Color Match Window Shades

Each room can have a certain character, defined by the color of the furniture, wall paintings or linens. Try to match the colors or compliment the room’s décor with the window shades, to give the room an unbeatable look.

Choose Window Shades that Pop Out

If you have a room that is otherwise poor in color, why not choose a vibrant color or a design that will pop out and cheer up the whole room? Make the window treatments the center focal point of the room to add character and appeal to an otherwise boring room in no time.

Use Unexpected Materials

The good thing about window treatments is that you can use almost anything you can think of to provide you with the character and look you are aiming for. They are also inexpensive, since you can up-cycle old items. Consider using roll-up maps for your home office or the kid’ s room, burlap for an earthy living room or even left-over wallpaper attached to a plain roller shade.
