2014 Kitchen Window Treatments Ideas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="color: orange;"><b><i>By : Sarah Egge </i></b></span><br /><br /> In a room as functional as a kitchen, which is packed with metal appliances and wood cabinets, window treatments might be the only source of softness and embellishment in the entire space. Here are the four things you need to consider when choosing kitchen window treatments.<br /><br />Window treatments bring the pretty. In spaces outside the work core, such as breakfast nooks, none are better at this task than floor-length curtain panels, which offer big doses of color and pattern when they flank a large bay window or set of sliding doors. On a smaller scale, a swag of floral chintz draped over a single window can also make a bright statement. Roman and roller shades reveal texture and pattern when they are lowered, and stationary valances and cornices are like accent marks over windows you want to draw attention to. For the most decorative effect, choose fabrics that have eye-catching hues and designs, and have fun with trims, tassels, fringe, or bold banding to give the treatment a finished look.<br /><br />You might be tempted to forgo window treatments in your kitchen until you realize the neighbors can see straight into your breakfast nook. When you?re reading the Sunday paper wearing your favorite fluffy robe, this might be a problem. For temporary privacy issues, which occur only when you?re feeling shy in your PJs, consider quick-draw curtains, or blinds and shutters, which close at the tilt of a wand. For consistent privacy needs, look for screening materials that let you see out and allow some daylight to pass yet block views in; try cellular shades and roller shades made from translucent or woven materials, or try sheer fabric curtain panels. However, perform a quick check before choosing: Turn on the lights in the kitchen one night, then run across the street and see what you can see through the windows with the blinds or curtains drawn.<br /><br />Get inspired by this 2014 Kitchen Window Treatments Ideas from BHG . I hope that you will like and find it useful for you ...

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Pick the right treatments for your windows. Get to know the available options  valances, shades, panels and more  and how to best use each treatment with these easy tips <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Valances </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUsPmjmX7MLP_JcToKrqAcFlPLNNJFIQS3Kc4BBxeM0ufC1XxIriQF3IPbByANqjhQ5PcnZLxfkIXGIl7fmP2eco2l_URPmuvwKfnp9XNRAcOiKUUPRP8DNjAwUCxDctNGClxoZEznfYQ/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> A valance is a little bit of fabric that does a big job. It hangs across the top of a window, adding softness, color, and pattern to a hard architectural element. Purely decorative, a valance helps establish a room's style. At its most basic, a slip of fabric can be attached to a rod with clip rings. For more detail, add pinch pleats.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Simple Valances </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNRrrgg5lFwvyUng3pGkKlThJYx5aDepNGP83Yyh5lxe8i0jBhygY97DWPn-bQ22GMwdAMb_kcGK5Dk8Yo0XLq5hU_xq8K58Zp3CQA4nGTSyI0BoRl1yy-LTPy_LMtw6taLFyD3TrkfHU/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The simple valance is a casual treatment that works well for family areas such as the kitchen, breakfast room, and bathroom. In rooms where privacy isn't an issue, the valance can hang alone. When privacy is a concern, the valance easily pairs with a hard treatment, such as a blind, shade, or shutters.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Box-Pleated Valances </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDl6rjtNs9o2bv2obw2QDqt2BH0Ijrt4CkjLve_Y5OpFEQqkCZhrhrw1Njo0Rg3B9eS1z-6X_GoL7PLgtLUOCr0JxyKdKePg7w5DbN3Dph3czqOyMfmf6FN3idtOvTFAjicd2rYU4rnxw/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Those who appreciate a classic decorating style will fall in love with the box-pleated valance. This tailored treatment is a natural in rooms where you want a formal air, such as a living room, dining room, or master bedroom. The stationary treatment's crisp stitched pleats lie flat against a mounting board, which is typically attached to the wall with simple L-shape brackets.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The box-pleated design is easily duplicated on furnishings such as table coverings, slipcovers, or bed skirts to unify a room. Here, fabric-covered buttons accent the corner pleats on the table topper to mimic the valance. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Simple Swags </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyzUm7NKrmSnF_peekoKCyP3xhWxJiBbRcGhePQrtQ3B6YW1j5BTSZ8oePk1OwIHiPdeqOMG31ouh2B_282iJa7MWIePr5jbXAU5op5xcCvCtNA26wr7BS2cTKqis593p_yOyF1sSNLzM/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes a simply knotted scarf worn around the neck is the perfect accent for an outfit. A simple swag on a window dresses up a room the same way. A loosely slung fabric strip, unlined or lined, draped over a decorative rod or wound over a tieback at each top corner of a window frame can add an abundance of style. The middle of the fabric strip acts as a valance; the ends, whether cut into opposing diagonals or simply hemmed, softly hang down the sides of the window.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Swags can be made of luxurious fabrics to fit formal decor or dressed down in cottons befitting a cottage or country home. The beauty of this style is its simplicity, so it's most appropriate used alone on windows where privacy is not an issue.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Balloon Shades </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkfrAs6KnbGdIrXgW8smQetqMAyuZJBYDRXtKBLkA_yHRtD3i16j2mVjngvj_4nVI-ec9ACOd8YxFGkEREUDIhrRRd5H1AQKQsFQU6Jd7PFYdXAw92FtLbIUvCf3NawggqlgSER7t6x00/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For the ultimate romantic gesture, nothing beats a billowy balloon shade. This sumptuous fabric shade features cascading scallops that culminate in graceful, blousy folds along the bottom. Cords strung though rings on the back make the shade movable, and as the treatment is raised, the vertical gathers create dramatic poufs. Because this treatment usually remains raised, it acts as a valance more often than a shade. The amount of fabric used--at least twice the width of the window--creates the opulent look. Large designs can get lost in the multiple gathers, so opt for solid-color or small-pattern fabrics. Be aware, too, that the number of gathers, pleats, or scallops creates different looks within the balloon-shade and valance family. An Austrian shade, for example, has less shirring and is therefore more tailored than its cousin, the balloon shade. Because this window treatment is so showy, use it in small doses.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Tie-Up Shade </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_xI2JOPP-cfnHAbYCjQzVTrK896ZuyPQf1loqjLKQJ4LbQuJMWoz1w3bMObe6AhBhm7Xst-_HPFihGswMSRUXE48Qoh6uIibKQJDilQeXpN9OmchH1xvQA8PK3VbUNH5ilpERVFQv59A/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Simplicity is the name of the game with tie-up shades. Sometimes called a stagecoach-style shade, this economical treatment uses fabric in its most unconstructured form: It hangs flat from a rod or mounting board, then the bottom edge is hand-rolled or folded to the desired position. Fabric ties, ribbons, or cords hold the rolls or folds in place. Adjusting the shade requires untying and rerolling it by hand, making this treatment more decorative than functional. Consider using it where you're likely to leave the shade down to hide an unsightly view or open in a room where privacy or sunlight aren't issues.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Roman Shades </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAC64acBrgmkBU0v55VecaNe14pg4Y7Hb-ybLcQ6koSVf4QgPWjVp7Kv0eWEJ0EYl4P2Z8kW9d0EdVeZb8fetimvzBV4VjSbWeJWOu9MTisRm8Ayn4siY7u_X5qAn9K5d-_82FloUOyX8/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For the look of luxury without yards of flowing fabric, a Roman shade is a wise choice. When closed, the shade is a flat fabric panel. When raised, cascades of deep, horizontal folds are responsible for the tidy look. Cords strung through rings on the back of the fabric give the shade its mobility. Some Roman shades are made without dowels or lining, resulting in looser, puffier folds.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Roman Shade Tips </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmtZJdRalAbSaUrtb0a8LdbRR5k-c9U2NEOyL_f_2ha7SbX7eb50NT3GFkFNq3X4r9ssUqP1oaiiIpisVGZEe5DRzs1AR1BeXdwHs4xPeI3M8sG6a3Hygv3KYWqW6qKEd8JZBTAgMadO4/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A Roman shade can be mounted inside or outside a window frame. Though the shade is often used alone, it can be the practical layer combined with side panels or a valance. Appropriate almost anywhere, a Roman shade's level of formality is defined by fabric and trim choices. You could use plain muslin in a sunroom or toile in a master bedroom. Just be sure to choose fabric that can form handsome folds.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Cornices </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0h8dJR7CkN5jBeFZY0AXh_SU8c2JoAfFq4HOqiNjmt485XkZiClSjvGjlfPMIch-UM_dr-Qd-DOudBkc6M_wzZAbCcEjNdXpKluua2scsg0dCoxjQYCTha7Qzr90Ulco2YCkOFvys2nI/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Think of a cornice as a wood valance, it is typically made from plywood, assembled with wood screws and corner brackets, then painted or covered with wallpaper or fabric and mounted to the wall above a window. Like a valance, a cornice can appear alone or team with another treatment. Because it is usually made of wood, a cornice benefits from being paired with a soft treatment, such as a curtain or fabric shade, to temper its hard lines. These structural lines are especially effective in rooms that lack interesting architecture. They can camouflage a window's wimpy trim or bring interest to a room that doesn't have crown moldings. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Rod-Pocket Panels </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSZdx1kWLniy-YZ5JMI-mc9SFNEEPkFPZVdfLcMPVkUbMMk9A5rAx-H1gEhqIn9pFQJ0zCl2Qn5V02W9A9AeZLeowCFvcg0C_CMA42t542NcFgdYr6Ub_tBcfLJJBtXyZxcRnvobYr8i8/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Of the many ways to attach a drapery panel to a rod, few match the ease of the rod pocket. In this treatment, the curtain rod simply slips through a channel sewn into the panel's top edge. The tighter the fit, the more dramatic the shirring. For a ruffled header, sew a pocket a few inches down from the top edge; when the rod is pushed through, the fabric above it fans out to form a ruffle.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Rod Pocket Panels </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsFFiG8EaOLB3cxaz0JgEJ8ZbqoeAX7MIVW51wMQsI5mrixo4QaGBS6wSzXE2cWq0CE3ryhsqoWtWv5FjnyXuLtpHs5UN43vXYBUprFRDRWbKT3qIqTpQDZGtnixj3SrM5aGQry-t0FRM/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Rod-pocket panels are commonly made of lightweight fabrics and left unlined for a casual look. But don't overlook this style for more formal decor. For a sumptuous style statement, consider plush velvet panels shirred tightly on a substantial rod. Because panels don't slide easily on a rod, especially when tightly gathered, they're typically used in the closed position or held open with decorative tiebacks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Panels with Rings </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl_NiyTkcOqDsL__7NqRTi_aKNVvrhZFUOAWEahTHH9Tzs6bKr3ZrDk6l1ddfE7xsHAGyL9C7XLPn-dFj9KlPJS7F3xNdrmg-nMzxIcGISQRqCP_oZnC4l8stPld7gRJBZfQ72YCCIHMI/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Prickly metal hooks used to be standard fare for hanging draperies. Stuck into the back of a panel, the hardware was out of sight and out of mind. No more. Wood or metal rings that slide along a pole allow you to put hardware in a starring role, complementing virtually any style of drapery. Besides being fashionable, panels with rings are easy to open and close and offer an alternative to anyone who dislikes the cord-and-pulley system of traverse rods.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Tips for Using Panels with Rings </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQhuBWqYUEOnfMMDyhKWH2vxsboflLYYLVg88MFpKA8DH690rFEkxFOvKQg6txB6JueTMv6M4U5INttb26GcyAXxap_Tu4aghWZqnIBmarsm_-3rrl3QCjHGCOrsz0xRajowCadYIMz2E/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Think of rings, rods, brackets, and finials as a drapery's jewelry. Hardware with unusual shapes, eye catching colors, or high contrast will draw the eye up, focusing attention on the top of the panels, window, and ceiling. Large rings can be hand-tacked along a panel's top edge; small clip on rings are fine for suspending lightweight fabrics. Some rings open and can slip through buttonholes or grommets at the top of the panel.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Pleated Panels </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh194IvOOKq3u0i6GPHDGA1vcQrKoQ2UGLV-Cu06PUeYwQVwZMJaochgEX9ULPz2eZUAbE45cVKb-gf_RR1LVzMRBJiwLxBokEoajd9KqWeVnJr17sF_YIAREA_ToS4Kr_egGPLjxeaL1o/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In the world of window treatments, pleated drapery panels are the classics. They withstand the whims of window fashion, adding elegance and sophistication to any room. There are several styles of pleats, all of which are sewn into a panel's top edge to create a decorative header. Pleats are often formed with the help of header tape, which is available by the yard at fabrics stores. Sewn to the panel's back, the tape forms pleats when pulled. Hooks are then inserted into the tape and hung on rings, or more typically traverse rods, which have a cord-and-pulley system for opening and closing the panels.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Pleat Styles </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE2AQwVMZTCQgjolehc0K7_AMMvCxDI05B7rpT1Flg5bFMZCrKvk8JjGPO2VXX6T9NWBHr8lFPWVWKG97BZbyWgkxIdpIw_drHMC6iibEbNogEwCO47Ah73a3tZHnslUEcVqXCRaS61l8/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-15.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The most common pleat, the pinch pleat is a series of equally spaced single, double, or triple pleats that are pinched in the center, forming fans above and below the pinch.</div><div style="text-align: center;">A goblet pleat is similar to a triple-pinch pleat, except the pleating above the pinch is exaggerated with a stiffening card or paper to form a wineglass silhouette.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Pencil pleats are narrow single pleats formed in neat, tight folds.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Cartridge pleats are also single pleats, but they are spaced more widely and the tops rounded.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Tab-Top Panels </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmkPerXn5VEaOJ39YKp7QOJSNE2L-9m-jpTVAe0jmre7qUhAnGxHlvaLnahFvGnXbZ8eOR56-MstC0sSLqVP5BUGoolXxyAGJ0nEbMACveNxo6vw-3R-ocMXbqnhUiVirGdTvuu0WPysQ/s640/2014-Perfect-Window-Treatments-Styles-16.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The unpretentious look of tab-top panels makes them a natural for country and cottage decorating. There are many variations, but standard tabs are simply loops of fabric sewn into or onto the valance's top seam. The panel hangs relatively flat from these tabs, providing a good opportunity to showcase interesting fabric prints. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Because the curtain rod is visible between the tabs, you can add decorative rods and finials for more impact. To maintain the fuss free feel this style evokes, use cotton or linen fabrics in simple checks, stripes, plaids, or florals. These are usually stationary panels, because drawing them across the rod can be cumbersome.</div></div>

To create the curtain, purchase two sheer window panels. Cut the first into equal size squares. Lay the other panel on the floor. On the squares, pin opposite corners in the center of the square. Then lay the pinned pieces on the full panel in a pattern of your liking, overlapping the corners slightly. (We repeated an X shape to cover the lower portion of the sheer.) Hand sew centers at the pins.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioj7Rr5CqpUCcCpIFahzuYEwQYTeU_a71E-WjDOo5sM4XDJffmNfV50MtbRL4KP9EuVrFvMY2Sh5pbg3vsYpRuz3Qw-zxl1InZhjTSj1jGPkcQGqbt5BSECm18ZrKxYEJCuAWRVi27i6kn/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Flower Power :</span> </b>Take plain white curtains up a notch with a simple flower embellishment. To create the rosettes, trace around a 3-inch diameter drinking glass on the flower fabric. Repeat until you have five same-size circles per rosette. Cut out circles and fold into quarters. Hold all the quarter circles in your hand and stitch together with a needle and thread at the base of the flowers. Create the number of rosettes that you want and stitch them to a pair of curtain panels, alternating heights. Run a bead of fabric glue from the flower to the bottom of the curtain panel. Place a length of green yarn on the glue, wrapping it under the bottom edge of the panel and gluing to the back of the curtain. Cut leaf shapes from green cotton fabric and position next to the yarn. Sew a straight stitch down the center and around the edges to secure.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5MLTMl6XExIpWrktUx0sbHwaxtc8FC65El4b283qAmWSyJZ5w-ZIzkDFPxSQaP7C9preyNfL3yhX-7FPaPjP2_gxPxN_18fqtgAm91rcJXR7EpYiarITvgdrtMzNX8sI3zL4dXuPqTBiB/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">No-Sew Roman Shade :</span> </b>Made from a miniblind and midweight upholstery fabric, this Roman shade can be assembled in a matter of hours. First, lay the blind on your work surface with the front facing down. Set the length by adjusting the plug underneath the thick bottom slat according to the package instructions. Next, snip away only the strings that connect the slats on both sides. Maintain the slats at 7-inch intervals; snap off and remove the rest. Place the fabric facedown under the blind. Mark the fabric where it folds at the sides, top, and bottom of the slats. Remove the shade and press the fabric folds. Place the fabric under the shade, then glue the sides of the fabric to each slat and the top and bottom edges of the fabric to the top and bottom slats. Use clothespins to hold the fabric in place while it dries.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt6N4mb-4g_ogqobnNhZLg_L8E0nKqSKoc5VEjdHCFdA6lliLLFLoVex8J2dx3it1WSJimpBtLMk2c-LUCUoyW6gaDsOvD-93q_GIz8RG1QiCmxy-vIT0L4i2803dcrlrivulVQ8s-k3XZ/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Embroidered Inspiration : </span></b>Embroider a favorite saying or quote on curtains to make a fun statement. Measure the width of your panel. Cut kraft paper to that width, and write cursive words or letters on the paper in pencil. Trace the lettering with thick black marker on the paper, then tape the paper to the back of the curtain panel so the letters show through. Trace the words on the fabric using a 4b art pencil or white chalk. Following the lines, embroider a simple straight stitch using all five strands of embroidery floss.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpELOt-MudooZ0bHmsPCAqBdhPpM_zRf49q-wyPG3dadsXzUHRJD2cWpbnil7hE4xNYpaRleQhbUtJ37iai9bTl6S0XoJhigEJ9gv4dK4lQsY9UQCaOX76qSk7LN6LkzhnF81KH3kCQIlC/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Chevron Shade :</span> </b>Go geometric and paint a chevron design onto a plain shade. To make a chevron stripe, determine the center point of the fabric on the Roman shade, and position the pattern for pleasing symmetry. We allowed for 4-inch stripes. Use a plastic artist's triangle tool (or create your own triangle shape out of cardboard), and pencil to trace lines onto the shade. Use a straightedge to make sure the chevron stripes are level. Tape above and below the pencil line with painter's tape. Repeat for each stripe. Use a brush or roller to paint on fabric paint. Remove the painter's tape and install the shade once the paint is dry.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVmG587HnorVMF_T1FGQJhMEsfoTHqIrYDeO_brylMNsVhrxMdFIuVfbSHz3yZ51eiG3xUa_oi0YCUhfpCg6XU3aLL7nvhHVWX-PLkc-W_atHq4WHW-oQb23575MV-BVPa8YmFbpBp7iHT/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Embellished Bamboo Blinds :</span> </b>Off-the shelf bamboo blinds become a custom window treatment with ribbon and a little bit of glue gun action. We layered two different types of grosgrain ribbon on the edge of this blind. Glue the middle ribbon on first, then glue on the top and bottom ribbons, overlapping them slightly with the middle ribbon. For all ribbons, tuck the ends under the edge of the blind and secure to the back for a polished look.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgujp_ls0KM4KrLOlUq9jb6KmZn_m_j-gcpYfxHmnUU5WOxNuvHGefSD0bHHgTD1mICf33OXSeeRdf70N_wd1FQtGF8z-9PysDm-LC39KG1Zr0AF7PfajOog0c-ELWatC8zu7BEJiYhfNk6/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Fringed Cafe Curtain : </span></b>Set your windows apart with dyed linen strips. Start with sheer white linen and cut into strips. Divide the strips into four or five groups. You'll dye each group a different shade. We created five different colors using red and yellow crafts paint. Mix 1 tablespoon of crafts paint to 1 gallon of water and stir. Test the dye on a scrap of linen. Experiment with colors and saturation levels before you dye your final strips. Once you're happy with the color, plunge a length of fabric into the mixture. Remove and hang to dry. Repeat until you're satisfied with the mix of colors. Iron the dry fabric to set the color. Line up the strips in alternating colors, then tie to a curtain rod. Cut the fabric strips to the desired length. (These were cut short to create a cafe curtain.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9sE20m12xdVkzLbxRNt_-sibCQp0BXTeZ6RjVmmkSyome_0X1HERv5vlPGw15ELab5Zw_88Tu_sCAW3-lL-_2hJJQxWxc0tRAf6-mF2pu1eB7U6l9pUT4rOfUUlPY9EXSY2dLDXo0ldj4/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Lovely Lace : </span></b>Get a lush, feminine look on a budget with DIY curtain panels decked out in low cost doilies and lace remnants. To begin, cut sheer fabric into two panels to fit your window. Finish the edges with no-sew adhesive strips. In a bucket, mix fabric dye with water until the desired saturation is achieved, then dunk the doilies in the dye. Remove and let dry, then attach the doilies to the curtain panels in a random pattern using a hot-glue gun. For a cropped look, adhere a few doilies along the edge and trim accordingly. To finish, glue a lace remnant to the bottom of the curtain, leaving an inch or so extra on either side to fold over and finish the edges.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghHAutxIEuFnF4JjmBcK2s9hyXkoRRJPzZo_wnvI59W3XbrFknu5tFAkNzc_q6g2wB9UgR_wkXhMOyiM1aH2tZPRJIU_TguYiYz7EVSnFKPkR0kiKwt2rxQKFMcsSxp-76klpr02KHspMA/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Marbleized Curtains : </span></b>Create custom marbleized fabric that starts with a design you create on paper. Click the link below to learn how to marbleize paper and then upload your design to a fabric printing service (we used Spoonflower), order your fabric, and sew it into basic drapes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMHCy0lOgVuixsLVzAjbDcDQWQ74Ztfe9z5X1alzXwU-w-kYAdLzio6DQ70xD2AQN1au2uXyMJ9d_rZscuFzZPl7dB8iLDHWeiH1Z-HZkqnu5E59STbuSa457Ri8yyW7_FHin1auk4Y3Nw/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">From All Angles :</span> </b>Plain curtain panels require no more than stitched-on triangles in various hues of satin to become eye-catching. Select a few fabrics in coordinating colors and patterns. Cut out triangles in various sizes, and sew the shapes in a free-flowing pattern.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWJC5wPDynUtHaMY3005yn32XHZ364w_GTLh1HTraQ-8hmf4rZrr9sjqmzFUokck0y28OI7Zs-OWT-45nA-Xi-v_sqDYWG3r35RvIw-VuJjAHt23VWvS_T5z6MRo8aGoJCUNEzjDfCpRMk/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Patchwork Drapes :</span> </b>Put scraps to use as fresh window treatments. We used sheer scraps to create a soft, shimmery effect. Choose your fabrics, and plot out the pattern for the panels on grid paper to scale. By using grid paper, you can determine the dimensions of each fabric piece you'll be cutting. Label each section according to the fabric used. We used seven different sheers to get this effect. Cut fabric and pin together in rows. Stitch the pieces into rows, then stitch the rows together. Sew a rod pocket and the side and bottom edges to finish.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq933zYfiz3NRN4sCqlNnQg67_qKRBrQUkDlTAGargfrLQ2EHazKOW8_7DmlZcJ0JFMuA8T63_JGcLkbFIDUx7KDBqw3Vk3HFNrzN7YeqvL2HqS9c5eLqoDBzN7KZWRO0tHrfWa9idb05G/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Tea Towel Curtains : </span></b>To create these pretty cafe curtains, purchase two 16x24-inch tea towels. Install curtain rods at your desired height. Attach ring clips to the top of the tea towels to hang them from the rod. If the towels hang past the windowsill, measure the fabric, cut off the excess, and hem the towels using a sewing machine or fusible web and an iron.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO0UCxIRUejedNgcf_VwRGeYitHNGXdN5_AqnH_p_9V4SygEjKlIz4S888gbU28cv8XXyuxrghDEcqLImCY6nA2uvnsIyz0KgrQBYfOa4HHU9rQBaLZxfPbIuArMW5_XdhR7G1fAoiWWKL/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Dressed-Up Curtain Panels :</span> </b>A cottage style room would look amazing with windows dressed in these flirty curtain panels. Start with purchased panels and add the ruffle yourself.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6epDQKa1Pd2YU8Zrax56mx4FLHMSnt-pKlevsQ9ZB2X7tPCqggkL_sfPmXpjemrzCACa9T8wnmJRNuHL8bze-ZdBlJmQjlgbnkuat6SGpLY7RvwpRNLA_qGUfCVYsbx4j3u2XiNPqrU0H/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Accessorize with Tiebacks :</span> </b>For a simple update, give drapery panels a makeover with tiebacks. The easy to make tieback here adds a polished look and a splash of the room's yellow accent color to this window treatment.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIDT8FXehyphenhyphenzg1kY5n8Mctsl9skzQJXDzkkFvn4Pcc2vK0DTj-R8VBoLjG0SfZckun05TwP9yTghKKDd-1ylPe_qlwberI3gD-EQNUrZW4fMvXKrII3boTj45HAiP43aSBfiLvfW0tBk_dn/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-15.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Flowy and Fabulous :</span> </b>You can dress up purchased tab-top panels with a bit of trim attached to the edges. Or, get a similar look by making your own panels. You can buy yardage at a fabrics store, but you can also shop for table coverings or linens in the kitchen, bedding, and bath section of your local department store. There you will often find discounted or discontinued fabric items that you can cut up and use as yardage.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX8RhhzhfUNqmYTMkRxxCvvHerzxIK2u4XP1KUDatY3JA-fNF9QOnaxPCbCvw7Yp5w33EOeNuwfw8NyB9zctUfU4UnthZCdhYP0sjZytuCL_gjkWtp0fqgwBqM-cpZJzMFJnAgnQsE_ps4/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-16.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Simple Striped Draperies : </span></b>Striped draperies add interest to this mostly neutral dining room. Striped fabric like this is easy to sew, even for beginners, because the stripes provide straight-line guides. Affixing clip-on rings to the top of each panel ensures they remain easy to take down and clean.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNDiqaaT0Ijuajjk2omYXDxi18QL-A__uoWBYECM0TbXOVnp9gTweqc-RkoWgXAubz-KT4kBIuKBNjAAcZpNz0VeLpT-yz_h7sYV5-awuoU1SXEjggAnPL4qz2-mHBCK7VCEYFdIUDXYz2/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-17.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Ombre Drapes :</span> </b>Add waves of color to plain white panels by progressively dyeing with two colors of acrylic crafts paint. We paired deep blue and teal. Dip the damp fabric into a solution of 1 tablespoon crafts paint per 1 gallon of water. Add more paint to the mixture and dip the lower portions of the curtain repeatedly to achieve an intense color.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiubA5UWOF35YBdzIzfxj9le1ZzU89KkDe8XBvpLZLjly5uMoxi8VAZ2QTJXLqPQzmR8JrQNPXcweGlkIJs1QoYpMfDjmpbFqHf2ZYqvImMFmNvN4IhPGYZvKCn0lIjRb1vCIpfAZz0fjl9/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-18.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Tie-Up Valance :</span> </b>When curtain panels won't fit or simply aren't needed, use an easy sew valance like this one to add softness and color. Sew a rectangle to the window size, adding a rod pocket at the top. Stitch a length of wide ribbon on each end of the valance, 4-6 inches from the outer edge. Drape the ribbon over the top of the valance so there is a length of ribbon running down the back and the front of the valance. Stitch the ribbon into place and use each ribbon tail to tie up the fabric.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn3I7VYSs-VdA7gg75OT_R7Nqi6cdofbWsYIlp9kPtdDdfRqzGn6FJF64J7VGXk7UzfoigUS5e8KWFPhN_VCFNFEfxFesh2lFlpgUbhI2YZXYfDpT3e6Ms7oyPgp3xZaCj7jpzqg1JcVCi/s1600/2014-Fast-Easy-Window-Treatment-Projects-Ideas-19.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">DIY Ruffled Curtains :</span> </b>You can make these pretty curtains using solid color flat sheets. Cut each panel to twice the window width and 6 inches longer than the desired length. Sew a rod pocket along the top. Hem the panels to floor length. Make the ruffles by cutting strips of fabric twice the width of a panel by 4-1/2 inches tall, then sew a 1/2-inch hem. Sew a basting stitch along the raw edge. Gather the fabric to the width of the panel. Starting at the curtain's bottom hem, pin overlapping ruffles to the panel with hem side down, and stitch them into place. Attach the top ruffle upside down, right sides together, and flip over to hide the raw edge.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

The treatment adds dimension and soft draping to the silk panels, and the flat braid above and below the wide gray band contributes a polished finish, with lined panels that puddle slightly. Because the panels are fixed, natural woven shades do the practical work, discreetly controlling privacy and light.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUqxIfuKZDhSBCmjXVhb2CfXhXZmm_e9rt55j5fq-B9XDdf22HcO5tmA076J5HpTLlIXDuHPpMUF8aW4T0wPWgxkKZrzTMPaSBzl5ARlzHViwiFUD7HkSM0_CCvuLW67XhwETtfiPsqfM/s640/Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Traditional-Curtains-ideas-2012-4.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Formal Silk Drapes</span> </b></span></div><br />High ceilings give a space grandeur, but they also can make a room feel uncomfortably cavernous. To give the room more human-scale proportions, add crown molding and painted bands. Here, gold stripes and buttons accent the bands. Formal silk draperies with tightly smocked headers hang on gilded rods at window frame-level.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuEhlyCEggYTWYLcCxApDzbg1pA5ZNqXzyh4LzvmMYr58MWLy9IkgoK8yOCKixTRldaWsqBw5GJ1W7K20iVB-HVDW2Ok9AuVuWoqCwmVUmYxL_wLz6Ir5JCRzcMei1DdUbURwQWc4g9DM/s640/Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Traditional-Curtains-ideas-2012-3.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Valance and Drapery Panels</span> </b></span></div><br />A pretty, detailed window treatment adds a special welcome to a guest room. For a bedroom with an old-fashioned feel, a scalloped valance overlies drapery panels sewn from a novelty print with a green background.<br />The valance and drapery panels attach by rings to an iron rod featuring decorative finials. Greek-key trim stitched to the edges of the panels is an appropriate finishing touch that echoes the classical motifs of the fabric. Tasseled rope tiebacks gently hold the panels in place, creating a soft fullness that works with the romantic feel of the inviting room. Framed art flanks the window, completing the setting.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPgdpv78OeIfIUealDGqKq11-8Boj30Jc4sllGiMgdCTZkGO8XmEuZ3jAfq3k6jvVEMsjlY8KmREJavyU9J6Kvb1u6QnC5fMI86ySEFVI1iT5yz9y6CiU5oDdCWrtWHzeboddDihcIZ_k/s640/Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Traditional-Curtains-ideas-2012-12.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Bedroom Curtains in a Soft, Soothing Hue</span></b></span></div><br />The secret to an inviting guest room is a comfy bed, of course, but ambience matters, too. For a restful retreat, use a soft color throughout and include only one or two bold standouts in the decor. Here, soft green for pleated draperies, walls, furniture, and bedding wraps the room with serenity.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQaSkBZlyDZy3YCLeNTffchCY2ReNDwjHCTQCfUwWkXSR2sBGdBXay6Gu5aTKeMchSNJYNoGkcOxsR1_i_8CDFPKQsDJyGLxGssE5tF-jJtx6tL3jUBFIhdmlv-BF6McO1jO24jmcJxf8/s640/Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Traditional-Curtains-ideas-2012-11.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">White Drapery Panels</span></b></span></div><br />In a bedroom where toile sets the romantic scene, creamy white drapery panels edged in a flat braid enhance the color palette. The goblet-header drapery panels, sewn to white rings, slide easily on the painted white drapery rod. The exposed rod is often a fresher look than a fabric-covered rod or cornice. Simple touches, such as the flat braid, give a neatly finished look to drapery panels. Wood blinds behind the drapery are virtually invisible when pulled up, but block out the light when needed<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMSeG6XvWzRR-LaBMvh-c1sTKtqkMLQnIEwsVuVEhRgDCNzcIx1Q0Aobve8s3pSuKxwfWC5UfoeocrUOFC69NivfHUtmQCIoFnACv5uwtjTQYZGjI-XmmfK2RGZWHEU14GZxjara2jmiA/s640/Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Traditional-Curtains-ideas-2012-10.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Curtains with Complimentary Pattern</span></b></span></div><br />Fun rooms call for lighthearted walls and window treatments. In a home of classic good taste, this boys' room features a playful interpretation of traditional blue: horizontally striped painted wall finish and drapery panels fabricated from an inventive leaf-print fabric. The panels hang by fabric ties from the exposed rod—a treatment that won't be outgrown too quickly. The folded-fabric border is snappy, elevating a standard treatment into a classic accompaniment suitable for any age.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7WoSqm5ALbt3SlCPd25PoS-8QdTQeTBZia6_ETVBxKG3JHTW6hJoZYiWpIr7yQLdi_t5EGs-jOPDeRHC6xh941p0c9grc-v-KSGzAQmB4PtSim_gNVd69-ZfzrDsj6VBeB8RPzcO9ZWg/s640/Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Traditional-Curtains-ideas-2012-7.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Iron Curtain Rings</span></b></span></div><br />Getting the latest look has never been easier, thanks to innovative products in today's market. In this case, purchased curtain panels are accessorized with iron curtain rings that simply clip to the top of the curtain.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="533" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4RohzUU9pBauMVzH02GDYfjA7EkfBZfUCDOXwmZnMUzk-6R7fduHS_l2X_bE-virUmGZVmpZ2ug1vguGYLGIxpUI5eFqETPEivQvE8a049nkRBTIvVf3YBuaIgOeSJurcs0S7b3ikaPQ/s640/Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Traditional-Curtains-ideas-2012-8.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Contemporary Wool Curtains</span></b></span></div><br />A contemporary twist on classic American patchwork, wool fabric softens the modern style of a city bedroom. The operable panels—banded in off-white and sewn to chrome rings—slide easily on the unadorned chrome rod. The subtle difference between shades of gray and taupe wool play off the rich brown walls, the neatly tied linen headboard and the white bed linens. The chrome rod echoes that finish on the stylized floor lamp, while three narrow blinds meet the need for privacy.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiatNyhwDdPS3KVqjjxm1_20u8wd70LOoizyVehxPsEAAsG3HCi5cZjX5k0YI7EBCWGY3pPyFv9Pi4CRQIBYib5HtXllNECdyF_Hj7G3uIvytuCjX_l476OWxZtwFtJHgyrRgT9CEw8HMg/s640/Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Traditional-Curtains-ideas-2012-5.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Toile Curtains</span></b></span></div><br />With a slanted ceiling and one window, this 8x13-foot petite guest room in a seaside cottage posed more challenge than charm. To downplay its small size and odd shape, a simple toile pattern featuring seashells was wrapped around the walls and window. Indeed, homeowners hesitant to use a single pattern over and over should consider toile—it's one of the easiest patterns to master with success.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2INPa7HjG0qNnOWZAdVfhTkx3fWPXa2wmrjPECQyDSgz4eBCiizDgK7akuPpIx6_ZFOG7uF32o2IHZV7PjbqOfVkqOXFqv4Jk-f-ZEHSno8OZgpTrydqHlSMMwQEmDLxGHKdybDa3UMc/s640/Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Traditional-Curtains-ideas-2012-6.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">  </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Full-length Drapery Panels</span></b></span></div><br />Older homes often feature casement windows along the upper section of walls. To lengthen these windows and provide a colorful backdrop to the beds, full-length cotton drapery panels hang over the windows and extend around the corner to the other walls in the room.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBMmk0nLPxNdu0dJ3JBezRCOUFbeVn_1_Bd5RXo4JIK5KASuoXBtUZL2kDwKvXe0oMqLLtM6SXXA09a0_eT-WsNpqmBIsBhWZ8hkp7gruNfGqJVtR5qTFsrbvV2zzRvplcIkehyphenhyphenfLZFeA/s640/Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Traditional-Curtains-ideas-2012-2.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Tailored Drapes</span> </b></span></div><br />Drapery panels introduce subtle pattern and color in this master bedroom without overwhelming fabrication. Lined and interlined for warmth and graceful posture, the panels graze the neutral carpet; they are sewn rings for a traditional operable treatment<br />.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiLmxJRcWZWE9dBxYMiHrCJqINar0VeeA2n3bifQPXhmR73FXEvMdZb_iNMS0uIj9msEB7Lecidyd3v3kwKYMX36hR3Z-COXHOGa6Wa7YIWkavj4FAzqTYm52WchdhD2y6fPQ8vzsVo2w/s640/Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Traditional-Curtains-ideas-2012.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Striped Silk Curtains</span> </b></span></div><br />A stunning silk stripe unifies a guest room, appearing in the high-style window treatment and in the lining for the tie-on bed hangings. To dress the stately French windows, the silk stripe is fabricated into gathered balloon shades; it also hangs as side panels. The shapely finial and decorative rings contribute detailing to the effect. Silk fabric works equally well as the lining for the panels that define iron twin beds. Along with the Aubusson rug and oil portraits, classic fabrications ground the room in a feeling of continental luxury.
