10 Arched Window Treatment Ideas That Keep Their Beauty

by Simona Ganea, posted in Interiors, on May 20th, 2013

Arched windows, as opposed to simple rectangular windows, have a certain special charm. They stand out with their shape and they are considered to be a very beautiful architectural detail. Even though they can be very beautiful without any other enhancements and additions, it’s important for the window treatments to also be chosen carefully in this case. There are several options you can explore.

You can have regular rods and curtains and cover the window just like a regular one

You could opt for a drapery rod which is a popular and classical option for all types of windows. You could either have a straight, linear rod or one that follows the curve of the windows. Another option would be to only cover one portion of the window, leaving the arch exposed. This way you get the privacy you need by only covering what’s necessary. By not hiding the upper window, you showcase the design and shape.

by Simona Ganea, posted in Apartments, on May 20th, 2013

Almost all the apartment and houses from Sweden we’ve ever shown you had this very simple and bright interior design. It’s a very beautiful style that is based on few but clear lines. Still, there are all sorts of variations. Some apartments, this one included, feature an interior with a white background color but they are complemented by colorful accents in the form of furniture, artwork, decorations and other items.

The apartment has white walls, white ceilings and white floors throughout and this gives it a very clean look. All the colorful accents break the monotony and make the décor stand out. It’s a nice way of personalizing the space without necessarily changing the style.
