Complete Window Fashions with Wood Blinds and Installation

Wood blinds are a gorgeous window treatment all on their own. Natural wood is a durable and sustainable material that adds warmth to a room, and blinds let you direct light exactly where you want it.

However, if you feel like your window fashions could use an extra something-something, you are in the right place. Pairing wood blinds with top treatments like matching high-quality wood cornices or window valances elevates your window treatments, creating a finished product you will enjoy for years.

Here’s how you can pair your wood window treatments with top treatments, plus a few more ways to elevate your blinds:

Adding Top Treatments to Blinds

When adding to your current window treatment, being intentional is key. That is, you want to select a cornice or valance that elevates your window rather than cluttering it, and that also achieves your functional goals.

Top treatments are excellent for hiding hardware, including drapery rods, and together they work to conceal unsightly hardware, enhance your window's proportions, or simply create a modern, built-in look that ties a room together.

Here are a few ways adding top treatments can enhance your wood blinds:

• Offers a Tidy Look: Addingvalances or cornices helps conceal headrails or mounting brackets, drawing the eye to the beauty of your blinds and not its hardware.
• Creates Cohesive Styles: Coordinating your blinds with the right top treatment can transform your window into an intentional design piece that elevates the rest of the room.
• Adds Structure: Installing top treatments helps provide a balance of warmth and structure for rooms that feature several soft styles, like carpeting, furniture, and upholstery.

Layering Blinds with Custom Drapery

The beauty of interior design is that there is more than one way to achieve your goals. For example, if you’re interested in enhancing your wood blinds but aren’t interested in top treatments, you might be interested in layering with Carole Fabrics™️ Custom Drapery. Available in over 4,000 modern designs, these drapes frame your blinds while offering even more light control and privacy.

Here are the benefits of layering blinds with custom drapery:

• Creates “Taller” Ceilings: Mounting drapery higher than the window frame and extending panels to the floor draws the eye upward, creating the illusion of taller ceilings and larger windows.
• Adds Softness: Pairing wood blinds with drapery adds a touch of softness if you have a lot of “hard” designs, like wood floors or furniture.
• Improves Acoustics: Combining thick wood slats with quality custom drapery improves interior acoustics and reduces outside noise pollution.
