Creative Window Treatment Ideas

Are you tired of the typical window treatment you see in the stores? Do you want to create your very own? This is possible. All you need is inspiration and pushing your creative buttons.

You can crochet a lace handkerchief and put it in between the panels. You can also glue it on the border and let it hang in the window. You can accentuate it by using textiles of paint. This alone can transform a plain white sheet into a well-designed curtain. You can paint on the rectangular shapes or start by stenciling simple designs like leaves in the middle of every rectangle.

Here’s another idea. You can make a table runner into a valance by simply attaching the wooden rings of the edges and hanging it onto a rod that is installed up above the curtain. Drape voile that is two times the length of a window on a curtain rod and then knot in front so that it will be casual and chic.

You can work on the traditional cafe curtains by cutting a wool blanket that fits the window. You can punch the grommet holes on the top of its edge. Then you can thread the picture wire into the holes from one side of the window to the other. There is a dual purpose by twisting the wire to funky knobs. It not only serves as a window treatment design. It also serves as a screw.

You can also craft the shutters in a unique way by focusing on the tin ceiling tiles and the wooden frames. The frames must fit the window niche then glued into the insets so that every inch is maximized.

Swag the windows with floral garlands, beading strands and silk roping when it’s spring. Use autumnal colors and silk leaves when it’s fall. Then invest in gold and silver trimmings in the winter to give you that festive feel. You can also use blue canvas curtains by tying them in a nautical roping that are mounted on boat cleats and attached on the wall.

You can also turn a tablecloth into a window treatment – especially if it is crocheted. You simply hang it on a rod and then shower curtain hooks into the holes. This will give your home a relaxed atmosphere. You can also build a cornice and then cover it up with a fabric that goes well with the drapes. You can put additional designs by cutting paper dolls, animals, fish or stars. This colorful array hung over the curtains go very well in children’s rooms.

For window coverings, there are so many to choose from. One is going through your shelves and pulling out something that you’ve stored away. You could use these without spending as much, only your time.

Keep in mind that window coverings are the room focal point and by subtly enhancing it, this will result to a scenic and great view. Windows are said to be the art in the space. There are other decorative enhancements that reveal your personal taste. Freedom in self-expression through window design sets the feeling and tone of your whole abode. This can also say something about your lifestyle which is pretty much visible for you and the people you welcome into your home.
