2014 Smart Bedroom Window Treatments Ideas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><span style="color: orange;">Window treatments</span></b> are decorative assets, but in a bedroom where privacy is key to feeling serene and calm window treatments are your strongest ally. They also can ensure a good night's sleep by blocking unwanted light and even dampening noise. Here are some window treatment options to help you make your bedroom an oasis. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcxTx_hTmetdx5grg3ZuhleOuBN5JHkztCAqZg5n06jznj5WHBN4aBZDFqw-VSnZylkbwfcuxJZOmUC2vSbVt3vl32YQu0ugFlQvDQst3j6XMMMJYOeKtn1MrADiiyFOSxmC_PMnz5-Cy-/s1600/2014-Smart-Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcxTx_hTmetdx5grg3ZuhleOuBN5JHkztCAqZg5n06jznj5WHBN4aBZDFqw-VSnZylkbwfcuxJZOmUC2vSbVt3vl32YQu0ugFlQvDQst3j6XMMMJYOeKtn1MrADiiyFOSxmC_PMnz5-Cy-/s1600/2014-Smart-Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Just as in the dining room or living room, a window treatment should suit the decorative style you are aiming for in your bedroom. And a room with precisely aligned bedding and symmetrical furniture placement calls for an equally crisp window dressing. It doesn't have to feel stuffy and formal, however. This plush design includes an upholstered valance, called a cornice, which tops the window with cushioned softness. It's also a neat camouflage to cover the clanking rods and rings that hold the curtains below. Made from softly tactile fabric, the curtains draw closed to shut out the light. Altogether, the look is a taut-yet-luxurious backdrop for the bed.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeI2U_jCLLYbJv7Al8XI5yhSIouYCx0bt5ew-S-WnFQweRrrcVPJIwxdebWgLty2VfAD18X8SVeIJ_bIq6yDyoOgXwf3Lj1BswWAUv2vZmQyGo0ESWsB3OkHktIcjJxrAJ0wHE333mrX2e/s1600/2014-Smart-Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Ideas-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeI2U_jCLLYbJv7Al8XI5yhSIouYCx0bt5ew-S-WnFQweRrrcVPJIwxdebWgLty2VfAD18X8SVeIJ_bIq6yDyoOgXwf3Lj1BswWAUv2vZmQyGo0ESWsB3OkHktIcjJxrAJ0wHE333mrX2e/s1600/2014-Smart-Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For bedrooms with less structured style, there are plenty of casual window treatments to choose from. Roman shades offer the color and pattern of fabric, or the textural variety of woven fibers, and they dampen noises. Plantation shades, shutters, and wood blinds are effective at light control and are integral in cottage or transitional decorating styles. In this room, the windows are dressed to deal with light and noise, but they also provide color and pattern to perk up the space. The lined curtains add cheerful color, while the subtle ivory privacy shade underneath glows brightly in natural light. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZsL4-tNZGm4sFdcFXVZtubh8jKkvyDX71dJ_nuAmx_eSEu_aF904C1x4IDlT9NvlHC3Ou__fxd9zTdPoiWijAyxP7smWp_Zdz0L9A05cZLHnFb58WrYT1-IOjITYy3Fu1BwttaJCkHMGu/s1600/2014-Smart-Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Ideas-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZsL4-tNZGm4sFdcFXVZtubh8jKkvyDX71dJ_nuAmx_eSEu_aF904C1x4IDlT9NvlHC3Ou__fxd9zTdPoiWijAyxP7smWp_Zdz0L9A05cZLHnFb58WrYT1-IOjITYy3Fu1BwttaJCkHMGu/s1600/2014-Smart-Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes all you need is one effective window treatment. Curtains with blackout lining block light, cellular shades are insulating against wintry chills, and cafe curtains let you see the view when privacy isn’t an issue. In the case of this bedroom, a single Roman shade made from woven rattan is a neat, tidy look at the window. Like an actor in an ensemble case, it performs as needed. It complements the colors and patterns of the bedding, but it doesn’t compete for attention, letting the bed take the starring role. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH7cqmPdiKR0t3CZDOCxxXHBOSgoZyJEnMoSg-cnMNIkCaHTVcYqp6_bJXsCcjcGcLeOdiKE0qhhPdVSUahAN2GVdSjnq0HITkm_SG8NsRnWqLmFphpDetMTRbIz5wgNskgotLXevrr2ux/s1600/2014-Smart-Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Ideas-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH7cqmPdiKR0t3CZDOCxxXHBOSgoZyJEnMoSg-cnMNIkCaHTVcYqp6_bJXsCcjcGcLeOdiKE0qhhPdVSUahAN2GVdSjnq0HITkm_SG8NsRnWqLmFphpDetMTRbIz5wgNskgotLXevrr2ux/s1600/2014-Smart-Bedroom-Window-Treatments-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Although one is nice, a lot can be said for two window treatments working together in a bedroom, where function and style go hand in hand. For function, install a hardworking foundation, such as these plantation shutters. They control light and noise from outside and are an insulating barrier for cold glass. Yet they are hard, angular, and bland. The curtain panels provide softness, color, and pattern. Mounted above the windows, they don't interfere with the function of the shutters. They also help dampen noise inside the room, acting as sound absorbers to create a hushed and comforting environment. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Add color and personality to the cooking zone with inexpensive artwork, displays, and linens.<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;"><i><b>By  : Renee Freemon Mulvihill</b></i></span><br /><span style="color: orange;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>The kitchen is a hardworking, functional room, but you can have fun with its design, too. Once you've selected the cabinets, appliances, and fixtures, don't forget to add the accessories that will truly make the room feel like your own. Decorative items, such as artwork, collectibles, and linens add welcome color and personality to finish off the space. <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Artistic Elements </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_oQd0SPxIk1oRnX-bOFV-BeCiuzSLTKjjWtNYWFcQpmUqzCAz58FK8i_XSNMjc2NX5r-BQXFdg8cL0aqlvwV89GiXd5U81jJrRYld629jVGYbBv9MZn8e6m-NhWGNoCtgxqcwHTLG4VR4/s1600/201-Kitchen-Decorating-Accessories-Ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_oQd0SPxIk1oRnX-bOFV-BeCiuzSLTKjjWtNYWFcQpmUqzCAz58FK8i_XSNMjc2NX5r-BQXFdg8cL0aqlvwV89GiXd5U81jJrRYld629jVGYbBv9MZn8e6m-NhWGNoCtgxqcwHTLG4VR4/s1600/201-Kitchen-Decorating-Accessories-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b></b>You'll likely spend a lot of time in your kitchen, so brighten up the space with wall art. Although you may not want to place your most cherished artwork near the sink or range, due to possible steam and splatters, inexpensive poster art can brighten a wall, says Richard Landon, a certified master kitchen and bath designer in Bellevue, Washington. Keep in mind that artwork isn't limited to paintings and pictures. Consider hanging decorative platters, distinctive cookie cutters, or vintage cooking tools as decoration. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Creative Displays </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy0z0ZbSz83TneK6uDPI6pVHKNPvzDtm21xQTyxdEPZi59UHiGlHDfiDiRPSMZvjqyNVuOPBCtEDdQEsrmuOoA10e23PemStOU1Zf1_3qj7sF0EIwxrnHTkQzUN3sNCf4IbnXOIEz6kYSU/s1600/201-Kitchen-Decorating-Accessories-Ideas-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy0z0ZbSz83TneK6uDPI6pVHKNPvzDtm21xQTyxdEPZi59UHiGlHDfiDiRPSMZvjqyNVuOPBCtEDdQEsrmuOoA10e23PemStOU1Zf1_3qj7sF0EIwxrnHTkQzUN3sNCf4IbnXOIEz6kYSU/s1600/201-Kitchen-Decorating-Accessories-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If your kitchen includes glass-front cabinets or open shelves, use them to create attractive and colorful display areas. Design an eye-catching focal point by grouping similar items and hiding not-so-pretty items in decorative canisters or baskets. Limit color choice for a more sophisticated look. All-white dinnerware on open shelves can form a simple and attractive display, for example, while collections of enameled cast iron pots in complementary hues can add a burst of color to a neutral kitchen. No open shelves? "Take a simple element and repeat it on a windowsill," Landon says. "I've taken empty Perrier bottles and lined them up. Something about repeating an element makes it special." </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Other Accessories </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB5PIqKn4Tgoe08Cb7Dq1te5at0I98KLREk6hRcsl9wAKLqvvEUmSxKTmdSJl-52Avl_TqX6lSbkJUzxtXhN97ETSMFXEm1Twb5BVH0b4Y3oYbzTTllVMKbxS1ZtmR7FpFFFffmeAuG_eJ/s1600/201-Kitchen-Decorating-Accessories-Ideas-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB5PIqKn4Tgoe08Cb7Dq1te5at0I98KLREk6hRcsl9wAKLqvvEUmSxKTmdSJl-52Avl_TqX6lSbkJUzxtXhN97ETSMFXEm1Twb5BVH0b4Y3oYbzTTllVMKbxS1ZtmR7FpFFFffmeAuG_eJ/s1600/201-Kitchen-Decorating-Accessories-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Even everyday items can make a big impact in a kitchen work zone. Choose rugs or dishtowels with bold pattern to add a burst of cheerful color, choose a light fixture with a colorful shade, or paint chairs or barstools in bright, unexpected hues. Copper pots and pans hung from a pot rack or set on a shelf attract the eye and add old-fashioned charm to a traditional kitchen. Sculptural salt and pepper shakers, stand mixers, or other functional kitchen tools can double as art when displayed on the countertop. Or place red and green apples (real or fake) in a ceramic bowl for an inexpensive display that can break up an expanse of countertop. </div><br /></div>
