How often have you looked at new horizontal or vertical window treatments (maybe even ones you already own yourself...) and thought that maybe they looked too hard, or a bit more angular on their own than you'd like? Fear not. The answer is much easier than you think.
You want the convenience, light control and excellent privacy that hard window fashions afford, but something about all those parallel and perpendicular lines can detract from the formality of your comfortable room and beautiful décor. Add "soft" draperies to "hard" blinds or shades, or vice versa, and you'll have beautiful and utilitarian window décor perfection!
Combining "soft" fabric swags, jabots or padded, fabric covered cornices to the industry's most flexible "hard" window fashions can be like having your cake and eating it too!
Soft treatments "over" hard ones, like cellular shades and popular horizontal or vertical blinds, can complement each other while augmenting the more formal décor of rooms that may require it. Consider combining soft and hard treatments in Living, Dining and Bed Rooms, and really anyplace light control and a touch of elegance make sense. Your windows AND your home will benefit from the marriage of hard and soft window treatments. Softer edges and the best in light control will be the happy result!

Window Treatment can add warmth and personality to your home. You can transform the appearance of any room with little expense and time. Here are some basic tips to help you choose the best window treatment. You'll need to consider four main things when buying window treatments: Function, privacy, light control, and style. Some areas of your room may require more light control, privacy, or ventilation. Hard window treatments, including shades and blinds, offer the most control over light. Soft window treatments, such as curtains and drapes, effectively trap heat and block noise.Virginia window treatments
