Deciding on window treatments for your home doesn’t seem difficult at first. But when you think about it, this small detail makes a pretty big impact on the overall vibe in the room. The difference between a striped cotton room darkening curtain and a washed linen roman shade can completely change the style of your space. But that shouldn’t scare you from experimenting with your window treatment choice. Differences in pattern, contrast, and materials are what make your room feel lived-in and thoughtful.

Whether your kitchen calls for cafe curtains; your guest room is the perfect place for linen shades; or your office decor is begging for tweed curtains, your window treatments should call back to the style, colors, and decor you’ve chosen in your space. The best window coverings will be that final touch that brings everything together. Explore some of the most stylish options we’ve found, and where each might work best for you in your own space, below.
