Your Windows: Dress in Layers

Perhaps you have heard the expression,”There’s no such thing as too much of a fantastic thing?” I can’t say the expression holds true in most scenarios, but this ideabook proves this declaration to be true at least when it comes to window coverings.

Layered window treatments offer the advantages of insulation, light filtering and privacy. They add depth and dimension to your room’s decor. Can you groom your rooms? Listed below are 8 examples of why you need to give it a try.

It’s often difficult and costly to control temperature and light in two-story rooms. While the drapery appears to be made for style, the roman color filters the total amount of sunlight to the space and provides a layer of privacy.

Depth is provided by roller shades together with panels to your window dressing, without the majority. Keep this tip in mind especially in the event that you’ve got big windows in a little room.

1 layer of window treatments can be very costly especially if they’re custom made. Get the look you need, but pace yourself. You could always buy the first layer, then when your budget allows, put in the second.
