How do I decorate a living room window?
Sun ShadeMake a sun shade the first “layer” of your window décor. If your living room faces the sun, the shade will keep the room cool and protect the other window treatments and furniture from the effects of the sunlight.DrapesAdd drapes over the shades. Consider a light, lacy material or a gauzy fabric for the drapes. These fabrics are more transparent than shades but offer you a bit of privacy when the shades are up. Look for a drape in a complementary or contrasting color if you’d like to add a bit of visual interest to your living room window. For example, you might choose a burgundy curtain with a soft yellow drape.Curtains and ValancesInvest in curtains and valances. These items—particularly the valance—function similarly to a picture frame by “telling” the eye what the window’s focal point is. If you have a window seat below the window, include pillows with fabrics that complement the curtains.
