A Few Pro Tips on Choosing the Right Window Treatment for Your Minimalist Home:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Window treatments act as insulation, to frame a window and to finish a room. In the minimalist home, even though they are understated, window treatments add as much to the final look of the room as the rest of the items. Choose them with care to help you create a simple and uncluttered space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Where there is harsh sunlight, it is always advisable to install blackout. This could be as lining, or as blinds installed in the window recess. Blackout will prevent the sun from damaging the curtain fabric, especially when natural fibers are being used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Don\u2019t be afraid to layer window treatments. A simple dress curtain can easily hide bulkier blackout curtains or blinds behind it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
