Light white or cream versions keep color palettes feeling bright and breezy.

To keep the space feeling open and light,choose curtainsthat closely match the colors of the walls.

Roman shades and blinds can contribute to the same airy and open aesthetic.

When deciding, look out for materials that are lightweight visually and physically.

This magical balance can be helped with a well-chosen window treatment.

Another way to do this is by using the same kind of curtain and orientation (i.e.

This gives a fuller look but still feels consistent.
