Window Scarf

If you’ve just moved into a new home, you may be overwhelmed with all the decorating tasks you have ahead of you. Well, one way to make a quick impact on the look of your home without a lot of headache or money is to spruce up the windows with scarves. Window scarves are simple, inexpensive window treatments that are simple to install and make your windows look great.

A window scarf is often as simple as a long rectangle of fabric that is hemmed on all four sides. The beauty of a window scarf is not in the shape of the window treatment itself, but in how you drape it.

One of the best things about window scarves is that they can be easily configured in a variety of ways. You can purchase special sconces to put the ends of the scarves through, or you can drape them over a curtain rod. There are many ways to wrap and drape them over curtain rods, depending upon your style and choice. As you can see in the picture below, a window scarf can be beautiful just by draping it over two sconces or holders.
In many cases, panels are hung below the scarf for privacy, but this is not necessary if privacy is not an issue.

Another great thing about window scarves is that they’re so simple to make. Since they’re just a simple rectangle of fabric cut to the length you desire, making one requires few sewing skills. If you can cut the fabric to the length and width you desire and hem around the perimeter, you can make a window scarf! Making window scarves yourself makes them a simple way to dress up your windows while spending very little money. And, if you make your window treatments yourself, you can customize your windows to coordinate with other fabrics in your room. One way to give your room a great custom look for the homeowner with few sewing skills is to buy ready made window panels in a solid color and then make window scarves to go over them in a coordinating pattern, such as one that matches another fabric in your room.

Scarf window treatments are one of the easiest ways to get panache in your room without a lot of difficulty or a lot of money. Simple window scarves add elegance and charm to your windows, creating a custom look at an affordable price.
