Window dressing options are aplenty for all DIY enthusiasts as there are many styles of curtains, shades, valances and other window treatments that can be created easily by homeowners, with little effort and minimal tailoring or crafting skills.
How to choose
window treatments
Those with a wide choice of fabric treatments in the room could do well to select a complementary window treatment or use a matching fabric. Simple fabric shades are a great way to tie in patterns and colors and are easy to make too. The use of
two of the same fabrics already featured in the space, be it left over material or new material, one option is to cut pieces from each one that are large enough to cover the windows, ensuring that the cut fabric is a bit larger to allow for taking in at the
seams.
Making your own window treatments
Begin by laying out one of the fabric pieces face up with the other, face down, ensuring the faces of the fabrics are together. Sew along the top edges and both sides and invert the shades right side out before
stitching along the bottom edges to close them. Ribbons can be pretty add-ons as hanging options instead of traditionally used hooks or channel beads.
A dramatically different window treatment that can be achieved in a matter of minutes is if you can hang a curtain rod
and then artistically drape scarves or lengths of luxuriant fabric over the rods, to give it a tiered look and voila! a lovely, no-sew window treatment is the attention grabber in your room.
Tab top curtains can be created for rooms where more privacy is required. Heavy
material is needed to construct these so that they fall well and in-tune with the width of the window and the desired length. Hem all sides to create a smooth edge and make the tabs by simply cutting out strips of fabric about eight inches long by four inches wide, folding
them in thirds lengthwise and sewing the edge down. For a neat finish, you may want to iron the tabs and ensure that the sewn edge is not visible when attaching the end of the tabs to the top of the curtains.
