Canopy of Curtains

Held to the side with fabric ties, pleated floor-length drapes create a canopy effect in the master bedroom.

Short Shutters

Turn-of-the-century furnishings include painted half shutters across the bottom of the windows and a swag of striped fabric across the top.

Consider Curtain Lining

Line curtains with thick, dark fabric to cut down on glare in naturally bright rooms. Lining also helps protect drapes from dust and color fading.

Unifying Design

Yellow and blue toile covers French doors in the dining room and windows in the kitchen, unifying the two separate spaces.

Lace Garland

Instead of full window treatments, string a lace border along kitchen windows. It will let more light into a dark room and add vintage charm.

Vintage Shutters

Vintage louvered shutters replace curtains or blinds, making the window a focal point in the red-and-white dining room.

Bay Window

Red print fabric hangs artfully in front of this kitchen’s small bay window.

Double Treatment

Sometimes two window treatments are better than one. A swag of red-and-white gingham hangs over white hinged Colonial shutters.

Single Pattern

In this small guest room, a single, blue-and-white pattern covers the walls and a traditional valance, as well as accenting pleated shades.
