The Art of Layering Your Window Treatments
Layering your window treatments can make your home feel warmer and more appealing. It’s also a way to make your space more unique to your personality.
At Geneva's Interiors, we can help you choose blinds, shutters, shades, and drapes near Federal Way, Washington. Our team put together this guide to help you understand the benefits of layering window treatments and what they bring to different spaces.
What Are Layered Window Treatments?
Layered window treatments combine at least two different coverings on the same windowpane, like shades and drapes or shutters and curtains. Generally, individuals choose to layer coverings for appearance and practicality reasons.
With layered window treatments, you can make your room feel visually cozier while increasing its privacy and light coming inside.
How to Layer Your Window Treatments
Here are a few ideas to help you begin your journey with the art of layering your window treatments:
Pairing Shades and Drapes
When you layer your shades and drapes, it adds crisp, eye-catching depth. Draperies also enhance contrast with the shade's texture and color. Even with a neutral color palette for both shades and drapes, you can select a subtle design that creates visual weight in the space.
This combination can also provide more light control. If your shades, like Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades, have a semi-sheer or semi-opaque fabric, with drapes, you can get a darker room that blocks others from seeing in. The additional fabric layers can also boost energy efficiency.
Coupling Shutters with Drapes
Hunter Douglas shutters, like Heritance® Wood Shutters, have a timeless elegance that's all their own, but drapery boosts the sophistication factor with its soft, alluring quality. Drapes can bring colors, bold patterns, or intriguing designs that pull the room together and improve the aesthetic.
Additionally, shutters with drapes provide outstanding light control because you can adjust the louvers for light or privacy and then adjust the drapery. When the drapery is open, you have unfiltered light, but you can soften the light by partially closing the louvers. Closing the shutters and drapes at night or during the day can improve darkness, create richer privacy, and improve sound absorption.
Combining Blinds with Drapes
When you layer wood or metal blinds with drapes, you soften their clean, straight appearance. Generally, homeowners enjoy this combination because it creates more depth. You can tie the drapery back, let it frame the window, or adjust it to cover part of the blinds.
Pairing blinds with drapes also boosts light control since you can shut one or both to adjust your home's privacy and natural light.
Layering Window Treatments Room by Room
Here are a few tips for layering window treatments for various rooms in your home:
- Bedrooms: Combining shades and drapes in your bedroom increases privacy, darkness, and sound absorption for a better night's sleep.
- Living Rooms: Layering shutters with drapes in the living room can create an elegant aesthetic and boost your home's light control, privacy, and energy savings.
- Home Offices: Pairing blinds with drapes produces a stylish aesthetic in a home office, reducing glare, obtaining privacy, and enjoying natural light.
