There are three key factors in selecting great window treatments for your room or space.

1. What is the functional aspect of the windows?

Of course, letting in natural light is the obvious answer, but think about these points as well. Do the windows let in an abundance of natural light? Is that what you desire in this room?

Do you need an element of privacy, or to completely block out the light (and curious eyes) in this space? Maybe there is a phenomenal view that you want to highlight. Answering these questions will lead into some useful window treatment ideas for you.

2. Do the windows in this space serve as a focal point?

If you're not sure what that means, here is another way to consider the question. When you walk into this space, what are your eyes drawn to? If your answer is the beautiful shape and/or architectural elements of the windows, then they serve as a focal point and their beauty should be accentuated.

Conversely, if the first thing you notice as you enter this space is the small, oddly shaped, or other aspects of the windows that may less than complementary, this is also an important consideration and will affect the ideas for window treatments that you will develop.

3. What other elements exist in the space that may affect your window treatment ideas and plan?

For example, what color are the walls? Is there painted trim around the windows, or perhaps wood stained trim? Are the windows deep set with beefy windowsills (4 to 6 inches in depth)?

Are there other architectural elements in the space that define the style, such as soaring ceilings, fireplace, crown molding, built in bookcases, wood flooring, etc.
