The Window Treatment Idea That Makes Any Basic Bedroom Look Stylish & Cohesive

If your bedroom is looking a bit lackluster, you'd be surprised what a good window treatment can do. Not only do they help reduce drafts, but window treatments can also make a bold statement in your bedroom décor. So, how do you go about creating a cohesive look with one? For a stylish window treatment idea that can give any boring bedroom an instant upgrade, match it with your headboard. 

From soft textures to colorful and decorative patterns, you can never go wrong with a statement headboard. Using that as the focal point, your headboard design can inspire the room's aesthetic and look of your window treatment. For example, match an eye-catching, animal print headboard with drapes of the same print and texture. Don't worry if you have a plain metal headboard — there are window treatment ideas that work with that, too.

A matching window treatment sounds nice, but what if you have a headboard made of wood or metal? If you're crafty, you can find soft and colorful fabric to reupholster wooden or metal headboards. Pair them with window curtains or drapes of the same material and color for a match made in heaven; you could even use excess material to make your own matching drapes. You could also use neutral-colored, natural fabrics like linen roller shades, along with other rustic décor, to create a cozy farmhouse bedroom style.

If you're having a hard time choosing the right type of window treatment, don't be afraid to layer. Window treatment entrepreneur Davina Ogilvie says layering is a great way to add softness and texture to a room (via Designer Today). For instance, you could have simple blinds to help screen natural light, but layered with luxurious drapery that mimics your headboard color and pattern. Just be sure to measure your window dimensions correctly. You could end up with the wrong-sized treatments, such as curtains too small for the window (a common mistake everyone makes when buying curtains).
