The Pros and Cons of Layering Shades
Many homeowners see windows as the most important asset of the home. Windows are entry ways for light and allow your interior to be naturally illuminated during the day time. While natural light is a welcome addition to any residence, a strong Texas sun can quickly heat up your home. Layering window shades a great way to adorn your windows with style and keep hot air at bay during a summer afternoon in Texas.
At Window Design Gallery, we carry a variety of shades that can be mixed and matched to beautify your windows. Layering shades can add a unique look to your home’s interior design, but there are many different factors to consider before investing in layered shades.
The Pros of Layering Shades for Added Depth and Distinction
Layering different types of window shades can be a great way to add dimension to your windows. Mixing and matching different patterns, textures, colors, and shade styles can help you achieve a creative look that you will help you enjoy your home’s interior for years to come.
Roman shades are one of the best styles of shades for a layering project. They can easily be paired with other styles to create an interesting visual window effect. Many homeowners enjoy coupling Roman shades with a roller shade for added privacy and personality. You can select a patterned Roman shade and accompany it with a solid color roller shade or vice versa.
Roman shades can also be paired with cellular shades. Not only will this make your windows more appealing, but it will also add a softness to the room while providing insulation from the outdoor elements. If your goal is to add texture, try marrying a Roman shade to a woven shade. With the rich folds of Roman shades and the natural fibrous textures of woven shades, your window will have a unique personality that enhances the overall look of your home.
Why Layered Shades Might Not Be Right for You
Depending on your taste and style preference, layering shades may not be the best option for you. Certain homeowners prefer a cleaner, minimalistic look, and others find the appearance oflayered shades to be too overstated. If this sounds like you, you may want to forgo layered shades and opt for a single type of shade.
If you do choose to go the layering route, closely consider the patterns, textures, and colors you are intermingling. Keep in mind that less is usually more mixing and matching shade designs. If you’re new to window treatments and you need help selecting the right shades for your interior, find a consultant to guide you through the selection process.
