How to Coordinate your Window Treatments with your Flooring

When it comes to cohseive interior design, coordinating all of the elements in a space can transform a room into a visually pleasing and inviting way. One essential aspect that contributes to this visual harmony is balancing your window treatments with your home’s flooring. The seamless combination of these two foundational pieces can create a beautifully cohesive look throughout your home.

At Classic Interiors, we know this can feel overwhelming with so many combinations available. That is why we have our tips so you can coordinate your window treatments with your flooring flawlessly.

Choosing a Cohesive Colors

To coordinate your window treatments with your flooring, you first need to select unifying colors that complement each other.

If you have hardwood floors, consider matching rich, warm wood tones with window treatment fabrics in complementary deep reds or earthy oranges for a vibrant, cohesive look. Or opt for contrasting neutral hues to create a breathable balance between your bold flooring and ethereal window treatments.

Balance Textures and Patterns

When you decorate with balance in mind, consider the patterns and textures you chose. Wood and laminate floorings contain the natural striations of wood grain and pairing this thoughtfully with your window treatments can add depth and visual interest to your home. However, it's crucial that you make sure to strike a balance between the two as to not make the room seem crowded. 

For example, if your flooring has intricated patterns, such as mosaic tiles or parquet floors often found in New Orleans historic homes, consider opting for solid or subtle textured window treatments.

On the other hand, if your flooring is more subdued, you can play with bolder patterns and textures in your window treatments to draw the eye. Custom window treatments like Designer Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas offer hundreds of colors and patterns for you to choose from. We are also happy to mix and match styles with your current flooring to create a beautiful, finished product.

Be Inspired by Architecture

New Orleans architecture features a unique blend of vibrant cultures, each with their own distinct characteristics. Custom window treatments coordinating with the flooring of your home can enhance these beautiful features.

If your home boasts beautiful French Quarter architecture or many ornate details, classic, elegant window treatments like drapery, Roman shades, or wood blinds from Hunter Douglas can enhance these features beautifully.

If you have a home with antique furniture and flooring, you can create a balance with a timeless look with modern roller shades from Hunter Douglas. Finally, if the floors of your home are neutral, consider adding window treatments in jewel tones to add a pop of color.
