Breathe New Life To Tired Looking Windows With Curtains and Blinds
Different approaches to window dressings creates a completely new look instantaneously and is a cost effect way to freshen up a room without having to completely redecorate.
Roller blinds in white are ideal if you don't have issues with privacy as they simply disappear when rolled to the top of a window, making the ideal window dressing if you have a beautiful view you don't want to lose. As they are available in a wide variety of different widths and lengths, which can easily be trimmed for a perfect fit, the humble roller blind is making its mark on modern and contemporary interiors. Large expanses of glass can be dressed with a series of identical roller blinds lowered to varying lengths to make a statement of your windows.
Café curtains are also seeing a revival as a chic and stylish way to dress kitchen windows when full length curtains are impractical. This style of window dressing is also perfect if you have a good view into you garden and beyond as they can be placed at different heights to suit your windows along with giving you control over the amount of privacy you need. The short versions are made of a single panel which is the width of the window, allowing a neat and tidy look which is easy to maintain as well as being very stylish. Rather than leave a window completely bare, modern interiors are using café style curtains at the top of the window rather than the bottom to create a homely, country look.
Bamboo blinds, which were once they main stay for studio apartments and rented accommodation, are being seen as an eco-friendly window dressing which can be used as the sole window dressing or used in conjunction with curtains to create a chic on-trend double layer effect at windows. For a more informal, yet stylish look Roman blinds made from lightweight wood-weave make a great alternative to a roller blind which complement natural floorboards and flooring to bring a room together perfectly with a natural warmth and beauty.
