Window Treatment Ideas for Farmhouse Interior Design
Farmhouse interior design pairs rustic, natural materials with a clean, mostly neutral palette, and it's a look we often see in Springfield-area homes. Think shiplap walls, wood beams, black metal light fixtures, and furniture with character. At Blinds Plus, we find that farmhouse window treatments work best when they balance old and new: a farmhouse room should feel lived-in, and your window fashions, whether soft fabric or classic hardwood, should feel the same.
What to Look for in a Farmhouse Window Treatment
The best farmhouse window treatments tend to share a few qualities: natural materials or faux finishes, a neutral or warm-wood color palette, and enough texture to stand up to the room's other rustic elements without competing with them. While metallic window treatments, like aluminum blinds, can be a great way to blend styles, they can clash with a traditional farmhouse look. These same qualities apply whether you're covering a large kitchen window or a smaller mudroom window.
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades for Farmhouse Window Treatments
Hunter Douglas Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are crafted from natural materials such as wood, reeds, grasses, and bamboo, giving them an authentic look that's a strong match for a farmhouse living room or kitchen. The texture of these woven shades evokes warmth and tradition while serving as a grounding neutral that gives you flexibility in the accents you choose. A wide-open view-through lets you maintain a beautifully framed landscape without closing off your home to the outside world. After all, part of the farmhouse aesthetic is a refreshing connection with nature.
Heritance® Hardwood Shutters for Farmhouse Interior Design
For a more classic farmhouse look, Heritance® Hardwood Shutters bring real, 100% natural hardwood to the window, built with Truemill® dovetail construction and available in 2½-inch, 3½-inch, or 4½-inch louvers. A wide louver in a painted white or soft neutral finish reads as timeless farmhouse character, especially in a dining room or living room with exposed beams or shiplap. Because they're built from solid hardwood, these shutters also hold their shape and finish for years, which matters in a design style built around materials meant to last for generations.
Layering for a Finished Farmhouse Look
Many of our Springfield clients pair one of these products with simple woven or linen-look drapery panels on either side of the window, adding softness and height to the room while preserving the natural materials that anchor the rest of the space. This layered approach also gives you more flexibility with light and privacy, since the shade or shutter manages daily light control while the drapery adds a finished, designed look.
