Window Treatments

Many people underestimate the importance of window treatments, and they focus mainly on wall coverings, furnishings, and accessories. A room can be complete with the finest of furnishings and decorated to the hilt, but if the window treatments are drab and unattractive, the home as well as the room won't be nearly as impressive. Make a design statement by adorning your windows with drapery, panels, valances, and curtains that will make a real impact, and consider the following window treatments for your home.

Pin-Tucked Panels

For a formal room, consider choosing pin-tucked panels topped by an ascot valance. Pin-tucked panels are very stylish and elegant window treatments that really make a statement, and when topped with an ascot valance they're very impressive. Alternately, complete the look with a beautiful scarf valance for rich looking window treatments that will add subtle texture and sophistication to any room.

Pinch-Pleated Drapes

Pinch-pleated drapes are classic window treatments that are appropriate for any room, and there are many patterns and textures to choose from. Pair them with soft sheers and your windows will look formally dressed as they allow filtered light to subtly penetrate and create a soft glow. In addition, consider topping pinch-pleated drapes with a graceful waterfall valance for a rich look that's easy to achieve and exceptionally beautiful in appearance.

Tab-Top Panels

If you want a contemporary look that's simple, make a statement in your home with tab-top drapery panels. Hang these impressive window treatments on decorative rods over a graceful roman shade for a look that's full of impact. Complete the look with a tab-top insert valance or a gracefully flowing scarf valance. You'll turn simple window treatments into extraordinary works of art that are worthy of any home décor magazine.
