35 Wonderful Window Treatment Ideas To Brighten Every Room In Your House

There's no better or more cost-effective way to refresh a room than with window treatments. Curtains are affordable, simple to hang, work in most rooms, and come in styles, colors, and prints that can transform a space. From vibrant options that create a stunning contrast to sheer varieties that give your room a more open and airy feel, it's never difficult to find a lovely complement to your home that matches your décor.

Personalized window treatments are also a viable option. It's exciting to create something suited to your style and space, from a simple cornice window treatment to a more complex upholstery panel that can be customized with paint, fabric, and trim. Light can be controlled, texture can be added, and your room's look can be transformed. However, if you're looking for something more substantial, consider a twist on a classic, such as roman shades. In addition to adding colors and patterns to your room, they are excellent at filtering the right amount of light while providing privacy. If you're in the mood to treat your windows, here are 35 ideas to get you started.
