Vinyl Windows For Better Looking Rooms
Vinyl windows can make a home look more promising and you can save cash while at it. They accent windows and add flair and style. Radiant heat from the sun is less when high performance glass is being utilized, so protecting the room from the scorching heat with the use of heavy or lined window treatments is so yesterday.
Use window treatments in the bathroom for privacy and so it can provide with a less stark appearance. Most significantly, opt for materials that could endure high humidity from bath and shower use. Try going for water-resistant curtains, shades or shutters that you can put in the laundry or cleaned with minimal effort to keep build-up of dust or mildew at bay. Use interior light sources for brightening the room, instead of relying on the covered windows for sunlight.
Create an outstanding view and make the landscape or ocean as the focal point of the living room using vinyl windows. Window treatments must not block the view, but improve it. Sheer curtains under draperies with tieback curtains will blend with the overall décor of the room. To create a more open look, hang swags overtop the windows and allow them to drape down the sides. This is particularly ideal for bay windows and large open windows areas. A double jabot will help you achieve a similar look for a small or narrow window.
When it comes to bedroom windows, privacy and décor are the two main focal points. Opt for short curtains, long draperies, vertical blinds or any type of shades to decorate the window. Any of the ones mentioned can be opened or closed easily from day to night to provide privacy and regulation of light. A layered look of shades or blinds under the curtains or drapes with a tieback will cover all purposes. A basic tapestry or eclectic set-up of beads or wood is ideal for teenagers or children looking for some pizzazz.

My bedroom has an east-facing sliding door. How do I block out all the light?
Question by : My bedroom has an east-facing sliding door. How do I block out all the light?
There is a balcony outside and I am thinking of building a vertical sunshade of some kind to help block the sun. Would I be better off doing this or spending more on inside window treatments? The heat is absolutely astonishing. Top floor of a double A-frame.

I purchased room-darkening curtains from J.C. Penny’s and they don’t darken good at all. So I purchased another set of curtains and put another curtain rod up. Now I have two curtains in one window and it blocks out the light and all that hot sun. You could still build a sun blind of some sort if you wish, and have curtains too. You would probably only need one set of curtains if you have the sun blind tho. Good luck.

In January a lot of department stores have nice sales on linens and drapery, but a simple solution would be to use sheets they can be found fairly cheap you need to get top sheets. I use sheets for drapes in two bedrooms,and they look nice. Might take four sheets per window with your wide windows if you cannot sew you can glue them together.

I have a very small bedroom. Other than mirrors what are some ways to make it appear larger? What colors help?
Question by Casey’s mom: I have a very small bedroom. Other than mirrors what are some ways to make it appear larger? What colors help?
Help! Right now it is carpeted (ugly) but I don’t know what’s under it. That would definitely have to be replaced. There’s boring wallpaper which also has to go. I don’t know the square footage, but the room is oblong shaped with 2 average sized windows, one on the south wall the other on the east. The north wall is narrow, the west has a tiny closet, blank wall space then the doorway. I don’t want bland white or off-white walls. I’m not afraid of color, I just don’t know which colors, textures, paint finishes, window treatments, floor coverings etc. are optimal and which should be avoided. I can’t afford to hire a designer so your input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Consider these ideas:
Paint the walls a light color (check out behr.com for Lion, Clair de Lune). Then buy a quart of the same color in gloss, and paint vertical stripes (you can use masking tape to keep them straight, or free hand them for a more casual look).
Also, white crown mold around the top may draw attention upward, making the room feel taller. And, actually painting the ceiling a color can make it seem like more of an extension of the walls–adding perceived volume.
Go with lightweight, sheer window coverings that let lots of light in. If possible, mount them inside the extension jambs instead of on the window casing or on the wall.
Part of the challenge will be to keep the furniture from overwhelming the room. Keep the furniture to scale so there is space around the furniture.
And, consider whether the trim in the room should be painted a contrasting color (like white) or if it should be close to the wall color. White trim can create a visual border around the room, whereas trim that’s closer to the wall color might create more visual continuity.
Good luck.

Can someone help me with window treatment ideas for a bedroom window with vertical blinds?
Question by noelle1821: Can someone help me with window treatment ideas for a bedroom window with vertical blinds?
I will have to get measurements, but I have a window in my bedroom, which is a pretty large size, but has vertical blinds and I’m trying to figure out ideas for curtains/window treatments to ‘pretty’ up the space.

Answer by ClicketyClack
Only mini-blinds or vertical blinds will give you the options of the window glass being fully or partially exposed whenever you want and in an easy fashion. If you want to merely add curtains but retain the blinds for privacy, then you could get a set of double curtain rods. Put a fancy valance on the outer rod and coordinating sheer curtains or heavier slub silk or velvet curtains on the inner rod. When you draw them closed, they would cover the blinds but when they’re left at the sides, the blinds are exposed and you can open them to let in full or partial light. Good luck!! : P

You can use any style you like. The arched part isn’t covered, so any type will work.
