With the pace at which window treatment options are coming up every day, it’s a tough time for the homeowners to select the perfect window covering for their homes. Mix and match is a very popular trend these days. Can you mix and match everything from blinds and shutters to drapes and shades? Is it right to have different window treatments for different windows in the same room? Should every room in the home have the same window treatment to create cohesion?
There are no set rules for mix and match but you should be doing it with caution. There are certain tips that we are sharing here:
Layer with caution – layering two window treatments on one window is fine but be careful that they do not overpower each other. When done rightly, it can create a lot of interest and style while maintaining functionality. A sheer curtain with an opaque cellular shade is a winning combination. It will block light when required and excellent privacy control. Another way is to put some decoration over a window treatment like a shutter. You can change this decoration as per occasion or whenever you feel like it.
One room, one treatment – That’s the thumb rule. The same window treatment in a room creates cohesion and gives a streamlined look to the room. In modern homes with open floor plans; there it can be a challenge. This is where professional expert advice will come in handy.
Curb Appeal – Caution: Different treatments in different rooms or the same treatment in different rooms, there are no rules for it. However, many window experts believe that the same window treatment throughout the home gives a cohesive design feel and the home looks like an entity bringing everything together. A home with matching window treatment looks more appealing when viewed from the street.
