Rooms: How to dress your windows for maximum effect - Dressing windows is notoriously difficult, and guest room windows come with their own challenges. There are obvious issues of privacy and light to face (I like SAIL barely there, but do not relish the thought of waking up with the first light of dawn every morning) and we might also have to deal with an awkward mansard roof windows, full length windows and bays. Fortunately, there are so many options available these days, you can be sure there is a sheet, panel, rolling shutter or blind to suit most shapes, sizes and window styles. Take a look at these examples, then make sure you choose the dressing fulfills all the functions needed to, and adds a huge burst of style to finish your boudoir.

Love your shutters
Full -length, wooden shutters will instantly instill a French romantic mood in every room. Hunting on old during recovery or eBay, or buy new and paint them yourself.
The white floors, neutral linens and stark white walls in this room create a rustic blank canvas, allowing components to shine in a contrasting color. For an elegant contrast, however, stick to vintage colors faded as dove gray, sage green or a nice eau-de-nil.

Soften fabric end
There is something billowing lengths of fine cotton or pure linen that can not be matched to the bedroom windows. The look is sweet without being insipid.
F Airly sheer fabrics are best suited for spaces that do not face east, as they will not block the strong rays of the morning. Choose washable fabrics that can be kept in perfect condition at home without the expense of professional whitening.

Keep careful with Roman shades
Roman blinds offer trim panels of fabric that tuck on the floor during the day. They can block the light from the windows when opened, but it is unlikely to be a problem in a bedroom. If it is, try to set them higher on the wall.
These blinds, pale translucent fabric infuse the room with soft light while protecting it from prying eyes, but Roman shades also offer the ability to add color and pattern to a neutral room . Full-length blinds for large windows may need to be tailored to meet your requirements.

Investing in flexible flaps
White wooden shutters are a classic element to any style of room, but for a flexibility, choose two levels, coffee -style shutters that open independently of each other, allowing you to better control the light. They also allow you to open a window for ventilation while preserving privacy. It is possible to buy ready-made components, but it is far better to have them custom-made for an intelligent result that should last for years.

Maximizing a picture window
It would be foolish to compete with a view like this, so all these curtains must do is fade quietly into the background. If you have a cherished view, select, long curtains or neutral sheers that will not stifle the room and can be pulled back as far as possible. When night falls and the seasons get a little cooler, you still have something to shoot through.

Warm velvet
There is no denying the cozy factor velvet curtains from floor to ceiling. The plush fabric offers not only a gorgeous glow, it is often thicker than the cotton and linen, to better keep the chills. The field and the heavy ruby reporting these curtains help create a sophisticated room that is supremely cocooning.

coat with lace
Call me an old romantic, but I like everything makeshift curtain. While a vintage lace panel nailed to the walls may not provide much in the way of warmth or privacy, the fairy tale charm of this idea is pure enough for me every time. Choose white or cream for a classic look, or try dying your lace in a pretty pastel or vibrant hue for a color panel.
