    The Finishing Touch: Window Treatments!
           ...featuring Connie Huss

Window treatments are the finishing touch to a beautiful room. They can be romantic, restful, elegant or very exquisite and decorative. There are virtually limitless possibilities for your windows. One needs to start with the basics first. A successful window design uses shades for light control, draperies, toppers, alone or in a combination to achieve a beautiful finished look that is both pleasing and appropriate for the setting. Window coverings should be practical in a sense that they would be needed for privacy or energy saving, yet aesthetically pleasing. One needs to start with the basics first, which of course is the window itself. The type of window and style can determine what type of treatment can be used. There are mini blinds, honeycombs, wood blinds and vertical treatments. Once this issue is addressed, the embellishment starts with the overlays. Think of the treatment as the finish to the room, a pop of color or a hint of sheer, large-scale pattern or very serene print. Layers offer depth while fringe, bullion and tassels add a touch of elegance. Play up a child's room with a whimsical cornice or add that warmth to the den with a deep rich fabric. Use a decorative rod to add more dimensions to the treatment. Be creative and always ask a professional for help especially when it comes to doing a final measurement for those custom fitting blinds and top treatments! Have fun and enjoy the finished design!
