Adding window coverings can completely transform a space. Adding color, texture, and dimension to a window can transform a space into a cozy oasis. You can enhance both the appearance and functionality of your home.  Window treatments aren't just about hanging rectangles on a wall.  

Preparing for your window treatment consultation? Here are 3 tips to help ensure you’re fully prepared…

Tip #1: Define Your Goals

There are many ways to dress a window. Let's define the two kinds of treatments:  

Soft treatments are well-known and offered in many styles, from custom-fabricated shades to draperies. They are fabricated using soft materials and trims.    

Hard treatments include blinds, shades, and shutters. The components of hard treatments can manipulate the lighting and privacy of a room.  

Knowing what type of treatments you would like is the first step.

Tip #2: Determine Your Budget

Soft treatments and hard treatments can be paired together to create a beautiful space. Window treatments are an investment. Choosing a quality fabric, adding a lining, selecting drapery hardware, and accounting for labor can quickly add up. The cost depends on the size of your window, the style, and the types of treatments you choose.  They are fabricated to the exact size of your windows and will be a custom, perfect fit.

Tip #3: Gather Style Inspiration 

Having inspirational pictures of your ideal window treatment can guide us to your end goal. Ask yourself: 

  • Do you need your window treatments to block light?

  • Do you want them to roll or stack?

  • Do you want to create an insulating barrier at the window?

  • Is the purpose to add softness to a space?
