How to Choose Window Treatment Color

Choosing a color for your window treatment can be difficult if you go into a shop or store unprepared. There are several factors to consider before making a decision. Windows can be a focal point in your room, and they should have special consideration in the decorating process. The colors of the walls, floors and furniture of your room are important as they directly relate to the color choices for your window coverings.

Things You'll Need

• Color swatches
• Paint chips from the colors of your room

Instructions

1. Gather swatches of the fabrics or paint chips from the walls and furniture in your room. If you have a camera, take photos of the room, especially near the window.

2. Take your photos, swatches and paint chips to a department or home improvement store. Look at the choices available and compare them to the colors from your room.

3. Ask for color swatches of the store's fabrics or blinds. Take at least four or five samples of colors that look nice with the colors of your room.

4. Take your store samples and swatches home. Tack the samples up around your window. Look them over and decide which ones you like best.
