We recently discussed some quick summer touches for your home - and now with summer upon us, it's time to shed those harsh and heavy window treatments appropriate for a chilly winter and replace them with something light and bright. As the days grow longer, taking advantage of the natural sunlight becomes ideal and cost effective. Allow the sunlight to naturally illuminate and open up a room. Using these following trends won't weigh down your wallet and will brighten up any room, making it appear larger and more welcoming.

It's all in the details
A fun way to add a beachy, summer feel to a plain window treatment is to add little delicate details, like the buttons on the treatment above. Stringing shells or beads along the curtain edge is another way to enhance your treatment and transform your windows into a focal point of the room.

Bring the Outside In
Blinds and shades are a tried and true method that allows you to adjust the amount of light your home gets in the summer. Use bamboo or straw treatments to bring in the natural feeling of the summery outdoors into your space.
