Window Treatments for Your Small Space
More and more people today are downsizing their living space for economic and environmental reasons. You may think your window treatments options are very limited in a smaller space. We’re here to show you how to have gorgeous window coverings that maximize your available space.
Hang Them High and Wide
It seems counterintuitive to hang your window treatments higher and wider than the frame but hear us out. You won’t do yourself any favors by hanging your shades as close to the frame as possible. Hanging your curtains a few inches below the ceiling and a few inches past each side will make your windows appear larger. Your window coverings will also not take up space within the window when your shades are open. This is especially important if you have a great view you’d like to enjoy.
Sheerly Beautiful
Light colors reflect light which makes a space appear larger. Sheer shades also give your room an elegant yet airy feeling. If privacy is a concern, opt for Silhouette® Window Shadings or Pirouette® Window Shadings. Both of these styles have adjustable vanes, which allow you to enjoy natural light without compromising your privacy. Silhouette® shades are ideal for homes on busy streets as they feature two panels of sheer fabric. You can feel comfortable opening the vanes without feeling as though strangers are looking in at you. Heavy window treatments, such as traditional drapes, will make your room feel cramped and will take away from the little light you have.
Privacy in the Loo
Privacy is of the utmost importance in the bathroom. Cellular shades are a good solution as they come in various opacities and offer privacy. Choosing a roller shade in a bold print will draw the eye to the natural light, which makes a room feel bigger. You can also opt for Top-Down/Bottom-Up styles to enjoy ample amounts of both light and privacy.
Horizontal Highlights
Horizontal blinds are a fabulous choice for small spaces as they stack tightly at the headrail. Thinner slats will look more at home in a small room. You can also take advantage of the reflective properties of aluminum blinds. The Modern Precious Metals® Collection offers several slat sizes and finishes in matte, metallic, and pearlescent hues.
