With so many options available, how do you choose the best window dressings for your custom home?
You design your custom home, even if the actual construction end of the deal is beyond you. You’ve got many decisions to make, from the shape and size of the window openings to the type of windows your home will be equipped with. It might not be obvious, but you will get a chance to choose the window dressings for your custom home. Here’s how you can do it.
Don’t Leave the Windows Bare
Don’t leave the windows bare. Even if you change your mind later on, you’ve got to pick something. That way, you’ll have some privacy and be able to control the temperature inside the room where the window is found. Consider the color of the paint on the walls, and think about window treatments you want before you go on.
Avoid Choosing the Wrong Hardware
The next piece of advice we have for you is to pick the right hardware. You have endless choices when it comes to the hooks, rods, and finials you could use, but remember this: it has to be strong enough to hold up the window dressings you choose.
Think About Functionality and Need
Functionality is important as well. Do you want to let more light in, or block it out so you can get some sleep? That is an essential question to consider. Depending on your needs, you may want to get custom window treatments made!
Pick the Right Size
Next, be sure to pick window dressings that are the right size. If the coverings are too small, then it’s just as much of a problem as if the coverings are too large, so keep that in mind.
Consider the Materials You Want
After that, it’s time to pick out the materials you want. Take a minute to think about the aesthetic of your custom home. Make sure the window dressings will be safe for your children and pets to interact with, and make sure they are easy to clean. This factor helps you determine what window treatments you should use, depending on where the window is – in a mudroom, in the kitchen, in a bathroom, or in the laundry room.
