What to Do With Bare Windows? Window Treatment Ideas to Give Your Room That Designer Look

Decorating windows can be a very fun and creative project for someone who takes pride in the appearance of their home. However, it can sometimes be a challenge if you have an arched window or even a classic casement window and have no idea what to do with it. 
You don't necessarily NEED to hire an expensive Interior Designer or Home Decorator to give you some really unique ideas for window treatments. A stroll around your local home improvement store, down the magazine isle at the book store or even an online search can spark your imagination.
What you will want to do is determine the functionality of your window treatment. Do you want it to give you more privacy or do you want it to "frame" your beautiful view? Those are just two questions you should ask yourself.

Once you determine that, you can decide on a thin, transparent material or a thick, opaque material to cover your windows. You can mix and match window treatments so all of your concerns are met. For example, you can have a set of roman shades for privacy and light control behind some beautiful silk drapes that accentuate your home decor and view. I'm just throwing ideas out there to get you thinking.

There are many options for both types of window treatments (those that fit in your window and those that go around it.) The typical mini-blinds have been joined by window shades that offer features similar to mini-blinds but have an added sheer material to better serve your privacy and lighting needs. Sheer window shades like that give a modern and simplistic look to the window. Different shapes, colors, textures, and designs are available for whatever window shade best fits your home.

Today's technology has made motorized shades available for the high-tech crowd and they even come with battery-operated remote controls. These window coverings are on a track on the vertical sides of the window and slide from the top OR bottom. This is a great feature that allows for maximum natural light to come in when the top of the shade is down (like a clerestory window) while also showcasing your view when the bottom of the shade is moved up.

Whatever style you go with, modern or country, keep in mind that window treatments can be the focal point of your room, even a bathroom, kitchen or bedroom. They are not specific to living rooms or dining rooms like one may think. Simply pick a style that compliments the room or adds that "finishing touch." You'd be amazed at how something as simple as a window treatment can really give your home that put-together look and comforting feel.

The biggest problem with big windows is the less control homeowners have. They will be surprised at how their furniture is fading so fast. They may also wonder why the temperature seems to be excruciatingly hot. All of these things would be hard to battle if one does not come prepared. There are always tools to keep things minimal.
