What “Custom Window Treatments” Really Means
The word custom gets thrown around so often in home design, but what does it actually mean? For Blinds & Designs clients, it signifies made-to-order products, built to careful specifications. In other words: the opposite of mass-produced window coverings that you order online or grab at a local outlet.
The custom route offers considerable benefits, from high-quality fabrics and materials you won’t find at big box stores; another benefit is professional installation. A key factor? Getting the size right, from the start.
Custom Window Treatments and Precise Sizing
Standard blinds and shades come in a handful of standard widths and lengths, which might not match your window frames. A frame that is an inch too wide for your standard window treatment leaves gaps for light and drafts to sneak through.
Custom sizing fixes that by measuring the window in front of you, not an average one, so the finished piece sits flush against the frame.
What About Uniquely Shaped Windows?
Not every window is a simple rectangle; arches, bay windows, angled skylights, and round accent windows all call for custom solutions. These unique windows are usually the most interesting architectural feature in rooms, but homeowners often leave them uncovered because they can’t find treatments that work.
A custom approach plans for shape from the start, with coverings that enhance those specialty shapes.
Custom Window Treatments Can Suit Different Interior Design Styles
With custom choices, you can also match the treatment to a room’s personality. For instance:
- Farmhouse spaces tend to favor woven wood shades or relaxed linen in warm and neutral colors.
- Coastal rooms appreciate light fabrics that filter the sun without dimming the space.
- Traditional interior design styles might call for structured drapery paired with wood blinds.
- Modern or minimalist rooms usually look cleaner with roller shades in a neutral color.
The incredible range of fabrics and materials also means there are color matches for whatever a room needs, as well as varying thicknesses and opacities. That way, you’ll have practicality and a beautiful aesthetic without sacrificing either.
Upgrades and Control Options for Custom Window Treatments
A standard blind might have basic pull cord operation and little more to offer. When you order Hunter Douglas custom window treatments, you can select options like Top-Down/Bottom-Up, designer fabrics, blackout systems, and motorization. These tailored conveniences serve your purposes with panache.
Custom Window Treatments Are a Process
This ordering process comes down to a few steps: measuring precisely, planning the shape, and choosing materials suited to the room. By taking the time to work with and listen to our customers, they’re able to get window treatments that look and perform a step above ones from the big box stores.
