How do layered window treatments help with heavy wood tones?

Layered window treatments add softness and depth to rooms dominated by wood tones. Combining linen or light-colored curtains with blinds diffuses natural light, cooling the warmth of wood finishes. This layering adds texture and visual interest, subtly breaking wood monotony without covering it. Properly scaled curtains also help balance large wood beams or paneling, making the room feel lighter and more inviting.
