September 12, 2008, Newsletter Issue #93: An Inexpensive Window Makeover

Tip of the Week

Window coverings can make or break the mood of your room. Your window treatments should match the room décor and create a warm, harmonious atmosphere. If your windows need a makeover start in one area of your house and slowly make your way from room to room. You should make a plan for the entire house so you can match the patterns and design throughout your home. Discount window coverings are a great option for a window makeover. Certain types of window treatments serve different purposes. Keep in mind you want to make small window look larger and oversized windows should be scaled down a bit. In order to achieve a larger look for a small window you can use a heading such as a valance or cornice above the window and hang drapes or verticals of a similar length. Large windows can be treated with a series of drapes or blinds to make them appear smaller. You can also break up a large window by hanging curtains or blinds on the lower half of the window leaving the top untreated. Cheap window blinds and cheap curtains can be found at almost any window treatment retailer. Some companies will sell odd sizes or returns at low cost because they are hard to sell otherwise. Cheap window treatments are not hard to find if you know where to look.
