Light Filtering Layers

When you’re confused with how to start layering window treatments, it is better to keep one layer from the light filtering family. The light filtering layer will allow the natural light to come in through the day. The second layer, you can experiment a lot. You can play with colors, patterns and textures. A blackout shade will enhance the privacy at night, and you can enjoy a good night’s sleep.

Choose colors from the same family to create contrasting designs

You do not have to match the colors perfectly when layering the windows. Solar shades can be your first layer in a lighter tone, and you can choose a print drapery as a second layer in dark brown and yellow tones. Both the window treatments combine well, and you get a stunning window. 

One color but different textures

If your room has one predominant color, you can layer the window treatment in texture. Choose one color but in different textures. You can take light filtering solar shades and pair it up with blackout drapes or even with stripes. 

Make the dominant pattern a central focal point

Mix two prints but be cautious
