Something about all of this oppressive heat makes me want to lighten up things around the house. Especially my window treatments. So here are eight great options to give you a some lighter weight alternatives that don't feel heavy or muggy!

So there you go! So question for you - do you switch up your window treatments for warmer or cooler seasons? Or do you stick with the same thing year round?
We have the Roman shades from JCP and we get compliments on them all. the. time. Great price, too!
ReplyDeleteLove all those options!! I adore bamboo shades. I had them all over my old house and i can't wait to add some here too!
ReplyDeleteI don't change out window treatments, but I do change pillows and remove or add back throws. Thanks so much for coming by. I noticed you live where my son and daughter in law and grands live.
ReplyDeleteGreat day for this post because I am attempting my FIRST EVER window treatments today! I have never touched my windows in my life and I'm finally ready to start decorating them. Now that you mentioned changing for different seasons, that freaks me out! I'm just happy to finally add some curtains and get rid of the old home owner's 80's crap. I love light coming in, so I'm going to do a semi-sheer tab top with a creative little twist. Hoping that twist works! I'll see later today!
ReplyDeleteHi Jess! Just last week I started feeling the same way. I've ordered a lovely red-checked fabric (couldn't find what I wanted at the local fabric store)and plan on making a balloon treatment for my kitchen window. Got the pattern years ago out of a Laura Ashley decorating book. Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the bamboo shades, but I prefer them in the lighter colors. I do have to say they are a pain to clean, even with a vaccuum.
ReplyDeleteMy treatments stay the same year round...unless I get bored and want to permanently switch them. ;) Love bamboo roman shades!! Thanks for the visit today! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the grommet panels from, of all places, JCP! They just scream summer.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done a dang thing in my house :( I spend 3 days a week @ my mom's. I did switch her pillows & accessories out to a light turquoise from brick red. Just that made a cooler difference. Love the idea of using window tx's though! Will have to think on this for next summer - maybe I can snatch some panels on sale!
ReplyDeleteExperimenting with different kinds of fabric and patterns helps when you are trying to decide which window treatments are better. The window treatments here are great choices. I personally like the bamboo shades because summer is almost here, and I want our place to look more tropical and have that summery vibe.
ReplyDeleteBeat the heat with something light and cool. Sheer white and ice blue are the perfect colors for the summer. As for your question, I love changing window treatments along with the changing of the season. They gave a house a new atmosphere, and that’s something I look forward to.
