Cost-Effective Ideas for Changing Out Your Window Treatments in Summer
Changing your window treatments with the seasons might sound impractical and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. You may have noticed more and more sheer window treatments showing up in interior design room photos these days. They make a lot of sense, because professionally made sheer window treatments actually cost a bit less than other custom window treatments since there is less labor and materials used to produce them. This creates a great cost-effective opportunity to change out your window treatments in summer to sheer draperies or fabric shades.
In Portland, OR, we had to wait longer than normal for our summer to arrive this year, so I am especially enjoying these summer months and making the most of this nice weather! Sheer window treatments, particularly draperies flowing in the summer breeze, are a great way to enjoy the summer months inside your home! Here are some of the room photos with sheer window treatments that have caught my eye…
