Bold Fabrics For Accent Windows

Homes designed around comfort  of fabric is a major factor in any window treatment. The type of fabric used will determine how the treatment will perform (ie – block out light, let it in, etc.) and will also affect how the fabric holds up over time. The best fabrics for window treatments are those that drape well and hold up to repeated exposure to sunlight, such as linen, silk or velvet. It’s important to keep in mind that fabric dries differently in various environments and that some fabrics fade faster than others.

Using bold florals and other patterned fabrics in your home is a fun way to introduce color to your space. When paired with the right window treatment rules, incorporating these types of dramatic drapes into your room is easy and elegant.

While not as easily swapped out as a decorative pillow, a set of curtains or panels is still a great way to refresh your space seasonally or add a bit of flair to any room. From coordinating accents like lovely finials and curtain rods to constructing a story around your window, there are many creative ways to dress up your windows in rich and beautiful fabrics.
