Vintage-Inspired Roman Shade from Canvas Drop Cloth
This unique window treatment, titled “Return to Sender,” takes inspiration from mailing envelopes and transforms a canvas drop cloth into a faux Roman shade.
The designer printed graphics onto T-shirt transfer paper and ironed them onto the cloth, deliberately distressing the material to achieve a vintage aesthetic. To maintain a stationary position, the canvas was folded into pleats and stitched securely in place, resulting in an eye-catching and functional window accent.
Rustic and Airy Window Treatment with Barn Siding
Experience the charm of “Barnyard Chic” with this creative window treatment.
The designer utilized a scrap piece of barn siding as inspiration, skillfully combining the rustic allure of wood with the lightness of linen. Vintage hooks were affixed to the wooden panel, and spare sheets were cut with slits to elegantly drape from the hooks. Whimsical fabric bows tied onto the hooks provided a delightful finishing touch, adding character and visual interest to any space.
Simple Wood Shade for Sunlit Spaces
Introducing “Let the Sun Shine In,” a minimalist window treatment idea perfect for spaces like the kitchen, where privacy takes a back seat to natural light.
By using a simple piece of wood as a shade, one can effectively block the sun’s rays during sunset while still allowing ample light into the room. Personalize the wood with your own design or stencil a favorite quote, creating a customized and inviting ambiance.
