When redecorating your home or setting up a new place, we believe every detail should be perfect. Let’s open the window and bring some light into our spaces! We recently launched a brand-new range ofwindow treatmentproducts to help you complete your dream home.

To help get you started, we’ve compiled a buying guide for all things window treatments. Read our tips and tricks to discover the styles that fit each room and window in your home.

What Are Window Treatments?

“Window treatments” are any products used to dress, hang on and style your window. The main types in this category include curtains, blinds, shades, curtain rods and hardware. All of these products can be used to elevate the look of a room, adjust the amount of light let in and out and provide much-needed privacy. Not to mention the energy-saving benefits that help keep your home cool.

Types of Window Treatments

While window treatments offer great function to your space, they are also stylish additions to your home. Don’t worry about a one-style rule when it comes to dressing your windows. You can mix and match throughout your home depending on the kind of privacy and light filtration you need. Let’s break down the styles to help you find the right fit.

Pull Back the Curtains to a Beautiful Home

Let’s start withcurtains and drapes. Both styles are made with fabric and can be hung using your choice of hardware, but there are key design differences to note while shopping.

窗帘通常挂在百叶窗和窗帘等其他窗户上，为房间提供更多的深度和风格。如果你正在考虑为你的空间装窗帘，你可以利用它作为一个增加色彩的机会，尤其是考虑到更换窗帘是多么容易。

Drapes are generally made from a thicker material or fabric. They offer more light-eliminating benefits and privacy. Drapes work well in a bedroom; the black-out feature will make your room extra cozy for bedtime.

Blinded by Style

Then there are blinds and shades. Blinds are usually made of wood, vinyl or metal. Shades, on the other hand, are created with a large swath of soft fabric. Usually, this style has two options: open or closed. Both varieties are measured for the window and are securely mounted to the top of the frame.

Blinds are a great option if you like to adjust the lighting of your space throughout the day. You can also manage the amount of privacy you’d like. Unlike shades, blinds can easily be cleaned and maintained with a microfiber cloth and all-purpose cleaner.

For shades, light-filtering fabric can allow a glowing amount of natural light while also keeping your window covered for complete privacy.

Creating Visual Interest

窗饰不仅是你家里的功能性功能，也是可爱的装饰添加!它们可以帮助营造空间的深度，给人一种更大房间的错觉。例如，你可以把窗帘或窗帘挂得比窗框高，让眼睛误以为天花板更高。

有纹理的窗户处理也可以创造空间的视觉趣味。你可以选择奢华的天鹅绒或绸缎风格来提升你的形象，也可以用更轻的亚麻布来增添泥土的气息。我们也喜欢在窗口区域使用流行的颜色。自然的阳光会照亮空间，吸引眼球。

However, if you’re having a tough time making a selection, go with a timeless style in a neutral color. For instance, faux wood blinds are very popular and versatile among many interior design preferences. Cream-colored curtains create an airy look that does not live within the borders of a particular aesthetic and can make your room appear larger.

Details like window treatments can make a big impact on your space. Curtains, blinds and other styles will help keep your space cool, private and stylish. Shop styles that fit your home and design preferences, and don’t forget to show us the final result!
