Play with Texture and Pattern: Combining Hunter Douglas Window Treatments and Custom Drapery
Layering multiple window treatments gives your home a finished look and also improves energy efficiency. Hunter Douglas products are made with this in mind, offering a wide range of custom window coverings that pair well with their Design Studio™ Side Panels and Drapery. With hundreds of designer colors and fabrics, including some by the renowned Rebecca Atwood, you’re sure to find a combination to suit your home. Since decision-making can be daunting, here are some ideas from The Little Blind Shop to think about before you get started:
Take Into Consideration
Your Style
What style appeals to you most? Maybe you’re into the textural paradise of boho furnishings or the funky colors and clean lines of mid-century modern. Traditional turned woodworking and rich drapery can give your home an elegant appeal. Spend some time online (sites such as Pinterest and Houzz are great for ideas!) and explore the designs that make you happy. Not sure what you like best? Experiment by giving each of your rooms a different design identity. Hang breezy sheer curtains in the bedroom for a soft romantic effect and mix strong textures in the living room to give a boho vibe.
Functionality
Two important functional aspects to consider when deciding on the perfect window covering and drapery treatment for your room are lighting level and movement. Most window coverings come in a range from sheer to opaque. Blackout shades are ideal for bedrooms. Bathrooms are well-suited to an opaque bottom half and a sheer top to let the light in while maintaining privacy. In addition, some rooms need to be changeable throughout the day, such as a living room or home office. Take into account that not only do window coverings have different movement possibilities, stationary side panel curtains and fully adjustable curtains have different purposes as well; while side panels do block light leakage around the edge of your window covering, they emphasize a fixed, clean appearance over further room darkening.
3 Ways to Play
1. Combine a solid underlayer and a patterned drapery in a neutral palette
Patterns are a great way to bring energy into a space, but if strong patterns overwhelm you, stick to a neutral palette. The gentle cream and gray waves of drapery in pattern Collette Winding Path are sure to set off Vignette® Modern Roman Shades in colorway gray Cascade Shimmer while keeping the room calm, which is great for a restful bedroom design.
2. Choose a bold pattern and an accent color
On the other hand, if bold is more your style, play with stronger colors and patterns. That has never been easier than with Rebecca Atwood’s designer line for Hunter Douglas. Drapery in Rebecca Atwood Tree of Life in Taupe/Gray pairs a bold pattern against the bright pop of Solera® Soft Shades in Dilworth Jade to bring your living room to life.
3. Layer textures
Many popular design trends, including boho and Scandinavian, rely on keeping the color palette small and emphasizing texture instead.Pair Silhouette® Window Shadings in the fabric Nouveau™ Candied Coconut with side panel curtains in Celia Sunlight; the slightly coarse natural texture of the shades plays well with the satiny shimmer texture of the curtains while staying in a white and gold color set, perfect for a professional home office.
