inexpensive window treatmentsby Natalie Bahadur |
OK, we all know that custom-made drapery is preferable to ready-made. But let’s face it; sometimes there just isn’t the time and money to invest in the process. And if this is the case, you needn’t worry about leaving your windows (gasp!) naked, for all your neighbours to spy on your every move. Nor do you need to spend a small fortune to outfit them in stylish, pretty fabrics. Many stores now offer a wide variety of window coverings that are available at more than reasonable prices. Drapery options have come a long way and I love that there’s so much to choose from. I love these incredibly inexpensive options from Linens ‘N Things. The Bellingham Window Curtains (pictured left) are modern, featuring a contemporary stripe pattern and cost between $49.99 and $59.99. And they’re machine washable. I like that! The Moda Contempo panels (pictured right, $59.99) feature European blind-stitched hems, are dry-clean only and come in five elegant neutrals. Freshening up a room just got a whole lot easier with these inexpensive options.

Thanks for the great inexpensive window treatment ideas. I have found some terrific buys on window treatments in beautiful fabrics at Linens ‘N Things. You are so right, you do not have to spend a fortune on dressing up your windows!
Thanks, Natalie, for mentioning Linen n Things. I had forgotten about them, but after reading your blog above, I have recently purchased damask tone on tone striped ones. And the bonus, they are lined! Thanks again.
