Trends in window treatments have changed considerably in recent years. The new model is "less is more." Gone are the ruffles of lace and the layers of rich gold cording, fringes and passimenterie. Today we want simplicity without all the frills – window treatments that are easy on the eyes and draw you to the window, rather than the symphony of detail that surrounds it. Even the more traditionally styled rooms have window treatments designed with less excess – clean lines without the fuss and elegance without the muss.
Creating an entirely new look for a room is as simple as adding a few subtle touches here and there to spice things up. One quick way to make a drab, boring room come to life is by adding a window treatment. There are literally hundreds of styles to choose from! The key is to start by picking out a style you really like. Here are some options.
Blank walls. Bland carpet. Ho-hum furniture. It’s easy to be unhappy in a plain room. Certain areas of a home ( like the bedroom or the kitchen, for example) have a greater calling to live up to than a hallway or powder room. Winning a ten grand home makeover contest would definitely bring a boring room up to snuff, but that isn’t necessary. A few accessories can change a space without any grunt work and minimal cost. Some accessories bring more to the table than others. Add a few or all of these things to a room, and you will begin to feel like you have your own interior designer.
Spring is in the air and it's the perfect time not only to do some spring cleaning but also to redo all or part of your house. Some people think that spring is all about “out with the old and in with the new,” but this season, more and more homeowners are doing the complete opposite!
