Contemporary Window Treatments

Click here to see our selection of Contemporary Window Treatments.

Curtains and draperies are versatile and can jazz up a room with a contemporary window treatment. They are great at blocking light and sound, heat and cold. They are also wonderfully decorative and add enormous personality to a room.

Contemporary window treatments are as varied as the imagination allows:

· a sash curtain (to filter light)
· a draw curtain (to block out light)
· an over-drapery (which used to be purely decorative and is now just called a drapery)

In very formal rooms with sufficiently high ceilings, all of this can topped with a cornice or valance to hide the hardware. This traditional treatment carries on today in period or very formal or dressy rooms.

The modern tendency is to think of curtains as sash curtains often unlined and in a variety of lengths, and draperies as those that draw, completely closing off the window, but a contemporary window treatment can be draped, or a swag fabric can be loosely hung over a decorative rod. You can give any room a contemporary design by choosing bold colors and varied textures.

Consider the tremendous number of contemporary window treatment options you may choose from:

· Hang curtains of lace, cotton, nylon, silk, or some other sheer fabric.
· Place a curtain over a blind.
· Hang a curtain beneath chintz, silk, velvet, linen, or other draw drapery.
· Hang draw draperies over blinds or some other shade.
· Hang draw draperies alone on a decorative pole.
· Top curtains with short, purely decorative over-draperies known as swags and jabots.
· Top a blind or shade with swags, which drape over just the top of the window and long or short jabots, which hang on the sides of windows.
· Top any or all of these contemporary window treatments with a cornice or valance.

You can see that the variations are practically endless, especially when you combine these elements with contemporary window blinds and shades.

I ordered an extended length drapery rod and finials from you about a month ago. Just wanted to let you know that I was very happy with how easy your site makes it to order the length I needed. I love the finish of the rod, and mostly I loved the price. I looked at a lot of websites and didn't find anything that compared to what Best Window Treatments had to offer. Wanted to be sure and let you know that I'm 110% satisfied with the quality and the service. Thank you.

Thanks. I will definitely recommend your company to all my interior designer friends here in West Palm Beach. I have a new home 5,100 sq.ft., with lots of windows. My friend who is an interior designer is working on my home and she loved the curtains I ordered from you. All of this to say, I am very happy you worked with me on this and will definitely be advertising on your behalf.

A. R. West Palm Beach, FL

These curtains are so perfect. I'm using these as 3/4 length curtains in my bedroom but I would love to have them as full curtains in the living room, family room and den. I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am about the quality, material, construction and appearance. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Barbara D. Storrs Mansfield, CT

I just received my order today order and I am absolutely elated. I never ordered from your company before and was very apprehensive about just what I was getting.. Your color pictures were acurate. The color was exactly as stated and the workmanship is very impressive. I would recommend your company to any one who is looking for window treatments. Thank you for your prompt service because I was very anxious, both because I wanted to get them up and because I didn't know what to expect. Above Expectations!!
