How Window Treatments Affect The Room!

Is there a large picture window with a great view outside? Make it the focal point of the room.

If the windows are small it is better not to draw too much attention on them. Treat them by choosing coverings that tend to blend in with the decor.

If the window is very small and heat and direct sunlight are not too much of a problem, you can do away with any window treatment altogether.

If there is too much sun light filtering in, go for heavy curtains with dark-colored fabrics. They have a warm, enclosing quality that makes a room feel more intimate and cozy.

Lighter and semi-translucent fabrics are less formal in feeling and create an airy, breezy look.
