Enhance your home with stylish window décor using these top tips, from selecting the perfect curtains to incorporating blinds and shades for a polished look.

As eyes may be windows to the soul, a house’s windows add character and personality to any home and therefore suitable and unique window décor is a must to complete your interior design. Here are some top tips to enhance your home with window décor that is sure to attract compliments. 

Ceiling to Floor Curtains 

An easy designer tip to upscale your interior décor is to install the curtain railings a little higher than usual. Even if your window is smaller, this is still a trick you can use to give that luxurious, old money feel in any space. The curtains or drapes do not need to be anything fancy and fabrics like velvet give a luxe feel without the heavy price tag. Use retro colors like beige, light gold or cream to further enhance the space. If you do have larger windows you can opt for lighter fabrics to make the most of any available natural light during the day. 

The Simplicity of Bamboo 

Bamboo blinds are usually associated with homes on the coast or Japanese interior design styles but they can be incredibly impactful, simple and beautiful. They can be rolled up and down to let in light when needed and they provide privacy when rolled down. The design application is multi-faceted as they work well in modern homes as well as in rustic, traditional designs. They also weigh less which makes them easy to hang up and handle. Many designers like to pair bamboo or wooden blinds with retro furniture and an abundance of real-wood pieces. 

Using Ombre To Reflect Diverse Color Palettes

When you are putting together your interior design you will choose furniture, rugs, décor pieces and the works and your windows should blend in with those color choices seamlessly. If you want multiple tones reflected in your window décor, consider using the magic of ombre dyed curtains to reflect color changes beautifully. 

One Pattern To Win Over Them All 

Using the classic French technique of repeating patterns in your living spaces. Your curtains or drapes can be made in the same pattern as different features in your room such as the headboard, ceiling or wallpaper. When homes are built by custom home builders they tend to be rich in colors, textures, personalized and creative design additions and so forth and the window décor should be no exception. Using one pattern all over makes a space look more designer with a Parisian upscale touch. 

Floral, Vintage, Traditional & Homely 

A lot of us grew up seeing traditional floral patterns in homes like a grandparent’s house for example. Florals may seem old-fashioned but they have been making a comeback for many years now. New age florals with bright, vibrant and enticing colors and patterns are an ode to the past and a rejuvenating chapter for the present. Floral window décor can be paired with vintage furnishings, warm colors like amber and burgundy or even paired with abstract photography or art for a more modern touch. 

Fabric Shades 

Do not underestimate the power and beauty of plain fabric shades as you can do a lot with them if you are into artsy pursuits. Plain roman shades can be painted with patterns at home to add a unique aesthetic to your space and roller shades are another cost-effective option for apartments and small homes. Fabric shades can be washed and kept clean more easily than conventional curtains and if they are painted in different colors and patterns, they can be a real sight to behold. 

Bright & Beautiful

Using a solid color for curtains makes a bold statement especially with dazzling colors like teal, turquoise, burgundy, maroon or rose pink. Subsequently, it is effortless to find décor pieces to match that bright pop of color in the room. Use a light, flowy fabric like silk, velvet, cotton or linen for best effects. 

Conclusion

Windows are a beautiful and impactful part of any home and paying attention regarding how to make them unique and stunning can add to the value and comfort of your space. Interior design is all about how the individual elements in a room or home connect to each other and incorporating windows into this seamless vision is always important.
