Layering Window Treatments to Support Aesthetics & Wellness

By Lanada Chanel Duncan

While it can be challenging to decide which treatments to apply to windows in your home, the role of curtains and shades is very important to your ability to enjoy your living spaces the way you want and deserve. With the increased popularity of layered treatment looks, choosing the right window coverings means taking on a few considerations for how you want them to function.

Layering Window Treatments for Aesthetics & Wellness

From: @rumeysameteakbay

1. Adding Texture and Improving Acoustics

Thoughtfully considered window treatments can add texture to a space and improve your indoor acoustics. Certain textiles absorb excess noise and can make a difference in how calm your surroundings feel.

· Thick velvet curtains – work extremely well in media rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, or rooms with large open spaces where sounds tend to bounce around.

· Natural linen curtains – contribute to both visual and auditory calm because of their softness and light airy aesthetic, especially in modern spaces.

Styling Tip: For a subtle look of luxury, use curtains to add softness and texture to a space. They’re also perfect for creating a sense of warmth, drama and coziness. Shades on the other hand, are ideal for contemporary, modern spaces where you want to present a more streamlined, minimalistic look. However, combining the two ensures you’ll get a layered look that’s magazine-worthy (i.e. woven shade with a flowing linen curtain).

Wellness Tip: Reducing noise pollution in your home can significantly improve your focus, relaxation and sleep efficiency.

2. Outdoor Spaces & Nature Connectedness

An area previously often forgotten, outdoor spaces are definitely a part of your wellness-focused home space. Adding outdoor curtains to your patio or deck helps transform your home’s outdoors into an enjoyable private retreat.

· TWOPAGES’ Heck Solid Acrylic Outdoor Curtains are water and fade resistant and add both beauty and function to an outdoor retreat space.

· Whether you want to create a shaded outdoor dining area, reading nook, or space or entertaining friends, outdoor curtains add softness, coziness, and the perfect ingredient for you to spend time outdoors connecting with nature.

Wellness Tip: Creating an outdoor space is the perfect way to spend more time outdoors at home where you may feel more comfortable at ease. Nature connections have been linked to lowering stress and improving wellbeing, so don’t underestimate the power of a great outdoor living space.

3. Energy Efficiency Needs

It may be important to consider the area in which you live when deciding on your window treatments. If you live in an area with extreme heat or cold conditions, the type of treatments you use could have a huge impact on your ability to enjoy your home. Insulated or thermal curtains provide temperature control by helping to block cold drafts in winter and heat gain in summer. Shades, particularly cellular ones, are more energy-efficient, trapping air in the cells to create a layer of insulation.

Sustainability/Wellness Tip: If wellness and eco-consciousness matter to you in design, look for shades made from recycled materials or curtains made with natural fabrics like organic cottons or linens.

4. Maintenance & Cleaning

Having pets or several high-traffic areas in your home could mean you’ll been washing or dry-cleaning curtains often. Keeping this in mind could save you a lot of time, money and trouble. Most shades can be easily wiped down or require less maintenance with dusting and vacuuming.

Styling Tip: Using shades that are moisture-resistant will be a better choice over fabric curtains that absorb humidity if you’re considering treatments in your kitchen or bathroom.

Final Thoughts:

With so much to consider when choosing your window treatments, it will prove helpful to remember the benefits that layering offers. In addition to providing more flexibility, layering treatments could serve as the ultimate wellness-centered solution because you have more control over natural light, privacy, and ambiance all at once. When your window treatments work in harmony with your lifestyle and design aesthetic, they really do help your home become more than just a living space for your to enjoy.

ABOUT WRITER

Great shades!

We love our Twopages Cinnamon Natural Jute Bamboo Woven Shade. The true color is a bit darker than photos depicted online but I got the sample booklet and anticipated that. I do really like it.

Amazing Workmanship and Embroidered Trim!

Two Pages has upped their game. My drapes came in a lovely branded zipper bags with a lovely message inside. Delivery was so quick! I have over a dozen curtains in my home from Two Pages. I recently upgraded my Isabella Paper White curtains in my living room to Isabella Paper White with R31 Trim. Oh my goodness- GORGEOUS!!! Firstly, my original Paper White drapes had a blue tinge to them, a very stark white. Which was fine, but I don’t know if they changed the sourcing, but the Paper White colour is now a lovely True clean white that is more soft, I LOVE the white. The R31 trim sample that I ordered in advance, also matched the trim tape on the curtains. Customer service was good to confirm with my enquiry that the sample did indeed match, as the website colour depicted was a bit different. It is a stunning sky blue (not aqua like the website picture). Moreover the workmanship and specifically how the tape was sewn onto the drape, was straight and aligned nicely with the thread. I was nervous when I ordered, because I saw a review where you could see that the sewing had gone outside of the lines and looked sub par; but I can assure you, the trim tape is sewn on beautifully. I plan to order Jawara Pink with Q21 or K61 next; which will make it 20 pairs of drapes from Two Pages that I own, LOL. The trim tape itself is such good quality, wide and stunningly embroidered. They rival designer named ones. I WISH I could order the trim tape itself so that I can add it to a throw pillow and at the bottom of my slip covered dining chairs, to coordinate the rooms. My style is Modern French Country I would say. Thank you Two Pages for my exquisite drapes

Excellent curtains

I ordered the custom Liz linen curtains for my living room and dining room. Got the lightest liner as recommended by customer service because I was worried about fading of the curtain. Color is burlywood birch. They are beautiful curtains. The hook thats included makes them adjustable in height so you can make them longer or shorter as needed. Will definitely order again.
