It's good to know how to go from basic and bare to super stylish with these tips on building
your window's wardrobe. A well-dressed window always looks more finished and designed, and
can also help control light, privacy, and temperature.
Start by selecting the right 'foundation' pieces- first a rod, then blinds, shades,
or even sheers. To perform a range of functions. They can completely block light, or just filter it.
They can improve energy efficiency, and of course they provide privacy.
Now add the next layer, the panels. Just like selecting clothes, consider your style. Feeling
formal? Look for fabrics with a silky feel, an elegant motif or sophisticated details.
Going more casual? Look for lighter weight linens and cottons. And don't be afraid to
mix patterns and textures too.
Of course no outfit's complete without the accessories. Do a decorative finial to elevate
a look or try adding a set of rings to your panels to really showcase a rod.
For a functional accessory, try tiebacks or metal holdbacks.
So make a style statement by learning to layer -- not just for looks - but for function too.
Your well dressed windows will be good to go, and that's good to know.
