When it comes to designing that perfect interior, many people tend to overlook one integral part of the design – the window coverings. Good old fashioned drapes are well and good, but you have to carefully consider all of your options when your interior style is leaning more towards the modern or contemporary design setting. There are quite a few options to consider while you’re searching for the perfect complementary window treatment. You could go for blinds, shutters, curtains or even shades. Each of these categories have so many designs of their own that it could be challenging to make the final choice. Below, let’s look at some of the options available in the market and what styles they complement.
- Sheer curtains
When your interior design lies somewhere between casual contemporary and modern rustic, then sheer curtains are the way to go. Made from breezy fabrics these can lend an air of refreshing uniqueness to your design. They will also filter out the light and create decadent patterns within your interior space.
