Choosing your window treatment is one of the most important
home décor decisions you will make. The
color alone can set the stage for your personal style and create an ambiance
that reflects you and your home better than anything else. Here are 5 tips for choosing the color of
your window treatments in Houston
Texas:
- Going Neutral Or Adding Color
- Choosing The Right Material For Your Decor
- Pattern or Solid
- Matching Your Accessories
- Creating A Cohesive Look
Going Neutral Or
Adding Color
Your choice of color will either cause people to focus on
your window treatments or focus elsewhere.
When choosing a color for your window treatments, you need to consider
what the purpose of the color will be.
Do you want to draw attention to your blinds, shades or shutters or do
you want them to blend in. If you choose
a popular, trendy color, will you enjoy the color a year or two down the
road? Sometimes trendy colors represent
the times and can become outdated. If you
like a more monochromatic
look, a neutral color will be a better choice.
Choose a color that closely matches your wall color or is slightly
darker. If you are decorating with
shutters or blinds, you can also match the window frame. This gives your window treatments a built in
look that is quite appealing.
Choosing The Right
Material For Your Décor
Product choice and material dictates the color options you
have. A faux wood shutter for example
comes in fewer color choices than a Roman shade. If you are interested in playing with color,
a soft window treatment like a shade or sheer is often the best choice. Hardwood blinds and shutters can be softened
up a bit with a custom drapery.
Pattern Or Solid
Many of our fabrics are offered in a variety of solid colors
and interesting patterns. You can choose
an eye-catching pattern to create a focal point or add color to your room. Large prints typically stand out more and can
provide that pop of color your looking for.
Smaller prints can create not only an interest of color but can also add
texture to your room. A rule of thumb
when choosing patterns over solids is to consider the rest of your furnishings. If your furniture is patterned or your room
appears busy, a solid color window treatment should be used. If your furniture is solid than a pattern
will work nicely. Choose a solid window
treatment if you’re going to add a custom drapery. Allow the drapery to carry the pattern and be
the focal point.
Matching Your
Accessories
Choosing a color is often easier than you realize. If you have colors in your room you like,
consider matching those colors. If
you’re really enjoying a particular color, you can use it on your window
treatments and then add touches of the same color in your accessories. Many people, for example, choose bold
colored, patterned or stripped pillows in their living room and then choose one
of the colors to repeat in their window treatments.
Creating A Cohesive
Look
Unless you are aiming for an eclectic style,
you will want to create a cohesive look with your window treatments. Your overall room dynamics and style is
defined with the window treatments and color you choose. Soft, loud or dynamic window treatments all
have an effect on the tone of the room.
When it comes to color choice, make sure the color you choose speaks the
way you want it to and enhances the overall theme or design of your room.
