Creating Texture Rich Design with Soft Window Coverings

A key to keeping interior design feeling exciting and balanced is using various textures to build dimensional style. Prominent elements in a room, like flooring, furnishings, and window treatments, all play a major role in establishing different textures in a space. Working with other soft window coverings, homeowners can find fashionable window treatments that elevate their home’s décor.

Interesting Textural Fabrics for Soft Window Coverings

The first thing to consider for textural interest in soft window coverings is the material they’re made from. After all, the textiles used will affect the look of a treatment, the type of texture it adds to the space, and the functional abilities of the individual window treatment.

  • Woven Wood Shades: Provenance® Woven Wood Shades feature textiles spun from woods, reeds, grasses, bamboo, and other natural elements for soft window coverings with incredible textural interest. The raw weave of woven wood shades is refined by the treatment’s polished finish for sophisticated window coverings with dimension and depth.
  • Sheer Shades: The translucent opacity of sheer materials gives the textile a soft yet chic feel. They create dimensional interest thanks to the fabric’s view-through visibility, and modern window treatments that utilize this one-of-a-kind fabric include sheer curtains and stylish sheer shades. In select styles of sheer shades by Hunter Douglas, a sheer base is offset with opaque fabric vanes for an additional contrast in textures.
  • Designer Fabrics: From the creative mind of Lori Weitzner comes an exclusive line of texture-rich, designer fabrics for the Alustra® Woven Textures® collection. Weitzner’s fabric collection can be used to create Roman shades, roller shades, or panel track blinds.

Textural Styling for Soft Window Coverings

When considering different soft window coverings for a room, remember to consider how the treatment will interact with other elements in the room and how textural balance can be achieved with smart styling.

  • Layered Window Treatments: Marrying soft shades with hard treatments in a layered window fashion is one way to balance the textures in window coverings. Think flowing side panels with blinds or full drapery over plantation shutters. The layers in a multi-tiered treatment should complement each other through textures and features.
  • Floor and Window Treatment Pairings: What type of flooring is in your room? When shopping for new soft window coverings, it may seem like an odd question to consider, but as two major elements in a room, the flooring and the window treatments will work together to set the tone, mood, and style of a room. As with all textural design, strive for balance, playing hardwood floors against soft sheer shades or woven wood shades against carpeted interiors.
