Do It Yourself Window Treatments

Curtains, drapes, shears, cornices, and shades; If you've got a vision in mind for your window treatments, it's pretty easy to make it a reality. First, choose your fabric. You can pick from vintage fabric, designer fabric, or sheets. You can even use wallpaper to cover a shade. My favorite type of textile to decorate with are vintage fabrics. Ebay is a great resource for inexpensive and unique new and vintage fabric.

For a custom cornice, you can make your own cornice board out of plywood or foamcore. Then cover it with a fun fabric, a remnant, or a sheet. A plain old shade can be transformed by covering it with some nice wallpaper.

You can sew new curtains or shears easily. Just make sure you measure your drapery fabric and leave room for the seam allowance. If you don't want to sew, use a pretty sheet and some fabric glue, decorative pins, vintage pendants, or eyelets.

Choosing the Right Window Treatment

Are you in the process of redecorating your home? Ready to choose window treatments, curtains, draperies, or blinds? Choosing the right style of window treatment for your home is an important step in your remodeling project.

Draperies and valances can be used alone or as an accent to existing window treatments such as blinds or shears. When choosing drapes, pick a fabric print and color that will fit in with the overall colorscheme of the room without being to flashy or too neutral. If choosing a print, go ahead and choose something of a matching color scheme, but with a unique print. It's boring to have drapes and pillows in identical matching prints. Mix it up a little. The same trick works for the valance. Choose complimentary color in a different print.
