Window Treatment Ideas

We all want our homes to be a paradise – a beautiful oasis of peace amidst the hustle and bustle of our daily lives.  Allowing the natural sunlight to bathe each room is a great way to make our home a comfortable nest.  Choosing the right window coverings is critical for allowing the amount of sunlight you want in each room.

Wooden blinds, shutters and blackout draperies are great for rooms with extreme exposure to the elements.  Other options for windows with less exposure to the sun can be covered with shadings, sheers and lighter weight drapery fabrics.  Both options can also provide the privacy that you need.

Visit our website, www.carolscustomdraperies.hdwfg.com to learn more about the solutions we offer.  We also invite you to visit our showroom, a Hunter Douglas Gallery dealer just north of Dallas/Ft. Worth in Denton. The address is 112 W. Oak Street on the historic downtown Denton square.  We leave no stone unturned to provide you with the best possible solution for your needs. 

Buying Window Treatments

I have always believed in being a “smart buyer,” someone who doesn’t buy products or services on a whim or just because a neighbor or an acquaintance bought something flash and I should be jealously obliged to follow suit. When it comes to treating the windows, one should always buy a drapery or shade for the right reason.

There are various reasons why a serious buyer goes window treatment shopping:

• The most popular reason for covering the window is for temperature control.  Hunter Douglas Duette Architella shades can be highly effective in controlling the heat loss or heat gain of a room without having to spend money on expensive air cooling equipment.
•  People also buy window treatments for privacy and security reasons.

Apart from other reasons, aesthetics should be kept in mind.  Color and texture should reflect the mood and style of the room.  Accent your windows with valances and stationary panels beautifully displayed on decorative drapery rods.  This could also be a good place to bring color into an otherwise monochromatic setting.
