From a wall of bookcases to pops of bright colors, there are ways to make a statement, including changing up your window treatments!

When redecorating or updating a room, we often think of paint color, throw pillows, and furniture. But dressing your windows with a statement-making covering can really make your family and guests say wow!

Here are our top 5 window coverings that make a statement. 

1 | Wood Blinds

Wood blinds are a classic. There is just something so rich and luxurious about them that really adds a wow factor to your walls. They come in a variety of stains and colors, including custom matching them to the existing wood in your home! Try a blonde wood or go super dark with a rich espresso for something unexpected. Wood blinds are ideal for spaces that are low in humidity, which can warp and discolor your wood blinds. So avoid installing them in your bathroom or kitchen. Opt for cordless to make your blinds safer for young children and pets. 

2| Roller Shades with Statement Patterns

Roller shades are a chic option for window coverings. The fabric panel gives you an opportunity to play with statement-making colors and patterns. Perhaps you want a bold paisley or maybe you want a bright blue; the options are literally endless when it comes to fabric selections. Opt for cordless and add on a room darkening lining perfect for your bedrooms, nursery, or media room and you’ll see why this is in our top five!

3 | Roman Shades

Roman shades are another classic window treatment. They have been around since ancient Rome and for good reason. Their soft pleats of fabric really make a statement. Even though this treatment has been around in some form for quite some time, that doesn’t mean they aren’t for modern decor styles. There are many different pleat styles that work for any home decor style. Opt for a more structured pleat for modern styles and a softer pleat for more traditional interior decor styles. You can also opt for cordless and choose from a wide variety of fabrics, patterns, and colors. 

4 | Sheer Shades

The alternating veins of sheer and opaque fabric make sheer shades a standout window treatment. They create a very luminescent quality to the light that filters in through your window, making them a gorgeous option. They are very similar to blinds with their slatted design but are made of fabric. These veins of fabric can be tilted to create more privacy or adjust the amount of light filtering. Because they are so lightweight, they are ideal for large windows. 

5 | Black or Gray Interior Shutters

Interior shutters always make a statement. In fact, they are highly desired by home buyers. This means they are the only window treatment that actually adds value to your home! Interior shutters also work great with any home decor style, from modern to traditional. They also offer plenty of options for customization, from hidden tilts to molding. If you want to really create a statement, try an unexpected color or stain, such as gray or black.
