Fast and Simple Budget Friendly Ways to Update Window Treatments
Have you had the same curtains for years?
If they are covering valuable architectural detail, darkening the room, or dating the room...it's time to replace them.
Dated window treatments, regardless of how expensive they originally were, age your home.
You don't have to spend a lot of money to update window treatments.
The key is keeping it simple.
The window is the focal point...it only needs an accessory, not a whole wardrobe.
Switching to plain white shears is an inexpensive way to create a fresh, updated look.
Get panels long enough to almost hit the floor, rather than panels that end at the bottom of the window.
Hang them from rings for a more stylish look. Walmart and Target carry a good selection of inexpensive hardware.
For an easy, no-sew valance take a curtain panel you already have (or twin size flat sheet, or any piece of fabric) and fold it up and hang it from rings.
Another idea using fabric and rings: Attach 7 single robe hooks to wall above window (extending past the window on both sides). Clip rings to valance (or any folded fabric) and hang each ring from a hook.
Switch to woven blinds for a natural look. Bamboo blinds that roll up deliver high impact for little cost!
Remember "less is more"....the goal is to accent the windows with fabric and let the woodwork show. It's cleaner, brighter, and much more appealing.
