Important Factors to Consider
While selecting a new colour for your window treatments might seem simple, it is essential to keep a few aspects in mind while choosing in order to match or complement existing decor within your home.
Match to Your Window Trim or Molding
One of the most important considerations is how your window treatment will match your window trim or molding. Choosing a colour that matches or complements your existing trim can create a cohesive look throughout your space, while mismatching colours can make your window treatments seem like an afterthought.
To find the right window treatment colour for your space, start by taking measurements and photographs of your window and surrounding trim or molding. This will give you a better sense of what might work well with your existing decor. You may also want to compare paint swatches at local home improvement stores. With some research and careful consideration, you can select a colour to match the rest of your home’s style and aesthetic.
Coordinate with Your Wall Colour
When it comes to window treatments, it’s common practice to default to white. After all, it’s neutral and goes with everything, right? Not necessarily.
White window treatments can potentially look quite stark against a coloured wall, especially if the wall colour is bold or bright. The key is to choose a window treatment colour that complements your wall colour. If your walls are a light blue, for example, you might choose window treatments in navy or royal blue. If your walls are a warm tan, chocolate brown would be complementary. The goal is to create harmony between the window treatments and the walls, not to have the window treatments blend in or disappear.
Match to Flooring or Other Existing Fixtures
Another important factor to consider is what will best complement your flooring or other decor. Depending on the type of window you have, there are several different styles and colours to choose from.
For example, if you have hardwood floors, earthier create a cohesive look that ties in with the rest of your home. If you prefer to display individuality, bright colours or bold prints can be great options that allow you to showcase your personal style in an impactful way. Ultimately, the key is to find a colour that both complements and enhances your existing décor.
Choose a Contrasting Colour
One key factor to take into account is the use of contrasting colours. By using contrasting colours, you can add a bold and eye-catching window treatment that beautifully highlights your decor.
One option for utilizing contrasting colours is to combine stark whites with dark or jewel tones. This can be particularly impactful if the window itself is large or located near a focal point in the room, like a fireplace or a piece of artwork. Another approach is to pair more muted tones with bold pops of colour, which can create an elegant and understated look that still stands out.
Regardless of which combination of colours you choose, it is essential to find materials that work well together while also being durable enough to withstand regular use throughout the year.
