Create Styles With Window Treatment Color in Houston, TX

Matthew Clark • Jul 26, 2016

Choosing your window treatment is one of the most important home décor decisions you will make. The color alone can set the stage for your personal style and create an ambiance that reflects you and your home better than anything else. Here are 5 tips for choosing the color of your window treatments in Houston Texas:


  1. Going Neutral Or Adding Color
  2. Choosing The Right Material For Your Decor
  3. Pattern or Solid
  4. Matching Your Accessories
  5. Creating A Cohesive Look


Going Neutral Or Adding Color

Your choice of color will either cause people to focus on your window treatments or focus elsewhere. When choosing a color for your window treatments, you need to consider what the purpose of the color will be. Do you want to draw attention to your blinds, shades or shutters or do you want them to blend in. If you choose a popular, trendy color, will you enjoy the color a year or two down the road? Sometimes trendy colors represent the times and can become outdated. If you like a more monochromatic look, a neutral color will be a better choice. Choose a color that closely matches your wall color or is slightly darker. If you are decorating with shutters or blinds, you can also match the window frame. This gives your window treatments a built in look that is quite appealing.


Choosing The Right Material For Your Décor

Product choice and material dictates the color options you have. A faux wood shutter for example comes in fewer color choices than a Roman shade. If you are interested in playing with color, a soft window treatment like a shade or sheer is often the best choice. Hardwood blinds and shutters can be softened up a bit with a custom drapery.


Pattern Or Solid

Many of our fabrics are offered in a variety of solid colors and interesting patterns. You can choose an eye-catching pattern to create a focal point or add color to your room. Large prints typically stand out more and can provide that pop of color your looking for. Smaller prints can create not only an interest of color but can also add texture to your room. A rule of thumb when choosing patterns over solids is to consider the rest of your furnishings. If your furniture is patterned or your room appears busy, a solid color window treatment should be used. If your furniture is solid than a pattern will work nicely. Choose a solid window treatment if you’re going to add a custom drapery. Allow the drapery to carry the pattern and be the focal point.


Matching Your Accessories

Choosing a color is often easier than you realize. If you have colors in your room you like, consider matching those colors. If you’re really enjoying a particular color, you can use it on your window treatments and then add touches of the same color in your accessories. Many people, for example, choose bold colored, patterned or stripped pillows in their living room and then choose one of the colors to repeat in their window treatments.


Creating A Cohesive Look

Unless you are aiming for an eclectic style, you will want to create a cohesive look with your window treatments. Your overall room dynamics and style is defined with the window treatments and color you choose. Soft, loud or dynamic window treatments all have an effect on the tone of the room. When it comes to color choice, make sure the color you choose speaks the way you want it to and enhances the overall theme or design of your room.
