Blinds and Shades Becoming Art

Many people move into a new home and just accept the window treatments that come with the home. Other people remodeled their homes 15 or 20 years ago and have recently started thinking that some updates or changes might be a good idea. Instead of just heading out and purchasing some more practical shades, why not consider making your window treatments into art. It's really not that hard. All it takes is a little knowledge and a little creativity and before you know it, blinds and shades have become the focal point of your room. Blinds and shades provide valuable services, such as cutting glare, reducing light, noise, offering privacy and increasing energy efficiency in a home. But they can be so much more that that. Blinds and shades can be fashionable, stylish and attractive.

If you're ready to update, set aside some time when you aren't too busy to take a look at the different styles, fabrics and colors available. If you already have a color scheme you are working with, that can help you narrow down your choices. If you're rushed, you may feel overwhelmed with the amount of choices available to you. The following are a few ways to change up your home and turn it into art.

Ideas for Turning Blinds and Shades Into Art:

1. If you want energy efficient blinds, but don't like the simple clean lines, then layer your blinds. One option is to use custom drapery. With so many lush fabrics to choose from, you can work with any style. Brass or stylized curtain holders will keep drapes open with a soft billowing look. Closed, they will provide an extra layer of energy efficiency and privacy.

2. Step away from your current color scheme and contrast your window blinds with a complimentary color from a color wheel. If your room is neutral, use your window treatments to add a bold splash of color and light. Roman Shades are a great option for this and come with a valance for a finished feel to the room.

3. If you like the look and feel of the South Pacific, then bamboo or woven wood blinds can be a dramatic focal point. Decorative window tapes can either incorporate a bit of color or pattern or they can frame the blinds. They protect the edges and can also be found in more neutral colors

4. Shutters are a great alternative to the standard window treatment. They work well in nautical themed homes or in rooms whose main color palette is blues, whites, yellows or greens.

5. Use the existing window trim as the frame for your masterpiece your views. You can paint the outside edge of the frame in a different color than the rest of the trim, pulling the eye to that area.

Window treatments don't just have to be plain and boring. They can be practical and beautiful at the same time. Because our eyes are drawn to light, windows are usually the first area we focus on in a room. Why not make sure the first impression someone has of your place is the best impression?

There are so many options to choose from, fabrics, styles, patters, weaves. There really is an option for every personal taste. Because you're living with window treatments, why not order something you like, something that makes you happy when you look at them?
