- A scarf valance draped over decorative hooks at the top of the window is a fast and simple solution for a small window treatment. Measure the width of the window, and double the length of the window to get the needed length of the fabric. The length of the fabric can be shortened or lengthened depending on personal preference. A scarf may be the only treatment needed on a small window to create the desired look.
- Holding curtains away from a window to allow light to shine, sheer tiebacks provide an unobstructed view of the outside as well. Use tiebacks in the same fabric as the window sheers for this added window feature. A lightweight hook will complement the delicate weight of the sheer and not appear to overpower it by being large and bulky.
- A romantic and sophisticated look is achieved with long sheer panels that puddle on the floor. This style is best when the panels are left in a permanent position and are not moved once in place. Adding 3 or 5 inches to floor-length curtains will provide enough extra material to create a nice puddle effect.
- Sheer curtain panels on French doors or beside front doors offer privacy and add a finished look. Door panel curtains have a curtain rod pocket at the top and bottom of the panel. A basic curtain rod that is small and plain works best to hold French door curtain panels. The less noticeable the rod, the better the window treatment will look.
- Often associated with a little girl's bedroom, Priscilla curtains are ruffled around the edges and turn an ordinary window into something spectacular. A ruffled valance and pullback ties add the finishing touches to these curtains.
- Draperies add insulation to wide windows during winter months but are often drawn back on sunny days to allow sunlight to enter in. Bare windows may look barren and out of place when drapes are open. Simple sheer curtains will give a finished look to the windows and still let the light shine in.
