Window Covering Ideas

Roman shades mounted above your window seat are an attractive and functional design idea for a window treatment. Roman shades with built-in black-out lining provide privacy at night. During the day, they fold up just enough to allow light into your window seat. For your shade, consider a bold and bright toile in a vibrant shade of raspberry. Toile hangs nicely and has beautiful texture and sheen. If you want a neutral shade, consider cotton twill. Twill is soft and has a wrinkle-free drape. Accessorize a simple twill with a bright ribbon down either side of the curtain.
Window seats beckon you on a rainy afternoon so consider a set of plush curtains. Velvet is not only an elegant material, but it's also cozy and very soft, ideal for an area where you read or take afternoon naps. Velvet comes in many colors, so you can match a set of curtains to your existing decor. Velvet also drapes down and envelops a window, creating a rich and cozy atmosphere.
To bring in the most amount of light to a seat window install a valance. Valances start at ceiling line and hang down a few feet, letting in a lot of light. Valances require little material and are simple to make yourself. The design of the valance can be coordinated with your bedspread and existing window treatments. You can also hang a set of curtains under the valance for a more formal design. Valances are easy to wash and can be made with any material.
Stained glass windows can become a piece of artwork on your windows. Insert one of the windows with stained glass in your favorite color and pattern. Stained glass comes in various colors and can be made into a design. Make sure the colors and patterns you choose coordinate with the rest of your home. For more privacy under your window seat, go for a darker shade of glass.
