Decorating a space, you should think of everything, every detail, and a window treatment is among them. Window treatments can add interest, texture, height to the space, can highlight your color scheme or add color to the room, besides their main functions – blocking sunshine and keeping the space private. What window treatments to choose for your space to make it more stylish?
Screens
Outdoor treatments are a non-typical yet creative and working idea for any home. These are usually wooden slab or laser cut metal screens, folding or moving, for keeping the space private, safe and beautiful as they affect the exterior of the house. These screens can give a very contemporary or mid-century modern feel to your house depending on what you choose. The only disadvantage of such a solution is that you can’t easily remove them if you want to.

Shutters
Shutters, which come from old times, are still very actual and trendy now, and I’m speaking not only of vintage-style ones but of their modern versions.

They are very cool for styling your space, for adding interest and color and of course for keeping it more private, and they create a nice look in the room with delicate indirect light.

Shades/ Blinds
Window shades or blinds are perfect for window treatment, especially if you go for fabric that blocks UV light. If you don’t want to block too much light, prefer semi sheer blinds. There are many options, for each style and color scheme, and more traditional woven blinds are also great. Use them for farmhouse and rustic spaces, to highlight the style and add texture. Blinds have a whole bunch of advantages, and easy removing them is among them, besides, they can be paired up with other window treatments for achieving more privacy or a more eye-catchy look in the room.

Curtains
Probably the most common window covering, curtains provide privacy, block light, and act as an important part of decor in any room, to my mind, this is the best solution ever, even if you interior is ultra-minimalist, some curtains will soften the look and make it more welcoming. Light semi sheer curtains are on top right now as they give an airy and contemproary feel to the space but they block no UV rays and don’t give you privacy, this is more about style. Actually curtains can be made from virtually any material, come in endless pattern possibilities, and can make a space feel open and airy or quiet and dark, depending on the thickness of the material used. You may use several layers of window treatments with curtains, and roller blinds are the most frequent used ones. If you attach curtains right to the ceiling, your room will seem higher. So many advantages, take a look and get inspired!
