Aiming for Luxury: Combine Your Custom Curtains with Other Window Treatments

Layers play a pivotal role in the way you dress. Whether you’re preparing to face outdoor conditions or you want to add interest to an outfit, you might choose complementary pieces to put together a practical and attractive look. Similarly, layering window treatments can offer both functional and stylistic benefits. Here are a few tips on how to combine your custom curtains in Dallas with other window treatments to create give your home a truly luxurious feel.

Drapes and Sheers

Sheer curtains can give a room a breezy, airy appearance. They also let in lots of natural light, which makes them fantastic for common areas in your home where you need lots of illumination, such as the living room. However, there might be times when you want to save energy and increase your privacy, which is where a custom drapery in Dallas comes in.

You can purchase a double curtain rod to accommodate both heavy drapes and a set of sheers. By choosing complementary textures and patterns, you’ll achieve a multidimensional look that is a perfect reflection of your unique style.

Curtains and Valences

Valences are typically used to decorate smaller windows, like the one over the kitchen sink. However, they can also work with curtains to add extra visual interest to a room. They don’t even have to match the curtains exactly. For example, you can add a solid-colored valence to a patterned curtain or vice versa.

If romantic is the style you’re aiming for, a soft valence or window scarf might be ideal to pair with your curtains. On the other hand, if a rich, contemporary feel is your goal, a cornice board (a stiff, box-like treatment that also goes at the top of a window) could be perfect for your space.

Shades or Blinds with Curtains

Shades and blinds are treatments that are cut to fit a window’s unique dimensions. By themselves, they can make a space look modern and sleek. They’re also easy to maintain. However, if you want to add some extra drama or pizzazz to your space, choose curtains or drapes to work along with your blinds or shades. This might be an especially good option in rental homes that come with basic (perhaps even boring) white blinds.

You can even use your curtains to make a window look bigger. By hanging them well above the window frame and using a rod that extends well beyond the window’s borders, it’s easy to create the illusion of extra grandeur.
