Keep Cozy With Fall Window Treatments
Now that summer is over, it’s time to trade in your swimsuits for sweaters and indulge in all things pumpkin-flavored. Whether you’re cozying up by the fire or sipping hot coco, fall is the perfect time to enjoy the changing of seasons and prepare for colder weather. Making small tweaks to your home can help create a warmer and more comfortable space without taking a toll on your wallet. Swapping out your Window Treatments is a simple and cost-effective task to help stay warm this fall.
It doesn’t have to be a grueling or expensive project—something as simple as incorporating season-inspired colors to your window treatments or adding textured drapes—can make a big impact on your home’s overall atmosphere.
Here are some ways to get your window treatments ready for this fall season.
Natural Light
This time of year, the sun sets earlier and earlier. This fall season maximize natural sunlight with top-down or bottom-up honeycomb window shades. These energy-efficient shades are perfect for allowing in optimal light during the colder, darker months. Plantation shutters create the ideal atmosphere for rustic decor and also become part of the cozy autumnal style. These window treatments eliminate glare and direct soft, natural light to illuminate your home.
Organic Elements
Natural elements bring the peace and tranquility of the outdoors right into your home. To add warmth to your interior spaces, incorporate rustic décor like a branching coat rack and wicker baskets. Any organic elements of your choice can be included in your space to add a natural touch. When styling your home for fall, simple window treatments are key. Letting in beautiful beams of sunlight, while diffusing glare, wooden shades are the essence of comfort. Wood tones along with a color palette that includes reds, oranges, and yellows make your home a warm and inviting place.
Textures and Layering
Draperies are a great choice for fall window treatments. Though lightweight and sheer draperies are best for summer and spring, heavier fabrics are more suitable for the cold weather that accompanies fall and winter. Choose velvet drapes to add warmth, depth, and drama to your home. You can also add various textures by layering two types of fabric of the same or two different colors.
Autumnal Colors
There’s nothing quite like the beauty of autumn scenery, which is why your window treatments should reflect, or complement, the season’s vibrant landscapes and color palette. The easiest way to liven up your home is to include an array of season-inspired colors and hues. From rustic oranges and blazing reds to deep yellows and varying shades of brown, you can make your home a cozy holiday escape. One of our favorite window treatments for fall are woven window coverings. These sophisticated and elegant window treatments allow a view-through while providing light control and privacy; and their texture and color will complement your space with a rugged softness that pairs perfectly with fall.
