- Make windows appear larger and give the illusion of higher ceilings by extending draperies from
the ceiling to the floor.
- Emphasize the view outside of a window by keeping the treatments simple. Blend fabric color with the wall color or incorporate a tone from outside to pull the eye towards the view.
- Camouflage what is outside the window by using bolder fabrics with sheers to soften the view
and direct attention to the interior.
- Use blackout-lined draperies and shades for bedrooms, areas with large screened televisions and privacy areas.
- Balance uneven windows by mounting treatments at the same height. Use blackout lining
to conceal what is behind them.
- Use textured fabrics for interest in rooms that are primarily one color.
