Bring Hygge Home With Scandinavian Window Treatments

Hygge is a feeling – a Danish philosophy centered around comfort, contentment, and connection. Just as you use interior design to create all aesthetics, you can bring the feeling of hygge to your home with Scandinavian-styled window treatments.

What Is Scandinavian Style?

At heart, the Scandinavian style is clean lines, simplicity, and a cozy feel. It features abundant light, neutral colors, and maximum texture. Many people confuse Scandinavian design with minimalism, and while the two share some elements, they are distinct aesthetics. Minimalism focuses on creating space and simplicity, and the Scandinavian style comprises practical, functional pieces and leaves plenty of opportunity to incorporate things you love. It's a far more accessible aesthetic for those who like more "things" than minimalism allows for.

Sheer Beauty

Sheer shades are one of the best window treatments to create hygge in your home. Scandinavian style centers around light and sheer shades, allowing ample sunlight to enter your home but gently diffusing it so it's not too bright and uncomfortable. Pirouette® Window Shadings are an excellent choice because of their simple style and clean lines. Adjustable fabric vanes on a sheer backing make controlling the light entering your home easy. Luminette® Privacy Sheers are fantastic for a sheer shade on oversized windows or sliding glass doors.

Resplendent Roman Shades

Scandinavian homes feature more than clean lines; they also have tons of texture. Roman shades allow you to maintain the neutral color palette of Scandinavian style without eliminating movement and texture. If you can't live without patterns, avoid busy ones like florals or damask in favor of small stripes or houndstooth. Carole Fabrics™ Roman Shades are available in thousands of fabrics, so finding one you love will be easy. Regardless of your pattern and material, the soft folds or Roman shades will keep your windows looking clean but full of depth and visual interest.

Demure Drapes

Keeping within the suggested neutral color palette, you can include drapes in your Scandinavian-style home. Drapes are best-in-class for light control and give your home an upscale appearance. Stick with more lightweight fabric, like linen or cotton, to maintain the airy feel important to hygge and Scandinavian design. Remember to hang your drapes right below the ceiling to make the room appear larger.

Simple Roller Shades

Clean lines and unfussy operation are prevalent aspects of roller shades. Designer Roller Shades come in various opacities and fabrics, including exclusive materials from the Alustra® Collection. Your roller shades can be simple and solid or feature a subtle texture. Increase the functionality of your roller shades by adding the Duolite® feature. Duolite® places an opaque liner behind a sheer shade to give you more control over light and privacy in your home.
