Window Dressings Explained
Project Name
When it comes to interior design, window treatments are often the unsung heroes. They do so much more than filter light, they add softness, depth, and balance to a room. Whether you’re starting from scratch or finishing off a space, choosing the right window treatment can completely transform how your home feels.
At Styled Living, we see window dressings as the final layer, the detail that ties everything together with comfort, texture, and elegance.
Why Window Treatments Matter
Beyond their practical purpose of privacy and light control, window treatments define the mood of a room. They can make a space feel taller, cosier, or more refined depending on how they’re styled.
Think of them as the frame around your view, the perfect finishing detail that completes your interior story.
Types of Window Treatments
Project Carolla
1. Curtains and Drapes
Classic, timeless, and endlessly customisable.
Curtains bring warmth and softness to any room and can be tailored in different ways, from light, sheer fabrics that diffuse natural light beautifully, to lined drapes that add weight and structure.
Styled Living tip: Hang curtains as high and wide as possible to make windows feel larger and ceilings taller.
Project Daffodil
2. Roman Blinds
Roman blinds offer a more structured look, ideal for smaller spaces or rooms where floor-length curtains might not be practical.
They provide a clean, tailored finish and work beautifully layered under sheer curtains for a designer feel.
Styled Living tip: Choose a textured fabric or subtle pattern to add interest without overwhelming the room.
3. Roller Blinds
Simple and functional, roller blinds are a sleek option for a modern home.
They’re perfect for rooms where you need versatility, think kitchens, bathrooms, or home offices. Available in blackout, dim-out, or sheer fabrics, they can blend seamlessly with your interior style.
Styled Living tip: For a minimal aesthetic, match the fabric to your wall colour.

4. Shutters
For a timeless, architectural look, shutters add instant structure and style.
They’re brilliant for controlling light and privacy and work especially well in period homes or spaces where clean lines are key.
Styled Living tip: White or soft neutral shutters keep things light and classic, while darker tones create a statement contrast.
5. Sheer Voiles and Layers
Layering window treatments adds depth and luxury. A sheer voile paired with a heavier curtain or roman blind creates a relaxed, layered look that feels effortlessly styled.
Styled Living tip: Use layering to balance light control with softness, perfect for living rooms or bedrooms.
