Six Ideas for Decorating Bedroom Windows

If you're staring at your bedroom windows and wondering what to do with them, how to dress them, or how to make them more functionally and stylistically attuned to your household needs, this blog is for you. Our design team at The Drapery Show worked this month to develop six unique bedroom window ideas to revive and elevate this space in your home using Hunter Douglas bedroom window treatments.

Add Greenery

Nothing enlivens a room like adding plant life, which is why adding greenery is our first bedroom window idea for California homes. Low-maintenance plants like snake plants add textural interest, oxygen, color, and serenity to bedroom decor, even if you don't have a green thumb.

Try Stained Glass in the Bedroom

We love the soft color and elegant stained glass style for bedroom windows, but that can be a pricey addition. Try stick-on stained glass panels to get the look of stained glass without the price tag. Since they are removable, you can try several different styles in your bedroom until you find the perfect design for the space.

Elevate with Custom Elements

Add custom elements that individualize style to make bedroom decor feel more personalized. Try adding a custom cornice to your bedroom shades for bedroom window treatment ideas that elevate the standard to the tailored. Cornices give your window treatment a final look, with wood or fabric-wrapped style options available.

Coordinate Style with Matching Fabric Elements

When decorating a bedroom window, one way to incorporate and ingrain style into existing decor is through coordinating fabric elements. For example, you could use the fabric from your bedroom drapery to create custom elements like throw pillows, bedding, or cornices.

Keep Sleep in Mind

Of all the activities that happen in the bedroom, one of the most important is, of course, sleeping. Whenever contemplating different bedroom window treatment ideas, think about how that shade will affect the sleeping conditions in your bedroom. Duette® Cellular Shades, for example, can elevate sleeping conditions by helping homeowners control temperatures in the bedroom with their insulating design. They can decrease sound with their sound-absorbing cellular air pockets. Blocking sunlight also helps create a darker interior more suitable for sleeping.

Use Natural Sunlight

Sunlight can have a tremendous opening effect on bedroom ambiance, but only if used smartly. In bedrooms, you can balance the need for a spacious feel against the need for privacy. Upgrading to a Top-Down/Bottom-Up operating system for bedroom window treatments is one easy way to achieve this balance. The Top-Down/Bottom-Up style allows you to block the lower half of a window for privacy and open your treatments from the top down for light-loving decor ideally suited for bedroom needs. The Hunter Douglas Top-Down/Bottom-Up system is available on a range of window treatments, including Duette® Cellular Shades, Vignette® Roman Shades, Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades, and Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, so you can still find personalized style with this advanced operating system.
