One aspect of choosing window treatments that is often overlooked is how the window coverings will look from the outside of the home. Since the front facade of your home usually will feature windows from several rooms, it is important to make the outside views coordinate with the other windows in the home. Lining colors should be the same for all window treatments. Keep the exterior view consistent, using the same style of shades or shutters across the front of the house. Inside the home, motorized window coverings, such as shades or panels, can be used on very tall windows in order to control light and privacy. Arched windows are difficult, since top arches can not have shades that raise or lower in the arched space. This video gives tips on how to coordinate your home decor items with your window treatments to bring the color down into the room from very tall windows. It also discusses various window treatment styles and options to dress your windows with shades, draperies, and panels.
