Windows are one of the most important elements in a room, but they’re also one of the trickiest to get right. A one-size-fits-all approach to framing your view rarely works: blinds need to be custom-made, curtains have to be hemmed and hung ‘just so’, and the accompanying hardware often has to be individually tweaked. Get your windows wrong, and the whole space ends up looking awkward or slightly bare, or, at the other end of the spectrum, too fussy and a little overdone.
For modern window treatments, take your inspiration from countries like Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. “Scandinavians are, quite simply, light-worshippers,” says Kai Price, co-founder of Att Pynta. “Their interiors are designed to maximize and celebrate natural light, rather than obstruct it.” Scandinavian design is so often celebrated for its pared-back aesthetic, with the calm mood directly influenced by the region’s light and landscape.
