What Today’s Windows Are Wearing

Today, it’s easier than ever to give your windows a beautiful, stylish, ease-of-care look thanks to a wide array of modern shutters, shades, blinds, and window toppers in a variety of rich fabrics, colors, styles, and finishes.

Shutters are a savvy choice for any home, and far from the seventies trend in wide plastic panels and lacey burlap. High-tech, easy to take care of, and wildly attractive, they can help regulate light and insulate the inside of your home from the outside weather. Twenty-first century shutters are beautifully designed, and because of their simplicity and clean lines, fit with any décor.

Modern shades and blinds come in a variety of styles and materials. Each can stand alone, or be paired with stylish window toppers. Shades come in just about every style imaginable. They can be raised and lowered like blinds. Roman shades feature loosely folded, horizontal pleats and can stack smartly above any window, out of the way. Woven-wood shades are made from any number of natural materials like woven reeds, matchsticks, or grasses. Though they require more stacking space above the window, woven-wood shades can offer a lovely, dramatic accent to any décor.

Like shades, blinds can be raised or lowered, and come is a different widths and lengths. Slim, stylish, and easy to maintain, today’s blinds come in various colors and widths: a far cry from the humble, one color Venetian blinds of the 50’s. Blinds, with their restful horizontal lines, can be pleasing to the eye and complement any décor scheme.

Window toppers add versatility to any window décor. Use them alone, or combine them with shades and blinds to create a simple yet dramatic window fashion. Window toppers are enormously versatile. The most popular window toppers include valances, cornices, swags, and scarves fashioned in fabrics rich in color and textures.
