Curtains And Window Treatments Among Most Important Decorating Touches
When it comes to decorating your home, your selection of curtains and window treatments may be the most important decision you make. With so many choices of blinds, shades, draperies, curtains, and accessories, the possibilities are endless. No matter what color scheme or pattern you prefer, you can find many items to fit your plan and budget.
Draperies are typically heavier than curtains and mounted on traverse rods for drawstring opening and closing. You may buy them ready made or choose custom drapes for precise fit. Fully lined, insulated drapes can cut energy costs and make the room feel more comfortable by blocking drafts and light. They can also reduce dust and pollen levels in the home by helping to keep small particles from blowing in around the seals. Due to the heavier fabrics that are typically used and optional lining, drapes are more expensive than curtains.
Curtains may be used alone or as a second tier beneath drapes. You can find a variety of fabrics, from sheers to cotton prints. Full panel curtains usually run from just above the window to the floor. Tier curtains come in a variety of configurations, but the standard is two pieces. The top piece may contain a valance and swag. The bottom piece is a straight panel that begins about halfway down the window and ends around the window sill. Either piece can be mounted outside the sill or inside. Tier styles are most popular for kitchens and dining rooms, although they may be used in any room of the house.
Vertical blinds are a great option for patio doors or large windows. One drawstring will open and close the slats, while a second one will pull them back to the edge. You may choose from easy to clean vinyl or fabric covered blinds. Embossed metallic finishes are available for those you want a high-tech look. They block a lot of light when closed, and are used either alone or underneath drapes.
Venetian blinds are still available, although these wide slat models are more difficult to locate than the narrow slat mini-blinds. These familiar styles open, close, and can be pulled up from the bottom. Colors are limited, unless you choose to have them custom made.
Honeycomb or pleated shades have air pockets trapped between a top and bottom layer. Often made of linen, these help to reduce heating and cooling bills. Some styles can be lowered from the top as well as the bottom.
Roman shades are usually made of fabric. They are excellent for reducing light levels without blocking it completely. Those that are made of sheer materials allow limited view from inside out.
Valances are inserts that go at the center top of curtains or drapes, while swags hang down on each side. Scarves can be draped in many styles, but typically are arranged across the top and down the sides. Cornices are top treatments that stand out from the wall, and are usually reserved for formal window treatments.
No matter whether you want to create a cozy, country look or a posh, formal room, you can find many curtains and window treatments to suit. Various treatments can be combined in layered looks, or you can use, for example, a tier curtain for relaxed informality. Even after you have selected the basic elements, you will still find that there are endless combinations possible. Take your time to decide, measure carefully, and then reap the rewards of a job well done.

Tired of living in the dark? Normal roller shades, blinds, and curtains all block the outside light from the top of the window down forcing you to choose between privacy and light. Now you can have privacy and let light in at the same time, without changing your current window treatments! The revolutionary new Vari-View is a unique system that works with your existing roller shades, mini blinds, roman shades, cellular shades, curtains and more. Simply peel and stick the Vari-View clear track system into the windowpane and install your current brackets into the Vari-View system. The Vari-View is made of lexan, a strong clear plastic material that is very durable. Built into the panels are preset and measured brackets that hold a variety of window treatments. The system allows you to put the top of the shade or window covering at any height you desire, without compromising the operation of any of the other benefits of the shade. It is now possible to operate the shade from any position in the window. What does this mean? LIGHT! No more living in the dark with the shades pulled all the way down to the bottom of the windowpane. You can now enjoy sky views, gorgeous trees, and the way living in light effects your mood and the people you live with. Even your pets will no longer have to suffer in the house all day without light. You can live comfortably in your own home, with all of the privacy you need, and still enjoy the benefit of natural sunlight. Developed by an interior designer frustrated with the lack of options for window treatments on the first floor and garden levels of homes, the Vari-View was engineered for simple and convenient use. Two-sided tape lets you adjust the position of the Vari-View prior to screwing the track permanently into the window frame. Ergonomic clear round headed screws are left and right threading, making daily adjustments quick and easy. Clear strong lexicon works with every décor.
