How to Mix and Match Window Treatments

Whether you’re looking for the functionality of added privacy and light control, or you just want to layer in some patterns or pops of color, it’s great to mix and match your window treatments. Here at The Shade Store, we have 12 custom products, and over 1,200+ premium materials to choose from, so the combinations are endless! Keep reading for our tips on how to mix and match window treatments.

LAYERING LIGHT

One of our favorite window treatment combinations is layering a blackout Shade with a light filtering Shade or Drapery panel. Not only does this create a beautiful finished look, but it also allows you to carefully control light and privacy, depending on the time of day or your personal preference. This is a great option for bedrooms and other commonly used living spaces.

PLAYING WITH PATTERN

Want to bring some excitement to your windows, but scared of going too bold? Pair a patterned shade with a more subdued solid, and you’ll achieve the perfect balance! We have beautiful Roller Shades for every décor style, including designs by Nate Berkus and The Novogratz!

TWO TEXTURES

If a more neutral look is your go-to, try mixing your textures instead. We carry stunning Woven Wood Shades in four distinct styles and over 90 natural, bamboo, and grass materials. These shades are beautiful and versatile – they look lovely paired with Roller Shades, Solar Shades, or Drapery! Woven Woods are the perfect way to bring in some dimension, while still keeping your window scheme calm and neutral. This allows you to go bold with the rest of the space, too!
