Create Your Own Look: How To Mix and Match Window Treatments

Window treatments can be the defining factor in a room. As such, they deserve careful consideration. Whether you are mixing and matching treatments between different rooms or within the same space, we’re here to help you along the way with tips and insights into mixing and matching window treatments. You’ll be able to confidently design your look around all things window treatments, from drapes and shades to curtains, blinds, and more.

Should all your window treatments match?

If you’re looking to create a cohesive look for your room, window treatments should be considered carefully.

A window treatment can add the finishing touches to an interior design, creating a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing environment. However, it’s important to consider the overall style in your room and how window treatments can complement it.

For example, consider the function of each window treatment and how it should match or contrast with the others. This will help you choose styles that work together and make a statement while still looking individualized and unique. You can also experiment with different combinations to find a unique look that fits your space and preferences. Overall, a well-chosen window treatment can help create a sense of harmony and balance in any room.

You Can Use Different Treatments In Separate Rooms – But Keep Curb Appeal In Mind

Unless you have a very unique room, it is common to use the same window treatments throughout the house. You might do this in order to maintain curb appeal– after all, homes with matching window treatments tend to look more uniform. But this is usually only important when dealing with street-facing windows.

There are many different types of window treatments available, and each can be tailored to serve a specific function or aesthetic. You can use different treatments in separate rooms. 

You should consider the combination of window treatments that best suits your style. This will help you create a harmonious environment that is bright and sunny while still providing shade and privacy when needed. You should think about how the various treatments will work together in terms of aesthetics and function. This will help you make decisions that balance your desired look with your budget and preferences.
