Using Window Coverings to Create A Focal Point In Your Home
When it comes to home decor, many people overlook the potential of their windows as a design element. However, these architectural features can become a focal point of any room with the right pieces in place. Not only can they add beauty and style, but they can also provide practical benefits such as light control and privacy.
Here at Appalachian Blind & Closet Co, our experienced team members are happy to help you learn more about how you can update your home.
Shutters
Adding charm and sophistication to any room, shutters are particularly useful in a range of spaces, such as your living room, dining room, or even your kitchen. Plus, as they come in a range of materials, colors, and styles, you can always find something that matches your existing color palette.
One of the most popular options is the Heritance® Hardwood Shutter, which is made from 100% real wood and is available in a range of finishes. For a more modern look, the NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters combine the beauty of wood with the durability of modern materials. Then, for hot and humid spaces, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters may be your perfect fit.
Each of these shutters comes in a wide range of colors, so it's easy to find a color that lends itself to a memorable style moment. This, of course, can go a long way in highlighting your windows and creating a focal point.
Drapery
Drapery is another great option for creating a focal point in your home, as they are available in a range of fabrics, patterns, and colors. The soft fabric will also add a touch of elegance to any room. Plus, they can be customized to fit any style.
Creating A Focal Point
Now that we've explored some of the options for window coverings let's talk about how to use them to create a focal point in your home. One of the simplest ways is to choose a bold color or pattern that stands out from the rest of the room. For example, if your walls are neutral, choosing a bright red or blue can make a world of difference.
Another option is to layer your Hunter Douglas window coverings. To do this, combine shades with drapery or shutters. This creates a textured look that upgrades the depth of the entire room.
Whatever option you choose, it's important to consider the overall style of your home. If you have a modern, minimalist aesthetic, you may want to choose clean, simple lines for your window coverings. On the other hand, if your home is more traditional, you may want to choose a more ornate style.
