And window “ treatments?” cost more than spa treatments!
And are like, super less fun. Or relaxing!
But, right? Between rugs and windows our budgets are BLOWN.
Here’s a few ways to make your windows Pop! without spending a medium-sized fortune.

1. A “ valance” is LITERALLY a piece of fabric, draped over a window. Fabric! You got that! And if not, don’t forget I’m an interior designer with connections to create any treatment you can dream up.
2. Blinds can be super affordable! Like, crazy good. And transform a room!
3. Curtain rods can be ANYTHING. Wanna add some attitude to your windows? Use copper or iron plumbing pipes in place of standard curtain rods. Rustic, shabby chic, AND affordable!
4. Roman shades are actually DIY possible! Link is below, but do NOT underestimate yourself!
5. Hook and rings? Not just for shower curtains! So. Many. Options.
6. A “cornice” is an awesome way to give a window some pizazz, and you can literally make them by hand. For pennies!
7. Napkin rings make stellar curtain drapery ties! Who knew?

When it comes to window treatments, treat yourself to a no-rules game!
If it looks good? Yes! Spot on!
