Commonly used window treatments in Spanish Eclectic houses include:
1. Wrought iron window grilles: These decorative grilles are often used on exterior windows to add a traditional and rustic touch to the façade while providing security.
2. Wooden shutters: These can be both functional and decorative. Shutters are typically used on the exterior of windows, and they can be opened or closed to control natural light and ventilation.
3. Fabric curtains with valances: Heavy fabrics like brocade or tapestry are commonly used for curtains in Spanish Eclectic houses. They are often paired with valances embellished with tassels or fringe for a more ornate look.
4. Roman shades: These soft fabric shades are popular for adding privacy in Spanish Eclectic interiors. They can be raised for full window views or lowered for light control.
5. Stained glass windows: Decorative stained glass windows are a hallmark of Spanish Eclectic design. These colorful windows can be used to filter light, provide privacy, and add a vibrant touch to the interiors.
6. Arch-top windows: Arched windows are a typical feature of Spanish Eclectic architecture. These windows are often left uncovered or may have minimal treatments to highlight their architectural beauty and allow more natural light inside.
7. Metal scrollwork: In some cases, metal scrollwork or ironwork designs are incorporated into the window treatments to mimic the ornate detailing found on doors, balconies, or stair railings in Spanish Eclectic homes.
