5 questions to ask yourself before buying new window coverings
Consider these five essential questions before immersing yourself in the world of beautiful window treatments. This way, you'll make a choice that perfectly fits your needs.
-
#1 What primary goal do you have in mind?
By identifying the main purpose, you can search for window treatments that align perfectly with your requirements. Do you want more privacy, control over the amount of light, insulation against extreme temperatures, or an improvement in the room's aesthetics?
-
#2 What is the style and aesthetic of the room?
Evaluate the existing decor, color schemes, and overall style of the room where the window treatments will be installed. This will help you choose window decor that seamlessly complements the existing design elements for a harmonious look.
-
#3 How much natural light do you want to let in?
Determine the desired amount of natural light you wish to filter or block. Some window treatments, like sheer curtains or wooden blinds, allow ample light while providing some privacy. Blackout curtains, on the other hand, are specifically designed to completely block out light.
-
#4 What level of privacy do you desire?
Privacy is an important consideration. Think about how much privacy you want in each room and how much visibility you're willing to allow from the outside. Sheer curtains or wooden blinds offer some privacy while still allowing natural light in. Opaque curtains or shades offer more privacy by blocking the view from the outside.
-
#5 Do you need specific functionalities?
Think about additional features or characteristics you expect from the window treatments. For example, easy-to-open and close window decor like curtains or Japanese panels for large windows or sliding doors. Motorization can provide optimal comfort and convenience.
