How to Refresh Your Window Treatments For the Holiday Season

It's the holiday season which means it might be time to refresh your window treatments. Changing your interior decorating and window treatments can perfectly usher in the new season. Of course, you might have some questions about window treatment refreshments. So today, the team at Budget Blinds is here with this quick guide on how to choose new window treatments for the season. 

Change Fabrics

Fabrics are a seasonal thing and should change as the weather changes. For example, cottons and linens are usually better fabrics for the warm springs and summers in Forsyth. When fall and winter roll around, you may want to switch to heavy fabrics. Thicker fabrics not only feel more “wintery,” but they also have a practical purpose in keeping your home insulated during the cold months. Fabric swaps also work well if you are redoing parts of your interior. 

New Patterns

An extremely simple way to refresh your window treatments is by changing the patterns of your window treatments. Think about the style of the rest of your home and choose patterns and designs that complement it. For example, simple, geometric patterns tend to go with modern designs, while more ornate and floral patterns can go well with a traditional style. 

Switch Colors

Color does a lot to set the mood of a room, and the color of your window treatment is no exception. Even a simple color change can make the new window treatments pop, making them stand out. If your home in Blue Eye currently incorporates lots of neutrals, tans, and browns, consider switching things up with a splash of bright coloring. 

Change Shutter Style

If you want to switch things up from blinds, do a shade change and try your hand with some shutters instead. Plantation shutters, for example, make an excellent change from fabric blinds and provide a beautiful and functional kind of window treatment. Plantation blinds also offer a different type of light control, which can come in handy as the seasons change in Branson. Other common blind designs include roller shades and Venetian blinds.

Change Hardware

Window blind hardware, such as rods and tassels, can fade over time and dull. Changing these hardware components can completely change the look of your windows. You can also update your window treatments from using a simple metal rod to something a bit more decorative, such as bulbs, swirling designs, and end leaves. 

Go Tall

Another way to switch up your window treatments is to change the width or height of the treatments. Changing the treatment orientation can make windows seem taller or shorter. For example, mount the curtain rod higher above the window to lengthen the treatment and create an illusion of height. You can also extend the rod on either end of the window to make the curtains seem wider. 

Add Seasonal Decorations

Sometimes, you don’t need to completely change your window treatments and can instead add winter and fall decor. For example, during the Christmas season in Brookline, you can add garlands to your curtain rods or affix wreaths on your window treatments. This small change can make your home seem more festive without having to invest in completely new window treatments.
