No matter what design theme you have chosen to decorate in, installing window treatments in coordinating styles and colors will really help your design look great. One way to continue the theme throughout the entire room is to add some wood blinds instead of curtains and drapes to a cabin, lodge or any wood decorating style theme. The blinds can help give you privacy and also let light filter in adding to the ambiance of the room design.

By using them, you can open the windows to let the light in after you tie curtains and drapes. One solution that will always add style to your windows are scalloped valances.

Another great thing to do is to mix materials a bit. Try to mix it up a little, use different types of fabrics and patterns with some other materials. If you like the ease and convenience of wood blinds, then mix them with fabric window treatments to soften up the window decor.
