  1. Like most people, you're probably looking for the best ways to save money-but you also want your house to be beautiful. How can you accomplish both at the same time? One of the fastest and easiest ways to update the look of your home is through window coverings. While your windows provide a beautiful view of the outdoors and bring in natural lighting, they can also make a glare during your favorite movie or showcase your neighbor's antics across the street. Enhance the privacy and beauty of your home with a window covering that fits your budget.

  2. Seek out unique remnants Some of the unique places that savvy decorators are finding affordable window coverings look pretty similar to the discard pile-coffee sacks, burlap bags, or other packaging materials offer sturdy window coverings that can be decorated with stencils, dyes, or left as-is for a rustic look. Best of all, you are "going green" by reusing these otherwise disposable items.

  3. Think outside the placemat-er, box Valences can add depth and beauty to your window coverings, but they can be costly. Have a set of placemats you love, but that don't match your dining room décor? Consider repurposing them as a valence! With a little crafting, you can take your placemats and attach them to your window hardware for a unique and effective window valence.

  4. Personalize it A popular trend in today's design includes handwritten text- whether bold, printed words or scripty cursive, adding some writing can give a unique window look, perfect for libraries, bedrooms, or anyplace that can use a touch of personalization. Best of all, this technique works great with simple fabrics-many people have written song lyrics, poems, or inspirational quotes on simple dropcloths for a unique and elegant look.

  5. Pages of valence Another great tip for the book lover in your life, this unique valence is simple, fun, and inexpensive. Take apart an old book, lightly crumple the pages, and run a ribbon through the center. Bunch the pages together and string across your window opening for a valence that tells a story.
