![]() With standard home decor fabric, that means each drapery is roughly 75 inches wide before any gathering or pleating on its header. The draperies are a one and a half width each. By combining a valance and a pair of custom draperies, this illusion of a large window is achieved. And let’s be honest here – it’s a bit strange to have a living room with just one single window, so this room needed to make its single window as big as it could be. At first glance, it’s hard to believe that the window is a single 48-inch window.īecause this living room only has one window, it desperately needed to get as much light in the room as it could. One great feature of custom valances and draperies is that they can help you make your window appear larger and wider. I will not be discussing modern valances or shades, but will reference them occasionally. ![]() So let’s take a look at how these traditional and transitional styles could be applied to valances and shades for living rooms. Windows dressed in a modern way tend to be more focused on hard window treatments, and soft window treatments are complementary here rather than being the focal point. For example, the same Roman shade discussed above could become modern if a solid white fabric with a metallic, geometric pattern is chosen. Modern window treatments – these window treatments are minimalist and use modern fabrics as well. ![]() By the way, there are pictures to follow of all these styles, so bear with me here. Hence, this is a transitional window treatment. But select a traditional floral or toile fabric for it and it becomes a mix of the two styles. For example, a flat, motorized window shade is definitely a modern way to do window treatments. It’s very popular for kitchens, but obviously is seen in living rooms, too. Transitional window treatments – transitional design is a way to mix traditional and modern.The fabrics chosen are also traditional in this case, with neutral color combinations being the most common. These window treatments use plenty of fabric yardage, gather generously in the form of extra wide draperies, balloon shades, or ultra-pleated swag valances. Traditional window treatments – have you ever seen magazine pictures of governors’ mansions or fancy chateaus and happen to see a huge silk drapery on the windows with an elaborate swag valance? That’s what I’m talking about here.I like to divide window treatments into three styles – traditional, transitional, or modern. This post also includes some examples of fabric shades since they’re so similar to some valance styles.
