When you walk into a room, do you feel like it might lack some “wow” factor? Is it missing some “oomph”? Solving that could be as easy as bringing some dimension to the window by layering drapes or side panels with your existing (or new) shades. At Bretz Interiors serving the greater Denver area, we can help you design a window that wows to create a space you’ll love. See below and be sure to contact one of our specialists for more information.
Steps to the Perfect Pair
First determine what the main, or base, window treatment will be, whether you’ll be getting a new one or keeping an existing treatment. If the room is smaller, consider treatments that present a clean look, and if it’s larger, think about more colorful, dramatic shades. And your room’s overall look matters too—if the space has bright colors, think about a more neutral shade, and if the room has lots of patterns, think about a simpler style for the treatment.
For a Contemporary Look
One way to achieve a modern-looking window is to pair the crisp lines of a honeycomb shade with side panels or drapes. Duette® Honeycomb Shades offer many benefits, such as energy efficiency and numerous pleat sizes and colors. If your honeycomb shade is a light or neutral color, you can complement it with a darker drape; if your honeycomb shade is solid, you could go with a drape in a pattern.
A Natural Element
A recent popular trend is to bring in a touch of nature to décor. If this is your goal, options like Provenance® Woven Wood Shades—which are made from woven grasses, reeds, and bamboo—could work well. The natural elements of the shade organically diffuse light and bring texture to the room. Pair woven woods with boldly colored or patterned drapes to complement their look and allow you full privacy and light control when you want it.
For Elegance and Sophistication
Timeless Vignette® Modern Roman Shades offer a number of styles and fold sizes that will bring depth and flair to your room. When you add side panels or drapery, you’ll see a reduction in any potential light gaps from the shade, and you’ll get a dramatic layer that will bring visual interest to the window.
