Best Window Treatments for Small Rooms
When decorating a small room, make the space feel as large and open as possible by using the right window treatments. Tight spaces can easily become claustrophobic if they become too closed off and are easy to overwhelm with the wrong décor piece. To avoid these problems, follow our window blinds recommendations.
- Keep Window Treatments Open & Airy
To avoid creating a space that feels claustrophobic, choose window treatments that allow natural light to pass - and preferably allow you to see out as well, unless privacy is a significant concern for that room. Light filtering roller shades, zebra shades, cellular shades, and drapery all accomplish this task well, as do solar shades and horizontal sheers.
- Make Window Treatments Compact
Compact window treatments take up less of the valuable space in your room. Roller shades are the most compact option, along with solar and zebra shades.
- Use High, Muted & Vertically Oriented Window Treatments
Choosing vertically oriented window treatments and/or raising your window treatments above the level of your window frame draws attention upwards, making the room feel larger and more open. Monochromatic window treatments in muted tones fade into the background, rather than overwhelming the room with bold colours or designs.
Hopefully this guide has provided some valuable insight into how to approach window treatment shopping for small spaces.
