Pairing shades with drapes can really add drama and dimension to a room. But knowing just how to combine these window treatments can be challenging. You may be wondering, is my window too small for drapes? Which colors, patterns and textures go well together?

First, Choose a Shade

If your room is small, you might want a shade with a cleaner look. If your room is larger, then a more colorful, dramatic shade could work better. Then consider the décor of your room. If your walls have semi-bright colors, you could choose a shade in a contrasting color that pops. If you have lots of patterns and prints in your room, think about a simple style of shade.

A cellular shade combined with a drape offers a crisp, contemporary look at the window. Duette® honeycomb shades, for instance, feature a wide range of pleat sizes, fabrics and colors. If you go with a light-colored shade, try complementing it with a dark drape.

Sheer shades beautifully diffuse natural light to create a soft ambiance in a room, while blackout drapes provide the total privacy and darkness you want at night. For even more light control, Silhouette® window shadings can be paired with an independently operated room-darkening liner on the same headrail.

Available in numerous styles and fold sizes that add depth and interest when combined with drapes. And if you happen to have any light gaps around your shade, a drape can help you achieve complete darkness while creating a sophisticated, layered look.

A trick if you have small windows—mount the shades and drapes together a few inches above the window frame, and just a few inches below the ceiling. The stack of the Roman shades will neatly cover the space between the headrail and the window.

Woven Wood Shades and Drapes Pair Quite Naturally

Made from natural woods, bamboo and grasses, woven wood shades like Provenance® Woven Wood Shades feature an organic textured look while diffusing light into the room. Adding a drape with a bold color and design can really complement the natural elements of your shade as well as offer you full privacy when you want it.

Whatever style of shades and drapes you choose, pairing them together can enhance any décor, from contemporary to country to traditional.

Window treatments help with a home’s energy efficiency by providing insulation, controlling solar heat gain, and by using natural light to reduce the use of electric light (called daylighting), which saves energy. Here’s a look at each—and how they help create your comfort zone. Providing insulation—winter/cool climates In winter, or if you live in a cool climate, window treatments help insulate at the window, preventing heat from escaping and keeping a room warmer. Open your window treatments during the day so that free solar heat from direct sunlight will warm your home.
