We know that window coverings make a style statement in the home. What kind of statement are your blinds making? We often field questions from homeowners about how to match window treatments to the decor they have in their homes, and we couldn’t be happier about it! Creating a beautiful look is important, and the shades, shutters, blinds or drapes you select are a big part of the design. Check out our recent article about the top 5 decor styles we are seeing in homes right now.
The Modern Movement
When you want to match window treatments in a modern-styled home, think about choosing ones that embody a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. Neutral-toned roller shades, rolling romans and anything with clean lines. Modern window coverings are often cordless, with any and all hardware either concealed or designed without. Motorized blinds offer this streamlined look, responding to a tap, or simply on a schedule.
Timeless & Traditional
Classic charm and excellent light control…this is the essence of how to match window treatments to traditional decor. Fabrics are an important factor in this style statement, creating depth and layers. Timeless window coverings, such as roman shades, drapery and plantation shutters are a stunning statement for these homes.
Curated Contemporary
Contemporary style tends to utilize popular colors and shapes of the moment. While there are times this style statement aligns with another decor style, that can change over time as designers and homeowners alike find new elements. While it can seem “on trend” to some, as long as you love what you choose for your home, even as the design world evolves, it will still bring happiness to you.
Tailored Textures
There are a few home decor styles that favor eclectic elements and textured accents as part of the design. While the overall look of these styles–coastal, farmhouse, bohemian and rustic–incorporate specific markers of the styles, it’s easy to select window coverings. They invite warmth and texture. Woven shades are a perfect example of of the type of window treatment that would fit in with any of these decor style. That being said, each style might command a variation in weave, color and patterning, as well as additional layers that might fit in with other elements in the space to achieve the right look.
