As an alternative to an all-over colored pattern providing a visual focal point in the room, you can also choose to have your flat panel window shade decorated with just a wide stripe of color and pattern along the bottom edge of your window treatment. This option is popular for kids’ room window treatments, with just a handful of trains, planes, flowers, moons and other fun children’s room décor motifs adding a subtle pop of color coordinating with a colored window valance.
When you choose a graphic patterned window shade, keep your wall colors solid to avoid over-doing the color and ‘busy-ness’ of a room, and coordinate with key décor items such as bed pillows, vases, and throws in one color from the patterned window shade to perfect your room makeover on a budget.
