Window Treatment Do's & Don'ts | Interior Design Video Lecture | Interior Designing: A Basic Training - Self Help Learning

so window treatments are literally the
windows to the soul
in your home at least so when you're
thinking about your window treatments
some factors are material and also the
type of style that you want to use
material is is that let's say it gets
really cold in your house and you want
the window treatment to add as kind of a
barrier between the outside elements
inside so you want to stick to materials
that are like Velvets maybe Cotton's
brocade nubby materials that really add
warmth not only visually but also
insulation wise if you're not worried
about that and you have newer windows
and you want it light and airy then
maybe you go for the silks or you go for
synthetic silks that aren't real silts
because silk is really hard to maintain
if you get it wet it stains and it's
really temperamental so sometimes the
faux silks are really great and they
have a really nice hand to them texture
pay attention to that style is really
important so if you have an elongated
window treatment from ceiling to floor
it makes the eye look up and it makes
your ceilings appear taller but if you
want something that just keeps that out
of the way like in a kitchen over a
table and you don't want a lot of
material when there's food around make
sure that you have like maybe a Roman
shade or blind that kind of goes down
just to the base of the windowsill also
be aware of your patterns so big bold
pattern can make a room feel larger in a
sense a nice little tight knit pattern
is really pretty and it just fades away
to the back window treatments throughout
history has been known to really add the
added touch at the end of a decor of
your space make sure to pay attention to
it because it can really change the way
not only room feels but also the way a
room looks
