Formal Window Treatments

Picking window treatments for your formal room is actually pretty easy. Our customers’ top choice of window coverings for formal window treatments is wood blinds with a 4 ½ inch crown valance or 4 ½ inch crown cornice. We make it that simple.

Wood Blinds

If you want to go the wood blinds route, first and foremost, ask yourself one question: How do you feel about mixing various wood finishes? Your wood finishes don’t have to match, however, if you feel that they should, request a free sample of your preferred stain to make sure it matches.

Next, you should consider a routeless option or cloth tapes. Both of these make the window blinds look more elegant and custom.

And, finally, consider upgrading your valance to a 4 ½ inch Crown Valance or a 4 ½ inch Crown Cornice.

Cellular Shades

Not only will cellular shades look great in your room, if you choose a single cell shade, they will softly diffuse the light coming in through the window and cast a beautiful glow throughout your room.

This is a great example of mixing wood finishes. The furniture is in an elegant cherry wood while the wood blinds are in Auburn. To create this look, you should consider our Premium 2 inch Stained Basswood wood blinds, our Premium 2 1/2 inch Kiri Tree wood blinds, or our Textured & Stained Faux Wood Blinds.
These gold Roman shades have a hobbled fold and fringe added to the bottom. To recreate this look, try our Sienna Silk Roman Shades in Golden.
