Alongside these choices are the finer details:
‘There are so many different poles that can be used from Perspex to stained wood to wave tracks, which are very contemporary and simple. There are also covered laths (tracks covered in the same fabric as the curtains). Again these choices depend on the style of the window, the overall look I’m striving to achieve, the client’s own personal taste and the type of window,’ says Kacher.
Unsurprisingly, light is one of the most important factors to bear in mind when dressing windows, and there are some tricks of the trade that can make all the difference.
‘It’s important to consider whether adding a window treatment will detract from the light source in any way,’ says Kacher. ‘Sometimes a roman blind can be placed higher above the window soffit to allow as much light as possible into the room when the blind is open.’
Subtle window dressing can make the best of a good view – but Kacher also has some advice for treating windows with less impressive outlooks.
‘In this case, just using a sheer weave fixed panel will allow light to come through while also screening the view,’ she says.
