31 Window Treatment Ideas That Work for Any Room

Mindy Gayer

They say eyes are the window to the soul. If that's the case, we're inclined to believe that windows are the eyes of the home—and don't they deserve a little something to help them stand out?

Window treatments may be something of an after-thought for some, but it shouldn't be—after all, what has the potential to transform a space better than a breathtaking view, or a flood of mid-morning light? Not much. So naturally, the way you dress your windows matters.

Dialing into what a space needs from its window treatments isn't always easy. It combines a calculation of directional light that evolves throughout the day, the types of tasks that will take place in the room, and the level of formality required—but when the perfect solution is selected, it can really make any décor scheme sing.

For some of our favorite window treatment ideas to transform your home no matter the style, read on.

If you love pattern but worry about mixing and matching with your window treatments, just pay attention to scale. Mingling prints with different-sized repeats, like this wall treatment and dreamy shades combo, is an easy way to ensure your pattern mixing doesn't become overwhelming.

Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, which are spaces that prove patterns of the same scale can coexist peacefully. The water-droplet motif of this wallpaper is echoed—but not quite matched—by the concentric circles of these curtains. The photo-negative color scheme helps pull off the effect, creating a look that's bold but irresistible.

Bespoke Only

Clip-up curtain rings get an unnecessarily bad rap—but we're all in favor of reclaiming them. Not only do they make hanging, laundering, or swapping out window treatments easy as can be, but they lend a laid-back feel to your space—which is ideal if you're working with perfectly imperfect fabrics like linen or raw silk.

Another way to interplay floor-skimming curtains with sophisticated shades: match the materials with a unifying neutral hue to create a cohesive backdrop for your furnishings.

If you want to dial up the drama and add some stunning length to your room's focal points, there's no better way to exaggerate the profile of your windows than to dress them in full-length drapes.

Buck conventional wisdom and mount your curtain rod just below the ceiling or crown ding, and opt for curtains that skim the floor to create the effect of bigger windows.

Curtain tiebacks were big in past decades, and they're experiencing a resurgence. The new tiebacks of today are nothing like the ones you remember from the 90s. Using textural elements like artisan tassels in place of the more formal, fussy options of old, these tiebacks remind us that every accent in a room is an opportunity to add some unique texture and playful touch.

French doors deserve a little added drama, too. Gossamer sheers are the perfect complement to these chic portals—we can just picture the curtains blowing softly in the wind on a summer night.

One of our favorite ways to add a custom touch to window treatments is to incorporate some DIY texture in the form of unique trim. Picking the right curtains for your space can be tricky, and if you're fond of a certain fabric but looking for something a little more personalized, taking matters into your own hands can be just the ticket.

Shades, drapes, why not both? We're seeing more and more designers opt for this unique one-two punch in their designs lately—and it's easy to understand why. Shades lend a textural touch and offer as much privacy as homeowners desire, while floor-length drapes dial up the drama and frame the window beautifully.

The result is a mix of classic and modern, formal and casual, and it's tailor-made for today's homes.

Spaces with a rounded bay of windows can pose a challenge for window treatments, one that often is solved by placing curtain panels at either side. But, if full coverage is what you're after, you may need a more custom solution in the form of an arched curtain rod.

In terms of aesthetics and instant impact, there's no better option—and we'd be surprised if we didn't see this look gaining steam in the months to come.

Seagrass blinds are a great way to add a touch of tactile appeal to your space. They feel a little boho and beachy, but they're still tailored and trim enough to keep things looking crisp.

We love how these blinds mimic the wall treatment in this space with subtle horizontal variegations. Fitting them with an "inside mount" in these windows gives the architectural window trim a chance to really shine.

You can always match your shades to your draperies—but why not use these elements to add a little variation? These darker shades draw the eye upward toward the striking ceiling beams, while the mid-tone neutral drapes keep the space feeling airy and accessible.

We're big fans of frosted windows in the bath, but we have to admit that there's something oh-so-enticing about the warm glow given off by these shades. And with a view like this one, you wouldn't want to give it up.

Even the pattern-averse can get behind this brilliant dining space. If you've fastidiously chosen solid carpeting and furniture, fear not: window treatments are actually an ideal place to incorporate pattern.

Since they're easy to swap out with time, they're relatively low-risk to experiment with—and can even be prime real estate for testing out an unexpected accent color, like the terra cotta hue shown here.

Alternately, there's always something to be said for crisp, clean white drapes. Even in a predominantly neutral space like this one, long flowing swaths of white fabric lend an air of levity and a refreshing, airy vibe to the room.

Exposed brick can feel like a pattern in and of itself, especially if it's classic red-brown blocks with wide white mortar. But, that's no reason to shy away from patterns, as this space expertly shows.

A leafy tropical print adds some definite contrast to the red brick. It's an effect we wouldn't be certain of on paper, but in practice, it completely works—and we love it.

Raise your hand if you're in love with your wall color. When you find something that works, embrace it—and find ways to lean into it again and again in different applications.

Picking window treatments that are a near-match for your wall color is a sleek, sophisticated way to create a cohesive backdrop for your favorite furnishings. And as seen here, it can be both impactful and understated when done correctly.

Most shades will, by necessity, have a bit of a horizontal stripe pattern. It's subtle, but it's something you can play with as part of your design scheme if you know where to look. Use these barely-there stripes to your advantage.

In this space, they intersect with the vertical trim on this clean white accent wall, creating a little interplay that's mimicked again by the striped pillow and sleek shelving unit.

"Cafe curtains", or short curtains mounted halfway down the window, aren't just for your favorite coffee establishment. In the bath, they're a great alternative to a frosted window to allow for some privacy but also let the light in—and elsewhere in the home, they're equally handy.

We've finally found the answer to the classic "printed or sheer?" curtain conundrum: both. Sheer-printed curtains feel distinctly modern, even in timeless gingham as shown here. And best of all, since they seem to dissolve into the light of the window, they're an easy way to incorporate loud patterns, dark colors, or bold lines without overpowering a space.

Ashley Montgomery Design

We're big fans of the high-contrast look. The little touches make a room feel even more put together, so of course, we love these window treatments. The look combines black-painted window frames with gauzy, dusty nude curtains, finished with a chic tie-back, of course.

Do a double-take: these aren't multiple curtain rods situated at 90-degree angles. Instead, it's a single continuous rod that turns the corner—so you can nestle those dreamy drapes right in the corner when you want to let the light in. Pure brilliance.

A squiggle here, a straight line there—these window treatments are all about linear thinking. The drapes' spirographic design contrast nicely with the linear look of these shades.

In a neutral, airy space like this, color-blocked curtains strike just the right balance between bold and understated while quietly echoing the two-tone four-post bed.

Sometimes the best window treatment is the most unexpected one, like these trailing pothos plants adding a distinctly bohemian element to the gauzy sheers underneath.

In the context of this subdued, masculine sitting room, these intricately printed blinds are an unexpected choice—and that's just what we love about them. They draw the eye upward, mirroring the lines of the stunning vaulted ceiling.

Valences are a window treatment option that comes and goes throughout the years—but personally, we're firmly on the side of Team Valence. These structured, sophisticated window dressings lend a timeless architectural element to any space, and they're a great way to incorporate a print that wouldn't read as clearly on pleated drapes.

In this sleek bedroom, texture is king. So, it's no wonder the designer opted to add even more touchable detail to the window treatments. The airy, organic fabric is finished with a small pleat detail at the top—something we often see with more formal designs.

But, the kicker is this: the curtain panels are hung at a slight drop, with rings, which counteracts the formality of the gathered fabric. It's a bit of an aesthetic balancing act—but one that works beautifully in this context.

Sometimes, it's best to do what feels natural—like incorporating organic textures in this Scandi-meets-beachy space. The woven seagrass blinds add tons of visual interest to the space, without blocking too much light, thanks to their open-weave construction.

Often, a bold striped border on custom shades looks a bit preppy or coastal. But, this cozy, layered space is proof that the timeless design can work with a variety of aesthetics. In a sea of muted neutrals, the effect is chic and crisp, but not fussy.

The antidote to those expansive curtain rods that consume a whole room, these made-for-corners brackets are a clever option. The shades in this space are capable of providing all the coverage needed, so the drapes are purely decorative.

This is why it makes sense to cut the rods short and confine them to where the long drapes look best—the corners.

20 Beautiful Living Room Window Treatment Ideas for Instant Sophistication

100 BEST ideas and novelties in the photo

The final stage in the formation of an indescribable interior of any room is window decoration. The design of such decor is based on the general decision of the room. Fortunately, fashion does not stand still, but constantly makes adjustments to everyone's ideas. It is necessary to figure out which window design is by far the most relevant and affordable for a particular room of a house or apartment.

Varieties of curtains

Today, interior decoration tends towards simplification and democracy. The emphasis is on the use of natural fabrics and finishing materials. Many designers do welcome the unhindered flow of natural light into the room and prefer not to cover window openings with curtains or curtains. But such a solution is not acceptable for everyone, since the premises can be located on the sunny side of the building, on the first floor, etc.

Now there are such current trends in the design of window openings:

Roman blinds. These roll options harmoniously look in laconic interior solutions. Fringe and ruffles are missing here. The pattern and texture of the canvas is their main decoration. This option will protect the room from prying eyes and the penetration of sunlight.

Curtains with pelmet. Everything flows - everything changes... The former splendor of such decor loses momentum every year. Appearance becomes restrained, the density of folds and their number decreases. Based on them, you can create an extraordinary window decoration, hide small irregularities in the slopes.

Japanese curtains. When decorating large panoramic windows, such fabric screens will become indispensable. They are able to preserve the intimacy of the situation inside the room and at the same time the rays of the sun are perfectly able to illuminate the room. Curtains with eyelets. Such curtains have not lost their popularity and relevance for a long time. In the design of projects, they are ubiquitous in the design of any room, including the kitchen. And all this is due to the ease of movement and aesthetics of the solution.

Blinds. To date, the choice of this decor is simply incredible - plastic, metal, fabric, wooden blinds. Thanks to their versatility, they fit perfectly into minimalist and classic modern interiors.

The described options can be easily implemented in any house or apartment. You just need to familiarize yourself with some aspects of window design, depending on the purpose of the room.

Window decoration in the living room

Increasingly, gray is used in the design of modern living rooms. Many different moods and ideas can bring different shades of this color into the room. You just need to choose the right intensity of tone and the room will sparkle with notes of neutral tranquility, bright minimalism, sophisticated aristocratic luxury.

If the decoration of the ceiling, walls, furniture upholstery are made in a single-color light scale, then it is on the window that the main emphasis should be placed. A three-dimensional pattern on darker curtains is sure to attract the eye.

A good option in a modern style for window decoration are curtains made of dense fabric, and they are complemented by airy snow-white tulle. For admirers of traditional design, this will be a worthy solution without much eccentricity and pretentiousness.

The location of the TV must also be considered. If it is installed opposite the window, then the light falling on it should not leave glare. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the density of the selected curtain fabric. The same applies to rooms located on the first floors of buildings.

The window can be left completely open or only a transparent tulle can be hung if the living room is designed in a loft style. Blinds or roller blinds will look great here.

Window decoration in the bedroom

The most important purpose of curtains in the bedroom is to provide comfortable sleep and rest. Whatever the curtains are, the fabric from which they are made must be light-tight and dense. And then the curtains can provide a comfortable stay, creating twilight, even in the daytime.

Roman curtains can be safely chosen for bedrooms where there is a small window. The rays of the sun will not be able to penetrate into the bedroom through the rolled canvas, and the curtains will retain the mystery of the created interior solution.

When designing a window opening in the bedroom, the textiles are chosen the same as on the bed. This is a popular design technique that recreates a complete, harmonious picture. Curtains can be sewn from the same material as the upholstered headboard. It is not necessary to use tulle in the bedroom, its purpose is purely aesthetic.

A bedroom with a bay window is a difficult option to implement. In this zone, you can place rolled canvases or blinds, and the room is decorated with curtains that have darker shades.

Screen cloths will look aesthetically and advantageously in semicircular rooms. The material is better to use translucent.

Window decoration in the kitchen

Given the specifics of this room, you should pay attention to the fact that the selected material is easy to clean.

Light and practical curtains made of the following materials will be appropriate here:

• cotton;
• chintz;
• nylon;
• organza;
• capron.

Ruffles, lush draperies should be abandoned, since even the most modern and reliable hood cannot protect against the accumulation of kitchen odors and soot settling.

Curtains in small polka dots or flowers will be the best option for a country-style kitchen. With the help of magnets or tacks, they are fixed on the sides of the window. It is permissible to limit ourselves to tulle only, but it is necessary to choose a dense pattern.

When choosing curtains, the type of window is of great importance - whether there is a balcony door or not, a panoramic window or an ordinary one. A romantic, light atmosphere can be created with snow-white tulle, which has an ornate pattern.

Blinds or Roman blinds can be recommended to lovers of high-tech and minimalist styles. Laconic organza curtains will be appreciated by lovers of classic solutions.
