Are you having a refresh of your business premises or moving into a new home and struggling for ideas to dress your windows? We’ve put together a guide to styling and dressing windows both at home and in professional spaces, to help give you some ideas. Keep reading to find out more.
Shutters
Shutters have risen in popularity as a style choice in recent years- perhaps due to their versatility in suiting both city and country homes. They can partially cover windows over the lower half, so they are a great way to add privacy to windows without blocking out too much light. Most shutters can also feature adjustable slats to allow you to let in more light, so you don’t have to fold them away completely. Although most commonly seen in white, they can come in a range of colours. The beauty of shutters is that they add stylish design to both the inside and outside of a building, so although they may be pricier than other types of window coverings, you’re getting more for your money.
Styling Curtains
Curtains have the versatility of a range of different fabrics to choose from, as well as colours and patterns. They are a great option if you have particular styling in mind for your room and want your curtains to match. Just make sure you measure up so they don’t pool on the floor because they’re too long or come up short. For an extra high-quality feel, you could layer them up with clean, white voils underneath and slightly poking out. Choose stylish tiebacks for during the day to help your curtains look neat and tidy. Also, consider what kind of curtain pole you’ll use and whether it will match the curtains and room well.
Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds have the benefit of being able to be used in both homes and workplaces due to their neat, uniform style. They can be tucked away when not being used, and are also more practical and easier to keep clean than curtains. Cleaning curtains requires lugging the whole thing down from a curtain pole, washing, drying, then having to put them up again. Blinds can simply be dusted to remain clean. Think about the style and colours you want to have in your home or workplace to find the best vertical blinds for you. It’s also important to note that should your vertical blinds become damaged, you don’t always have to buy and completely new set. You can purchase vertical blind replacement slats for repairs.
Window Seats
Adding a window seat into a small window space or larger bay window is a beautiful way to dress a window, and help make a space more cosy- whilst also creating more seating spaces. If you create a hollow window seat, it can double up as a storage space. Accessorise with cushions and blankets that match your blinds or curtains and it will complement your window perfectly.
