When it comes to hanging up your window shades, there are steps you can take that will ensure that your curtains look as fashionable as possible. With the right set-up, your curtain shades will look fantastic and enhance the overall beauty of your home. 

Tip #1: Open Your Home

First, you are going to want to open the feeling of your home. You can do this by the way that you position your curtains. Instead of hanging your curtains right at the height of your windows, hang your curtains a few inches above them. You can hang your curtain up high enough so that they are right below the ceiling. You should also set your curtain rod so that it extends a few inches on each side of your windows.

Placing your curtains above your window and extending them outwards will make your home feel more open. You will want your curtains to extend all the way down to the floor to fully open your space and make it feel as large as possible.

Tip #2: Layer Your Window Treatments

Second, there is no rule that says you must use one type of window treatment on your windows. If you want your windows to look stunning, you may want to layer your window treatment. You can have a curtain hanging down over your windows, making your space feel larger, and you can have custom shades that go over your windows. With a layered window treatment, you can have great control over your privacy as well as the amount of light that comes into your home. You will also help increase the energy efficiency of your home with them.

Tip #3: Use Wide Slates

When it comes to choosing your window treatment, go for wide slats. Wide slates will allow in more light and allow you to see out of your window treatments easier when you have them open. Window slates also tend to have more of a stylish look to them. When you can, go with larger slates on your blinds or shutters.

If you want to have stylish windows, you need a plan. Hang your curtains high and wide above your windows and allow the curtains to flow down to the floor to make your space feel larger. Use blinds and curtains, layer window treatments for the most stunning visual effect, and the greatest level of control over light and privacy. Enhance the look with wide slates on your blinds or shutters. Contact a company that provides window shades for more information.
