Window treatments originally were made simply for functionality. Their function was to provide a necessary barrier against the elements in both the hot months of the summer and the cold of the winter. With today’s modern insulated windows the original functionality of these is not really needed but they are still used for the purpose of aesthetics. Window treatments help to bring together the theme of a room.

The first company to match up the window covering colours with their bedding set patterns was a company by the name of Croscill Bedding. The first matching patterns that Croscill offered were known as Arsenic and Old lace, coined from a popular Cary Grant movie. Because of their original ideas that were such a breakthrough in design, they have become one of the biggest names in themes for your bedroom. Today you can get and entire decorative motif from Croscill that spans from bedroom to bathroom. If you don’t have the funds for a professional interior decorator, you can shop Croscill and get everything that you need to successfully decorate your home in an elegant fashion on your own. Other companies soon followed suit, and today you can find window treatments for every room and any style imaginable. Many companies now offer patterns in similar colour schemes which can be mixed and matched to suit a variety of tastes. Read more
