  • We’ve all seen our share of window treatment projects we’re not so sure about. The ones that make us shake our heads and ask, “What is this?!?” Scrolling on social media I see bad ideas, misplaced advice,  misinformation and just plain stupidness. Do you think you really think that you should hang a drapery using shower rings?Here are 10 common window fashion mistakes and how to avoid them.
#1 Not Dressing the Window

Window treatments often turn into a design challenge or major investment, but let’s face it: If you neglect your windows in favor of a different design focus, you’ll be left with a bare view. Every window needs some kind of dressing. Window fashions fill the blackhole; keep out heat or cold, control sunlight and most importantly finish off the room. After all I am WC pro; so it’s a cardinal sin not to treat windows in some way.
