Window treament color help?

Question by : Window treament color help?
I have a Caribbean teal blue color on my focus wall and the other ones are beige. I have a wall art piece that has red blue white black and purple in it. My comforter is black with accent pillows that are a teal looking blue. I need help on what color scheme would work good for the window treatments. I don’t know which one to focus on! thanks a bunch

Answer by Ariel Love
Since your room already has a bunch of colors, I say you go with white curtains. Your room scheme seems beachy. White curtains could help finish off the clean, a super clean look that matches with all your colors nicely and polishes it off with some elegance. But if you’d rather do a color then I think you should go with the teal blue color. It all really depends on what wall the window(s) are on. If they are on the blue one then I say white 100% but if they are on the beige walls the blue might be better because the white might clash! Good luck!

Problem with french doors window treatment?

Question by kar: Problem with french doors window treatment?
Hi, I have two french doors that are together. Only the right door opens. The left side does not. I have 30 inches of wall on the left side but none on the right side. I need to draw curtains only from the wall on the left. I would like to install grommet top drapes that I can draw for privacy at night. Can someone tell me what kind of rod I would need, and where to place it I have 12 inches from the ceiling to the top of the doors. Hope someone can advise me. Thanks

Have you considered using narrow-slat Venetian blinds that fasten at the bottom of the doors as well as the top? They can still be adjusted for privacy, but they don’t flap around. We have that arrangement on our French door and it works just fine. It has the advantage of allowing us to open the door slightly at night to let in fresh air, without a curtain billowing.

If you like the curtain look, but don’t want a loose curtain, you could hang a decorative curtain along the wall next to your French doors. It would not open out, but always be gathered up closed.

If this wouldn’t work for you, you could go ahead with your full curtain idea. I would suggest adding one of those clear plastic pull rods to the top of the open side of the curtain, so nobody has to grab the fabric and pull it out of shape or get it soiled.

Pointers and Considerations When Choosing and Buying Window Shutters

Are you having plans in remodeling your seemingly boring home or even purchasing a new one? Then you might possibly already thinking about window treatments. Windows are one of the most elegant and essential part of any home but they sometimes pose challenges that can prove really daunting to people who plan ahead for them and what to cover them with.

You ask yourself whether you go for blinds or even interior shutters. Most of the decision will ultimately depend upon your personal taste and preference. In any case that you haven’t put much thought with interior shutters then I believe it is about time that you did. These are some the pointers you should be thinking before doing the buying.

First thing to consider is budget:

How much money are you willing to dish out just to buy these window treatments? There are lots of other options to choose from that are cheap and up to date. However, you should go for cheaper alternatives in the event that you are on a tight and small budget. These will be probably made up of plastic or even vinyl but these however may prove not very resilient as their wooden counterparts. You should make both ends meet by making your purchases within your budget constraints, having said that, you should consider things like money, durability and longevity before making the purchase.

Next up would be health issues like being hypo-allergenic:

Do you have a family member that may be susceptible to such allergies?  Curtains and drapes trap tiny particles like dust that are not usually removed every day. Choosing interior window shutters might solve your problems regarding this.

Materials and Colors:

This will appeal to the person’s preference. These shutters come in different styles and colors giving people much option to choose from.

Custom Orders:

Many homes do have those old and big windows that may consider being covered with custom shaped shutters. Lots of companies do cater to these varying needs of clients.

In conclusion, you have to weigh in the different factors that are required to really be able to choose the right window treatments for your home.

What treatment I should take for my old door, window frames?

Question by Chad: What treatment I should take for my old door, window frames?
My doors and windows are all kinda natural maple wood color. Now they looks pretty old with a lot of dust. I want to clean them up, and apply some kinda transparent paint or something to make them look nice. I don’t want to apply some other color, because I do like the natural wood color. Can someone help me on what steps I should take, what type of paint, stain or other stuff I need to use?
Thanks.

Answer by Online Blinds
Hi!

The best thing to do with them in my view is to seal any knots, fill the cracks and holes, prime and paint them as per your wish.Choosing your paint wisely will determine how well it will last and wear. Whether to use latex or oil-based, alkyds or acrylics depends on the surface to be covered, the conditions it will face, and any base paint underneath.So select the paint type as per the requirements.

The alternate solution is you can go for the wooden blinds.Due to the comfort factor people are extensively using wooden blinds for their windows. The curtains are losing out in the race as they have to be regularly changed and cleaned. In terms of wooden blinds it has to be said that they require least cleaning.
