Window Treatments For Dining Rooms

Dining rooms are a location in your home where you and your family can gather and enjoy each other over meals. Dining rooms are typically for formal dining, with the family sitting around a table. If your dining room has a window, the right window treatment can add a touch of ambiance to your dining area.








Plantation Shutters


Plantation shutters look terrific in a dining room. These window treatments are very elegant and sought-after by most potential homeowners. If plantation shutters are present in your living room and other areas of your home, having them in your dining area can create a seamless flow throughout your home. Plantation shutters are available in a variety of colors, and many manufacturers and installation companies will custom paint your shutters to match the decor in your home. The most popular plantation shutter colors are the same color as the trim in your home, or a wood finish.


Roman Shades








Roman shades are simple and elegant. They also provide privacy when needed, and let light in when wanted. Classic roman shades have overlapping folds when closed and flat roman shades are smooth when closed. These window treatments are made out of a variety of fabric. A seamstress can easily make custom roman shades using the fabric of your choice. For instance, you can reupholster the seats in your formal dining room chairs and have roman shades designed to match.


Curtains or Draperies


Curtains and draperies are two of the most common window treatment used in interior design. These window treatments can work along with custom blinds or plantation shutters to add color and an extra element of privacy to any room. There are several fabric options for curtains or draperies, from sheer lace panels to heavy custom upholstery. Curtains work well in dining rooms because they can add a splash of color in a room where there usually isn't much in terms of decor. Choose a color scheme that compliments the color of your wall and the tone in the wood of your dining room table and you will be very pleased with the end result.
