TREAT YOUR WINDOWS


Window treatments can send people into a spin - so many options, how do you decide!!! The obvious choices are curtains, blinds and shutters. But even then, the options are almost endless. (See attached pics). I'm partial to a sheer linen or voile curtain that pools on the ground. They're quite ethereal and mesmerizing. But here's a little tip - don't hang your curtains where your window moldings end. Instead, take them right up to the ceiling if possible and frame the window on either side as this will give the illusion that the window and room are larger than they really are. Another option is to customise blinds with artwork or images, similar to what was done on The Block by series winners Steve and Chantelle. Check out Printed Blinds Australia printedblindsaustralia.com.au or Custom Printed Blinds customprintedblinds.com.au. This option essentially transforms your blinds into a piece of art. Of course, some windows are so magnificent, they should just be left alone. But if the temptation is too strong, forget covering them up and consider a window seat or potted greenery along the sill.
