A Deep Dive Into Decorative Window Treatments

A crowning glory to any room can be the addition of window treatments. The endless options of shades and draperies make window treatments a wonderful custom addition where you can choose colors, patterns, and textures that reflect your personal style.

Ultimately, window treatments serve two purposes: utilitarian—to block light or provide privacy—and decorative, to bring in beauty and style. Today we’re focusing on our favorite and most requested types of window treatments: fabric window treatments. Fabric side panels are our most popular. With this type of window treatment, we guide you on fabric selection as well as the rods, rings, and style of drapery. Panels can be functional—wide enough to move and cover the window—or stationary for an elegant, framing effect. Either way, they add softness, color, and even sound absorption to the room. Timeless and classic, this is our number one requested treatment.

Faux Roman shades are stationary valances made to resemble Roman shades. They’re a beautiful solution where full drapery isn’t practical—like above a kitchen sink or in a bathroom. The tailored, layered draping adds softness and can even visually extend the height of a window. Cornice treatments are hard upholstered boards installed at the top of a window. They conceal hardware while adding structure and sophistication. These can be fully customized with fabric and shaped details and work beautifully alone or paired with panels underneath for added movement.
