It\u2019s happening: the cold\u2019s receding (however tentatively) and the sun\u2019s making regular appearances. Finally, we can start spending less time with the curtains drawn to keep the heat in, and instead fling our windows wide open!<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re looking to let some long-awaited light in or want to give your home a new look, now is the perfect time to dress your windows since they\u2019ll be so much on show.<\/p>\n
Multicoloured Curtains<\/b><\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve got accents of different colours in a space, getting curtains that combine all those colours is a great way to really tie the room together. If you can\u2019t find a single type of fabric that\u2019s just right, try layering \u2013 colourful undercurtains have the same subtle yet perceptible effect as the collar of a shirt worn beneath a business suit. Just don\u2019t overdo it, two layers is fine.<\/p>\n

Blinds<\/b><\/p>\n
Curtains aren\u2019t the only way to spice up your windows. Have you got a conservatory? Would you just like to offset a room of dark furniture? Stylish blinds and some light linen curtains are the way to go \u2013 they let in more light than dark curtains and can be more securely closed off than roman shades.<\/p>\n
Window Seating<\/b><\/p>\n
The color, style and length of your window dressing should complement any adjoining seats. When drawn, curtains shouldn\u2019t drape over the seat, and when they\u2019re apart, they should be securely out of the way. Perfect for a lazy summer afternoon!<\/p>\n
What are your favorite window dressing styles? I\u2019d love to hear your plans!<\/p>\n
