Quality Counts

We understand the importance of a budget, but we also want to emphasize the value of choosing the highest quality window treatments. The upfront cost of custom shades or blinds will pay off over the long term. Your shades will fit your windows perfectly and last for many years. Quality is particularly essential for window treatments that see a lot of use, such as those in a living room or bedroom. Purchasing items made to last the test of time is a sure strategy for long-term investment, and you get to enjoy the high quality and performance for years to come.

Samples Are Crucial

Much like paint colors, window treatments will look different when the light changes. That’s why an in-home consultation can be so important - it gives you the oppurtunity to view the window treatments in the spaces in which you plan to use them. During your in-home consultation, we suggest placing our samples near the window you’ll be dressing and looking at them at various times of the day. Pay special attention in the early morning, midday, and dusk to get the best idea of how the covering will look.

Consider a Layered Look

Layers at the window create not only texture and visual interest but also enhance the functionality of the window coverings. Don’t feel restricted to layering sheer and opaque drapery panels. Woven wood shades look fantastic paired with drapes or shutters. You can also use sheer shades with shutters or faux wood blinds. Layering gives you more control over natural light and your privacy.

Don’t Forget the Importance of Hardware

The hardware you choose is as vital as the fabric. Think of hardware as the finishing touch to your drapery. Your favorite outfit looks great on its own, but the addition of a few choice accessories takes the style factor to the next level. Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery have premium hardware options with custom finishes, including satin nickel, brushed bronze, and matte black.

Hang Your Window Treatments Properly

The time you spend choosing the perfect color and style of window treatments will matter little if they are hung improperly. Drapery looks its best hung several inches above the window frame as it gives the illusion of larger windows and higher ceilings. Consider a sleek, elegant covering, like a flat Roman shade, for windows in smaller spaces. Mounting a Roman or roller shade inside the window frame gives a cleaner, uncluttered aesthetic and is the ideal choice for windows or rooms that lack extra space. Our installation experts know all the tricks to maximize the visual impact of your space and will do their best to ensure you’re happy with the look.
