Interesting Ideas For Window Treatments

In a country themed room, some ideas for interesting window treatments would include; handkerchiefs folded to triangles and connected together with a simple stitch, a country gingham tablecloth cut in half and draped across a rod, eyelet lace strips hung from a cafe rod, seed bags sewn together, and handfuls of hay or decorative grasses wrapped in twine strung together.

Any of these, combined with perhaps a basic white sheer or country eyelet plain curtain would add a wonderful finishing touch to the whole theme of a room.

In a family game room, some ideas for interesting window treatments would include; checker board fabric draped or cut into triangles, old mismatched game pieces transformed into curtain pins or tiebacks, pictures of the kids at various ages transferred onto cloth at a local printing store then cut out to follow the profile of their face and stitched together to create a linear collage, and scraps of favorite t-shirts and blankets long since reduced to shreds sewn together and draped across a rod.

In a laundry room some ideas would include; mismatched socks tied in knots at various heights and loosely tied or sewn dangling from a rod, faded sheets re-dyed bright colors and draped from the window corners or a tieback, a faded sheet tie-dyed a rainbow of colors and ballooned between bright rubber bands, baby’s old bright colored undershirts sewn together at the sleeves and strung across the top of the window.

These could also be used as a curtain to separate the laundry area from the kitchen or utility room. Any of these ideas for interesting window treatments would brighten up even the smallest laundry room and perhaps allow you to enjoy doing laundry again.
