Mixing curtain styles with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwidesigns.com\/blog\/are-your-window-blinds-fire-resistant\/\">heat resistant blinds<\/a> is a great way to help your windowsill stay cool during these sweltering days. However, you should always use caution when getting creative with your window covering design, and keep these tips in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>One Treatment Per Room<\/strong> \u2013 You should not have different window treatments in the same room. Window treatments like shutters help define a space, so having more than one treatment can make a room feel disjointed or awkward. It may be tempting to interchange treatments in large rooms, but its still a better idea to keep things consistent. This can get tricky with modern open floor plan homes. If your intent is to break up the room into several distinct areas, using different coverings might define each space.\u202fBut proceed with caution.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch Your Layering<\/strong> \u2013 You can definitely layer two window treatments on one window, but you need to be careful that they don\u2019t drown out the room. If you layer properly, you can add lots of interest and texture to a space while maintaining function. For example, you can pair an opaque cellular shade\u202fwith a sheer curtain to block out light when necessary but still have some privacy when the shade is up. The ideal way to layer on one window is to put decoration over a more permanent or custom treatment, like a window shutter. This way you can change the decorative treatment as you wish, but the function stays the same.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Aware of Curb Appeal<\/strong> \u2013 There are no rules about using different treatments in different rooms throughout the house. However, many designers recommend using the same or similar treatments all around the home to keep a cohesive design feel. You can use different treatments to make rooms stand out, but when in doubt, go for the same. This is especially true when you consider curb appeal. Homes with matching window treatments look much more uniform and appealing from the street. If you use the same window treatment for all street-facing windows, people see the home as an entity rather than having one window or room stand out too much.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep The Same Functional Coverings<\/strong>\u2013 One easy way to keep up your curb appeal is to layer all the windows in the house with the same permanent and functional coverings under more unique treatments. Many designers recommend a neutral looking treatment for all their windows, as they enhance curb appeal while being versatile enough to blend into the different styles of each individual room. Try pairing functional coverings with different curtains in separate rooms to keep your windows looking uniform from the curb while allowing each room to have its own personality on the inside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kiwi Designs, Fine Blinds &amp; Shutters, can give you many more tips for Apex, NC window coverings.
