Window Treatment Tips - Playing Interior Decorator of Your Own Home

Ever heard of the game the sims? This game is where you can build and customize the design of your home.

Knowledge of art and colors are not needed to have a creative and sophisticated look. There are lots of designs and materials in designing your windows to consider when planning the best view for your home.

Many people need privacy in their own room.  It is recommended for them to use stained glass.  This glass provides privacy, hides horrible views, and adds beautiful design in your home. Moreover, custom design curtains and draperies emphasize the beauty of your room.


Great window treatments suit any occasion.  For example for formal occasions or classy rooms, curtains should only touch the floor.  On the other hand for romantic occasions like honeymoon, it is advised to use elegant, extra-long curtains that puddle on the floor. And lastly, in the kitchen it is best that curtains are on the sill, or to the bottom of the window trim.

There are different ways to have an instant window treatment.  One way is using the napkin tonner, you only need to  fold colorful dinner-size napkins in half on the diagonal and drape them, pointed side down, over a fat, stained or painted, wooden pole.  Another way is the faux balloon design.  Simply drape a rectangular tablecloth over a fat, decorated pole. Around six or more inches from one side of the pole, drape a long folded length of ribbon across the pole with loose ends hanging below the cloth. Next is gather the ribbon ends and pull them up until the cloth begins to swag, and then tie the ribbon into a bow. Repeat on the opposite side. The result looks like a balloon shade.

Another way to add cool look for your home is to choose the best curtains.  You can try researching Try matching five different patterns for a variety of choices to suit your mood.  You can do this by letting one large-scaled pattern dominate over one medium-scaled floral and another geometric, and toss in two small-scaled accent patterns (your choice of floral or geometric). Make sure the colors in the large-scaled pattern are repeated in all the others.

Texture is considered when choosing the best window treatment for your room for balance. For a hard, wood-filled space with few upholstered pieces, select soft, light colored curtain fabrics. In a carpeted room with plain drywall or plaster at the walls, consider wooden blinds or shades to add the warmth of natural wood tones. Or simply construct a blend of textures in a single window treatment to provide textural richness and depth.
