Window Coverings Design


f you are currently in the process of decorating your home’s interior, you already know that it can be an overwhelming and expensive task. In fact, most items for your new home will have to be pre-manufactured and installed by professionals. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were certain things you could cut corners on? Well, you’ll be happy to know that if you are handy with a sewing machine, you can save big money by making your own window coverings. In this article, we’ll give you the information you need in order to design and make your own window coverings.
The wonderful thing about making your own window coverings is that you control all aspects of the project, from patterns to lengths and everything in between. The first determination you will have to make is the pattern and color of fabric you intend to use. For starters, you will probably want to go with two coordinating colors that will provide a layered look. You can certainly go as bold as you like, but it is usually recommended that you keep your window coverings as plain as possible. Soft colors such as white and light blue match perfectly with nearly any valance you plan on using, and these colors also allow for sunlight to enter the room for a soothing glow. In comparison, dark colors such as forest green or black create an uninviting atmosphere
