Choosing window coverings can be overwhelming because of the many options available. When selecting your new window treatments, focus on privacy and light control. First, check which direction your window faces. Is privacy important for the room? Do you want to control how much light comes in?
Energy-efficient window coverings can improve your home’s look and help reduce your energy bills. Many modern designs also have easy-to-use features, making them simple to operate. Additionally, they often include safety measures for children. Finding the right window treatments has never been easier.
Four questions to ask yourself before buying window treatments:
1. Light filtering, privacy, room darkening capabilities, or all three
2. Horizontal or vertical orientation
3. Corded, cordless, or motorized operation
4. Recede or advance in the room – color or neutral
Understanding how your window treatments must function before you start your search will save you time and money.
