Key Considerations for Selecting the Perfect Window Treatment Colour
While choosing a new hue for your window treatments may appear to be a straightforward task, there are several crucial factors to keep in mind to ensure that your selection complements your home’s aesthetic.
Coordinate with Your Window Trim or Molding
One of the most significant aspects to consider is how your window treatment colour will harmonize with your window trim or molding. Opting for a shade that either matches or complements your existing trim can create a cohesive and polished appearance throughout your space.
To determine the ideal window treatment colour for your room, begin by measuring and photographing your window and its surrounding trim or molding. You can also utilize our Norman Visualize tool to create a mock-up and test out different colours. By conducting thorough research and carefully weighing your options, you can select a colour that seamlessly integrates with your home’s overall style and aesthetic.
Harmonize with Your Wall Colour
When it comes to window treatments, many homeowners instinctively gravitate towards white as a default option, believing that its neutrality allows it to blend with any colour scheme. While white is always a fundamentally sound choice, adding a splash of colour can elevate a space to the next level.
The key to success is to choose a window treatment colour that complements your wall colour, creating a harmonious and balanced look. For instance, if your walls are a soft blue, consider opting for window treatments in deeper shades like navy or dark cerulean. The goal is to establish a sense of unity between the window treatments and the walls, rather than having the window treatments blend in or disappear entirely.
Align with Flooring or Other Existing Fixtures
Another aspect to consider is how your window treatment colour will best complement your flooring or other décor elements. Depending on the style of your windows, there are various options available in terms of both colour and design.
For example, if your home features hardwood floors, selecting window treatments in earthy tones can create a cohesive look that ties in seamlessly with the rest of your décor. Alternatively, if you prefer to showcase your individual style, opting for brighter colours can be an excellent way to make a striking statement.
Opt for a Contrasting Colour
When selecting a window treatment colour, it is essential to consider the impact of contrast. By incorporating contrasting hues, you can create a bold and eye-catching window treatment that beautifully accentuates your décor.
One effective approach is to pair crisp whites with deep, rich tones or jewel colours. This combination can be particularly effective if your windows are large or situated near a focal point in the room, such as a fireplace or a piece of artwork. Alternatively, you can combine muted tones with vibrant pops of colour, resulting in an elegant and understated look that still commands attention.
