Dressing your windows

An undressed window is like a dress without shoes. The right window treatments complete a room. But there's lots to consider, from the look you're trying to create, the location of the room, and how you use it. And then there's fabric, pattern, colour, hardware, pleating and more!

Curtains soften a room, add texture and pattern, and block out light and the cold.  With a myriad of fabric colours, textures and patterns available, I treat it like wallpaper selection to ensure the colour and pattern are balanced with other furnishings in the space. 
Top tips:
- Hang them high to create the illusion of more space in a room
- Curtains should always fall to the floor
- Composition of the fabric is important with our fierce UV light
- Take time to select the right hardware to complete the finished look

Roller blinds are both space- and cost-effective, for a minimal, modern look, and there are now many beautiful fabrics to select from.
Top tips:
- Consider whether you want blackout, light filtering or sunscreen blinds
- Decide on face-mounted (above the window) or recess-fit (within the frame)

Shutters are a great way to create privacy but still let in light. I usually opt for a clean white finish, but they come in darker finishes and timbers too.
Top tip:
- Select wider profile blades to let in maximum view and light
