ENHANCE YOUR HOME WITH WINDOW COVERS

Window coverings play a crucial role in shaping the ambiance of your home while offering both aesthetic appeal and functionality. As window designs evolve, window covering manufacturers face the challenge of creating new and innovative products to meet the demands of various window shapes and sizes.

​

For many new and custom-built homes, rounded or floor-to-ceiling windows have become common features. Homeowners with older properties often prioritize installing new windows, each requiring unique window coverings. Fortunately, the market now offers an extensive array of choices in terms of patterns, color schemes, and designs to cater to diverse preferences.

​

Drapery Options

​

As families increasingly view their homes as a retreat or sanctuary, a trend known as "cocooning," traditional drapery styles are making a comeback. Heavier fabrics and fuller drapes reminiscent of past eras are in vogue. Drapes featuring captivating patterns and bold colors are often paired with simple sheers or matching, lighter-weight balloon curtains.

​

Drapes can create a powerful style statement when complemented by color-coordinated or uniquely designed hooks and rods or tied back in innovative ways. The revival of tassels, made of cord or rope, is particularly popular with heavier fabrics, exuding an elegant and graceful appearance, especially in older homes with high ceilings.

​

Printed drapes with patterns that reflect the primary color of the room, along with a matching covered valance, can set the tone for the entire space, particularly when the same fabric is used to cover lampshades or as a wallpaper border.

Another sought-after look involves combining drapes tied back into a full swag with interior shutters, which works exceptionally well on bay windows with drapes used as side panels. Balloon-style window coverings, which gather at the top and swell out, can be used as valances or cover the entire window, adding warmth and elegance to the room.

Other Window Coverings

​

While balloons, blinds, and verticals have dominated the window covering market in recent years, they are now being replaced and upgraded. Verticals can be given a fresh appearance by pairing them with an interesting valance, while drapes can be added to blinds and blinds to balloons, creating new and appealing combinations.

Another versatile option suitable for any décor is the "shirred" curtain, a panel gathered on a rod both at the top and bottom. Frequently used on door windows, this style has gained popularity as a pretty and practical way to cover the lower half of a window.

​

With an array of window covering options available, including custom drapery, costs can vary significantly, especially when it comes to imported fabrics. While consulting an interior decorator can be helpful in finding the best fit for your décor, exploring the vast range of window coverings will ensure you find the perfect solution to enhance your home's beauty and functionality.
