If your windows look out into the forest or over the lake, you may not need window coverings for privacy - but you will want window coverings for
- security - so people can't see in when you're not there
- light control - so you can sleep in on sunny mornings
- fabric protection - so your furniture doesn't fade in the sunlight... AND,
- to make a statement - your choice in window coverings can add the final touches to your rustic decor
Rustic window treatments should ooze "natural." You may choose drapes or curtains, or you may consider other window coverings such as blinds, shutters, or shades. You can choose from a variety of rustic curtain rods to hang your curtains or drapes.
Personalize your window treatments with - a bundle of willow or twigs as a valance atop a simple panel curtain or blinds
- deer antlers
- dried flowers - bunches or wreaths
- garlands
- a blanket or "lodgy" fabric swagged across the top of the window
- metal cutouts on a valance or mounted on the wall above the window
- stained glass panels and sun catchers
- canoe paddles, skis, or snowshoes mounted on top of the window
