Window Shades for the Bedroom
Since the average person spends
approximately 30% of his or her life sleeping, it is important to make
your bedroom a restful place. Therefore, it is a good idea to use soft
comfortable fabrics in your decor; this includes your window treatments.
You can enjoy a calm, peaceful retreat by enhancing the decor of your
room with beautiful window treatments. There are a myriad of choices
including chintz floral prints, beautiful silks in rich, vibrant colors
or damasks or satins. For a luxurious appearance, use ample fabrics that
provide fullness.
Fabric blinds are a nice choice for window treatments in your bedroom
because they can be decorated to suit your taste. You may use fringe,
pom-poms and ribbon to make your window treatments stand out.
Another factor to consider when selecting window treatments for your
bedroom, especially the master bedroom, are window treatments that will
provide you with optimum privacy. These may include black-out shades or
special horizontal shades that do not contain the route holes, which
enable light to pass through.
To achieve both privacy and beauty, you may layer your window
treatments; in fact, layer upon layer is a good technique to use in the
master bedroom. this technique will provide a look that is opulent and
distinctive. Consider balloon shades, tied-back draperies, swags or
cascades. For privacy, as well as a cozy look, use soft over-draperies
with layers of pleated or laminated shades underneath. Beautiful
valances or unique cornices will give the window treatments a soft,
finished appearance. You may coordinate these window treatments with
accent pillows, table skirts and other decorative items for an elegant
finish.
In order to create a soft and romantic theme, you may use plain sheers.
They will not only complement many different types of decor, but
depending on how they are used, they can project either a romantic or a
modern look.
Valances will soften the top of the window and keep the window
treatments from looking too bare. Fabric valances can be made to go with
nearly any type of decor.
Any of the above window treatments will provide you with a beautiful,
cozy room in which you will want to retreat after a long busy day.
