Modern Window Treatment Ideas For Your Tampa Home

By:


Go organic with wooden blinds and natural woven shades.

Wood is making a comeback in decorative hardware, according to Deb Barrett, trend specialist for Grace McNamara Inc., while bamboo, birch and maple are the materials of choice for the newest finials and pulls. Since there is a going green theme for 2010, giving your Tampa home a touch of natural materials like bamboo blinds and maple shades instantly updates your houses design.

Color it blue

One of the quickest ways to update a window is by using colorful treatments like curtains and draperies. The color blue will be huge this 2010. Shades of teal, aquamarine, and ocean blue on your curtains and drapes give a cool effect to the room. You can compliment this window treatment by coordinating it with the cushion covers and beddings. Be careful not to over do it. Splashes of blue here and there should do. Hunter Douglas has a wonderful line of colored, printed, and patterned curtains and drapes. Artistic Widows of Tampa holds Hunter Douglas products so you should give them a try.

Luxury fabrics are a staple

Fabrics like silks, velvets, damasks, fur, leather and suede will never go out of style. Linda Henry, editor-in-chief of Window Fashions magazine, says luxury fabrics of curtain and draperies should be mixed with sparkling crystal, beaded tassels and lavish embellishments on every element of the window hardware, trimmings and fabric. Youll instantly add a sophisticated look to your Tampa home.

A touch of velvet on your shades and blinds

According to one Tampa interior designer, grosgrain, a strong, closely woven ribbed fabric usually made of silk or rayon, is used as a ribbon detailing on blinds and draperies. Velvet banding can also be used as detailing, or as ladder tape to cover up route holes for string in blinds.

Classic shutter wont ever fail

Hardwood shutters will never be outdated as long as you keep its color fresh. Shutters for a Tampa home are important to regulate sunlight and extreme weather conditions. You can have a stylish yet fully functioning set of shutters by choosing between hardwood and poly-stain compound shutters that can withstand high heat and humidity.

Sleek silhouettes for chic-looking window treatments

Simple, sleek lines are all the rave of window fashions from flowing drapes to chrome decorative hardware. Creating sleek silhouettes against a window instantly lends a clean, modern look to any window and room. Instead of blinds, why not opt for solar shades? Solar shades absorb UV light and help regulate room temperature. Youll be on your way to having a modern and chic Tampa home in no time.

Bold prints and texture are in

The larger and bolder the prints on your window treatment, the better. Stripes and bold graphic designs instantly provide a statement to the whole interior design concept. Go for printed and textured curtains or shades.

Now that you have these tips, you can start updating your homes interior design starting from your window treatments. Artistic Windows can offer you an array of window treatment options for your updated and modern Tampa home.
