Window Treatment for the Autumn Weather

The weather is changing and so are the colors of the leaves. Yep, it’s that time of year again; it’s autumn. And with the cooler weather and beautiful colors, time has come to consider changing your window treatment for the season. Changing your window treatment is one of the easiest ways to update your décor to adapt to the changing colors of fall as well as to block out the temperature of the autumn chill. When you go to change your window treatments for the fall, here are a few things to consider.

Use Heavy Fabrics

You might want to consider a thicker drapery or working with a heavy fabric with lush textures for your autumn window treatment. Going with textured fabrics such as velvet, wool, or moiré will create a more comfortable look for the season and a thicker material will also help insulate the room once the temperature starts cooling down.

Consider Wood Blinds

Wood blinds are a great way to accomplish a sense of warmth in the room as the season starts to cool down. There are many different types of wood you can choose, from bamboo to cherry wood. No matter which you choose, the wood color will be a great base color for your fall look. Not only will the look of the wood add to a natural fall inspired color palate, but the thickness of the material will also insulate the room as the weather starts to chill.

Remember Your Color-Palate

Of course as you think about changing your window treatment, you will want to have a warm color palate that is inspired by the trees changing colors such as reds, oranges, and browns. Simply take a look outside for your color palate inspiration. Colors like burgundy, rust, forest green, and dark brown are perfect deep colors that will warm up the room for your autumn look. You can find window treatment with rich colored patterns in these warm shades or consider using solids accenting with new door pulls, valances, tiebacks and tassels in your color palate.
