Modern curtains design 2011 for windows

If your style is modern or contemporary and you've already chosen another main focal point ,
the windows become part of the "shell " of the room ; they become part of the background , blending into star element to shine .
You can choose from simple fabric draperies ; blinds made of paper , fabric , wood or metal ;
or no treatment , leaving the windows bare .
depending on your functional needs and the scale you've determined .
the color should match in hue or tone ( intensity ) with the surrounding walls for a clean , seamless look .
If your windows are the focal point in a modern setting . the treatment should be clean and simple . but there should be something about it that draws the eye .
You could use brilliant color in an otherwise neutral setting .
You might frame the windows with a pared - down , deconstructed version of a traditional treatment , such as a swag .
Or you could simply make the windows the focus of the room by your arrangement of the furniture and artwork.




















Modern Windows Treatment Ideas 2011



New Neutrals


Designer Lori Gilder says "charcoal and slate are the new neutrals and blend beautifully with the metallic trends." This darker neutral frames a window elegantly and adds a more sophisticated look to your room. Design by Genevieve Gorder.



Jewel Tones



Window treatments in jewel tones, which range from deep reds to subtle blues, are sophisticated and create the atmosphere of luxury in any space. Designer Jennifer Duneier says, "Jewel tones, like amethyst and turquoise, are popular mixed with soft metallics such as platinum or brushed nickel." Image Courtesy of Casa Fiora.



Stainless Steel




Not just a favorite for appliances anymore, stainless steel is making its way throughout the home. To incorporate this trend into your window treatments, designer Lori Gilder suggests threading stainless steel and other metallic curtain rods through simple eyelets at the top of panels to create a simple unadorned look. Design by Erinn Valencich.



Cheery Yellow


Brighten up a room with cheerful draperies. According to designer Lori Gilder, "Yellow epitomizes warmth and a sunny outlook toward the future.



Layer Shades


"Another trend is to layer shades," says Jennifer Duneier. "A blackout shade might be installed right next to the window with a sheer shade in front of it.



Metallics


"Metallic surfaces are back in vogue," says Lori Gilder. "Silver, bronze and gold metallic fabrics layered with sheers are making a grand appearance in living rooms and bedrooms. The simple layering of these metallics draped from a classic metal rod blends beautifully with the latest color trends.



Trim It Up


Personalize window treatments with decorative embellishments. Designer Jennifer Duneier uses trim to create custom-designed treatments. Tapes with shells or buttons attached to them are becoming more popular as well.



Natural Elements


Organic materials are bringing nature indoors. "It’s all about nature-inspired and eco-friendly materials and designs," says designer Lori Gilder. "It’s no longer a trend, but more of a philosophy in the evolution of design. Bamboo, matchstick blinds and natural woven shades layered with simple sheer linen panels create an elegant yet earthy sophistication in any space.



Let the Light In


One trend that's always in style is using window treatments that allow a lot of natural light into the space. Designer Jennifer Duneier suggests to "use simple panels of sheer fabrics to add warmth to the room but still let light through. Many fabric houses are making fabulous sheers in all colors, not just white or cream. They're also using great linen blends with more contemporary patterns. Design by Andreea Avram Rusu.

The curtains or blinds of a window can make or break the interior design of any site, whether home, office or even a restaurant. Curtains and blinds can make homes look sophisticated and comfortable feel. It is thus important that people have an understanding of the importance of choosing the right curtains or blinds for your windows.

To get the perfect curtain, you need to take hold of the fundamentals of bay windows. First things first, how did exactly the windows get its curve? A bay window is basically a set of three windows that had been joined together to form one big view.

The windows are set in an angle to form a concave, or a shallow opening space. When you have intended to initially include a window in the original plan of the house, architects usually place the angle at thirty to forty degrees, which could trick the eye to make the room look spacious and bigger.

The opening that the bay window creates allows more fresh air and light to come into the house. If you prefer to utilize the rest of the lot area for gardening, a bay window could be the perfect spot where you could relax your mind, drink coffee, read a book, or just to take a good look at your greens .
