You have a wide range of options for window treatments. You can choose from blinds, shades or drapes. There are many different styles, textures and designs within each category. Window treatments are available for every style and decor. There’s almost always something to suit your decor.
While technically, shades and blinds are made of fabric and have slats, the terms can overlap and shoppers tend to use them interchangeably. The two styles are minimalist in appearance, covering only the window opening while providing ample coverage. With the simple pull of a string, they allow you to control light and privacy.
There are many popular styles, including roller shades, which look very sleek and tailored, bamboo blinds, which give a natural and earthy look, venetian shades, which allow you to see out, and roman shades, which combine the softness and functionality of both drapes and shades. It is usually necessary to have roman shades custom-made, but it will be well worth the cost.
Blinds and shades are usually found in neutral colors or white, but more recently we have seen a trend towards bolder and more expressive patterns and colors.
You should measure the width of the window before you choose blinds or shades. You can measure the width of your window, or the distance between the outside edges of the trim and the inside edge if you want to hang them that way.
Some shades and blinds are available in standard sizes, but depending on the company you choose, you can have them tailored to perfectly fit your window. Customizing your shades and blinds is worth the investment. Depending on the company, you can get the best value in the end. It makes sense to invest a bit more in your blinds and shades if you want them to last a long time.
You can also choose curtains that offer a traditional look for your home window treatments. These provide a great opportunity to add height, color and texture to any space. You’ll need to hang your curtains from a curtain rod depending on the type you choose. To heighten the feeling of the room, we recommend hanging it as near as possible to the ceiling. When it comes to drapes and curtains, the important measurement is not the width but the length.
You can add height to the room to make it more appealing. Your curtains can be hung to just touch the floor, or they can be longer for a romantic pooling look. A longer length always gives off a dramatic feeling. It’s up to you to decide where to cut your curtains. Many interior decorators believe that if you are unsure, you should opt for a longer length rather than a shorter one. The shorter length can give the impression that the curtains have been cut in an unintentional way, which is not what you want.
It can be overwhelming to choose the right Window Treatments for your home. Paying a little more to get expert advice from someone who is knowledgeable about the product that you are considering purchasing can be a good idea. Little help and guidance can go a long way.
