Colorful Window Treatments
How to add a glowing hue with curtains and drapes
There is so much to consider when selecting window treatments for a room. We may need privacy, light control or both, but don’t overlook the fact that curtains and shades can also add a welcome pop of color. Whether streamlined, luxurious or something in between, window treatments can give your room a polished look, as well as finish off a color scheme.
If you love color and pattern, then more is more! The window treatments in this room add to the bold and vibrant decor.
Tip: Don't limit your search for window treatments. Stores that cater to children and teens have a great selection of curtains and shades that can work in any room.
