Here’s a guide to choosing the right window treatment for small rooms, as prepared by our Los Angeles shades, blinds, and drapery installation experts.
Streamlined Aesthetics
We recommend going for a streamlined aesthetic with smaller rooms. Try to choose window treatments that aren’t too bulky or layered. Small rooms aren’t ideal for heavier drapes that pool down, or heavy drapes that are layered over other sheer or shaded materials – as this can provide somewhat too much of a bold aesthetic. We recommend minimalism – like custom shades or blinds that can be tailored to provide the perfect level of light control.
Color Selection
Many people prefer lighter colors for smaller rooms,a s they make the room look bigger. Light color window treatments – especially when sheer – allow lots of light into a room so it appears less dark. Dark colors, if that is your preference, will work fine too – and provide a classy flair, rather than making a room seem smaller, as is a common misconception.
Where should curtains be hung in small rooms?
Sill-length curtains should be hung at the top of the window in a smaller room, which makes sure that the curtains only take up as much space as they need to. Curtains should also be hung as hgh and wide as possible – near the ceiling ideally – especially if the window is small. This can make the window seem much bigger, and the ceiling seem much higher.
There’s a million ways to customize windows in a small space to make it seem more comfortable and appealing. Our team of Inland Empire area window treatment experts can help you determine the very best application for your shades, blinds, or drapery for your small room.
