Best Soft Window Treatments for Your Favorite Room

The eclectic world of interior design allows everyone’s preferences and tastes to play out in the most eye-pleasing manner. Window treatments are also one of the features that can be experimented with to add texture, depth or give a more roomy feeling to any space. While there are plenty of window treatments to choose from, soft window treatments are perfect for Stamford’s sunny weather. The use of soft materials such as fabric and other textiles makes the room look homier while adding depth and character.

So, if you’re planning for a room makeover, consider these soft window treatments to accentuate the best parts of your room and home.

• Drapery. Drapes, or curtains for us common folk, are beautiful elements to add color, creating a casual or elegant look with the choice and print of the drape. Probably the most affordable window coverings, curtains are widely available in myriad shapes, materials, sizes, colors, and patterns. This allows you to play around using your imagination without worrying about stretching your budget, as you can easily change them every once in a while. 
• Sheer Curtains. A similar draping concept, but with more dreamy results, sheer curtains are window treatments that are made of translucent fabric. The sheerness of this window treatment provides a room with a complete natural light inflow giving the room a larger-than-life look. Although any color or print can be used as a curtain, this covering usually works with plain whites, creams, ivory, etc.
• Austrian Shades. Straight out of a Jane Austen novel, these shades are mainly a soft, often silken-printed fabric, cascading down in U-shaped gathers. Although very traditional and rare, these shades never fail to add the touch of luxury associated only with royalty.
• Valances. These are usually just decorative coverings as they only cover the top of a window. However, valances are an ideal option if you don’t want to hang another layer of fabric over your blinds or shades but wish to cover its headrail. When done correctly, valances add a layer of fabric over the covering, adding some texture and dimension to the room.
