5+ Ideas for Farmhouse Window Treatments
Looking for farmhouse window treatments? Whether you live in a character-rich old farmhouse or want to incorporate the warm, inviting farmhouse style into your sleek modern home, you have a lot of choices for farmhouse window treatments.
Creating the right farmhouse look for your home is about more than just choosing the right window treatment product; it’s also about choosing the right material, color and pattern. Before you dive into inspiring examples of traditional and modern farmhouse window treatments, first learn more about what the farmhouse style is.
What Is Farmhouse Style?
The farmhouse aesthetic style can be broken down into two main categories: Traditional farmhouse style and modern farmhouse style. Each share characteristics that make them distinctly farmhouse-inspired, but how they express those characteristics varies.
Traditional Farmhouse Style
The traditional farmhouse style is the original farmhouse aesthetic, which champions practicality, simplicity and a cozy, comfy charm. Vintage pieces, plaid patterns, natural materials and warm wood tones are all key elements of the traditional farmhouse style.
Modern Farmhouse Style
Popularized by Joanna Gaines and her HGTV show, Fixer Upper, the modern farmhouse style takes characteristics of its traditional counterpart like simplicity and comfort and adds in more contemporary elements. Clean lines, a more neutral color scheme and sleek, modern finishes all contribute to the modern farmhouse aesthetic.
Farmhouse Window Treatment Ideas
Now that you’re more familiar with both main types of the farmhouse style, you’re ready to explore inspiring examples of farmhouse window treatments. Each of these examples incorporates traditional or modern farmhouse window treatments together with other interior design elements to create a curated aesthetic.
1. Traditional Farmhouse Bedroom
For a traditional farmhouse bedroom, choose a vintage four post bed and layer quilts and throw blankets on top for a cozy experience. Differently textured throw pillows are a great way to add soft pops of color and provide more design dimension. Additional vintage pieces like an old, distressed wood chair and unstained wood end table all bring a simple, rustic feel to the space. For your traditional farmhouse window treatments, opt for Flat Roman Shades with a plaid pattern in a soft, cozy fabric like wool blends or linen to complete the comfortable, welcoming aesthetic.

4. Traditional Farmhouse Casual Nook
A key element of the traditional farmhouse style is to create a sense of comfort and relaxation to come home to after a long day of work. Creating spaces in which to wind down are a critical piece to a farmhouse aesthetic — and those spaces don’t have to be large. A small nook is a great space to create a cozy environment. A vintage wood table with cream and pink flowers in a vase sets the tone for a gentle, relaxing ambiance. To take that relaxing aesthetic to your farmhouse window treatments, go for Relaxed Roman Shades in a light, natural fabric like linen or cotton.
