The Wonders of White Window Treatments

A Bold Neutral Tone

The aesthetic flexibility of the color white is a handy attribute for interior design. First, it’s a neutral tone, which means the hue is compatible with nearly the entire rest of the color spectrum, so no matter the palette you’re using in your home, white will have a place. Second, though neutral, this hue is anything but boring. As the brightest of the neutral tones, white is bold and eye-catching with a place in interior design styles from coastal motifs to farmhouse chic to ultra-modernism.

White shutters have a classic style reimagined for modern aesthetics. These hard white window treatments, like Heritance® Wood Shutters, bring sophistication and enduring style to contemporary home décor. On the other end of the spectrum are white drapes with a flowing but no less striking style.

And since fabrics come in a widely nuanced variety of colors, textures, weaves, and patterns, white drapery can be tailored to an equally wide range of design aesthetics. For eye-catching design, the dramatic feel of Design Studio™ Custom Drapes makes a capable canvas for the striking aesthetic opportunities that arise when styling with the color white.

Open and Airy Aesthetic

The reflective nature of white not only affects the way sunlight enters a room - it also affects the room’s aesthetic. White has a vivacious, airy feel that translates into interior design that feels light and breathable, a welcome respite in the often-gloomy months of winter. This airy aesthetic is no more pronounced in white window treatment than in sheer shades.

Adding translucent dimension to white window treatments with sheer materials, Pirouette® Sheer Shades have all the benefits of white window treatments plus elevated light and UV control.

Warming Reflective Properties

White is a reflective color, being the balance to black at the other end of the spectrum. In wintertime, when daylight hours are at a minimum, white window treatments help extend the limited natural sunlight into home environments by reflecting its rays to lighten and brighten rooms. Roman shades are one example of this kind of warming, white window treatment.

Plus, when using a neutral tone like white, the design of Roman shades keeps the color from feeling flat with sumptuous fabric folds. Vignette® Roman Shades give depth and texture to white window treatments keeping the color feeling alive while also providing light control and privacy.
