We love rollers, and we love selling rollers and we’ll do anything it takes to make your interior look absolutely wow… with rollers – even if that mean we have to warn you about some things you shouldn’t be doing AT ALL!
Here are some window treatments that are a complete no go for your home.
Okay… we don’t know what’s worse… the grill on the window or the absolutely lackluster window treatment. If you’ve got that one hideous window in your house like the one in the picture… which we’re sure you do… NEVER EVER dress it up with a solid color like that – or maybe just use something that matches the wall. Sometimes things are better left simple!
Playing with bright colors in interior décor is fun – but playing with two bright colors to create a mirror effect on a window is pretty much like overkill! No matter how you balance the colors with all the other furnishings, this window treatment is old school, amateurish and not at all trendy – talk about a sub-standard kids Montessor… yea… the one you wouldn’t be sending your kids toi!
Now that is one gorgeous bay window – and used quite creatively as well we must say. But what we still can’t figure out is the purpose of all the empty space on the top. What is the point of roller shades covering only half the length? Birds can still see you from the op you know… No – you either cover the full length for a more fashionably complete look, or you simply let natural light to flow in while you enjoy a beautiful outdoor view.
Errr… speaking of fashionable, just like wide horizontal stripes are a total fashion disaster on clothes, the same seems to apply to roller shades. The Window it’s self may not have the ‘I’m looking fat’ issues that most women tend to have, but it’s just the nature of the pattern that does not seem to compliment the shape of a window. The only exceptions are those blinds you often see at offices made up of thin horizontal metallic and wooden slats or jalousie windows.
Now this one warrants a facepalm! Why would someone even do this in the first place? No it’s not cool or artistically unique – it’s just plain stupid! If you’re saying that the top gap in the middle allows light to illuminate the upper half of you room, then try rolling it up completely maybe? Those are some very nice rollers by the way… it’s shame they’ve been used like that.
