Drapes, curtains, shades, blinds or valances.  With so many choices, how do you ensure you are selecting the perfect custom window treatments for your home?  One of the main things you should consider is privacy.  Does your space require privacy or not?  This can easily depend on the room you are decorating.

Blackout Velvet Curtains

Bedrooms and bathrooms usually require more privacy than other rooms.  Blackout curtains are great for bedrooms.  To ensure the maximum amount of privacy,  select window treatments at least 12 inches wider than your window to block as much light as possible.  Blackout solar shades and cellular shades are also another great layering window treatment when decorating bedrooms or bathrooms.

Family rooms, studies, office space, and kitchens usually require less privacy.  Here is the perfect place to use single window treatment styles.  Decorative valances work great in kitchen areas.  They are installed above the window which allows plenty of light to come into the room.  The high placement is helpful in keeping the window treatments clean.  Also this allows easy access to open the window as needed.  Roman shades are great for office spaces and studies as these treatments are easily operable for more or less privacy as needed.  Most people prefer natural light in there family rooms.  If you have plenty of windows in this space, this is a great opportunity to let loads of natural light in with simple linen drapes or minimal lined curtains.

When you keep the focus on privacy needs, it is easy to find the perfect window treatments for your space.

There are many factors to consider when selecting your window treatments.  It may seem like a  convenience to go to your local hardware or department store to purchase your window treatments.  However, there are many advantages to custom window treatments that you will not get when purchasing packaged curtains.

One of the main advantages to purchasing custom window treatments are the economical value that comes with them.  Curtains from a larger manufacturing company will come in set sizes, and offer limited if any trim options at all.  When you opt for custom window treatments, you can hand pick every aspect of your custom drapes.  Not only can you select the exact shade of green or blue, you also have textile options.  Silks, linens, blends, velvets, or contemporary cottons are just the beginning.  There are also numerous trim options.  Everything from stunning beaded trims, to traditional tassel fringe can all enhance your window treatments.   There are also many lining options, such as blackout linings and flannel interlinings that will enhance your window treatments and add years to the life of your treatments.  This will also save you a ton of money on heating and cooling bills due to the extra layers of protection made into your custom curtains.
