Choosing Window Treatments for an Older Home
Although some people think options for older homes are limited, in fact, quite the opposite is true—whether your home was built in the early or mid-1900s, whether its style is mid-century modern or classic, you can find a variety of window treatments that will round out its interior look. At Bretz Interiors serving the greater Denver area, we carry the full line of Hunter Douglas window treatments, so we have just the style for you, including some of the options outlined below.
Wood Blinds and Shutters
Durable and sturdy, wood blinds and shutters hold a classic appeal. Their natural grain finishes, color variations, and textures add warmth and personality to a space, and they’re frequently used to complement wood flooring or stained wood trim that older homes often have. Choose Parkland® Wood Blinds to add luxury to your room. They come in over 50 colors in stains and paints that maintain their luster through the years. Everwood® Alternative Wood Blinds can bring the feeling of real wood into a home with the durability of composite materials—they are guaranteed to never fade, yellow, warp, or bow.
Roller Shades
Bringing a sleek minimalism to the room, roller shades offer clean lines that blend with nearly any décor. They can complement almost any room and are available in numerous colors, patterns, and textures. Designer Roller Shades offer smooth, flawless operation and minimal light gaps, and they come in nearly 400 colorways. Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades offer the simplicity of a roller shade combined with the energy efficiency of a cellular shade, which can help with homes that have older (leaky) windows. Their gentle curves offer visual interest, and they create softly diffused light throughout the room.
Roman Shades
Another classic treatment, Roman shades bring softness and tailored appeal to a room. They come in a variety of different folds, which can completely change the look and feel of the space. For example, Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are available in both full and flat folds, which allows you to make your room look more rounded or understated. With no exposed rear cords, these shades bring a clean elegance. For a more natural look, consider Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, which are made of woven grasses, reeds, woods, and bamboo. With their artisanal background, they offer organic style and texture.
Drapery
Whether you use it as a standalone window covering or to layer a window treatment that’s already on your window, drapery can set the mood and bring sophistication to your room. It can help your ceilings look taller and your windows look larger, and it can complement your home’s heritage with its style and hardware.
