Think of what’s outside your windows as a beautiful painting and the windows themselves as the frame. Both reflect the ambiance of your home, and if you need window treatments because your windows look out onto the beautiful North Shore of Boston, it’s important to choose the right ones! Whether your windows look out onto the water, trees, or perhaps a more urban view, the right window treatment can truly elevate those views.
Whether your home decor is already established or you are starting with a blank slate, the window treatment you choose for your home should flow with the rest of the style of each room. They play a big part in uniting a room! Not only do window treatments need to look pleasing to the eye but they must also be functional. Are you looking for a little bit of extra privacy? The right window treatment can help you achieve that. Do you have pets or small children in the home? These are some of the important factors you need to consider when deciding which window treatments are right for you.
There are so many possibilities when it comes to window treatments! At Reflective Designer, we are experts in not only window treatments but interior design as a whole. Here are a few options you might consider for your home.
1. Shutters
This classic style of window coverings is easy to operate and looks great in any room, from bathrooms and kitchens to bedrooms and living rooms. They can also help with insulation and are easy to clean.
2. Curtains
Depending on what you’re trying to achieve, curtains are a wonderful style choice and make a grand statement for a room. Paired with sheer drapes they can add lightness to a room, or they also come in blackout options for those that prefer a dark bedroom for sleeping.
3. Shades
This window treatment rolls up and down easily and adds some texture to a room. They can be made from artificial materials or natural ones like bamboo. These wonderful window treatments provide privacy when drawn and let the light in when open.
4. Layering
Consider layering drapes or curtains with shades or shutters for an elegant look in your home. The pairing of fabric textures with the more rugged texture of shades or shutters blocks out more light and creates more privacy while adding an element of interest to the design of a room.
We recognize that window treatments are part of a bigger picture of interior design and ensure all elements of the room work together. So if you are lucky enough to live on the North Shore of Boston, we can be your trusted advisor when it comes to your home. Decorating your home and making the right choices doesn’t have to be a stressful experience, in fact, it should be the opposite! Your home is your sanctuary and Reflective Designer can help you create your perfect space. Whether you already have a vision in mind or need some guidance, we are here to help!
