Spring is here and that means getting to open our windows again. Nothing beats letting in some fresh air and looking out at your view. Nothing is worse than framing that view with nothing, or worse, sheets. Do not put sheets on your windows. I'd rather you cover the window with construction paper than put sheets on your window. Please, just...no.
When it comes to real window treatments, the biggest mistake is not given them enough space. Just because your window is small doesn't mean your hang your curtains small. Depending on the wall and room, don't be afraid to hang them by the ceiling and double the width of the window. This will make the room seem more grand and frame the window like the piece of art that it is. Decorative rods are all the rage as well. Don't fall for the plain white curtain rod that take over your grandma's house; find something that is decorative and you! It is and easy pick me up to a room.
When considering tie backs, the options are limitless. These are like throw pillows, small and easy to change so have fun with them! My newest craze is using necklaces. I really like the bling of jewelry so I decided to use some fun short necklaces as my tiebacks rather than actual tie backs. You can use scarves, bracelets, paracord, fishing line, rope, or anything that will match your décor and look you are going for. OR, you can even forget the tie backs all together and tie a knot in your curtain and leave it at that. Have fun with it! Let your window treatment complement your space, not bring it down.
