Window Treatment for Small Rooms
Decorating a small is hard enough, but choosing window treatments for small rooms can be frustrating. The following are some tips and guide to help you choose the right window treatment.
Remember that windows are extension of the walls and cover a substantial decorating space. When decorating a small room, you have to decide if you want the room to look bigger or you want the room to be cozier. What you want the room to be will be the deciding factor in choosing the room window treatment.
If you want the room to look bigger, you have to keep the window treatments as simple as possible. Avoid layering the window treatments and make sure that all the curtains in the room are the same. Another way to make a small room look larger is to make the color of the window treatments closely match that of the walls. That way, they will blend with the walls instead of causing contrast. Contrast causes your eye to stop, and therefore makes a small space seem even smaller.
Blinds are perfect for making a room seem larger because they can be pulled totally clear of the window which will allow more light to enter the room. If you hang curtains, make sure when they are open they draw totally clear of the window for the same reason.
If you goal for the room is to make it cozy, you still have to make the window treatment simple so as not to overpower the whole room. However, adding texture, color or pattern in the room will make it more comfortable. Woven blinds, simple curtain panels or roller shades fused with a fabric from the room are great choices.
Although the choices can be limited in decorating a small room but with a few clever tips, you can still create a beautiful room.
