The Most Overlooked Part Of A House (And How To Elevate It), According To David Bromstad

If you're in the process of decorating your home, David Bromstad warns against neglecting one specific area. It's easy to get caught up in elements like furniture, finishes, and color palettes -– but there might be one space you're forgetting. As the star of HGTV's "Color Splash" and, more recently, "My Lottery Dream Home," Bromstad knows what it takes to curate a stylish, personalized space. One of David Bromstad's best tips for creating your dream home is that your interior isn't finished until you elevate your windows.

In a brief YouTube clip, Bromstad revealed why your windows should always be prioritized: "The windows are the most neglected space of the entire house. I mean, why neglect your eyes? It's the eyes to your house! You don't neglect your eyes, do you? No! This is a great way to finish off your space." He continues, "It is going to really make everything come together. Add some metallics, add some pattern, add some sheers...add something!" The first step in implementing Bromstad's advice is to explore stylish window treatment ideas for your space. If the possibilities seem overwhelming, don't fret! Bromstad has tips on how to determine the best window decor for your home.

David Bromstad has a history of selecting window treatments that reflect the theme of the home. For example, he once opted for green silk curtains with horizontal lines to match a quirky, garden-inspired interior. The horizontal lines were a unique departure from the typical vertical pattern, and the custom quality added to the originality of the space. In this HGTV clip from "Color Splash," Bromstad explained: "I had Gina and Patricia order silk, custom drapes for both rooms. It's going to reinforce that garden feel without being so obvious and cliché." This renovation is proof that your windows are an essential place to add a splash of self-expression.

When Bromstad renovated a rustic home with vintage details, he once again made sure that the window treatments complemented the overall aesthetic. In this "Color Splash" clip posted by Cyan Design, he told the client: "So, we brought your whole house together through color, but we wanted to do it through materials as well. We did it through the curtains. All the curtains are the same — that rustic feel — because it's linen!" All this to say, before you buy window treatments, you should know and define your home's overall style.
