Beautiful Window Treatments for Bedrooms





Author Jackie Dishner




Whether looking for romantic ambiance,

blinds to control sunlight or window treatments to protect your privacy,

design experts uncover seven ways to dress up bedroom windows.




Drape With Silk

For a luxurious and romantic ambiance in the boudoir, designer Sharon McCormick pampers the bedroom in silk drapery panels, choosing a restful, sea glass color. Add pleats, tassels, crystals, beads or buttons for a custom touch. Included underneath is a remote-controlled window shade for privacy.



Metallic Finishes

If it's drama you like, you can get it with hardware. New Englander Sharon McCormick loves bedroom drapes that hang from large wooden rods in metallic finishes. Add more personality to the frame by selecting elaborate, crystal or fabric-wrapped finials.



Mix It Up

Designer Kati Curtis favors a combination of simple sheer and opaque draperies in her Manhattan bedroom designs. The sheer fabric stays open during the day to allow light in. At night, the opaque panels help buffer sound and keep light out for a good night's sleep. For a sleek touch, hardware is hidden in the window pocket.



Pleat From Floor To Ceiling

Choose a traverse or gathered rod and cover the entire wall by hanging pleated window treatments from floor to ceiling. Chicago-based designer Mary Susan Bicicchi creates a coccon-like feel with black-and-white patterned drapes in her own bedroom. Use the treatment to make a small room feel larger or open up a room with tall, skinny windows like hers.



Hang in Layers

To soften the look and add dimension to a bedroom window, California-based designer Lada Webster loves to use layers. She suggests adding a pattern to one of the layers to create a whimsical look or touch of character. Then it becomes a focal point in your private space.



Oversized Hardware

DrapeStyle designer Rick Thompson created this urban chic panel with oversized grommets and topped off with chocolate brown silk banding. The lighter metallic mesh fabric provides privacy, yet still allows light into the room. Oversized grommets work well in a smaller space with fewer windows and in contemporary settings, if you want the hardware revealed.



Trim With Fabric

Add a fun element to the bedroom decor with a simple, rectangular valance accentuated with beaded fringe, says Washington state designer Natalia Smith. It's a clean, unobstructed look that opens the room to light and color and adds the finishing touch — as long as the fabric in the valance matches what's on the pillows and bedding. Smith prefers a cornice with simple padding and a finished edge at the bottom for transitional, as opposed to traditional, style.

Color Happy

Like an artist's canvas waiting to be painted, the white walls in this bedroom extended an invitation to play with color. Pale green-and-lavender bed linens and orange geometric accent pillows answer the call. Metallic footstools and a seashell chandelier add formal touches that are balanced by textural bamboo blinds.


Dressed to the Nines

Perfect design lives where comfort intersects with style. This sumptuous bed is dressed with layer upon layer of beautiful bedding, each softer and loftier than the last. It's hard to imagine tossing and turning in this luxurious retreat


Soaring Heights 

Small windows in this bedroom are cleverly disguised with floor-length draperies. The white panels accentuate the crown molding while blending with the window trim, so the eye sweeps from ceiling to floor without stopping. A four-poster helps the eye to travel upward.


Center Stage 

This multilevel master bedroom is stately and refined. The light gray walls beautifully complement the yellow floral textiles, and the towering windows add plenty of light and drama.


Flea Market Chic

With mix-and-match (well, mostly mix) flea market treasures, this room exudes a level of sophistication well beyond its pedigree. Simple walls showcase the worn finishes of the vintage furniture and make each item stand out as special.


Understated Luxury

Sophisticated furniture and a neutral palette give this room an undertone of opulence, while the angled bed and large-scale accents add a bit of drama.


Four-Post Presence 

The large poster bed is the attention-grabber in this pale master suite. The easiest way to create drama in a smaller room is to choose one beautiful overscale piece of furniture and let it take charge.


East Meets West

The geometry and proportion of this bedroom's furnishings spring straight from Asian design, but the rustic wood surfaces and faux-suede bed give off a cool cowboy vibe.


Sage Sanctuary

The monochromatic window treatments, headboard, and walls offer a serene backdrop to the simple white linens and accessories in this restful retreat.


 Simple and Chic 

Vapor-blue walls create a soothing atmosphere in this discreetly feminine master suite. Eclectic furnishings, both vintage and modern, transform the room into a personal haven.


Warm Palette

With a generously proportioned sleigh bed and high bombe chests, this bedroom becomes a well-appointed gentleman's retreat. A classic rug and vintage photographs add to the masculine appeal. But lush linens and fresh flowers make the room attractive to everyone.


Pattern Panache

Crisp white walls and trim and hotel-chic bedding serve as striking counterpoints to this bedroom's chocolate-brown wall. A geometric pattern ties the two main colors together, while yellow photo mats and throw pillows introduce a playful splash of color. Two X benches round out the foot of the bed, adding a modern punctuation point and portable seating to the room.


Oceanside Bedroom

Recalling the crest of a wave, the shapely headboard in this bedroom helps linens in dusty blue and beige to soar. A sea motif carried out in some of the accent pillows gives life to the subtle sun and surf theme.


Modern Touch

Keeping with the character of a warehouse-turned-condo, this bedroom is simple and sophisticated. A modern four-poster becomes architecture, while tactile bedding and contemporary artwork take the hard edge off.

A Calming Influence Bedroom


A large-scale bed anchors this room and sets an elegant tone. The upholstered and tufted headboard and sideboards have a masculine feel, but the luxurious silk bedding adds a feminine touch. Next to the bed, backlit frosted-glass panels allow a soft, warm glow to filter into the

bedroom while hiding the contents of the bookcase behind.

-Golden yellows were chosen to brighten this north-facing bedroom.
-Pendent lights are a sophisticated and unique alternative to bedside lamps.
-A pair of mirrors reflects light to brighten up this bedroom.
-The custom-made bed and headboard includes tailored style with button detail.



Age-Old Beauty


In keeping with this home's cottage theme, lavender and soft white hues set the mood in the master bedroom, where a serene palette won't detract from the picture-perfect views. Soft floral fabrics and curvaceous furnishings lend a feminine feel to the room while rich black finishes add an air of sophistication.

-An overstuffed linen duvet is a charming contrast to the floral window treatments.
-A four-poster bed accentuates the room's tall, sloped ceilings.
-Painted furnishings, such as the bedside table, help execute the room's breezy style.
-If you can't afford antiques, choose reproductions with distressed finishes



Breezy Retreat

Pale blue walls form the backdrop to this easy breezy retreat. Instead of a headboard, the bed is centered under the bright window and framed by gauzy panels mounted to the sloped ceiling. Serene white linens lend the feeling of a boutique hotel.

-Pendent lights are made from large rattan balls and paper lanterns.
-A single orange pillow adds a needed punch of color in the room.
-A rattan bench serves as a footboard and a cozy spot to read.
-White bedding and cool walls are a sharp contrast to the dark wood floors.



Bedded Bliss

This style-conscious master suite displays a sense of fun. The leopard-pattern wool carpet sets the playful mood, letting the upholstered headboard, subtle decorative-paint finish, and neutral draperies imbue the room with a sense of luxury. The result is a room that is both warmly familiar and forever fresh.

-Nail-head trim in an interesting pattern is a fine finishing touch on the ottoman.
-Contrast piping around the upholstered headboard adds interest and glamour.
-Heirloom pieces, such as the hall chair in this room, make a space feel personal.
-Awash in shades of ivory and gold, this room's neutral palette delivers a sense of calm.




Beach Living

Inspired by the sands of Bermuda and Bora Bora, a creative homeowner gives his landlocked home the illusion of sand, sun, and surf. In the bedroom, a sense of serenity prevails thanks to the minimal use of color and a focus on sumptuous textures.

-Black-and-white photographs complement the palm-print bedspread.
-A sophisticated striped fabric is repeated on the curtains and bed skirt.
-A crisp linen-covered headboard is a calm break from the room's patterns.
-A wicker desk chair and rattan baskets bring warm texture to the room.




Backstage Pass

This rock 'n' roll theme is something child and parent can appreciate thanks to a color scheme that's limited to neutrals and contrasting black or navy and understated furnishings. Music posters play an important role but they are contained within parent-approved frames.

-Work with your teen to create a room that expresses his personality.
-Silver accessories add a bit of edginess.
-An MTV pillow adds funk to the timeless and masculine bedding.
-Whimsical music sheet wallpaper adds to the room's well-tuned theme.
