Ideas for Single Windows

In our last post, we discussed the types of vertical blinds and other window treatments that work best for corner windows. But what about single windows? Read on.

A lone window doesn’t have to look lonely thanks to these tips:

• Address size first, and make sure the window treatment is proportional to the rest of the room.

• Give a single window the royal treatment by using an elegant valence and fancy curtains. Just make sure the window is high enough to avoid water damage if it’s in the bathroom or kitchen!

• If your lone window is narrow, cheap vertical blinds will do the trick. Plus, you can splurge on pricier material since you’re not covering a lot of surface area.

• Sometimes simple is better. Linen or cotton panels work well on single windows with Roman shade tapes.

• Use coordinating fabric to make the window seem like part of the room. A single window can also be used to add to the theme of the room.

• Just because it’s a single window doesn’t mean you can’t make it dramatic with floor-length draperies.

• To make a single window appear bigger, choose draperies that are wider than the window frame.
