Our top 5 suggestions for contemporary window treatments that you won’t get tired of! Keep reading to find out which one is right for you.
1. Drapery
- Drapery is a fantastic option that will never go out of style! This timeless look will feel warm and inviting in any space and the possibilities are endless!
- When selecting drapery fabrics, you have the option to choose sheer curtains, blackouts, something in between, or a combination with sheers! This allows you the freedom to change the look and feel of your room depending on the time of day.
- Drapery is an excellent way to incorporate colours, textures, and patterns into your home. A timeless and contemporary look can be achieved by selecting neutral tones for your drapery.
- Select contemporary hardware for rods, end caps, and rings in a more modern finish to complete the look.
2. Fabric Roman Shades
- Roman shades add a softness to your room. Select neutral tones and subtle patterns to achieve a contemporary look.
- Inside versus outside mount makes an impact! If you are going for a contemporary look then opt for an inside mount installation as it is timeless and will allow your window casing to be visible.
- A flat-style application is recommended for a more contemporary finished look.
- A pleated tail finish when closed is also a nice touch that brings a timeless feel to your home.
3. Roller Shades
- Roller shades have become increasingly popular over the last few years. They are a simple window covering option that most homeowners tend to go for.
- Roller shades offer a plainer look than drapes and fabric roman shades, making them a great option for a contemporary finish.
- They are available in lots of different colours, textures, and materials! They also offer flexibility in terms of light filtration, so homeowners can select the option that suits their needs.
- Cordless or motorized installation techniques are very popular when it comes to rollers.
- Timeless colours can be selected to complement your living space and home decor.
4. Wooden Shutters
- A classic in residential interior design and very popular amongst builders. These will never go out of style and will provide homeowners with a long-term solution for window treatments.
- We would suggest a white or light colour finish for a contemporary interior feel. This will also pair well with any home decor you may have.
5. Cellular Shades
- Variations of cellular shades have made their way into showrooms over the last few years.
- They are not as popular of choice among homeowners, but it largely depends on the room they are being installed in.
- They are a more cost-effective option that we feel provides a contemporary look to your living space.
- They are great because they come in different price points, materials, and colours.
- A great budget-friendly option for children’s rooms.
- Cordless applications are the most common with cellular shades. We would highly recommend these if you are on a tight budget!
