Step 1: Choose Your Window Treatment Type

Several window treatments are available, including curtains, drapes, blinds, shades, shutters, and valances. Each type has advantages and disadvantages, so it’s best to consider which type of window treatment will suit your needs best.

Curtains and drapes can provide a softer, more luxurious look, while blinds and shades are ideal for controlling light levels in the room. Shutters can offer an elegant statement to any space, giving it a timeless style, and valances add a decorative touch to windows, providing privacy and blocking out sunlight.

Select Suitable Materials

When selecting window treatments for your new home, consider the material used and color selection. When choosing fabrics like curtains or drapes, pick one that is easy to clean and maintain over time. If you’re looking for something low maintenance, blinds or shades may be more suitable options. As for color selection, you’ll want to choose a hue that coordinates well with the other decor in your room.

Keep the Installation Process in Mind

Finally, you should also consider the installation process for each window treatment. Blinds and shades can usually be installed quickly, while curtains or drapes may require more work. If you’re uncomfortable tackling the installation yourself, it is best to call the professionals at Metropolitan Window Fashions.
