Window Treatments. Friday , September 28th , 2018 - 23:32:46 PM
With your budget in mind, you should also be prepared to set your priorities. Unless you can afford to do all the windows in your home at one time, you may have to choose which rooms are most important to you. Dress living room and bedroom windows first and then consider window treatments in the bathroom or kitchen, for example. Ultimately, you want to consider things like privacy when prioritizing, but also take some time to think about which windows treatments are the most expensive as well.
The most popular treatments are fabric window treatments. Curtains, sheers and drapes are the most commonly used ones. The material can either be heavy or light, depending on the needs of the home or room you are furnishing. When privacy is important heavy materials are preferred as it is not possible to see through them. Lighter materials can be for when you do not want to retain moisture in a high moisture room like a bathroom.
Also, you can either choose to pull the same style throughout the home or to let each room have its own unique style - it's totally up to you. Many people like formal drapes in the dining area and less formal shades in the bedrooms and living area. It's up to you whether you do this or go a more conventional route with the same types of shades in every room. Great value for your money: While getting custom window treatments isn't the cheapest thing you'll ever do, it will actually give you more for your money in the long run. For one thing, you'll simply get higher-quality window treatments made from the best materials. This means they'll resist fading and damage that can cause you to have to buy new treatments in just a few years.
Let's begin with the basic question, "what do you want to do?" Sounds easy enough. Do you want to block sunlight altogether? Do you have a window that just gets morning sunlight, which is softer than afternoon light and therefore needs just a little bit of control? Or do you have windows that get a maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day and therefore need the most light control options available? Another function of window treatments is privacy. If your windows are on the first floor and at a level where anyone outside could peer in, you might like to have the option to block their view at times. Other windows are at a height where no one could look inside and therefore you might not have any privacy considerations at all. Perhaps you have a window (or windows) where there is no need for light control or privacy. Should you do anything at all there? You will also want to consider the energy-efficiency of window treatments, such as those that will block the heat from the sun, or allow more sunlight in to warm up a chilly room.
Window Blinds and Shades. Blinds and shades are very clean, contemporary window treatments that are distinctly different from drapes or curtains. Blinds are fabricated from an impressive range of materials from bamboo, jute, or paper to various woods like mahogany, pine, or oak. Vertical blinds are often the go-to-choice for large windows, but custom blind makers can treat any size window with horizontal blinds as well. Another treatment similar to blinds are known as panel tracks, which are usually made from fabric and are attached to tracks so they glide easily along your large window. They feature clean edges and modern design and as such panel tracks are becoming a popular window treatment.
There are many patterns, kits and other options for do-it-yourself window coverings so you can do the treatments yourself. When looking for window treatment ideas, do not forget to look at what is on eBay and YouTube. These two sites are great resources and will help spark ideas. You might decide instead to go with custom window coverings. The benefit of custom window coverings is that they are fitted to the window and hug all the right curves and fit all the right places. Custom window treatments are no more a luxury than your flooring or carpeting. Everyone deserves window treatments that perform and fit well. You may even save money in the long run with custom coverings because of a reduction in energy costs.
