Why Window Treatments Are the Most Overlooked Part of Interior Design
I've been in the flooring and interiors business for a long time, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's this: people agonize over their floors and ignore their windows. That's a mistake.
Windows Define the Light in Your Room
Every room's atmosphere starts with light. Too much light and your floors fade, your furniture washes out, and the space feels harsh. Too little and even the most beautifully designed room feels cave-like. Window treatments are how you control that — and the difference between well-treated and untreated windows is immediately visible to anyone who walks in.
The Design Completer
You can have the most gorgeous hardwood floors, the best furniture arrangement, and a perfectly chosen paint color — and the room will still feel unfinished without the right window treatment. Drapery adds texture, height, and softness. Shutters add architecture. Shades add clean lines. The window treatment is the frame around the painting. It matters.
What We Offer
At FD & Design, we carry a curated selection of window treatment options that we've personally vetted for quality and style. Custom drapery, shades, blinds, shutters, valances — and we offer professional installation. We also help you coordinate your window treatments with your flooring and furniture so everything works as a unified design story.
The Secret to Getting It Right
Hang your drapes higher and wider than the window. It's the single most impactful and underused window treatment trick. Hang the rod close to the ceiling and extend it 6-12 inches beyond the window frame on each side. The room instantly looks taller, the windows look larger, and the whole space opens up. Every time.
