom where you’d like to keep the light out at night but let it in during the day? Is it a playroom, for example, where the floor-length fabric would be a hindrance?
Do: When the architecture calls for it, install blinds:
The room’s shape can sometimes dictate which shutters and blinds you should use. If a building’s architecture prevents a rod from being hung across the wall—for example, if the room has dormer windows or slanted ceilings, or if there are a group of windows around one corner—blinds are usually the best option. We often use blinds in rooms where we want to play with light and shadows. We frequently use blinds in rooms where we want to play with light and shadows. Beautiful shadows fall across the room’s surfaces thanks to thick wood slatted louvres; it’s a very dramatic look that adds a lot to the mood.
Do: To add layers, use sheer fabrics.
Sheer drapes or curtains, on their own, add lightness to a room by allowing sunlight to filter through gently. However, if you need privacy or shade, you should pair sheer fabrics with a heavier drape. Sheers are the ideal way to filter light on windows that receive a lot of bright light. Close the entire set for a game night in the playroom, or pull the sheer drapes closed to set the mood for a casual Sunday brunch.
The Don’ts
Don’t cut corners when it comes to size.
When you put up small-sized window coverings, it will ruin the look of your living hall. Shades and blinds should be at least twice the width of the window and longer than the window’s actual height. To achieve a sleek and elegant look for your home, you should not make concessions on size.
Don’t make all of your rooms look the same.
If your bedroom has two windows, you’ll want them to reflect each other. But don’t feel obligated to use the same window treatment throughout your home. If the lack of continuity from room to room bothers you, you can use a theme. For example, you might decide to use natural materials and fibres throughout your home, or you might decide to paint all of your windows in the same colour scheme.
Don’t: Choose a new look for each room.
While you don’t want every room to be identical, we believe that consistency is essential for a home’s cohesiveness. We like to use similar window treatments throughout the house, adjusting them according to the room. Introducing natural woven shades throughout the house for consistency and side drapery panels in soft linens or faux silks in more formal areas like living rooms and dining rooms to dress the room up. In addition, the colour of the window treatments is critical for maintaining consistency throughout the house. It’s amazing how much that contributes to our overall feelings of ease and comfort in our homes.
You can modify the crease of a shade by relying on the pleasantry of a design if you use shades, shutters, and blinds. Contact Excellent Blinds to learn more about different window coverings in various lengths, colours, fabrics, and styles.
