Tip 1: Match Your Window Treatments to Your Walls

The great thing about choosing window treatment colors is that you typically don't have to start from scratch. Your wall colors can guide you toward the color scheme that works best for a seamless look. This tip works especially well in minimalist, modern, and traditional spaces where you want the windows to blend naturally into the room.

Here are a few examples of how to bring this tip to life:

Choose a slightly different hue within the same color family to create contrast without clashing.
Pick colors that match your walls as closely as possible to make small rooms feel larger.
Take inspiration from the trim around your walls to coordinate your window treatments with existing details for a cohesive look.

Tip 2: Decide on the Mood of a Room with Color Contrast

Color contrast is an easy way to set a room's mood, and your window treatments are the perfect opportunity to put this tip into practice. Before choosing a color, ask yourself how you want to feel when you walk into a room, whether that's calm and neutral or energizing and bright. Our team of experts is happy to help you find the right solutions during your consultation.

You can set the tone of a room by:

Selecting a shade two tones lighter or darker than your walls for a bold yet cohesive look.
Using dark hues such as black or navy blue in otherwise bright or neutral rooms to draw the eye and serve as a visual anchor.
Selecting crisp whites or warm neutrals to maximize incoming sunlight and create a bright, open feel.

Tip 3: Remember Natural Light

Choosing window treatment colors also goes beyond aesthetic color matching. It can be a practical choice as well. For example, the amount and direction of natural light in a room can have a big impact on how your window treatment colors look throughout the day. Colors can also look warmer or cooler depending on the time of day and the direction your windows face, so it's worth seeing a few color options in the actual space before making your pick.

Here's how we'd select colors based on natural lighting:

Choose lighter colors for rooms with limited natural light to keep the space feeling open and bright.
Select deeper colors for rooms with strong sunlight to balance a bright space.
Consider the direction your windows face since north-, south-, east-, and west-facing light can change how colors appear throughout the day.
