It’s important to create a cohesive look in your home. Because window coverings are on the windows, they are often considered part of the art–continuing the statement over the windows on the wall. We have chosen a few defining features to help you match window treatments to the decor, based on the characteristics that are popular within specific styles. We recently wrote an article about the top 5 trending statements that might help you find inspiration.
Modern
Modern decor tends to incorporate neutral colors with a minimalist approach. Clean lines and sleek profiles are sought-after in this style. In this way, you’ll find neutral roller shades, or window treatments that stay close to the window. It’s common for modern decor styles to hide hardware for a clean aesthetic.
Traditional
Traditional decor is rooted in classic features that have stood the test of time. Traditional style invites color and pattern, when done in a refined sense. In this category, it is common to have window treatments with hardware that shows, along with simple embellishments, or extras that continue the style with fabrics and colors. Roman shades that gather are a good example of traditional decor.
Contemporary
When it comes to contemporary styling, it has a lot to do with what is currently popular in the design world. This can evolve over time, making it somewhat tricky to identify exactly what fits. This style statement highlights popular colors and patterns–those looks that are loved for a solid chunk of time, but may fall out of favor after a few years. When it comes to decorating your home, choose the contemporary decor that you love most–not because it’s popular with others. This will ensure you’ve surrounded yourself in design that appeals to you.
Farmhouse, Rustic, Coastal, Bohemian
These style statements feature a variety of decor accents that differentiate each statement from the others, but when it comes to window treatments, you’ll find that many of them are cross-category. What might set them apart are the specific color schemes that go with the home, or the patterns that are preferred. Woven shades are a popular choice for all four of these decor styles, with the intricate weaves and natural fibers creating variation in the stitching–the imperfection that is so endearing.
