Stylish Window Treatments for Small Rooms near Peoria, IL

When it comes to window treatments for small rooms or spaces, keep the phrase “simple and neat” in mind. That's because simple, neat window treatments work best in small spaces where they can complement but not overwhelm decor. This does not mean that window treatments for small rooms cannot be dynamic or design forward, but rather the functional style and operating mode of some types of window treatments simply make them more ideal in situations where space is tight. Three of the best window treatments for small rooms that are both functional and stylish include plantations shutters, roller shades, and drapery.

Plantation shutters are the epitome of simple, neat window treatments with their clean lines and uncomplicated operating system (either a tilt rod for manual operation or PowerView® Automation for motorized shutters). Aesthetically plantation shutters have a classic feel and give the space they’re in a polished look. There are also a variety of plantation shutters on the market today made with different louver sizes and materials, so homeowners can customize their plantation shutters to best suit their lifestyle and home. Hunter Douglas has three styles of plantation shutters - all of which are carried by SunGard Window Fashions Peoria. Heritance® Hardwood Shutters are classic plantation shutters made from 100% real hardwood from either basswood or poplar. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are plantation shutters made from a trademark vinyl material especially designed to protect against the harmful UV rays of the sun. And finally, NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters which unite the classic design of the Heritance® Hardwood Shutters and the durability of the Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters in a window treatment best suited for active households.

Roller shades are another great window treatment for small rooms since they can be mounted to the inside of the window frame and thus take up no additional space in the room. They operate in a straightforward manner with the material rolling around a top header when the window treatment is open. This provides an almost completely uninhibited view out the window that can help make small rooms feel more open and spacious. Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades are available in numerous materials including natural weaves, bold prints, and a rainbow of colors that make using roller shades as window treatments for small rooms both functional and customizable to your individual style. Hunter Douglas also has hybrid roller shades that can take the functionality of this window treatment to the next level. One such window covering is the Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shade, which brings the energy efficiency of cellular honeycomb shades to the realm of roller shades. Finish the look with the addition of a top piece like a window valance or cornice, which not only makes the window treatment look polished it also draws the eye up elongating the feeling of height in smaller rooms.

Lastly, when considering different window treatments for small rooms don’t neglect drapery, like Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ Drapery. Though this more dramatic window coverings is seen often in larger spaces, when designed appropriately it can also work in smaller spaces. For small rooms use drapery that hangs floor to ceiling, as opposed to just covering the window itself, to add the illusion of height to the room. You’ll also want to select a fabric in a shade similar to but not exactly matching your wall color so the drapery will add depth and dimension to the interior design without clashing with or overwhelming the rest of the room.
