How to Choose Window Treatment Colors for Every Room
When purchasing new window treatments, you want to ensure they look fantastic. A significant factor in the appearance is the color you choose. Smart PNW is here to help you choose the right window treatment colors for every room.
Window Treatments Should Never Be Your First Purchase
If you’re designing a room from the ground up, purchasing curtains at the end of the process may be best. Deciding on furniture, paint, and flooring is much easier before curtains. Once these items are chosen, you can determine if you want your window treatments to be a focal point in the room or more subtle. From there, you can begin the process of choosing window treatment colors that fit in with your home.
Take a Cue from the Walls
When it comes to choosing window treatment colors in already-decorated rooms, you can use the color of the walls to help you select one for your shades or blinds. For clean, modern interiors, choose a color that is a shade lighter or darker than the walls. This will give the space a polished aesthetic. A no-fail way to ensure your window coverings blend well and make your windows look larger is to match the curtain color to the room's trim.
Match an Existing Feature
Do you have gorgeous flooring or cabinets? Choose blinds or shades that match the finish or color. You can also look to other items in the room, like accents or furniture, for inspiration. Fabric window coverings are a great way to complement throw pillows, carpet, or an upholstered piece of furniture.
Go For Contrast
Bring visual interest to a white room by choosing window treatment colors that are bright and vibrant. If you want to incorporate a bold pattern or color but don’t want it to overwhelm the space, try layering a neutral window treatment with it. A solid-color shade is the perfect way to balance a large-scale pattern on drapery.
Size of the Room
Using light colors to make a room appear larger is one of the oldest design tricks in the book. If your room is small or doesn’t get a lot of natural light, using window treatments in a light color or finish will make it feel more spacious. On the flip side, cavernous rooms will feel more home-like and inviting if you opt for dark colors on the windows.
When in Doubt, Consult a Professional
Investing in custom window treatments is not something to take lightly. If you’re unsure which colors will look best in a room in your home, a Smart PNW designer can help you make the right choice. We can also assist you with choosing the ideal style of window covering for a space.
