WINDOW TREATMENTS 101 Part 2
By Stacey Riley
The two most important things to consider when selecting window treatments: function and style. Last time we covered function, today we focus on style—an opportunity to add a finishing touch to your design project. Window treatments are necessary for a room to feel complete.
Let’s talk fabric. Consider the room and whether it is formal or casual. When going formal, select a shinier fabric—like a silk/faux silk or sateen. You can also use a heavy weight fabric like velvet, flocked print or wool. When going casual—light weight matte fabrics are best, like cotton or linens. Sheers are also great. Pattern does not matter—any pattern can be dressed up or down depending on its fabric type.
