Windows are notoriously overlooked in interiors — seen as all function, no form. But the truth of the matter is that they are so much more than that. Whether roller shade or layered drapery, your choice of covering can seriously elevate your space... or seriously drag it down if you opt for an outdated window treatment.
It's not necessarily that curtains are out of style, but certainly some styles are. And not paying enough attention to it? That's never a good look. "The window is a vertical canvas that can frame a view, add grandeur, texture, and complement the architecture," explains interior designer Alison Downey of DOWNEY. "Homeowners are now realizing how much character and warmth this element can bring, and designers are heeding the call."
